Scientists have long understood the mental and physical benefits
the sun’s rays can bring us. From stimulating the body’s production
of essential vitamins, supporting sleep to regulate our circadian
rhythms and improving our mental health, sunlight is an essential
ingredient of wellness — and life itself of course.
But not everyone gets enough sun. Even in places that enjoy more
sunshine, our changing work patterns and the increasing importance
of the online world means many of us are spending more time inside
and reducing the amount of natural sunlight we enjoy during the day.
We are becoming sun poor.
We have developed a new and effective way to bring the restorative
power of natural sunlight into our homes and ofces.
Meet CAIA, the Smart Solar Reector.
Self-powering and beautifully designed, the CAIA Solar Reector
automatically tracks the sun through the day to bring natural light
effortlessly. Wherever you can — in an ofce space, a dark living area,
illuminating a wall or highlighting a feature — she lifts with sunlight.
The highly efcient mirror made from the thinnest glass and copper can
reect the equivalent of 100W of lighting in full sun, enough to ood a
room of 25 square meters (approx. 269 sq feet) with ambient lighting.

WELCOME
CAIA!
In a world that spends more of its
time inside, CAIA is a smart new
way to introduce the restorative
power of natural sunlight into
homes and offices.
Not a lamp, but an autonomous
self-powering solar reector, CAIA
uses unique algorithms to track
the sun through the day and bring
natural light simply, effortlessly
and elegantly into life.

CAIA’S
POSITIONS
This is CAIA’s ‘FOLD’ position.
In this position she is ‘OFF’.
This is CAIA’s ‘HOME’ position.
In this position she is in ‘STANDBY’.
This is CAIA’s ‘SLEEP’ position.
In this position she is in ‘STANDBY-SLEEP’.

HOW TO
OPERATE CAIA
NEVER APPLY PHYSICAL FORCE AND MANUALLY MOVE CAIA’S MIRROR
CAIA’S Commands
From any of CAIA’s positions, a short press will trigger her to start
scanning to nd the sun.
While she is in the middle of scanning, a medium press
will stop the scan and return to the FOLD position.
While she is in the middle of scanning, a long press will stop the scan,
reset and return to the FOLD position.
While she is in the SLEEP and HOME positions, no action is required to trigger her
to start scanning. When she senses the direct light hitting her (specically the
Sunlight Pointer and mirror), she will autonomously wake up and scan (this may
take several minutes).
When the battery is running low, she will automatically stop all operations and
return to the FOLD position.
Sunlight Pointer
This shows the direction the reected sunlight points to. Just imagine a straight
line that starts from the center of the mirror and goes straight through the
Sunlight Pointer. This is her straight “line of sight”, and CAIA will point the reected
sunlight in this direction.
The Sunlight Pointer is also the camera sensor that CAIA uses to nd and track
the sun. There is an in-built infrared sensor that allows her to detect the sunshine
when she is in the SLEEP and HOME positions, and automatically wake up.
Adjustable Arm
Raise or lower the direction of the reected sunlight by simply loosening the dial
on the side of the base and sliding the adjustable arc (the one with the Sunlight
Pointer) up and down, through the base.
Be careful not to let your hand lose grip while sliding, as you could hit and
damage the Sunlight Pointer. After xing the adjustable arm into the desired
position, please remember to tighten the dial on the base and x the adjustable
arm into place.
TYPE DURATION OPERATION
Short Press 2 seconds START Scan
Medium Press 6 seconds STOP and bring to fold position
Long Press 12 seconds RESET and bring to fold position
Touch Button
CAIA only has one button. To operate, gently apply light pressure with two
ngers (index and middle ngers), to instruct CAIA on what to do.

STEP 3 | Pointing
& Turning CAIA On
Gently place CAIA in your chosen spot. CAIA’s mirror
and Sunlight Pointer must be under direct sunlight
and with a direct line of access to the spot where
you want to reect the light to. Use the Sunlight
Pointer to set the direction of the reected light.
You can adjust the height of the reected beam by
sliding the lower arch up and down, through the base.
To switch her on, using two ngers, apply light
pressure on the touch button for 2 seconds. She will
immediately start scanning (the scan may take up
to a few minutes).
CAIA will nd her best position and autonomously
make micro-adjustments throughout the day. As
long as she’s under direct sunlight, CAIA will keep
pointing in the same direction.
None of this is happening? Check out our
troubleshooting guide below.
STEP 1 | Removing CAIA
from the box
Once you carefully open the box, gently lift CAIA
placing both hands on the top arc to lift her up; then
t her onto the add-on base.
NEVER MOVE/SWIVEL THE MIRROR OR ITS ROUND
CASING BY HAND!
STEP 2 | Charging CAIA
Place CAIA under direct sunlight, with the solar
panel facing the sun, for at least one day.

HOW TO GET
THE MOST FROM CAIA
Where to place CAIA
CAIA can be placed both indoors and outdoors.
What is crucially important is that she must be under direct sunlight to work.
Just imagine two straight lines. The rst imaginary straight line going from
the sun to CAIA. The second imaginary straight line going from the middle
of the mirror, through the Sunlight Pointer, in the direction where you have
pointed CAIA.
Is there anything in the way of these two lines? A tree? A building?
A piece of furniture? Etc.
If your answer is “no”, then you have found a perfect spot for CAIA!
If your answer is “yes”, then it’s likely that spot will not work for CAIA.
If your answer is “sometimes”, then consider that CAIA will work appropriately
only when those two imaginary straight lines do not have any obstacles in the
way. If, for example, a tree is in the way of the imaginary straight line from the
sun to CAIA, then she will stop tracking while the sun is behind the tree.
Once the sun comes out from behind the tree, give CAIA a couple of minutes
and she will start tracking the sun again, all by herself!
Where to point CAIA
The brightness effect is not created by the reected beam of
sunlight itself, rather it’s created by:
1. The surface that is hit by the reflected beam of sunlight
Color and material make the difference. White will reect
light. Black will absorb light. A white plastered wall or ceiling
will maximize the brightness effect. A wooden wall or ceiling
will absorb light and produce a negligible difference in
brightness.
2. The size of the room
The smaller the room, the less space the reected sunlight
will need to “ll”, therefore the brighter the effect.
3. The spot that the reflected sunlight hits
We have found that the ideal spot to point CAIA is the ceiling
or the corner where the ceiling and walls join. Pointing
CAIA high will diffuse light top-to-bottom, maximizing the
brightness effect.
4. The distance between CAIA and the spot where the
sunlight is reflected to
Sunlight can travel far. However, the shorter the distance
between CAIA and the spot you point her towards, the
greater the brightness effect.
5. The brightness of the sun
Seasons, as well as very thin low-level clouds, will affect the
brightness of the sun. The brighter the sun, the greater the
brightness effect in your chosen room.
