Why is the daylight therapy lamp called "Perfect Day"?

The beurer TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp has three adjustable colour temperatures and therefore enables various applications in order to regulate the day-night rhythm.

The daylight therapy lamp can either be used to imitate the progression of a sunny day or it can be used in a targeted manner in order to support the phases of concentration, therapy and relaxation.

The TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp is based on the concept of "Human Centric Lighting".

In Human Centric Lighting (HCL for short), people and their perception of light are the focus. HCL deals with the psychological, physiological and psychobiological effect of light on people, for example light is the signal transmitter for the internal body clock.

HCL uses alternating colour temperatures and different levels of light intensity to help people concentrate or relax in the best possible way. Different colour temperatures have a different effect on the human eye, for example.

An increasing number of companies are creating the ideal workplace where employees are provided with the best possible light. This can increase motivation and productivity, and reduce errors and absences. The TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp provides all of these benefits at your workplace or your home. It has three colour temperatures: “active”, “therapy” and “relax”.

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

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 passed to the blood only in darkness. This hormone shows your body that it’s time to sleep. That’s why more melatonin is produced in months with less sunshine, 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.

6. 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 20 cm and 45 cm between the user and the device. The daylight therapy lamp is most effective at this distance.

iNote:

If the device has been in storage or recently transported, keep it for at least two hours at room temperature before using it.

Mains connection

IMPORTANT

To prevent possible damage to the device, the daylight therapy lamp must be used only with the mains part described here.

1. Insert the mains part into the mains part connector provided for this purpose on the rear of the daylight therapy lamp and into a suitable mains socket. The mains part must be connected only to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.

2. 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.
• Arrange the mains cable so that no-one will trip over it.

7. Usage

1 Plugging in the mains partInsert the mains part into the mains part connector on the rear of the daylight therapy lamp and into a suitable socket.
2 Switching on the daylight therapy lampTo switch on the daylight therapy lamp, touch the ON/OFF sensor1
3 Enjoying the lightSelect your desired setting by using the touch sensors on the daylight therapy lamp. We recommend the following two applications:Example of application in order to imitate a sunny day
Programme Start of application
relax 6 am
active 10 am
therapy 12 pm
active 2 pm
relax 8 pm
Example of application for optimum light during a work day
Programme Start of application
therapy 6 am
active 8 am
relax 12 pm
active 1 pm
relax 8 pm
4 Therapy setting applicationPosition yourself as close as possible to the daylight therapy lamp (approx. 20 – 45 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.Regardless of the recommendation in point 3, you can use the therapy application at different times. The most effective time of day for treatment is between 6 am and 8 pm.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.Note:You may experience pain in the eyes and headaches after the first few applications. This pain should disappear in further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli.
5 What you need to bear in mindWe recommend a distance of between 20 and 45 cm from the face to the daylight therapy lamp during application.The duration of the application depends on the distance:
	Lux Distance Application duration
	10,000 Approx. 20 cm 1⁄2 hour
	5,000 Approx. 30 cm 1 hour
	2,500 Approx. 45 cm 2 hours
In principle:The closer you are to the light source, the shorter the application time.
6 Enjoying the light over longer periodsRepeat 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 daylight therapy lampTo switch off the daylight therapy lamp, touch the ON/OFF sensor1The light will go out. Unplug the mains part from the mains socket.⚠ IMPORTANTThe daylight therapy lamp remains hot after use. Allow the daylight therapy lamp to cool down sufficiently before putting it away and/or packing it away.
