Why use a daylight therapy lamp?

When the hours of daylight are noticeably shorter in autumn and people increasingly stay inside in winter, the effects of a lack of light may become apparent. This is often described as "winter depression". The symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways:

• Imbalance - Increased need for sleep
• Low mood - Loss of appetite
• Lack of energy and listlessness - Difficulty concentrating
  Generally feeling under the weather

The cause of these symptoms is the fact that light, particularly sunlight, is essential for life and has a direct effect upon the human body. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of melatonin, which is only passed to the blood in darkness. This hormone shows your body that it is time to sleep. Therefore, in months with less sunshine more melatonin is produced, making it difficult to get up in the mornings because your body functions are powered down. Use the daylight therapy lamp immediately after waking up (i.e. as early as possible) to end the production of melatonin and to brighten your mood.

Lack of light also prevents the production of the happy hormone serotonin, which is said to significantly influence our well-being. The application of light thus yields quantitative changes to hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain that have an effect on our activity levels, our feelings and our well-being. To compensate for such a hormonal imbalance, daylight therapy lamps can create a suitable replacement for natural sunlight.

In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used as compensation for the effects of a lack of light. Daylight therapy lamps simulate daylight over 10,000 lux. This light can influence the human body and be used as a treatment or as a preventative measure. Normal electric light, however, is not sufficient to influence the hormonal balance. This is because in a well-lit office, the light intensity is just 500 lux, for example.

2. Rear of the housing
3. Stand
4. ON/OFF button
5. Mains part connection
6. Storage slot for stand
7. Holder for using the stand

5. Initial use

Take the device out of the plastic wrapping. Check the device for damage or faults. If you notice any damage or faults on the device, do not use it and contact Customer Services or your supplier.

Setting up the device

Place the device on an even surface. The position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 10cm and 30~cm between the user and the device. The lamp is most effective at this distance.

Mains connection

• To prevent possible damage to the device, the daylight therapy lamp must only be used with the mains part described here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the rear of the daylight therapy lamp. The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• Plug the mains part into a suitable socket.
• After using the daylight therapy lamp, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the daylight therapy lamp.

iNote:

• Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the set-up area.
• Ensure that the mains part plug is completely inserted in the mains socket.
• Arrange the mains cable so that no-one will trip over it.

6. Operation

1	Remove the stand from the storage slot on the rear of the device.
2	Clip the stand into one of the two holders [7] on the rear. The orientation/angle of the TL 20 changes depending on where and in which direction you attach the stand. The stand can be inserted so that the bend faces up or down. You can therefore position the daylight therapy lamp at two different angles. The stand can be attached on both the long and short sides, which enables you to use the TL 20 both horizontally and vertically.
3 Switching on the lamp ▶ Press the ON/OFF button.
4 Enjoying the light Position yourself as close as possible to the lamp, at a distance of between 10 cm and 30 cm. You can continue to go about your day-to-day activities during application, including reading, writing, making telephone calls, etc. · Keep looking directly into the light for a short period of time as it is absorbed and shows an effect via the eyes/retina. · Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as you like. However, the treatment is most effective if you carry out the light therapy for at least 7 successive days according to the prescribed times. · The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6 am and 8 pm and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day. · However, do not look directly into the light for the entire application period as this may cause over-stimulation of the retina. · Start with a brief application period and gradually increase the time over the course of a week. · Do not leave the daylight therapy lamp unsupervised if it is being used. Note: After the first few applications you may experience side effects such as pain in the eyes and head or nausea. This should disappear in further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli. Refrain from using the daylight therapy lamp for a few days until the side effects have subsided, then try to use the device again.
5 Things to consider We recommend a distance of between 10 and 30 cm from the face to the lamp during application. The duration of the application depends on the distance:
Lux Distance Application duration
10,000 approx. 10 cm 0.5 hours
5,000 approx. 20 cm 1 hour
2,500 approx. 30 cm 2 hours
In principle: The closer you are to the light source, the shorter the application time.
6 Enjoying the light over longer periods Repeat application on at least 7 consecutive days during darker periods of the year, or for longer depending on your individual needs. Application should take place during the mornings where possible.
7 Switching off the lamp ▶ Press the ON/OFF button. The LEDs switch off. Unplug the mains part from the mains socket. IMPORTANT! The lamp remains warm after use. Allow the lamp to cool down sufficiently before putting it away and/or packing it away warm.

7. Cleaning and maintaining the device

The device should be cleaned from time to time.

Important

• Ensure that no water gets inside the device.

The device must be switched off, disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool down each time before cleaning.

• Do not clean the device in a dishwasher.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never submerge the device in water.

Do not touch the device with wet hands when it is plugged in and do not allow water to spray on the device. Only operate the device if it is completely dry.

8. Storage

If you are not going to use the device for an extended period of time, disconnect it and store it in a dry place, out of the reach of children.
