Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the NorthStar 10,000 more than once a day?
For most people, using the NorthStar 10,000 once a day is sufficient. It is important to keep
in mind that using the light too late in the evening may adversely affect your sleep.
How long do the bulbs last?
Under normal usage (30 minutes a day for 6 months), the bulbs will last three to four years.
We recommend you replace the bulbs after three years of use because they will lose brightness
over time.
Does the light box interfere with prescription meds that require me to stay out of the sun?
Our bulbs have no UV output, so there is no risk of burning or damage to the skin or eyes.
Double check with the pharmacy or your doctor to make sure that it is the UV rays that you
are to avoid and not broad spectrum lighting.
Ophthalmological Concerns
If you suffer from an eye disease or have a history of eye diseases in your family, you should
consult your ophthalmologist before using your NorthStar 10,000. Also, if you are experienc-
ing any temporary eye problems, wait until the problems subside before using the NorthStar
10,000.
When used as directed, all Alaska Northern Lights’ products are free from UV light risk to the
eye and produce a safe, diffused field of light.
