Lumen is a shower concept inspired by the rising sun. Sunshine and natural light are essential for our wellbeing. The lamp that is integrated in the Lumen shower emits rays of light that activate vitamin D production, just like daylight. This helps users to stay fit, healthy and energized. During a shower session the light will emit the required amount of sunlight per day, so even in the darkest of places users can get their daily dose of sunlight.
To enhance the overall wellness experience, the shower has an integrated boiler: users no longer have to wait for the shower to heat up and this helps to save roughly 30% of water.
