First night headlamp Vitae from Hynek Medřický

Night headlamp with 2 light modes with adjustable light intensity with patented LED technology for considerate illumination at night at home and outdoors

We developed the first "circadian friendly" headlamp, whose light modes were designed to emit as little light as possible in the blue, cyan and green spectral regions, to minimize the disturbance of the circadian rhythms of users, pedestrians and even wildlife in the evening and night (1st orange step is totally without blue and green), and to resemble fire or the sun at sunset. 

1. Press once and the Vitae's patented orange light, which you may know from biodynamic LED bulbs of the same brand, lights up. This light mode does not emit short wavelengths in the blue, cyan and green spectral regions. It is therefore the most circadian-safe light for shining in the evening and at night in terms of maintaining a properly functioning circadian rhythm and the release of melatonin, the hormone of darkness.
2. Press twice and a pleasant very warm light turns on, which at first sight is very similar to the so called honey step of the Vitae EEN, Vitae ENN and Vitae ENN 2.0 LED bulbs. It has significantly reduced emission in the blue spectral region, as well as in cyan and green, so it is especially suitable for the evening.
3. Long press is for adjusting the intensity of the light. As the intensity of the very warm light increases and you hold the button down longer and longer, the light will turn on at maximum intensity*, and will automatically decrease after a while to save battery power. If you keep holding the button still in the first orange mode, the stronger mode will light up and start flashing at the last mode.

4. If you want to shine with intense light right from the start - light up with a triple-click.

   *WARNING: Lighting at maximum intensity heats up the body of the headlamp. 

The patented orange light Vitae allows basic colour recognition compared to the red light of conventional headlamps and yet does not interfere with the eye's adaptation to darkness. At the same time, its intensity (low/high mode or flashing) and spectral power distribution do not disturb circadian rhythms.

You'll see better than you expect. The very warm light with chromaticity colour temperature (CCT) of 1800 K has a low blue and cyan spectral component that reduces the pupillary reflex, allowing more photons to enter the eye than with conventional headlamps with typical cold light, which stimulates the pupillary reflex the most. So orange light does not necessarily mean less light hitting the retina.
