Lumie Desklamp, Manual, Page: 4 / 52

ENG Introduction
Introduction
Using Desklamp will provide you with the bright light your body needs
during the dark winter months. It can help to boost your energy
levels, put you in a better mood and make you feel more awake. Light
therapy is safe and is proven to help alleviate the winter blues and SAD
(Seasonal Affective Disorder).
Our circadian rhythms are strongly influenced by light and the short
wavelengths around the blue part of the spectrum are known to be
particularly important. Because the white LEDs used in Desklamp emit
extra blue light, they offer an effective alternative to the white fluorescent
tubes used in larger lightboxes.
Please read these instructions carefully to get the most out of your
Desklamp.

Getting started
Position Desklamp at arm’s length (about 50 cm/0 in) with the head
angled towards your face. Connect the power adaptor and plug into the
mains. You can turn the light on and off and adjust the brightness using
the touch-sensitive area on the base.
Touch control lighting
The ‘sense’ touchpad provides adjustable lighting that means you can
use Desklamp for reading and task lighting as well as light therapy.
There are four light levels offering approx. 0, 60, 80 and 100% of full
brightness. Press the ‘sense’ touchpad to turn on the light at low level,
to increase the brightness and then to turn off the light.
Or press and hold to cycle through the four light levels and off - simply
let go at the desired light level.
