Philips Lumea will automatically use the highest suggested intensity,
indicated by a continuous lighting led indicator.
Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find
most convenient. If you want to set the light intensity setting manually,
please consult the table below. This table shows settings that for the
majority of users provides a comfortable, but still effective setting.

Using Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort,
reduce the light intensity setting. You can do this by using the up-down
buttons.
Note: The device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark
(skin type VI), to prevent you from developing skin reactions. The ‘ready
to flash’ light will blink orange to indicate if the skin tone is too dark.
6
After moving to another body area or recent tanning, perform a skin test
to determine the right light intensity setting. To re-activate the setting
advice feature, press the magnifying glass symbol.
Note: Since body areas might differ in skin color, you need to select the
right setting for each body area separately.
