For a healthier you.
At Daylight.ie, our mission is simple: to bring correct daylight conditions back into people’s lives and create indoor environments that actively boost health and vitality. A big part of what we do, is to educate our clients on why natural light is so essential. Once you understand the science of daylight, you realise that it is actually a major factor in every successful business.
Daylight.ie is an Irish company specialising in the education, supply and backup support of health-giving innovative lighting technology.
Our Story & Why
The story of Daylight.ie began with a search for a better way to light our lives. Having previously managed a specialist lighting firm, our founder, Tony Macken recognised that the industry was changing. Standard lighting was no longer enough; we needed lighting that supported human biology.
In 2018, Tony travelled to the International Lighting Exhibition in Hong Kong with a single mission: to find a technology that could truly replicate the outdoor experience. It was there that the vision for Daylight.ie was born.
A Global Perspective
Tony brings a unique, global perspective to every project. His travels have taken him across Europe, India, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, United States, the Falkland Islands, South Antarctic and Africa……Cycling, Sailing, Climbing, Hiking, Motorbiking, driving. Witnessing how different cultures and environments interact with light and nature has deeply influenced his approach to design.
Today, Tony uses that international insight to help all kinds of businesses to introduce correct daylight conditions into the workspace. He is particularly focused on helping Irish nursing homes transform dormant spaces into vibrant, ‘sunny indoor gardens’ improving the lives of residents and staff alike.

Lighting & The Human Circadian Rhythm
Circadian Rhythm is the natural internal body process for humans and animals that regulates the sleep wake cycle and repeats every 24 hours. The term Circadian comes from the Latin Circa, meaning “approximately” and Diēm, meaning “day”.
Although circadian rhythms are endogenous, they are adjusted to the local environment by light which interfaces with endocrine glands of the brain to result in periodic release of hormones. The receptors for these hormones synchronise the peripheral clocks of various organs throughout the human body.
This is how the timing of sleep/wake, body temperature, thirst, and appetite is controlled. The control of this process is made difficult in darkened environments and this is where Ewindow comes to the rescue!
