Lumie has expanded its circadian wellbeing portfolio with Willow, a new range of soothing bedtime lamps designed to support healthier sleep routines for babies and young children.

The Cambridge‑based light therapy specialist has applied more than three decades of research to the collection, which launches with three timeless Disney designs: Winnie the Pooh, The Lion King and Mickey & Friends.

Developed in response to growing concern around children’s exposure to blue light at bedtime, Willow emits a warm, low‑stimulus glow engineered to avoid melatonin suppression.

Research shows that young children are significantly more sensitive to light than adults, with blue wavelengths from screens and bright household bulbs known to interfere with natural sleep processes. Willow’s gentle red‑orange light is designed to minimise this disruption and encourage a calmer transition to sleep.

 

 

A key feature of the lamp is its 20‑minute sunset programme, which gradually dims to mirror the natural fading of daylight.

The effect helps signal to a child’s body that it is time to rest, creating a predictable bedtime environment that can reduce night‑time anxiety. Parents can also adjust brightness smoothly and silently throughout the night, with an optional nightlight mode available for children who prefer a reassuring glow.

The collection has been created with modern nursery and children’s interiors in mind. Winnie the Pooh offers a soft, nostalgic aesthetic suited to vintage and nature‑inspired décor, The Lion King introduces warm safari tones, and Mickey & Friends provides a classic Disney statement piece for long‑standing fans.

 

 

Commenting is Jonathan Cridland, Lumie CEO.

“Building on more than three decades of expertise in light therapy, Lumie’s Cambridge-based team is thrilled to launch Willow, a sleep optimised bedside lamp for children, suitable for use from birth. Far more than just a nightlight, Willow’s light is designed to ease children to fall and stay asleep throughout the night and thus improve the sleep of their parents too. Harnessing the scientific link between fading light and rest, Willow offers a low-stimulus glow and a 20-minute sunset to help children establish a natural sleep rhythm.

“Lumie is delighted to be teaming up with Disney on this initial collection, launching three lights featuring familiar designs from Disney Winnie the Pooh, Mickey & Friends and The Lion King. Bringing together timeless design with scientifically grounded function, Willow is an essential tool for the modern nursery.”
