Beige: you easily sunburn, tan minimally.
Light brown: you sunburn easily, tan slowly to light brown.
Mid brown: you rarely sunburn, tan easily.
Dark brown: you rarely sunburn, tan very easily.

Lumea provides 5 different light intensities. You will always be able to
change to a light intensity setting you find comfortable.
1 Press the on/off button to turn on the device. The device starts to
operate at light intensity setting 1.
Note: To adjust the light intensity setting manually without using the
setting indication feature, use the toggle buttons until you have reached
the required setting. The corresponding intensity light level lights up
white.
2 Press the setting indication button ( ) and put the device to your skin.
3 After the device scanned your skin, the light intensity indicators blink
white. This shows which intensities are most comfortable based on your
skin tone.
4 Press the confirmation button ( ) to confirm that you want to use the
indicated setting to start using the device.
Philips Lumea will automatically use the highest suggested intensity,
indicated by a continuous lighting led indicator.
Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find
most comfortable. If you want to set the light intensity setting manually,
please consult the table below. This table shows settings that for the
majority of users provides a comfortable, but still effective setting.
5 Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this by using the toggle
buttons.
Note: The device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark.
The 'ready to flash' light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too
dark for IPL treatment with Lumea.
6 After moving to another body area or after recent tanning, perform a skin
test to determine the right light intensity setting. To re-activate the
setting indication feature, press the setting indication button.
Note: Since body areas might differ in skin color, you need to select the
right setting for each body area separately.
