MEET YOUR NEW LEELUU FRIENDS: OWL, HEDGEHOG AND CAT!
LeeLuu Nightlights are the cuddliest, most magical soft nightlights to help kids sleep! They can sense your touch and they give children a comforting light when they need it.
Owl
I love to sleep and take naps for most of the day. But in the night if youre scared Ill glow the shadows away!
Cat
The night is my friend and Dream is my homeland. Come along on the journey, Ill take you by the hand!
Hedgehog
Sometimes when im scared I roll into a ball. But when my friends need me, Ill be the bravest of all!
A MAGICAL LIGHT EXPERIENCE
Children travel through their imagination on their way to sleep. LeeLuu is a companion on that journey, a friend who spreads a comforting light.
LeeLuus feel like magic because they are touch-controlled. This is also very practical, children instantly get the light they need, when they need it, without having to get out of bed.
The LeeLuus work in the most simple and intuitive way. You can turn them on by squeezing or hugging them. To get the right brightness, gently pat them on the back.

DESIGNED TO LAST
LeeLuu is designed to stay with your child as they grow. Thats why the LeeLuus are both washable and easily rechargeable. You can remove the fabric cover with a childproof zipper and wash it. The batteries are charged with a standard Micro-USB cable (included in the package), the same as is used for many smart phones.
TEXTILES THAT FEEL
LeeLuus are touch controlled. This is possible because of textile sensors that can “feel” human touch.
This is enabled through conductive fabrics, fabrics that can be used to measure changes in electric field. Through measuring these changes, a multitude of inputs can be sensed, for example touch.
Developing textile sensors and great applications for them is LeeLuu Labs core expertise. We have patent pending for our own unique textile sensor technology. Our goal is to develop even more products based on this new patented tech.
IN THE DARK, YOUR IMAGINATION CAN TURN SCARY.
Kids have active imaginations. Thats a wonderful thing, but it can also make night time a bit scary for them sometimes. Fear of darkness affects 8 out of 10 kids and many children don’t get enough sleep because of it. Like many parents, our co-founder Emmi Pouta has had this challenge with her own children. Her experience helped us when we created LeeLuu Nightlights.
WHO IS WORKING ON THIS?
LeeLuu Labs is a startup based in Helsinki, Finland. Our founders are from Finland, Sweden and Germany. We share a strong background in design. Developing products for the real needs of people is at the heart of what we do.

CO- CREATED WITH 100 KIDS
We love building and product development! Our first LeeLuus were developed together with over 100 children in the Helsinki area and their families. The kids helped us design both how the LeeLuus look and feel, and how they work.
The LeeLuus have also been tested at home with families. The biggest problem from those tests was that kids didnt want to give the LeeLuus back. You can read areview from Krista at the Puutalobaby family blog (in Finnish). She tells us her kids immediately fell in love with the LeeLuus.
