We would like to thank you for purchasing the GENIAL LIGHT from LANAFORM®. GENIAL LIGHT is an apparatus for dispensing light exposure. It is an efficient and practical means of allowing you to compensate for the lack of natural light. The GENIAL LIGHT provides a very bright light (approximately 10,000 lux) that simulates natural sunshine. You may use the GENIAL LIGHT while continuing other activities such as reading, writing, using the telephone, or even your professional activities.

The additional light provided by the GENIAL LIGHT during the duller seasons increases your exposure to light. It can have a positive influence on your general mood. Having a GENIAL LIGHT means that you can appreciate the benefits of sunlight even on the dullest of winter days.

ABOUT LIGHT EXPOSURE

Light and its intensity have a major influence on our vital processes. During the seasons of autumn and winter, solar radiation decreases. Moreover symptoms resulting from a lack of light may appear. Furthermore classic artificial lighting in buildings is not sufficient to compensate for this lack of natural light. The consequences of this situation can lead to seasonal depression, a lack of energy, insomnia or melancholy, as well as the wide range of symptoms covered by the general expression “autumn or winter depression”. Light exposure consists of using a light source of high lux value to simulate the natural light of the sun. By undergoing regular exposure to a light source of high lux value over a certain period, the SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) symptoms can diminish or even disappear.

* A lux is a unit of measurement of light. For example, a sunny summer's day corresponds to approximately 50,000 lux, whereas the typical light intensity within a building is only about 500 lux.
