How To Use

Positioning

Sit close to your HappyLight^® Therapy 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.

The lamp could be positioned as close as 6 inches but within 24 inches of your face. It is most effective when it is positioned slightly off-center. (See diagram.)

Note: Do not look directly into the lamp.

The light from the 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.

Device Pretest

To help determine your degree of sensitivity to light, we recommend that you perform this pretest upon the first use of your HappyLight^® Therapy Lamp.

1. Step 1 - Turn on the lamp and position it about 45cm/18 inches from your face. (Do not look directly into the lamp.)
2. Step 2 - Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If the light has caused any discomfort, stop using it and consult a doctor. If you have no discomfort, you may consider gradually decreasing the distance from the lamp and increasing the use time, which results in more lamp intensity and greater effect. For your initial sessions, you should monitor the degree of any discomfort and accordingly adjust the time used and lamp location.

Certain medications (e.g., anti-depressants) and diagnosed mental health conditions may induce light sensitivity, which may result in discomfort, hyperactivity or hypomania. Consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.

If you have a pre-existing eye condition or are at risk for developing Age Related Macular Degeneration or other eye conditions, consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.

Establishing a Daily Routine

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."

We all have a different sensitivity to light, so it is important to find the settings, distance and time that are comfortable for you. We recommend that you use your HappyLight^® Therapy Lamp 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 lamp daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.

When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, sit closer to the lamp and/or spend more time with the lamp. If you feel a sort of edginess, as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the lamp.

* Recommended time is a function of brightness and distance. Individual results may vary. Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the Device Pretest section on the previous page.
