3 LED display/timer
The TL 85 Daylight therapy lamp indicates your current treatment time using 4 LEDs. The treatment
time can be set at the following 4 levels.
The timer function will not be active when the lamp is switched on for the first time. The lamp now
runs until it is switched off again or a treatment time is set (timer = 0 min). In order to use the timer,
set the desired level from 1 to 4 by pressing briefly the On/Off button
time of 30 minutes. The other levels are as follows:
Treatment time
30 minutes
60 minutes
90 minutes
120 minutes
The lamp switches off automatically after this treatment time and steadily becomes darker. To
deactivate the timer function, briefly touch the On/Off button
4 Enjoying the light
Position yourself as close as possible to the lamp, at a distance of between 25 cm and 45 cm.
You can continue to go about your day-to-day activities during the treatment, including reading,
writing, making telephone calls, etc.
• Keep looking directly into the light for a short period of time, as it is absorbed and shows an
effect via the eyes/retina.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as you want. However, the treatment is most effective if
you carry out the light therapy for at least 7 successive days according to the prescribed times.
• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6 am and 8 pm,
and we recommend that you use the device for 2 hours per day.
• However, do not look directly into the light for the entire treatment time, as this may cause
over-stimulation of the retina.
• Start with a brief treatment time and gradually increase the time over the course of a week.
Note
You may experience pain in the eyes and headaches after the first few applications. This pain should
disappear in further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli.
5 Things to consider
We recommend a distance of between 25 and 45 cm from the face to the lamp during treatment.
The treatment time depends on the distance:
Lux
10,000 approx. 25 cm
5,000 approx. 30 cm
2,500 approx. 45 cm
In principle:
The closer you are to the light source, the shorter the treatment time.
