Operation

Instructions for Use

• Power Supply: Plug in the AC adapter into an electrical outlet. Plug the connector of the AC adapter into the HappyLight 2-in-1 Therapy and Task Desk Lamp. (Only use with the supplied AC adapter to avoid damage and fire.)
• On/Off: To turn on the light, gently touch the on/off touch sensitive control button. (When you turn off the light using the on/off button, it will return to the last setting of brightness and temperature when you turn it on again.)
• Mode: There are three color temperatures. The initial color temperature is 5000K. To change the temperature simply touch the mode button to change from 5000K (daylight) to 4000K (natural) and then to 3000K (warm).
• Light Dimmer: There are seven illuminance levels of light intensity on the lamp at each color temperature. Press and hold the light dimmer button to adjust the illuminance accordingly.

Device Pretest

To help determine your degree of sensitivity to light, we recommend that you perform this pretest upon the first use of your HappyLight® Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp.

• Step 1 – Turn on the lamp and position it about 18 inches from your face. (Do not look
  directly into the lamp.)

• Step 2 – Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If the light has caused any discomfort, stop using the lamp and consult a doctor. If you have no discomfort, you may consider gradually increasing the brightness of the light, decreasing your distance from the lamp and increasing your usage time. When you first start using the lamp, you should monitor the degree of any discomfort and accordingly adjust the brightness, distance and time.

Warning:

•  Certain medications (e.g., anti-depressants) and diagnosed  mental health conditions may induce light sensitivity, which may result in discomfort, hyperactivity or hypomania. Consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.
• If you have a pre-existing eye condition or are at risk for developing Age Related Macular Degeneration or other eye conditions, consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.

How to Use

How to Use – Positioning
Sit close to your HappyLight® Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp with your eyes open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing, needlepoint, applying make-up or working at your computer or desk.
The lamp could be positioned as close as 6 inches but within 24 inches of your face. It is most effective when it is positioned slightly off-center. (See diagram.) Note: Do not look directly into the lamp.
The light from the lamp must be directed at your eyes; therefore, your eyes must be open to achieve the full benefit. Note: Tinted glasses reduce the amount of light reaching your eyes.

How to Use – Customization
Generally speaking, the closer the HappyLight® Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp is to you and the higher the brightness, the less time you will need to use the lamp each day to experience results.
If you do not experience desired results or are feeling lethargic, you can:

• Use the high brightness level
• Sit closer to the lamp
• Spend more time with the lamp

If you experience edginess or are over-stimulated, you can:

• Use the low brightness level
• Sit farther from the lamp
• Spend less time with the lamp
• Take a break from using the lamp

Please note that each person’s response to light will vary, so it is important to find the settings, distance and time that are most comfortable for you.

Establishing a Daily Routine

Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, in a range of 2,500 to 10,000 lux (a measurement of light intensity), helped to reverse the symptoms of “Winter Blues.”
We all have a different sensitivity to light, so it is important to find the settings, distance and time that are comfortable for you. We recommend that you use your HappyLight® Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp regularly and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini-sessions. Continue to use the lamp daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, increase the brightness of the light, sit closer to the lamp and/or spend more time with the lamp. If you feel a sort of edginess, as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the lamp.

• Recommended time is a function of brightness and distance. Individual results may vary . Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the Device Pretest section on the previous page.
