What is Lucia N°03?
The Lucia N°03 is a neuro-stimulating hypnagogic light system allowing a light traveler the ability to experience altered states of consciousness. The light stimulates harmonic brain wave patterns that would otherwise only appear after several years of meditation practice. Essentially, users feel that it is a therapeutic tool to travel into the deeper layers of consciousness.
How does Lucia N°03 work?
The computer controlled system is a combination of solid and flickering white light containing a central halogen bulb with 8 LEDS. The light enters the body through the closed eyes and travels along the optic nerve leading into the central brain. As your cells begin to communicate through the impulses of light (the study of biophotonics), your neural networks move into harmonic coherence. The light expands traveling through your nervous system relaxing the body and allowing it to reset.
The brain stimulation provided from the light gives way to a beautiful journey. As the light traveler you are both the creator and viewer of your experience. One can enjoy powerful kaleidoscopic images, vivid expansive colors, psychedelic effects, and multi dimensional sacred geometric shapes. Music, which is chosen by the light traveler, enhances the experience as the mind combines the two, creating synesthesia an experience of seeing music. The Lucia N3 is not an optical afterimage phenomenon it involves real neuro stimulation. This means that even if you were to experience the same session twice, you will have a different journey each time.
Brain Waves
Understanding our brain waves and brain entrainment is important when trying to understand how the Lucia N°03 light works.
Our thoughts, feelings and emotions start with the communication between neurons in the brain. The electrical pulses generated by neurons firing creates our brain waves. As humans we are constantly shifting and experiencing different frequencies simultaneously. Be it day or night this gives us the ability to experience different states of being and consciousness during our days.
Beta Waves: Conscious mind
Alpha Waves: Gateway to the subconscious mind
Theta Waves: Subconscious mind
Delta Waves: Unconscious awareness
Brain entrainment is a method used to stimulate the frequency following response in the brain. The Lucia Light elicits different frequencies of light allowing the brain an opportunity to synchronize in response to the light.
In these EEG photos you can see the shift in brain wave frequencies during the light session. In image (1) you can see the low Alpha and Theta frequencies along with higher Beta. In image (2) during the light session, you can see the spike in Alpha and Theta waves with lower Beta frequencies.

The session begins with a 2 minute gentle demo introducing the light. After, the light attendant will check in with you on your experience. There are different intensities of the light which can be explored to find what resonates and feels comfortable. A full session will then be selected for the light traveler to dive into. You will be invited to make yourself comfortable, drop out of the mind, let go of expectations, and surrender to the journey. The amount of time under the light will depend on the length of a session.
If at any moment the light is too intense or becomes uncomfortable, you can place your hands over your eyes or gently turn your head away from the light.
Creation of Lucia N°03
The Lucia NO3 was developed in Austria by Dr. Dirk Proeckl (Neurologist) and Dr. Engelbert Winkle (Psychiatrist). Dr. Winkle had a near death experience (NDE) at the age of 7 leading him to extensively research NDE phenomena. In many NDE “seeing light” is commonly reported. This expanded the research into ancient cultures which have used light and flickering light to induce deep meditative/altered states. With the help of modern EEG technology the doctors were able to create patterns and sequences of flickering and solid light while monitoring the effect on the brain.
