INTRODUCTION
ank You for Purchasing the Aurora LightPad
You have just purchased the very best LED light box on the market today! e Aurora
LightPad is a proven light therapy aid in combating symptoms of depression, seasonal
aective disorder, sleep disorders and other mood disorders.
e human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to set the timing on cer-
tain internal functions. ese daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall
out of sync, resulting in an imbalanced body clock.
e Aurora LightPad helps to shi circadian rhythms back to their normal time by delivering
a specically engineered intensity of light to simulate the production of key substances trig-
gered by the brain.

RECOMMENDED USAGE
OF YOUR AURORA LIGHTPAD
How To Use Your Aurora LightPad
We recommend starting light therapy by staying approximately 40 inches from the light for
half an hour in the morning, within the rst hour of waking.
Over the course of a week, you can either 1) Move closer to the light, until you are two feet for
30 minutes or 2) Increase your time spent by building to two hours.
Within 10 days of starting light therapy, you should be waking up earlier and/or feeling an
increase of energy. If not, try adding ve minutes a day to your time spent by the light.
Consult a physician or therapist to determine your best schedule for use. ey will help you
with a daily schedule to aid in restoring a strong circadian rhythm. Since everyone’s circadian
rhythm is unique, Aurora LightPad users may need light at dierent times of day for maxi-
mum eectiveness.
On/O Touch Controls
To power on/ o your Aurora LightPad, hold and press down on the power button for 3 sec-
onds. Once the unit is on, tap the power button to control the intensity of light. ere are 3
levels of light intensity.
e light intensity, once set by the user, will remain stored in the ash memory. If the Aurora
LightPad is powered o and then re-powered on, the light intensity will go back to the last
intensity used.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any major side eects?
e Aurora LightPad is completely safe. Some people have initially experienced anxiety,
headaches or early awakening. Most of these symptoms disappear with a few days and can be
avoided by starting with a reduced session length, or doubling the distance from the light for
the rst week.
Can I use the Aurora LightPad more than once a day?
For most people, using the Aurora LightPad once a day is sucient. It is important to keep
in mind that using the light too late in the evening may adversely aect your sleep.
Do I have to take my glasses o when I use the Aurora LightPad?
No. Reading or prescription glasses and contacts do not reduce the eect of light. However,
you should not use transition lenses, tinted glasses or sunglasses.
Can I get a sunburn from using the light?
No. e Aurora LightPad uses white LED lights that do not produce UV light.
Does the light box interfere with prescription meds that require me to stay out of the sun?
e LED bulbs do not have UV output, so there is no risk of burning or damage to the skin
or eyes. Double check with the pharmacy or your physician to make sure that it is the UV rays
that you are to avoid.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Ophthalmological Concerns
If you suer from an eye disease or have a history of eye diseases in your family, you should
consult your ophthalmologist before using your Aurora LightPad. Also, if you are experiencing
any temporary eye problems, wait until the problems subside before using the Aurora LightPad.
Why not use blue or red light therapy?
If you have an eye condition, eye disease or think you may be at more risk for developing
macular degeneration, you should denitely avoid blue light. Blue light is more energetic than
white light, which has raised concern with ophthalmologists because blue light can damage
the retina and increase the risk for macular degeneration.
Does a light box give me Vitamin D?
No UV light is needed for Vitamin D production, and the Aurora LightPad is UV free. Any
light box you choose should be UV free. is can be a problem for those using a lightbox, but
we recommend talking to your physician about Vitamin D supplements.
Do you bill my insurance company directly?
No. Aer you have purchased your light box, you can submit your receipt, completed insur-
ance form and doctor’s prescription for reimbursement to your insurance company.
Can children use light therapy?
Yes. Although it is uncommon, some children get SAD, and it’s perfectly safe for them to use
light therapy.
