Safety Precautions
- As with any electrical device, do not use the SunLite in or near water.
- Do not overuse the SunLite. Overuse may cause irritability, excessive energy, or difficulty falling asleep at bedtime.
- It is not necessary to stare into the light. Read, work or talk on the phone during your light therapy session.
- During the first few uses, your SunLite may give off an odor; this is harmless, will not affect the use and will quickly disappear.
- Always use in a well ventilated area away from other heat sources and ensure that air vents are not blocked when the product is in use.
- There are NO user serviceable parts inside the SunLite. DO NOT open or try to access the lamp as this may lead in injury/death.

Light Therapy Basics
LUX or the light intensity at a specific distance from the light is the common
rating used in bright light therapy. The guide below details the SunLite
ratings and average treatment times for the Winter Blues.
Using Your SunLite
For those with mild to moderate Winter Blues, sleep or circadian rhythm
issues, regular daily use of the SunLite can provide relief. For most
conditions, use shortly after waking or in the morning.
Place the SunLite to the right or left of your line of sight as to maximize the light reaching your eyes. Keep your eyes open during light therapy, but do not look directly at the light.
Over the first few days of use, assess the effect and, if necessary, lengthen or shorten the session time to suit your needs.
Symptoms of Overuse
Negative effects are rare with light therapy. If you experience increased
irritability, excessive energy, and/or any consistent discomfort during or
after use, decrease session time or move the light further away. Use in the
late afternoon or evening is not advised, as it may disrupt your sleep.
It is recommended that you consult your doctor before beginning any bright light regimen.
