Brightening Your World with Upp Full Spectrum Light – I’ve always been deeply aware of how my surroundings impact my mood and productivity. Natural light, in particular, has a profound effect on my well-being. But living in a city where grey skies are the norm, I’ve often found myself searching for ways to bring that uplifting daylight feeling indoors. That’s when I discovered Upp Wellbeing and their transformative product the Upp Full Spectrum Light.
The company tagline “Brightening Your World” couldn’t be more fitting. They have reimagined how we experience light, creating a sleek, ultra-thin panel that mimics the full spectrum of natural daylight. Bringing the glorious sunlight into our homes and workspaces.
Their mission resonates deeply with me: making the benefits of daylight accessible to everyone, regardless of location or weather. I was especially drawn to the idea that something as simple as better lighting could enhance mood, sleep, and overall health. When I learned that Upp designed a light that not only works beautifully but also blends seamlessly into modern interiors, I knew I had to try it.
First Impressions
With the aid of a single screw in the wall, the moment I installed the lighting panel it felt like I had invited a slice of summer indoors. Yes, initially, the light is bright, yet natural, filling the room with an energising warmth rather than a harsh artificial glow.
One of my favourite things about it is the design. It is ultra-thin and mounts flat against the wall looking more like a sleek, minimalist art piece than a light fixture and simple to move from one location to another.
I experimented with the light in numerous rooms in the home. First the dining room: this gave a comforting glow to the space, but there was not enough traffic to benefit from the device to the max, so I then I tried my office, this worked well. By incorporating the Upp Light into my mornings, I noticed a tangible difference in how I feel, even on the dullest days, it made me feel more alert, focused, and energised. It’s as if my body naturally aligned with the rhythm of daylight, no matter how dark it is outside.
As someone who rises early, I’ve found that using the light in the morning helps regulate my circadian rhythm, (this is the body’s natural 24-hour cycle that influences sleep, hormone production, and energy levels). Science supports this too: exposure to bright light in the morning can enhance focus, boost productivity, and promote better sleep at night.
To take advantage of these benefits, Upp has suggested to use the Upp Light in the mornings and during the day, then switch it off a few hours before bed to allow your body to wind down naturally.
My last and permanent location for the moment is in the bedroom where the room is quite dark. Although the room has large windows and a central ceiling light, getting dressed in daylight or darkness, and matching your colours has always been challenging. Resulting in having to go outside to confirm clothing combinations. This is now a thing of the past as the light now eliminates this mystery for me.
Sustainable and Energy-Efficient
Another point many of us are conscious of is efficiency. With rising energy costs, I appreciate knowing that the Upp Light isn’t just good for my well-being, it’s eco-friendly too, costing just over 1 penny per hour to run.
In addition, and for added peace of mind, Upp offers a one-year guarantee as standard. Plus, you can register your light to extend the warranty to two years, covering any manufacturing defects.
If you care about your health and well-being, this light has been a welcome addition. Whether you’re a morning person looking for a more natural wake-up routine, a remote worker in need of better focus, or simply someone who wants to brighten up their space, the Upp Full Spectrum Light has worked well for me.
In a world where many struggle with a lack of sunlight, they’ve created a simple yet powerful solution that’s both practical and uplifting.
