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 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.
