How to Use
Sit close to your HappyLight
®
Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp
with your eyes open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to
engage in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing,
needlepoint, applying make-up or working at your computer or desk.
The lamp could be positioned as close as 6 inches but within 24 inches of your
face. It is most effective when it is positioned slightly off-center. (See diagram.)
Note:
Do not look directly into the lamp.
The light from the lamp must be directed at your eyes; therefore, your eyes
must be open to achieve the full benefit.
Note: Tinted glasses reduce the amount
of light reaching your eyes.

Generally speaking, the closer the HappyLight
®
Duo 2-in-1 Light Therapy and
Task Desk Lamp is to you and the higher the brightness, the less time you will
need to use the lamp each day to experience results.
If you do not experience desired results or are feeling lethargic, you can:
• Use the high brightness level
• Sit closer to the lamp
• Spend more time with the lamp
If you experience edginess or are over-stimulated, you can:
• Use the low brightness level
• Sit farther from the lamp
• Spend less time with the lamp
• Take a break from using the lamp
Please note that each person's response to light will vary, so it is important to
find the settings, distance and time that are most comfortable for you.

Establishing a Daily Routine
Researchers at the National Institute of Health
demonstrated that white light, in a range of
2,500 to 10,000 lux (a measurement of light
intensity), helped to reverse the symptoms of
“Winter Blues.”
We all have a different sensitivity to light, so it is
important to find the settings, distance and time
that are comfortable for you. We recommend that you use your HappyLight
®
Duo 2-in-
1 Light Therapy and Task Desk Lamp regularly and at about the same time each day.
It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into
several mini-sessions. Continue to use the lamp daily to feel an improvement in your
mood and activity level.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, increase the brightness of the light, sit
closer to the lamp and/or spend more time with the lamp. If you feel a sort of edginess,
as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the lamp.
* Recommended time is a function of brightness and distance. Individual results may
vary . Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the Device Pretest section on the
