To help determine your degree of sensitivity to light, we recommend that you perform
this pretest upon the first use of your HappyLight
®
Alba Therapy Lamp.
Step 1
- Turn on the lamp and position it about 18 inches from your face (remember,
don’t look directly into the lamp).
Step 2
- Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off (you can
use the countdown timer to set it for 10 minutes to make things easier!). 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 the distance from the lamp, and/or increasing your usage time. When
you first start using the lamp, you should monitor the degree of any discomfort and
accordingly adjust the brightness, HappyHue, distance, and time. Keeping a journal or
log of how you feel when using HappyLight
®
Alba during the first few weeks will help
you find the settings, distance, and time that work best for you!
WARNING:
Certain medications (e.g. antidepressants) and diagnosed mental
health conditions may induce light sensitivity, which may result in discomfort, hyperactivity,
or hypomania. Consult with your healthcare provider before using this product.
How to Use - Device Pretest
If you experience edginess or feel over-stimulated, try some of these options:
• Use a lower brightness level
• Sit farther from the lamp
• Decrease the amount of time you are using the lamp
• Take a break from using the lamp
Don’t forget that you have a few amazing options to customize your experience! Alba’s
HappyHue™ Color Selector lets you adjust the temperature of your light, and the
countdown timer helps you easily set your desired session time!
