FULL-SPECTRUM LIGHT SOURCE
Congratulations on your purchase of a KenkoLight™, designed to provide you the
benefits of natural illumination at any time of day or season of the year.
Most organisms thrive under natural sunlight. But much of modern living is spent
indoors during daylight hours. Especially during the winter months, we may receive
only minimal exposure to the frequencies of light that are responsible for life on
Earth and which science has shown can help support physical well-being and
emotional health.
In contrast to an incandescent or fluorescent light source, your KenkoLight provides
lighting in a broad spectrum of wavelengths, including those which correspond to
natural visible solar energy.
LED TECHNOLOGY
But unlike the sun, the KenkoLight produces no potentially harmful ultraviolet rays.
The light-emitting diodes in the KenkoLight offer several distinct advantages over
other electric lighting systems.
Fluorescent light tubes and incandescent bulbs operate at frequencies that create a
flickering effect. This flicker has been identified as causing a feeling of fatigue and
eyestrain. The LEDs that produce KenkoLight illumination are based on a completely
different technology designed to eliminate flicker and glare.
In addition to superior lighting characteristics, LEDs are much more energy efficient.
The KenkoLight consumes less than 30% of the electrical power used to operate a
single 40-watt incandescent bulb.
This type of lamp will also last longer. Under typical conditions the expected service

life of 35,000 hours is equivalent to 10-15 years of use.
KenkoLight includes a digital clock display and a timer for morning wakeup. When
selected, it activates the LED array and gradually increases the brightness of the
illumination to replicate sunrise or dawn. This can promote a more natural waking and

sleep cycle. If desired it may be augmented by the built-in audible alarm.

As an added convenience a universal serial bus, or USB, connection is recessed in the
base of the KenkoLight. This port is compatible with devices that operate within the USB
2.0 international standard.
