Blue Sky Days, Easter Joy, and the Light Inside an Egg

Turns out, quite a bit. Studies suggest blue and green light during incubation can improve chick development and post-hatch growth while red light may accelerate embryo development. At the SkyView™ Lab, we measured 7% of outdoor brightness inside the egg, with rich but softened sky light capable of reaching late-stage chicks—especially in the open when mother hen steps away. Remarkably, even the diffused light delivers 1530 m-EDI lux, far more melanopic light than most indoor humans get in a day. 

And while that little chick rests in its cozy, egg-shell “tiny house” at a balmy 100°F and 65% humidity, it gets peeks of vibrant sky-blue when mama leaves the nest. The experience is diffuse, gentle, and full of promise—like catching a sunbeam through a blanket fort or feeling a bunny's nose twitch against your cheek. Life is quietly preparing to burst forth. 

But here’s the kicker: while chicks bunnies emerge from their nests to forage in a blue sky world, we humans spend 93% of our lives indoors—starved for melanopic light that keeps our internal clocks ticking properly. The recommended minimum for alertness and circadian support is 250 m-EDI lux. Yet most homes, schools, and offices barely reach 100. 

That’s where SkyView™ comes in. 

With patented Gradient Circadian Optimization (GCO™) technology, SkyView™ doesn’t just light your space—it recreates the feel of a blue-sky day indoors. SkyView™ enriches your environment with biologically-tuned melanopic light that’s been shown to benefit mood, focus, and alertness in field and clinical trials. It’s the kind of natural, comfortable light that makes you want to hop like a bunny and seize the day.
