Your new Verilux HappyLight Energy Lamp is a remarkable product with many features and benefits. It:
*At "high" intensity setting with high-energy lens: 10,000 Lux at 15cm/6" to 20cm/8".
Verilux HappyLights provide broad spectrum light therapy to stimulate all of the eye's photoreceptors: cones, rods and the newly discovered melanopsin. HappyLights offer photopic light (primarily stimulating the cones) and scotopic light (primarily stimulating the rods) to reduce the size of the pupil, relaxing the eye for more comfortable light therapy. Melanopsin helps set the body's daily cycles and is triggered by Natural Spectrum Light. Scientists have demonstrated that bright light therapy can act like daylight to restore balance, mood and energy.

To help determine if you have sensitivity to light treatment, we recommend that you perform this pretest upon first use of this device:
Some people may experience light sensitivity to fluorescent lighting. Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort.
Certain medications may induce light sensitivity (e.g., antidepressants) which may result in discomfort or a level of hyperactivity. Consult with your health care provider before using this product.
If you have a pre-existing eye condition, contact your health care provider prior to use.
This product contains magnets. If you have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, any other type of electro-mechanical device, or brain shunts that contain magnets, keep sufficient distance (about 6 inches) between the device and the lamp.
Do not block vents. Vents are necessary for proper function of the electronic ballast. Blocking them may cause overheating of the electronics and increase risk of fire.
Avoid placing this lamp in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat-radiating products such as heaters. Do not place the lamp on top of appliances that radiate heat.
Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight Energy Lamp with your eyes open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing, needlepoint, applying make-up or working at your computer or desk. You may tilt the lamp as required.
The light from the HappyLight Energy Lamp must be directed at your eyes; therefore, your eyes must be open to achieve the full benefit. Note: Tinted glasses reduce the amount of light reaching your eyes.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to it or adjust the settings to increase the intensity. If you experience edginess or are over-stimulated, move the light farther away or reduce session times.
30 minutes to 1hour*/day
Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, in a range of 2,500 to 10,000 LUX (a measurement of light intensity), helped to reverse the symptoms of "Winter Blues."
Exposure strategies affect people differently. We all have different reactions to our environment. It is important to establish a distance and schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light regularly and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini-sessions. Continue to use the HappyLight daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to it or increase the light intensity by switching to the high-energy lens. If you feel a sort of edginess, as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the unit or reduce the intensity of the light.
* Recommended exposure time is a function of output and distance. Individual results may vary. Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the "Device Pretest" section of this manual.
Some people may experience light sensitivity to fluorescent lighting. Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort. Follow directions for pretest in the "Device Pretest" section prior to use.
Certain medications may induce light sensitivity (e.g., antidepressants) which may result in discomfort or a level of hyperactivity. Consult with your health care provider before using this product.
If you have a pre-existing eye condition, contact your health care provider prior to use.

To Replace the Bulb:
This product contains magnets. If you have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, any other type of electro-mechanical device, or brain shunts that contain magnets, keep sufficient distance (about 6 inches) between the implanted device and the lamp.
The HappyLight Liberty Series Energy Lamp offers several ways to direct light where you want it, so you can have more freedom of movement without compromising the quality of the therapy:
Your HappyLight Liberty Series Energy Lamp comes with interchangeable comfort and high-energy lenses, inserted in a bezel and held with magnets to the lamp body, that regulate the light intensity, reduce glare and provide your eyes with even stimulation.

This product contains magnets. If you have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, any other type of electro-mechanical device, or brain shunts that contain magnets, keep sufficient distance (about 6 inches) between the device and the lamp.
Your lenses will yellow over time and should be replaced annually. Contact Verilux customer service at 1-800-786-6850 or order online at www.verilux.com.
Keep Your Therapy Sessions Clear, not Cloudy.
For peak performance, replace the lamp's bulb and lenses every year.
Your energy lamp is designed to provide just the right illumination for your light therapy, and that includes filtering the light to reduce glare and block unwanted ultra-violet (UV) rays. A full season of use will reduce the light output of the bulb, and the UV rays will yellow the filters and compromise their performance. To rebalance your lamp and restore it to optimal performance, replace the bulb and lenses on an annual basis.*
