Astrea Marbella 300

If you enjoy red light therapy, you will love the Astrea Marbella 300 – a lamp that can truly replace the sun. This new approach, known as Multilight Therapy, represents the next evolution of light-based health technology. The Astrea Marbella 300 belongs to the fifth generation of photobiomodulation panels – the world’s first circadian-optimized light therapy systems.

These advanced devices feature intelligent programs that adapt to the time of day, providing your body with the precise wavelengths of light it needs at each moment. They combine UV light, blue light, red light, and near-infrared light to reproduce the spectrum of natural sunlight and support sleep, energy levels, and overall health in an unprecedented way. No other product on the market can match this.

Your body is not designed to handle high-energy light such as UV and blue light late in the evening, and even red light is not ideal at night. During nighttime, only near-infrared light supports your biology – just like the soft glow of a campfire that once kept our ancestors warm after sunset.

Each panel offers four circadian modes – Sunrise, Midday, Sunset, and Night Mode – allowing you to use your lamp at any time while achieving better results than ever. This ensures maximum health benefits without disturbing your circadian rhythm or sleep quality.

Multilight Therapy was developed by Fredrik Paulún (MSc in Nutrition), author of Light Revolution, to support the health of people who do not get enough natural sunlight.

Research shows that insufficient sunlight exposure is a major public health issue. Around 480,000 people in Europe and 340,000 in the USA die each year due to lack of sunlight exposure (Lindqvist PG, Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021;18(2):747). The Astrea Marbella 300 was designed to help counteract this problem.

The lamp uses carefully selected wavelengths: 295 and 311 nm (UV-B), 415 nm (blue), 630 and 660 nm (red), and 810, 830, 850, and 1060 nm (near-infrared). Together, they form a unique spectrum closely resembling natural sunlight.

Red and near-infrared light are well known for supporting cellular energy production, skin vitality, and recovery. What makes this lamp truly exceptional, however, is the inclusion of UV-B. Without UV-B, no lamp can fully replace the sun, as it is essential for the body’s natural vitamin D synthesis – a process vital for countless physiological functions.

Unlike supplements that contain inactive vitamin D requiring further activation in the body, UV-B directly triggers vitamin D production in the skin – the true biological pathway from the very beginning.

UV-B also activates the POMC gene (proopiomelanocortin), which produces a precursor protein that splits into several bioactive peptides:
• ACTH, which regulates cortisol production in the adrenal glands.
• MSH, which increases skin pigmentation, producing a natural tan.
• β-endorphin, the body’s own “feel-good” hormone that promotes well-being and pain relief.

Through these mechanisms, POMC influences not only tanning but also energy, stress regulation, and mood. Clinical research has shown that short UV-B phototherapy sessions can increase sexual interest and perceived partner attractiveness – an effect likely linked to UV-B’s ability to influence sex hormone activity in the skin (Gorohovski A, Cell Rep. 2021;36(8):109637). A light tan also enhances skin radiance and appearance, further boosting confidence and vitality.

Blue light plays a vital role in maintaining daytime alertness, energy, and cognitive performance. Exposure to balanced blue light around midday enhances focus, reaction time, and mood by stimulating serotonin and keeping melatonin levels low. The Astrea Marbella 300 provides this essential blue light at precisely the right time of day, helping you stay energized, sharp, and in sync with your natural rhythm.

Another key benefit is longevity. By replicating the sun’s broad spectrum, the Astrea Marbella 300 supports biological processes linked to vitality, recovery, and long-term health – all central to living a longer, healthier life.

The lamp is completely safe to use. UV light levels are carefully controlled so that the skin does not burn, yet still receives the full range of beneficial effects. Fredrik Paulún himself moved to Marbella to escape Sweden’s dark, potentially harmful winters – and this lamp is his way of sharing that life-changing sunlight experience with as many people as possible.
