Selecting the right light intensity
Lumea provides 5 different light intensities. Depending on your skin type
and the light intensity level you find comfortable, you can select the right
light intensity setting.
1
Consult the table below to select the right setting.
2
To adjust the light intensity setting,
press the on/off button one or more
times until you have reached the required setting. The corresponding
intensity light lights up white.
Note: The
device automatically disables when your skin tone is too dark,
to prevent you from developing skin reactions. The integrated skin tone
sensor does not tell you which light intensity setting to use, as Philips
Lumea gives you the freedom to select the light intensity that you find
most convenient.
3
Lumea should never be painful. If you experience discomfort, reduce the
light intensity setting.
4
After recent tanning, perform a skin test to determine the right light
intensity setting.
