Lucas Tang Profile Photo

I’m an inventor, founder, and product systems engineer focused on smart glasses, AI hardware, optics, photobiology, and human-centered wearable technology.

I founded Lumos Health to build smart light therapy glasses that make circadian health practical in daily life. The work combines near-eye optics, wearable electronics, photobiology, app and cloud systems, clinical research, and user experience, with granted patents, published research, clinical validation, and standards participation.

At Meta Reality Labs, I work on advanced consumer hardware and smart-glasses-related systems, translating research and technical insight into product concepts, prototypes, and roadmap-shaping architectures.

Before Meta and Lumos, I worked across consumer hardware and product design at Apple, Xiaomi, and other engineering organizations. I trained in mechanical and mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo.

Episode 139 | Light as a Conductor | How to Orchestrate Better Sleep, Mood, and Metabolism

In this episode, Dr. Jamie Zeitzer and Lucas Tang of Lumos Glasses break down how light acts as a conductor, orchestrating every system in your body: your sleep, mood, metabolism, and immune function. You'll discover why the contrast between bright days and dark nights matters more than total light exposure, why morning light directly impacts serotonin production and depression risk, and how light therapy works synergistically with SSRIs. Whether you have outdoor access or not, they share practical, evidence-backed tools to reclaim your natural rhythm—from outdoor time to Lumos Glasses, a fashionable light-therapy solution for those who can't get consistent daylight. This episode cuts through outdated light-therapy advice and equips you with science-grounded strategies to transform your health from the in…
