As the days get shorter leading up to winter, we get less time under the bright sun which is necessary to keep our circadian cycles and health in balance. Using full spectrum bright light therapy lamps first thing in the morning help your brain and body wake up, elevating your mood and increasing your energy for the upcoming day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarger in form and with an upgraded, more polished design than our smaller Happymood™ full spectrum light for SAD, the new SOLAR™ Light Therapy Lamp offers similar functions (5 level brightness, 3 color temperatures, incremental timer built-in) for easy SAD therapy every day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 level adjustable brightness up to 10,000 lux\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 Color Temperatures (3000K-6500K)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdjustable timer up to 90 minutes in 15-minute increments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Light Therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is Bright Light Therapy?\u003cbr\u003eIn short, bright light therapy is the use of specialized light therapy devices emitting very bright white visible light to help eradicate SAD (winter blues) or to help set your circadian rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright light therapy emits a powerful (and bright!) white light in a color temperature between 5000-6500K, which is consistent with the sun's color temperature, or light appearance at noon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese units typically emit 10,000 lux (a measure of the perceived brightness of light - very bright!) of white\/blue, more energetic wavelengths, intended to trigger a circadian response in our bodies. We need bright white light that contains those blue light wavelengths to wake up and let our body\/brain “set the clock\" for a new day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"feature-header align-left cc-fade-in-up cc-animate-init feature-header--visible -in cc-animate-complete\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte inherit-colors large-text align-left cc-fade-in-up cc-animate-init -in cc-animate-complete\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common use of light therapy is to treat SAD, a type of seasonal depression during the fall and winter caused by a lack of sunshine. But you don't need to suffer from a clinical diagnosis of SAD to enjoy the stimulating benefits of bright light therapy: think of bright white light as a vitamin to be taken each day for optimal health and wellness! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, since getting bright white light first thing every day is the most essential way to reset our daily clock and get energized for the day, you may want to consider supplementing actual morning sunlight by using a bright light therapy unit- especially on those darker, cloudier mornings!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight therapy is best used in the morning. While eating breakfast, getting ready, or sitting at your desk, place the light pad about 24 inches away from you, and to your side. The goal is for light to reach your eyes, without looking directly at the pad - it’s quite bright! Let it reach your open eyes peripherally. It's key that your eyes remain open for the duration of your session for light therapy to take proper effect.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIf you wear blue light filtering glasses for screen\/computer usage, we recommend taking them off during your light session for maximum benefit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry for 10 minutes at first to see how you respond; you should begin to feel a sense of alertness. If you start feeling jittery, that’s an indication to place the pad a little further away and\/or to use it for less time. You’ll learn what your body needs over time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"feature-header h2 align-left cc-fade-in-up cc-animate-init feature-header--visible -in cc-animate-complete\"\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte align-left cc-fade-in-up cc-animate-init -in cc-animate-complete\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout enough of the bright white light exposure needed to stimulate the hypothalamus, a part of the brain linked to the body's internal clock controlling the sleep-wake schedule (among many other things), the body may increase its production of the sleep hormone melatonin while decreasing the production of serotonin, the feel-good brain chemical that helps regulate mood. Light therapy lamps help mimic the approximate brightness and color temperature of sunlight during the day to help to reset the body's internal clock, improve energy, and uplift mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur eyes detect the presence of light through specialized non-visual forming photoreceptors containing the photopigment melanopsin. Melanopsin is most reactive to shortwave blue light, which, if activated by its presence, sends off a signal to our brain's hypothalamus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrightness: 5-level adjustable up to 10,000 lux at 12“\u003cbr\u003eFull spectrum UV-free LED light\u003cbr\u003eA built-in timer (15 min, 30min, 60min, 90 min) so you can set and forget it\u003cbr\u003eDimensions of illuminated area: 8''H x 11.75“ W x 1.75“D\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable stand height: 10'' H (Shortest) 15.5'' (Tallest)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have macular degeneration, vision sensitivity, or are particularly sensitive to lighting in general, you'll find fluorescent-based light therapy, such as our medical-grade Aurora® full spectrum light therapy system, to be more comfortable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisclaimers:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis product is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent disease.
