Creating your profile
The Dyson Link app helps you optimise light for your task, location and time of day. Once you've connected the Dyson Lightcycle; task light via Bluetooth, follow simple prompts to create a more personalised light experience.
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.
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.

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.

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
