Might energy species "lighter" than radiation, with w > 1/3, exist? A dimensional expansion of the cosmological Friedmann Equation of energy has a clear place for them. Such energies would affect the universe much differently than dark energies, and so are here dubbed "ultralight." As the universe expands, ultralight dilutes even faster than light. Ultralight is not considered a candidate to make a significant contribution to the energy budget of the universe today, although ultralight might have affected the universe in the distant past. In particular, the w=2/3 ultralight energy specie appears to have relatively mundane physical attributes. A discussion of properties and falsifiable attributes of ultralight is given. Limits on the possible cosmological density of ultralight in the early universe are determined from existing microwave background and primordial nucleosynthesis data.
