Using Desklamp
Desklamp has a removable diffuser that easily lifts off to provide flexible
light therapy as well as excellent task lighting.
Position Desklamp at arm’s length (about 50 cm/0 in) with the head
angled towards your face. You shouldn’t stare at the light – especially
when using Desklamp without the diffuser – but light must reach your
eyes to have any effect. If you find your eyes ache slightly, try using it
further away, or with the light dimmed or switch it off for a while.
Without the diffuser – typically 30 minutes
With the diffuser off and the light at full brightness, you’re getting the
maximum benefit from Desklamp so you don’t need to use it for long.
This provides bright, intensive light therapy (,500 lux at 50 cm) that’s
ideal if you’re pushed for time or need a quick boost at work.
With the diffuser – typically 60 minutes
With the diffuser in place and the light at full brightness, Desklamp
provides a softer, wider spread of light (1,50 lux at 50 cm) that’s more
suitable if you have time for a longer session.
There’s no harm in using Desklamp for longer than 60 minutes, e.g. if
you’re away from your desk you can make up this time by dipping in
throughout the day. If you’re more comfortable with it further away or
with the light at less than full brightness then you’ll need to use it for
longer.
You can use Desklamp whilst you’re working at the computer, watching
TV, studying, crafting etc. Dark glasses, tinted lenses or closing your
eyes will all limit the effects of light therapy.
You should notice positive benefits after using Desklamp for three or four
days in a row.
