INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The
SADelite desk lamp II
is designed to bring spring
and summer light levels into your home or office for
years to come. Use the lamp for about
20-30 minutes
each day, at 14-20 inches
, preferably first thing in the
morning,
sitting as shown in the photo
. Please ensure
that the plastic rectangle (UV filter) is in place. The
light needs to shine in your eyes. You do not need to
look directly at the lamp, but you must face the lamp.
Adjust the angle of the lamp-shade downward so that
you can still see both tubes. Keeping regular
sleep/wake-hours and exercising (outdoors when
possible) are also very beneficial.
PROBLEMS
1)
UNIT DOES NOT LIGHT
If the unit does not light after the switch is turned ON,
please check that the plug is well inserted into the
outlet. If this fails, try other outlets. The most common
cause for a unit not lighting is badly inserted tubes or
tubes dislodged during shipping. Check that the tubes
are
both
well seated in the sockets (there should be
no
space whatsoever
between the end of the tube and the
socket). Still no luck, call us. We will try to help you.
2)
OTHER PROBLEMS
Rare side effects from bright light therapy are eye
and/or skin irritation and headaches. This is most
prevalent in people with blue or green eyes, blonde or
red hair, fair or sensitive skin. All 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.
Then start using the lamp 2 minutes a day, trying
different distances until you establish the greatest
degree of comfort. Gradually, over a two week period,
you should be able to lengthen your exposure time
while shortening the distance until you achieve the
original light regimen. 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,
