The Dyson App and the Dyson light work harmoniously, by helping to optimise the light for your chosen task, location, and time of day. This is done through several pre-set modes and some in which you can customise.
To get started, your machine will need to be connected to the Dyson App. Once it is, navigate to the home-screen and choose either of the following options:
- The In-App remote control
- Scheduling your light option
- Selecting a ‘Manual’ option
Pre-sets explained
Scheduling options:
Away mode
Once active, your light will turn on and off at random intervals between 4pm and 11pm. You can use this while you're away from home, to imitate human presence.
Wake-up mode
You can set your light to brighten gradually, to create a more natural wake-up environment.
Sleep mode
In sleep mode, your light will default to warmer, softer settings and the movement sensor will be deactivated. You can select when to activate and deactivate this in your light’s schedule.
Manual options:
Daylight mode
Tracks the daylight where you live, adjusting colour temperature and brightness in relation to natural daylight. So it's the optimal mode to support your body clock.
Precision mode
Helps improve visual acuity1 by emitting a pool of high-intensity light with a cooler (4600 Kelvin) colour temperature. The light achieves a CRI over 90Ra, displaying colours very close to daylight.
Boost mode
For tasks that require maximum concentration, Boost mode provides an extra 400 Lux and 2000 Kelvin for bursts of 20 minutes, before slowly fading back to your previous settings.
Relax mode
Relax mode provides a warm, relaxing colour temperature (2900 Kelvin) with low intensity which is still bright enough for reading.
Study mode
Exceeds industry-recommended light levels for studying1*, while tracking the colour temperature of your local daylight (from 3600-5200 Kelvin). So, you study under the right type of light for the time of day.

The light can be further customised through the In-App ‘Settings’. Here you can adjust the age of the user. Light requirements change as a person ages. You can add a birth year for the main intended user, and the brightness of Study mode and Relax mode will automatically adjust.
YouTube
The Dyson YouTube channel hosts a vast amount of content that can support on this process. As well as those that provide tips on using, maintaining, and getting the best out of your Dyson machine. Simply use the on-screen search option or navigate through the playlists to start viewing these.
