Minimum Recommended Program
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 brightness, distance and use time that
is comfortable for you. We recommend that you use your HappyLight
®
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, increase the brightness of the light,
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 exposure 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 of this manual.
