What is the expected lifespan of the dome?
What is the warranty?
Our electronics are warranted beyond their off the shelf warranty and are covered (LEDs, headphones, tablet); for six months. We don’t anticipate issues with our electronics and source them from quality vendors; however should one of these items have an issue outside of the initial six month warranty period, we will replace them to you at our cost. Warranty is voided by misuse or negligence. All non-electrical hardware on the dome is covered for five years.
If I were to buy, is there a maintenance technician that is needed to work on this equipment?
Do you provide virtual support?
Are the lights covered by the warranty? What is the standard cost to replace?
The led lights are covered under warranty for six months. This gives sufficient time to know if there’s the off chance of any manufacturer defects. Assuming they are working properly once installed, these lights should not have to be replaced for a very long time as they’re LED’s which have an exponentially longer lifespan compared to a traditional light bulb. If the LED’s were in fact used enough to need replacement one day, that would require a certified Somadome technician to which we would quote the cost of replacement at that time.

SPACE & PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Ideal Placement Location?
The Somadome does not require its own room and can easily be placed in a waiting room, lobby, or any otherwise underused floor space. The environment inside the dome is noise-canceling, and we have many placements’ users’ experiences not materially compromised by busy surroundings. The main goal with placement is to create a space that feels special and private, so that the user’s feet are ideally not facing a lot of foot traffic. The optimum direction to face the dome’s opening from which the user’s feet come out is north in relation to the energy healing tiles within the base.
The Somadome should not be placed in direct sunlight as it can impact the experience, and should be kept indoors to protect it from unnecessary damage caused by the elements. To best experience the benefits of Somadome, it is recommended to place it away from bright direct overhead lighting or for these lights to be dimmed or turned off during sessions. Direct overhead light competes with the LEDs inside of the dome, resulting in a minimized delivery of color therapy provided by the lighting that is tuned to each specific session type.
Operation / Management of The Dome
The Somadome is very low maintenance and draws a nominal amount of power. Because its default light setting is white, it is intended to stay ‘lit’ or in the on position. The LEDs are designed to stay on at all times without a drain on the overall wattage requirements. The dome requires little more cleaning than a wipe down of its anti-microbial cushions, handles, touchscreen and headphones in-between uses.
How is the dome operated for scheduling, use, and payment?
Currently all scheduling and payment is handled through the host’s existing systems. We are in the process of developing a mobile application that will also provide these options.
In most service environments, operators prefer a more hands-on interaction with their guests since they likely have their own operator or guest liaison to schedule other services, as well as take payment and check guests in. For environments offering the dome as an amenity such as co-working spaces, hotel or living area lobbies, or other environments where sessions are offered as a perk to members – our external scheduling system can help.

We have formed a Research Advisory Board comprised of experts in the field of neuroscience, energy medicine, and color and light therapies; and we have conducted several in-house research studies as well as have several underway.
To review our published white papers on the Somadome core modalities, please review this link.
Among research conducted, in partnership with Dr. Oz’s HealthCorps as well as the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, CA and a doctor of naturopathic medicine in Phoenix, we have evaluated various metrics in controlled groups to determine the impact of the Somadome on these groups of individuals regarding performance, recovery, and stress / anxiety reduction:
- At-Risk youth in middle school and high school
- Firefighters on the front line after the California wildfires
- Professional athletes pre and post performance to evaluate training and recovery
Please inquire for more information to receive data on results collected.
In addition, we have an NIH grant underway through partnership with UCLA’s cardiology department to determine the Somadome’s impact on blood pressure and heart rate variability with cardiac patients.
Research gathered to date demonstrates a strong positive correlation between marked improvements in blood pressure, resting pulse, focus and concentration, as well as overall wellness and mental wellbeing with as little as 2 – 3 sessions. Research conducted on single use indicates improved mood and overall wellbeing with only one use in 92% of users surveyed.
