We know a technology product without a screen is quite unusual these days. We've all become used to doing things on apps and screens. That's why we have put together this set of videos to make learning how to use Luma³ easy and enjoyable.
If you have any questions you can of course reach out to us for support.
📢 Please note: these demonstration videos are produced using our Luma³ Premium model - so there may be some slight differences in operation for your Luma³ Essential. Please refer to the included instructions booklet for detailed instructions.

What's in the box?
When you open up the box to your Luma³, you will find your user guide which has all the information you will need, including a guide for each of the modes and guidance on how to breathe.
Lift up the internal lid and there it is, your brand new Luma³, pull out the cardboard lid as there is a USB-C power cable attached to this - keep it safe.
We design our packaging to be simple, lightweight and minimal to help meet our sustainability goals.
Switching on Luma³
To turn on your Luma³, first power the device using the supplied USB-C cable, then look on the bottom above the label, there is a small black switch - slide this over from the "0" to the "1" position.
Luma³ will turn on and go directly into Standby/Hourglass mode.
Buttons
On the bottom of Luma³ there are four buttons that act as feet. You can use these buttons to perform the 'press' and 'press and hold' interactions.
When Luma³ is on a hard surface, you can use these buttons by pressing gently on any of the top four corners.
If you're holding Luma³ in your hands while using it, simply press any of the buttons with your fingers. All of the buttons do the same thing so you don't need to worry about which one you press.
Breathing modes
There are four breathing modes to choose from: Square, Coherent, 4-7-8 and Triangle each indicated by a different colour.
To choose a breathing mode, while Luma³ is in standby, press gently on any of the four corners and release. Each time you do this Luma³ will shift colour to indicate your choice.
Once you see the colour of the breathing mode you want to do wait until the light inside begins to spin. Luma³ will wait like this while you get comfortable. Once you are ready press again.
Follow the intensity of the light with your breath. As the light rises up breath in deeply, through your nose, until the light begins to pulse.
Each pulse is a one second long indicator to hold that deep breath.
Once the light begins to fade, breath out slowly at the same rate.
Square breath also has a period after you breath out where you should wait before the next breath - this is also indicated by a pulsing light.
The breath mode will last for the recommended 5 minutes and then automatically go back to standby. If you'd like to finish sooner, press and hold for a moment until Luma³ switches colour and then release to go back to standby.
TIP: Try all of the different modes and see which one feels right for you in different moments.
Exiting modes
If you'd like to finish a breath mode before the 5 minutes is over, press and hold for a moment until Luma³ Essential switches colour and then release to go back to standby.
This also works when in Sleep Ritual and Ambient modes
Sleep Ritual mode
Your Luma³ Essential has a special mode to help you to prepare for sleep. To access this, from standby mode, press and hold for 3 seconds. The light inside will spin and shift from orange to yellow indicating when you release the press and hold you will select Sleep Ritual.
Sleep Ritual is set to be at a much lower brightness so don't worry if it
looks a little dim in a fully lit room - it's meant for a gently lit
bedroom.
Sleep Ritual begins with an extended 4-7-8 breathing pattern - the light will spin inside while you get yourself comfortable and begin once you press any button. Once the breathing pattern is over, Luma³ Essential will move on to sunset mode. If you decide you're ready to finish breathing early, pressing briefly again will skip directly to the sunset mode.
Sunset mode will slowly fade through yellow, orange red and pink while gradually getting less and less bright. At the end of the cycle Luma³ Essential will go to sleep.
A press and hold at any point will exit to standby.
TIP: Place Luma³ Essential on the floor next to a wall and use the reflected light as your guide.
Ambient mode
From standby, a long press and hold for 6 seconds will start Ambient mode. To get there you'll pass through Sleep Ritual mode. The light will spin for Sleep Ritual mode, circle once in white and then start spinning for Ambient mode - release your press when you see this.
Waves of colour drift across Luma³ Essential. It will do this for as long as you like - or until the battery runs out if it's not plugged in.
Press and hold to exit.
Switching off Luma³
You don't really need to turn Luma³ Essential off - it's designed to be left on.
If you do decide to turn it off, simply slide the power switch back from the "1" position to "0".
