Nitori Releases 'Eye-Friendly Desk Light' that Reproduces Natural Light Close to Sunlight, Reducing Eye Strain for Children During Study and Reading

From Nitori Co., Ltd. (HQ: Kita-ku, Sapporo; Chairman and CEO: Akio Nitori), we introduce the 'Eye-Friendly Sunlight LED Desk Light (ML25CL),' which began sales in mid-March 2026 at select Nitori stores and Nitori-net. 【Product Page】https://www.nitori-net.jp/ec/product/2113400061934s/

For parents who want to create a better learning environment for their hard-studying children, we introduce Nitori's new desk light.

White LEDs, widely used in desk lights, contain more blue light—the shortest wavelength and highest energy in the visible spectrum—compared to sunlight, which tends to cause significant eye strain with prolonged use. Nitori's new desk light uses 'Sunlight LED,' which has a wavelength close to that of sunlight, significantly suppressing blue light compared to conventional white LEDs. It achieves a 'clear viewing environment' that reduces eye strain while allowing diagrams and colors in textbooks to be seen as they are, just like under natural light. Furthermore, the vertically and horizontally movable arm can be adjusted to an angle that prevents shadows on the work area, and by illuminating the entire desk uniformly, it creates a learning environment where children can easily concentrate.

Product Features ① Designed to reduce eye strain with LEDs that have a wavelength close to sunlight White LEDs, widely used in the backlights of screens such as computers, TVs, and smartphones, as well as in desk lights, contain a lot of blue light, posing a challenge of increased eye strain with long-term use. This product adopts 'Sunlight LED' with a wavelength similar to sunlight, significantly suppressing blue light to achieve a design that reduces eye strain even during long hours of study or reading. It creates an environment where children can concentrate with peace of mind.

② Light that shows diagrams and colors as they are While suppressing blue light, it achieves natural lighting like that seen under the sun. It faithfully reproduces the colors of illustrations and diagrams in textbooks as they would appear in natural light. ※Compared to general white LEDs, it achieves a value closer to natural light on the color rendering index (a measure of how well colors are perceived).
