Energy Lamp is a remarkable product with many features and benefits:

Daylight to your home, office, dorm room or apartment with no dangerous ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths.

• Includesbest-in-classpowersystemwithelectronicballastandpatented Flicker Elimination Technology

to assure no-buzz operation and instant-on, flicker-freeillumination. To help determine if user has sensitivity to light treatment it is recommended that the user perform this pretest upon first use of this device: Step 1 - Place the lamp about 18 inches from your face and turn it on (do not look directly into the lamp). Step 2 - Operate lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If any discomfort is felt, discontinue use of the lamp and consult a doctor. If no discomfort is felt, for subsequent use, the user may want to gradually decrease the distance from the face and increase time used which results in increased lamp intensity for maximum effect. The user should determine if any discomfort is felt after each use and make only incremental changes to the time used and location with each session. Features Device Pretest — continued CAUTION:

Operation Instructions for Use Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight Energy 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, painting or working at your computer or desk.

1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few

minutes for the bulb to achieve full brightness.

2. The HappyLight Energy Lamp should

be positioned as close as 6 inches, but within 24 inches from your face, and should be slightly offset from center (see diagram). Note: Do not look directly into the lamp.

3. Recommend switching on high setting

for morning and low setting in the afternoon. The light from the HappyLight Energy 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. When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you experience edginess, or are over stimulated, move the light further away or reduce usage time. Selecting a Location

Operation — continuedResearchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, inarangeof2,500to10,000LUX(ameasurementoflightintensity),helpedtoreverse the symptoms of “Winter Blues”.Different exposure strategies work for different people. We all have different reactions to our environment. It is important to establish a distance and schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light 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 HappyLight daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you feel a sort of edginess, as though you have drank too much coffee, then it may be time to turn the unit off.* Recommended exposure time is a function of output and distance. Individual results may vary. Minimum Recommended Usage

PROBLEM CHECK SOLUTION

Light Won’t Come On Blackening/Darkening at Ends of Bulb Light Flickers Has the plug come loose? Is the bulb old? Is the bulb connected securely into socket? Is the bulb new? Is the bulb old? Has the plug come loose? Is the bulb connected securely to the socket? Is the lamp connected to a dimmer switch? Insert plug securely into wall outlet. Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb. Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb installation process. Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will darken, but this will fade after a few minutes. With older bulbs, darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life (this doesn’t affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement is recommended. Insert plug securely into wall outlet. Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch. Be sure the bulb is securely seated into the socket, repeat the bulb installation process. DISCONNECT LAMP FROM OUTLET PRIOR TO REPEATING THE BULB INSTALLATION PROCESS. CAUTION: Topreventriskofshockorpersonalinjurywhen cleaning lamp, make sure you have turned off and unplugged the lamp, and allow sufficient time for the bulb to cool.
