Frequently Asked Questions - EnergyLight HF3319 PHILIPS

Can I look directly at the appliance when it is switched on?

Yes, you can look into the light every now and then, but we advise you not to look into the light continuously. It is sufficient to sit close to the lamp.

Are there any side effects to using the EnergyLight?

During the first few days of use, some people may experience minor headaches or strained or watery eyes. These symptoms generally disappear within a few days. If not, consult your doctor before you proceed with your light treatment plan.

How often should I use the EnergyLight?

We recommend that you start taking daily sessions for 5 to 7 days in a row, preferably in the morning. Most people start to feel more energetic within 5 days. If you do not notice any improvement, continue for another 7 to 14 days and make the sessions longer (e.g. 3 hours at 50 cm).

Can I use the EnergyLight if I am on medication?

If you are on prescribed medication, we advise you to consult your doctor first. Certain medicines cannot be used in combination with light therapy, and anti-depressants combined with light therapy may result in eye damage.

Can I use the EnergyLight if I have eye problems?

If you have eye problems, you should consult your doctor or ophthalmologist before using the EnergyLight. Some eye conditions may respond unfavourably to light therapy.

Can I use the EnergyLight if I have a skin allergy?

If you are allergic to light or have a diagnosed chronic skin disease, it is safest to consult your doctor before using the EnergyLight or any other form of light therapy.

Can I use the EnergyLight during pregnancy?

Yes, there are no known side effects from using the EnergyLight during pregnancy.

Can I use the EnergyLight if I am allergic to light?

If you are allergic to light, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using the EnergyLight or any other form of light therapy.

Is it harmful to sit in front of a switched-on EnergyLight for a prolonged period of time?

Using the EnergyLight longer than the recommended time is not harmful. It may, however, disturb your sleep pattern, particularly if you have your light baths after 8 p.m.

Do I have to wear any sunscreen lotion?

No, the EnergyLight is not a tanning device. It has a special screen that filters out all UV rays; it is therefore safe for your skin and does not give you a tan.

Introduction

Intended use

This appliance helps to counteract the tiredness, low spirits and lack of energy that many people experience in autumn and winter, when the days are darker and shorter. These symptoms are often referred to as the winter blues. A shortage of light can also have a negative effect on our sleep-wake rhythm and our biological clock.

The medical intended use of the EnergyLight is to treat winter depression (seasonal affective disorder). This treatment should always take place under supervision of a specialist. The EnergyLight is suitable for both light baths and normal lighting.

EnergyLight and the winter blues

The winter blues are characterised by a combination of the following symptoms: tiredness, lack of energy, a need for more sleep, unexpected mood changes, trouble to concentrate and trouble to get out of bed in the morning. Sometimes the winter blues can also cause you to gain weight, as your body craves food that is rich in sugar and carbohydrates, such as pasta and chocolate. The winter blues occur during the darker period of the year, i.e. from September until March. Many people are troubled by one or more symptoms of the winter blues. Many health experts agree that the winter blues can be counteracted by exposure to bright light. 'Bright light' means daylight with a certain intensity. In winter, the light intensity is often much lower than in summer: on a gloomy winter day the light intensity varies between 2,500 and 10,000 lux, whereas this may be as much as 100,000 lux on a bright summer day. Moreover, in winter most people spend a lot of time indoors, either at home or at work, where artificial light often has an intensity of as little as 500 lux and sometimes even less. Together with scientists and medical specialists in the field of winter blues treatment, Philips has developed this special lighting appliance. This appliance allows you to safely get the amount of light you need to make the winter blues disappear. Taking light baths is generally accepted as one of the safest and most effective ways of fighting the winter blues.

EnergyLight and the sleep-wake rhythm

A shortage of light plays a major role in the disruption of our sleep-wake rhythm. Hormones are no longer produced at exactly the right time of day, it becomes harder to sleep soundly throughout the night and the need for short naps during the day increases. An extra dose of light restores our sleep-wake rhythm and improves the quality of our sleep as well as the way we function during the day. The EnergyLight provides this extra dose of light.
