INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The
BOX
elite OS
is designed to bring sunny days into
your home or office. To assemble the lamp, place one
of the knobs through a slot in the leg. Insert a washer
between the lamp and leg with the straight portion of
the leg pointing forward. Screw in the knob. The height
is adjustable through the slots in the leg. The lowest
slot provides a good lamp height for most people.
Use the lamp
as shown in the photo, 20-30 minutes
each day,
preferably first thing in the morning. Sit in
front of the lamp, with your eyes
15-17 inches
from the
center of the diffuser
to get 10,000 Lux
. Do not look
directly at the light, but you may glance at it
periodically. Keeping regular sleep/wake-hours and
exercising (outdoor when possible) are also very
beneficial.
PROBLEMS
1)
UNIT DOES NOT LIGHT
If the unit does not light 3 seconds after the switch is
turned ON, please check that the plug is well inserted
into the outlet. If it still fails to turn on, try other
outlets. Should the problem persist, remove the plastic
diffuser by gently unscrewing the four nylon screws.
Check that both fluorescent tubes are equally well
seated in the sockets. If any white phosphor coating is
missing on any section of the inside of the glass tube,
the fluorescent tube is defective.
2) OTHER PROBLEMS
Bright light can cause eye and/or skin irritation and
headaches. This is most prevalent in people using light
sensitizing medications, or people with blue or green
eyes, blonde or red hair, fair or sensitive skin. These
problems are usually resolved by gradually increasing
use of the lamp. At the first sign of skin or eye irritation,
stop using the lamp and wait until the irritation
disappears. Problems caused by bright light can usually
be overcome by first sitting 2.5 feet away for 2 minutes
and gradually increasing the light over two weeks, until
you are 17 inches for at least 20 minutes. If you still
experience problems, call us. We will try to help you.
WARNING:
If you have a health problem, if you
have been told you must wear sunglasses in sunlight,
or if you have a history of eye problems, please consult
a health-care professional first. MEDICATIONS
such as lithium, melatonin, tetracycline, St. John’s
Wort, acne creams and creams with retinoic acid and
some chemotherapy drugs can make you very sensitive
to light.
MAINTENANCE
The fluorescent tubes emit less light as they age.
Typically, although they are rated at 20,000 hours, after
2,000 hours of usage they emit 15% less light. A
fluorescent tube may break if severely jarred. The lamp
uses two 36 watt tubes that can be purchased from
Northern Light Technologies. To replace the tubes,
gently remove the 4 plastic diffuser screws, put in the
new tubes and put the diffuser back in place.
