Great update and am a big fan of your products. Love how you are always pushing forward. Am curious, the lux vital is not a uva light correct? If not, curious if you have looked at the feasibility of a red/nir, uva (for tanning and opsin) and uvb (vit d) combination light?

It is UVA, but at the upper edge (385nm), and visible light is sometimes defined as 400-700nm, other times as 380-780nm. Not sure why. UVA goes all the way down to 320, but 380 is the neuropsin peak (OPN-5). The Chroma Trinity we are working on will be the everything combo light. Dr. Jack actually suggested we do the total combo a while ago and we held off due to trickiness with getting a switch for UVB, but we will have that.
Those visible light boundaries are fuzzy as it's very individualized - it's not a hard cutoff as in eg a responsivity chart for an InGaAs detector or something. Analogy would be boundaries of audible frequencies for humans - children commonly hear 15kHz+ but adults don't. I'm also a "real scientist" who is looking at ways to possibly work more or partner with you - I think it's criminal that the indoor lighting used (not to mention the constant sitting) is supposed to be somehow conducive to clear thinking and decision making. Thankfully my workplace has abundant natural light and outdoors space, but that's extremely rare - spent my PhD in a basement dungeon basically.

Awesome, definitely looking out for that one. Is the plan to keep the same 385nm in the Trinity then?
