About Wondow Blinds Light

According to statistics, in Beijing alone, more than one million people live in basement dwellings devoid of windows and sunlight. The Window Blinds Light, shaped like a window with adjustable blinds, can simulate the experience that sunlight enters the room from outside. It is designed to improve the quality of life for people in otherwise dark living environments.

The product is shaped like a window and simulates sunlight. By adjusting the window blinds or by using the light’s app, the user would experience the effect of sunlight brightening the room. Additionally, in high latitude zones, where days are shorter during winter and sunrise is after 9:00 a.m., the Window Blinds Light could offer a wake-up function. The light would gradually become brighter in the morning, as if sunshine were radiating from the outside, to wake up the user gently. The blinds serve as the collective switch of The Window Blinds Light. The stick used to adjust the blinds can be manually rotated to open the blinds and to adjust the intensity of the light. Using the app downloadable on mobile devices, users can also remotely control the light to adjust brightness or set the alarm. While windows and light may be ordinary for many people, the Window Blinds Light would provide something extra for people in basement dwellings.
