Dr. Engelbert Winkler, a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and legal consultant, and Dr. Dirk Proeckl, a medical neurologist and psychologist, each run their own practices in Tyrol, Austria. After decades of research, they combined their expertise to create the Lucia N°03 in 2009.
Dr. Winkler’s inspiration came from his own near-death experience, which profoundly shifted his perception of life. He went on to interview hundreds of others who had NDEs, noting shared themes like moving toward light, losing awareness of time and space, and temporarily disconnecting from the ego. His early work involved guiding clients toward a solid light source during hypnotherapy.
When he shared these findings with Dr. Proeckl, Proeckl suggested combining steady and stroboscopic (flickering) light to gently entrain the brain—leading to the development of the Lucia N°03.
Their intention was not to create a device to fix or treat imbalance, but to offer an awe-inspiring experience that helps people momentarily step away from stress and reconnect with their natural wholeness. The Lucia N°03 is meant as a path back to remembrance of that state.

The flickering light of the Lucia N°03 guides the brain into expanded states of consciousness—marked by increased alpha, theta, and gamma wave activity—and ultimately into coherence, a harmonious state commonly seen in experienced meditators and individuals in trance. As these shifts occur on the physical, emotional, etheric, and energetic levels, the light traveler experiences an immersive inner journey filled with colors, patterns, shapes, deep meditation, memories, lucid dreams, astral travel, and more.
The body absorbs far more light than the eyes can perceive. Beyond the visible spectrum is the thermal light spectrum, which is sensed through the skin. Modern indoor lighting often emits only visible light, creating imbalances in cellular metabolism. The Lucia N°03 delivers a balanced, wide spectrum of both visible and thermal light, supporting optimal wellness.
The Lucia N°03 holds an international patent for its unique combination of solid and flickering light, making it the highest-quality experience available—both in terms of the vivid visual effects it creates and the body’s holistic, healthy response to the light.
