4. Unit description
Overview
1 Tubes, 2 x 36 W (inside)
2 Transparent cover
3 Mains cable
4 On/off switch
5 Fold-out stand
5. Initial use
Remove the unit from the packaging. Check the device for
damage or faults. If you notice any damage or faults on
the device, do not use it and contact customer services or
your supplier.
Positioning the device
Use the fold-out stand to set it up on a level surface. The
position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 20 cm and 50 cm between the user and the device.
The lamp is most effective at this distance.
Mains connection
Connect the unit only to the mains voltage listed on the type plate. Push the plug completely into the mains
socket.
Note:
• Ensure that there is a socket near the place where the lamp will stand.
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it.
6. 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 develop 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 activi-
ties 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 recei-
ving 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.
