Answer
Philips EnergyLight complies with the photobiological safety
standard IEC62471. According to this standard, the appliance
represents no risk to healthy eyes and can be safely used.
No, sunburn is caused by UV light. The light produced by this
appliance does not contain UV.
The light is safe to be used around children and pets. However, do
not let children play with the appliance.
Yes, there are no known side effect from using the Philips
EnergyLight during pregnancy.
No, you can use the appliance with your glasses on. Do not wear
tinted glasses or sunglasses when you use the appliance, as these
glasses reduce its effectiveness.
Use the Philips EnergyLight every day at the right time to achieve
the result you want. For more information on the duration of a
session, read chapter 'Using the appliance'. Except when you try to
adjust your sleep time, we advise you to use the EnergyLight at the
same time every day. It is usually sufficient to use it 20 to 30
minutes a day. It is absolutely safe to use it longer, if you want to.
You may start to feel the energizing effect any time between first
use and 1 to 2 weeks of daily use.
No, we advise you to place the appliance at arm's length. If you use
the appliance at a distance of 20-30 in. (50-75 cm), you can expect
the full benefit of its bright light.
No, the Philips EnergyLight is absolutely safe, also when you use it
throughout the day. However, in general avoid using the light in the
last 4 hours before you go to bed, as the energizing effect of the
light may interfere with your sleep. Only 'morning persons' who
want to get more out of their evening can use it in the evening, see
chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Sleep patterns'.
No, the Philips EnergyLight has a durable LED lamp that lasts many
years.
