Operation
1
Switching on the lamp
Press the ON/OFF button on the upper edge of the lamp.
The tubes turn on.
ATTENTION!
The brightness of the tubes may be visibly different when switched on. The tubes de-
velop their full luminosity after a couple of minutes.
2
Enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 20 cm and 50 cm. You can go about your
normal activities while using it. You can read, write, make telephone calls, etc.
• Every so often, briefly look directly into the light, since the effect results from the ey-
es/retina receiving the light.
• Do not look directly into the light the whole time you are using it, however, since that
could lead to overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with shorter periods of illumination, which you increase over the course of a
week.
Note:
Eye aches and headaches may arise after the first times using the lamp. These will go
away in later sessions, as the nervous system will become accustomed to the new sti-
mulation.

Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 20 - 50 cm between
your face and the lamp.
If the distance is 20 cm, the max. duration of use is 1 hour / day.
If the distance is 50 cm, the max. duration of use is 2 hours / day.
Basically,
the closer you are to the source of light, the less time you should use it.

Enjoying light over longer periods
Repeat your use of the lamp in the dark seasons for at least
7 successive days, or even longer, depending on your individual
needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.
