Ultra Portable Circadian-Aligned Lighting

Take your flicker-free, circadian-aligned light with you. Stimulating Daytime White + Relaxing Sunset Amber. 8000mAh battery bank.

How do I use the Sky Portal Mini?

For daytime use, set the Sky Portal Mini to maximum brightness and dial it all the way to daytime white while the sun is still up. This invigorating light is engineered to stimulate OPN3, OPN4, and OPN5 - non-visual photoreceptors that help boost alertness, focus, and mood.

As the sun begins to set, gradually shift the settings toward a deeper amber tone, ending with pure deep amber and boosted 660nm deep red. This transition mimics the sun’s natural progression, helping your body wind down, increase melatonin production, and prepare for restorative sleep.

After dark, DO NOT use the highly stimulating white channel, instead set the device to 100% Deep Amber and dim to a level that is comfortable.

It also doubles as a portable power bank to keep your other devices charged on the go.

How does it work?

The Sky Portal Mini uses a custom-engineered white light channel that removes the harsh, eye-straining dark blue spike found in most indoor lighting. In its place, it delivers a balanced spectrum rich in beneficial cyan (OPN4 stimulation) and violet (OPN3 stimulation) wavelengths.

OPN3 is linked to mood regulation, hormonal balance, and mental clarity. OPN4, also known as melanopsin, plays a key role in regulating your circadian rhythm, boosting alertness, and supporting stable energy during the day. Together, these non-visual photoreceptors help you stay focused, resilient, and aligned with your body’s natural cycles.

How soon will I notice a difference?

Many people feel the effects of the Sky Portal Mini immediately - especially in terms of energy, alertness, and mood. OPN4 (melanopsin) stimulation can begin shifting your circadian rhythm within the first few sessions, helping you feel more awake during the day and more naturally ready for sleep at night.

For those using it to combat seasonal dips in mood or focus, consistent daily use for 1–2 weeks is often enough to notice a significant lift. Longer-term benefits, like improved sleep quality and steadier daytime energy, build as your body adapts to a healthier light environment. The key is consistency - your biology responds best when it receives the right light cues every day.

How do I use my Sky Portal Mini?

How long will it take to see results?

Can I use the Sky Portal Mini at night?

Yes, but ONLY use the device set to 100% Deep Amber as the white channel is highly stimulating and will disrupt sleep if used after dark.

Why would I choose the Sky Portal Mini over the Sky Portal 2.1?

The Sky Portal Mini is made for travel, flexibility, and tight spaces. It gives you the same powerful circadian-supporting light as the full-size Sky Portal 2.1, but in a compact, portable form you can take anywhere. Use it in hotel rooms, at your desk, in your kitchen—anywhere you need better light but can’t set up a full rig. If you want full-room immersion at home, go with the 2.1, but if you need something to keep you aligned on the go, the Mini is the clear choice.

Why does Opsin simulating light promote a natural circadian rhythm?

Cyan to Violet wavelengths of light stimulate opsin containing cells, which act as the main wakefulness/sleepiness controllers. These are the key wavelengths and photoreceptor pathways that when stimulated, promote alertness and circadian rhythm regularity.(Study)

The Sky Portal uniquely promotes circadian and mental health through opsin stimulation balanced with deep red light.

Is this just a high powered SAD lamp?

The Sky Portal Mini is far more than a S.A.D. light. It is a portal connecting the interior of a building to a natural outdoor setting.

The idea that S.A.D. is a condition that only affects a small segment of the population is misleading. Nearly all people feel and perform worse in poor light environments where their circadian rhythm is disrupted, we only give it a special name when these normal reactions cross a somewhat arbitrary threshold. Better light leads to a better life. We've custom tuned the white LEDs in this device to have no cyan gap and offer excellent opsin stimulation, we then balanced that stimulating white with a powerful and relaxing Deep Amber channel.

A Big Circadian Rhythm Plus

"I purchased the original version of this Sky Portal Mini & bc of battery/charging issues couldn’t use it regularly. Once it was replaced with this newer version, I’ve definitely seen an improvement of my circadian rhythm, helping to regulate my wake & sleep pattern! I’ll also mention here that the customer service I received from Chloe was excellent! I have a # of other Chroma products that I’m also very pleased with, including the 2023 version of the Ironforge still going strong, & the newer Flashlight. My next will probably be the new Mini version of the Ironforge. (BC of space limitation, I use my Ironforge for a systemic treatment as well)"

Good Stuff!!

"I've been using SPmini for quite some time now. And I can say that it genuinely works. I use it 20 minutes in morning, and it wakes me up nice, and gets me ready for the day. Good Purchase."

— Himanshu B. (5/5)

Take it with me everywhere!

"The perfect travel companion, whether car camping, staying in hotels or airbnbs I cant live without my Sky Portal Mini."

— Andrew L. (5/5)

Happy overall

"The Sky Portal Mini is a nice device and gives a good light. It comes with a stand, which I like much more than expected. It has rubber feet, one of which fell off on the first day (it’s gone, I don’t even know where it is). I would have appreciated to be able to power the two different LEDs separately instead of having a sliding scale. The button operation is not smooth, most of the time I have to press several times and I keep thinking something’s wrong. Maybe it just takes some time until the input is detected. If you don’t plan to use it for traveling, I don’t think it’s worth it to get a Mini, better get the normal version."

— Silvan B. (4/5)

High quality, but know your use case!

"The mini has a high build quality and nice UI, however, its use is more limited than I expected. Not dinging the score because this is largely my fault, but the advertising could also be clearer. If you want a portable SAD or midday entrainment style light, amazing! Then as a bonus you have early evening capability as well. Unfortunately, I was expecting to use it as a first and last hour of the day device. Even at the lowest power setting, it feels too strong for that. It's jarring first thing in the morning, and too powerful late night. For travel, it's still superior to the typical hotel lighting, of course. I'd love a different spectrum offering in a similar package. Much lower minimum brightness and color spectrum, maybe some IR."

Energizing light

"Purchased this device hoping it would help with my seasonal blues. I typically wake up about an hour and a half before the sun in the winter time I was starting to drag. I look forward to my morning coffee and skylight mini time. My wife thinks I’m insane sitting at the table with this bright a** light but it works and she married me so… luckily for me she really enjoys the amber setting at night. We no longer use the lights in our house and just turn this on while we wind down at night. It’s a vibe. Nice that it’s portable so I can continue my light obsession on the road. Also have the ironforge, radiance and just ordered the ironforge mini. Every product chroma sells is impressive and worth the price. I need to unsubscribe from their marketing emails because it’s costing me an arm and a leg lol."

— Blake (5/5)

Every day use

"I had charging issues with the original sky portal minuy that I purchased. However, chroma was great at getting me a replacement which has worked just fine since. I use this light everyday. Would definitely recommend"

— Spencer Y. (5/5)

Hi, I've been a bit

"Hi, I've been a bit disappointed with Chroma's Sky Portal Mini. I was hoping to get a red light for the dark mornings of autumn and winter. However, I only get an "orange" light from this device. So is it a red light or do I need another device? Best regards, Maija from Finland"

— Maija K. (5/5)

Perfect day and night companion

"I love using it during the day while I work on my laptop to feel alert and productive. Then at night, warming down with the amber light to prepare my eyes for sleep. The warm light is like a candle light, so soothing, Highly recommend for anyone looking to incorporate a little light therapy. I can't wait to invest in the Sky Portals for my office."

— Katie L. (5/5)

Happy Corporate Traveler

"A device for the weekly road warrior at a price point for someone who wants to stack as many sats as possible. Truly exactly what I was hoping for. Helps wake me up to start the day and gives a healthier alternative with the amber light to end the day. Hotel fluorescents be damned!"

— Tyler M. (5/5)
