In 1990, Patrick Jacquelin discovered the daylight bulb on a trip abroad. Recognizing that natural daylight is the healthiest and most comfortable light for our eyes, he realised that this 'daylight simulation effect' could benefit thousands of individuals who need natural light for everyday tasks, or more specifically, for hobbies that involved intricate detail and color matching such as cross-stitching. From this The Daylight Company was created. Since then, the company has steadily grown and today we are the market-leading brand of speciality lighting technology for the hobby industry across Europe and we are well on our way to making Daylight the No.1 brand for Craft Lighting.
