2 enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 20 cm and 60 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 eyes/ retina receiving
the light.
• Use the brightlight as often as you want. However, the treatment is at its most effective if you carry
out the light therapy according to the prescribed time period of at least 7 successive days.
• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6am and 8pm
and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day.
• 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 stimulation.
3 LeD display
The brightlight TL90 indicates your current treatment time with the aid of 8 LEDs. When the device is
switched on, all LEDs will briefly light up. After a treatment time of 15 minutes, one LED will light up at a
time.
The maximum recommended treatment time will pass after 120 minutes and all LEDs will begin to flash
5 times.
After the 120 minutes has passed, switch off the brightlight by pressing the ON/OFF button.
4 Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 20 - 60 cm between your face and the
lamp. The duration of the application depends on the distance:
Distance Duration
Up to 20 cm ½ hour/day
Up to 40 cm 1 hour/day
Up to 60 cm 2 hours/day
Basically,
the closer you are to the source of light, the less time you should use it.
5 enjoying light over longer periods
Repeat your use of the lamp in the dark seasons for at least 7 successive days, or even longer, depen-
ding on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.
