When using the FW-400 daylight therapy for the first time, we recommend
starting early in the morning to restore your day and night time rhythm. Set
the light intensity to the highest level, but remember to listen to your body.
At a distance of approx. 30 cm and on the highest setting, in most cases a
time of 30 minutes (2 timer indicators) is sufficient.
When a lower light intensity is used or in case of a longer distance, you may
set a longer time for the same results.
During use, the light must be aimed at your eyes. However, you don't have
to look straight into the light, but briefly looking straight into the light would
be beneficial. During the therapy you may wear your glasses or contacts as
usual.
The intended use of the Light Therapy Lamp is to provide light source to offer
a kind of "Light therapy" function in which the artificial light environment
would provide end user with sense of relax or help them to ease depression,
or treat seasonal affective disorder. Many people regularly experience lack of
energy throughout the day, this product can be used to boost them and let
them feel more energetic by suppressing sleep hormone inside body
