How do I use the Sky Portal?

For daytime use, set the Sky Portal 2.1 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 dial 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. 

How does it work?

The Sky Portal 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.

When set to 100% white at 10 inches, the Sky Portal produces well over 10,000 melanopic lux - enough to lift mood, sharpen focus, and help counteract the winter blues by simulating the biological effects of natural daylight.

How soon will I notice a difference?

Many people feel the effects of the Sky Portal 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.

    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. 

    How long will it take to see results?

    Many people feel the effects of the Sky Portal 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.

    Can I use the Sky Portal 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.

    How do I mount the Sky Portal?

    For maximum optionality, the Sky Portal is designed to be able to mount on any standard photography light mount. We also include a clamp style desk mount as shown in the images.

    Why would I choose the Chroma Sky Portal?

    Scientifically Proven Benefits:
    Our portal is designed based on the huge set of research showcasing the positive effects of Opsin stimulating light on productivity, mood, and sleep regulation. OPN4 or Melanopsin is the start of the main pathway that controls sleep wake response for a more effective Day Shift signal.

    Seamless Integration:
    Easily incorporate the Sky Portal into your daily routine. Whether you're waking up, working, or even playing games, it's a versatile addition to your personal light environment.

    Invest in Your Well-Being:
    Prioritize your mental and emotional health with the power of light. Elevate your mood, boost productivity, and improve your sleep quality with the Sky Portal.

    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 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.

    What is the guarantee on the Sky Portal?

    We are confident that your experience with the Sky Portal will be nothing short of extraordinary. However, we understand that personal preferences may vary, and we want you to have complete peace of mind when you choose us as your trusted light solution

    Yes! The Sky Portal is compatible with both 110/120V and 220/240V (adapter not included).
    Is the Sky Portal portable? Can I travel with it?
    While technically you could it was designed for a more permanent setup. If you are looking portable for circadian-aligned lighting solutions we recommend the Sky Portal Mini.

    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.
    Is there support if I have questions?
    Yes. Our team is always here for you. Whether it's setup help, usage tips, or deeper questions about red light therapy, we’re ready to support your recovery goals.

    Simply contact us at hello@getchroma.co and we will respond within 24 hours.
