It started with a bill we couldn't ignore.
Energy prices doubled. Then doubled again. Every quarter the bill got worse, and we had no idea where the money was going. Sound familiar?
Then a slow, unnoticed water leak did thousands in damage — to the floors, the walls, and the next bill. All because nobody saw it happening.
We didn't want another app or dashboard. We wanted something that just shows you, the way a window shows you the weather. In the 1970s, researchers discovered that simply moving the energy meter into the hallway cut consumption by 30%. No tech. Just visibility.
That became Level Lume — started in Antwerp, rooted in design, architecture, and art. To turn the idea into a product, one of us moved to the East Bay, where hardware meets software. Two brothers, four years of prototyping, and one goal: a beautiful object that fights back against bills you can't understand and leaks you can't see.
