The human centric lighting is offered in two sizes, the 19-inch Sunn and the 24-inch Sunn Plus. The smaller luminaire uses 240 LEDs and has an output of 3,300 Lumens, while the larger sized Sunn Plus has a LED usage volume of 336 LEDs.

As a dimmable LED, the luminaire’s Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) range of 2,700-6,500 K, and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) above 85.

The light’s design concept is based on research findings that have associated the impact of lighting on health. Recent studies describe a melanopsin based photoreceptor in human eyes that influences the body's circadian 'clock' system. These melanopsin photoreceptors respond to light stimulation, with a peak spectral sensitivity in the blue range (447 - 484nm) and can suppress or promote the body's production of melatonin based on the context of exposure.
