1 Introduction
Using Desklamp will provide you with the bright light your body
needs during the dark winter months. It can help to boost your
energy levels, put you in a better mood and make you feel more
awake 1 . Light therapy is safe and is proven to help alleviate the
2
winter blues and SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) .
Our circadian rhythms are strongly influenced by light and the short
wavelengths around the blue part of the spectrum are known to be
particularly important. Because the white LEDs used in Desklamp
emit extra blue light, they offer an effective alternative to the white
fluorescent tubes used in larger lightboxes.
Please read these instructions carefully to get the most out of your
Desklamp.
