I'm working on shipping the second batch of the Brighter Lamp, a lamp that's equal to ~30 normal lamps for daylight levels of light indoors.

We delivered our first 500 units last month and got positive reviews, but lots of small issues to straighten out.

This looks nice, my wallet doesn't like the price. I understand it though, that's some tech!
975 CHF for a lamp.. wow. Any independent reviews that I should trust?
What's the reason it is so shockingly expensive?
That's what good lights go for, they're niche and people pay good money for them. I really liked my office lamps and I wanted to get the same for home, after a quick search I discovered they were 1300+ euros
1000+ is the "designer" lighting territory. Margins are enormous margins, but to charge those you need to be an established designer and have a reputation.
wow, looks awesome!

Would love to pick one up if there's ever a sale!
