To help determine your degree of sensitivity to light, we recommend that you perform
this pretest upon the first use of your HappyLight

Step 1 - Turn on the lamp and position it about 18 inches from your face. (Do not look
directly into the lamp.)
Step 2 - Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If the light
has caused any discomfort, stop using the lamp and consult a doctor. If you
have no discomfort, you may consider gradually increasing the brightness of
the light, decreasing your distance from the lamp and increasing your usage
time. When you first start using the lamp, you should monitor the degree of
any discomfort and accordingly adjust the brightness, distance and time.
