Luminate vs. Loom: Why This Dedicated Device Beats the Popular App for Brainwave Entrainment


Two faces connected through brain waives

In recent years, visual brainwave entrainment has become a popular way to enhance mental well-being. Two prominent options stand out in this space: the Loom by Lightbath and the Luminate app. Both tools offer distinct approaches to brainwave entrainment, but which one is right for you? Let’s dive into the details.


Loom by Lightbath: Designed for Maximum Impact

Loom was purpose-built for brainwave entrainment. This specialized device packs several features that make it a superior option for users looking to get the most out of their sessions. Here’s why Loom stands out:

  • No Subscriptions, No Hassle

    Unlike apps with recurring payments, Loom is a one-time purchase, giving you full access without ongoing costs.

  • Powerful Light Output

    Loom’s light power is far stronger than smartphone-based solutions, ensuring deeper and more effective brainwave entrainment.

  • Holistic Self-Care Versatility

    From relaxation and meditation to productivity boosts, Loom is equipped with versatile frequency programs that cover a wide range of mental states.

  • Non-Distracting

    Because Loom doesn’t rely on an app or smartphone notifications, your experience remains focused and immersive.

  • Freedom of Music & Sound

    You have the liberty to pair Loom with any music or sound environment, unlike app-based solutions that may limit you to built-in soundtracks.

  • Easy to Use, No App Required

    With its simple design, Loom eliminates the need for complicated app interfaces, making setup quick and straightforward.

  • Mounting Flexibility

    Loom can be mounted on tripods or other stands, providing versatility in your setup for optimal comfort during your sessions.

  • Visual Effects and Stronger Brain Entrainment

    The vivid, trance-inducing visuals offered by Loom provide better synchronization of brainwaves, helping you reach deeper, more effective states of mind.

Luminate App: Accessibility Meets Convenience

Luminate offers a more accessible introduction to visual brainwave entrainment. Since it’s a smartphone app, it’s ideal for beginners curious about brainwave entrainment without needing to invest in additional devices. Here’s where Luminate shines:

  • Super Accessible

    All you need is your smartphone, making it a convenient tool for anyone looking to dabble in brainwave entrainment.

  • Great for Beginners

    Its simplicity makes Luminate a good starting point for those unfamiliar with the concept of brainwave entrainment.

  • Always in Your Pocket

    Since it’s an app, Luminate is perfect for on-the-go use and can easily fit into your travel routine.


Where Luminate Falls Short

While Luminate offers great accessibility, many users find it lacking in several key areas:

  • Low Light Output

    Smartphones aren’t designed for this type of therapy, and the limited light output can reduce the effectiveness of sessions. For true brain entrainment, a dedicated device like Loom offers a far more immersive experience.

  • Boring Session Programs

    Luminate’s session programs can feel repetitive and lack the diversity needed for deeper or longer-term engagement.

  • Subscription Model

    Luminate’s subscription-based model can feel like a financial burden over time, especially if users don’t get the results they’re hoping for.

  • A Limited Experience

    Because Luminate is tied to your smartphone, many users assume that its output is the best this form of therapy can offer. Unfortunately, they may miss out on the full potential of brainwave entrainment, simply because Luminate is technically limited.


Why Loom is the Better Long-Term Investment

Loom offers an experience that’s far more immersive, versatile, and effective than what an app like Luminate can deliver. Many Luminate users try the app, find the results underwhelming, and never return to brainwave entrainment again—simply because they haven’t experienced what a dedicated device like Loom can do.

If you’re curious about brainwave entrainment but want more than just an introductory experience, Loom is the better option. It provides deeper sessions, more powerful visuals, and a broader range of frequencies within the session program—without the hassle of a subscription or the technical limitations of a smartphone app.

This comparison highlights why Luminate is great for beginners but falls short for those who want more out of their brainwave entrainment practice. The Loom by Lightbath offers a more comprehensive, effective, and user-friendly experience, perfect for those looking to integrate brainwave entrainment into their holistic self-care routine.
