6. Operation

1 Switching on the lamp

 Press the On/Off button. The tubes turn on. Set the angle of the fluorescent screen in accord-

ance with your individual requirements.

ATTENTION!

The brightness of the tubes may be visibly different when switched on. The tubes develop

their full luminosity after a couple of minutes.

2 Enjoying the light

Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 20 cm and 60 cm. You can go about your normal

activities while using it. You can read, write, make telephone calls, etc.

• Every so often, briefly look directly into the light, since the effect results from the eyes/ retina

receiving the light.

• Use the brightlight as often as you want. However, the treatment is at its most effective if you

carry out the light therapy according to the prescribed time period of at least 7 successive

days.

• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6am and 8pm

and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day.

• Do not look directly into the light the whole time you are using it, however, since that could

lead to overstimulation of the retina.

• Start with shorter periods of illumination, which you increase over the course of a week.

Note:

Eye aches and headaches may arise after the first times using the lamp. These will go

away in later sessions, as the nervous system will become accustomed to the new stimulation.

3 Important instructions

When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 20 - 60 cm between your face and

the lamp. The duration of the application depends on the distance:

Distance Duration

Up to 20 cm ½ hour/day

Up to 40 cm 1 hour/day

Up to 60 cm 2 hours/day

Basically,

the closer you are to the source of light, the less time you should use it.

4 Enjoying light over longer periods

Repeat your use of the lamp in the dark seasons for at least 7 successive days, or even longer,

depending on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.

5 Switching off the lamp

 Press the On/Off button. The tubes turn off. Pull the mains plug from the socket.

CAUTION!

The lamp is hot after being used. Let the lamp cool off first long enough before you put it

away and/or pack it up!
