Important
• The appliance is suitable for both normal lighting and a light bath. The light bath is used to counteract the tiredness
and lowered mood which can be caused by a derangement of the “biologic clock”. This derangement can be due to
lack of bright light and the shortening of the days during winter and autumn.
• Before connecting the appliance to the mains socket, check if the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds
with the mains voltage in your home.
• Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Therefore, do not use the appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in
the bathroom or shower, or near a swimming pool).
• Remove the plug from the wall socket after use.
• Take care that children cannot play with the appliance.
• The advisable duration of the lightbath depends on the selected operational distance. (Please refer to section “Light
bath”.)
Preferably have your lightbaths during the day or early in the evening, between 6 o’clock in the morning and 8
o’clock in the evening.
Repeat the lightbath on at least five successive days.
Besides, you can take lightbaths now and then whenever you feel like you need them, or start new courses (of five
successive days or more).
• Use the light of this appliance as additional to the normal light conditions (sunlight, electric light) in your home. Do
not use the appliance in a furthermore dark room.
• It is not advisable to keep staring into the lamps.
• After using the appliance for the first few times, some eye-stress and/or a light headache may occur. Usually these
side-effects disappear soon.
If using specific medicines (i.e. certain antidepressants, other psychotropic drugs) more serious complaints may
happen. First consult your doctor if you take such drugs.
• With eye complaints or hypersensitivity to light it is advisable to contact your doctor first.
• If using the appliance should raise your activity too much, we advise you to reduce the light dose.
If there is no improvement we advise you to consult your doctor.
• If you feel exhausted, distressed or restless and/or suffer from sleeping problems (e.g. insomnia), it is always
advisable to consult your doctor or psychotherapist. Your problem could also be caused by something else.
