#120: Lighting the Way to Better Health with Diego Scaglione of Strainless Lighting

Send us a text

In this enlightening episode, Heather Crimson and Vanessa Baldwin welcome Diego Scaglione, CEO of Strainless Lighting, to explore the hidden connection between lighting and human health. Diego shares how a simple shift to incandescent lighting during his college years transformed his energy, focus, and sleep — inspiring him to start Strainless Lighting.

Together, they break down why incandescent bulbs are more than just nostalgic:

• They emit infrared light that supports mitochondrial ATP production and overall vitality.
• Their continuous light spectrum is gentler on the eyes and more natural for the body.
• They help protect melatonin production at night, supporting healthy sleep and hormone balance.

Diego contrasts these benefits with the downsides of LED lighting — including flicker, eye strain, dehydration, and circadian disruption — and introduces his company’s latest innovations, like dimmable incandescent bulbs with multiple base options and upcoming red infrared bulbs for evening use.

The conversation also dives into practical strategies for reducing blue light exposure from screens, especially for children, and the real science behind effective blue light blocking glasses. Heather and Vanessa share personal stories, tips, and a few frustrations about common myths in the lighting industry. 

Whether you’re a health enthusiast, a biohacker, or simply someone tired of eye strain and restless nights, this episode will inspire you to rethink your light sources and take small, meaningful steps toward a healthier environment.
