Product Monday: Category Growth For Artificial Skylights With “Sun”

The first company to produce an artificial skylight with a sun moving across a blue sky was CoeLux. The Italian company sprang from research by Founder, CEO, and scientist Prof. Paolo Di Trapani, in 2009. See image above. More information here.

Since then, other companies have jumped into the category. Innerscene launched it’s first virtual skylight+sun system in 2017. See image below. More information here.

Signify launched its NatureConnect artificial skylight+sun system in 2020. See image below. More information here.

Today, there are half a dozen Chinese companies selling artificial skylight+sun systems on e-commerce sites, like Amazon.com. These include: PeseTech, Empoline, Douyidou, Aidenkid, and Hanshilai.
