Why use a daylight therapy lamp?
Intended Use
The intended use of the Light Therapy Lamp is to provide light source to offer a kind of “Light therapy” function in
which the artificial light environment would provide end user with sense of relax or help them to ease depression,
or treat seasonal affective disorder. Many people regularly experience lack of energy throughout the day, this
product can be used to boost them and let them feel more energetic by suppressing sleep hormone inside body.
When the hours of daylight are noticeably decreased in autumn and people increasingly stay inside, the effects
of a lack of light may cumulate. This is often described as „winter depression“. The symptoms can present them-
selves in a number of ways:
• Imbalance • Need for more sleep
• Subdued 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 released into the blood
only in darkness. This hormone tells the body when it is time to sleep. In the months when there is less sunlight,
therefore, production of melatonin increases. This makes it harder to get up in the morning, since the body‘s
functions are shut down. If you use the daylight therapy lamp immediately after waking up in the morning—thus
as early as possible—you can end the production of melatonin so that your mood can take positive turn. In ad-
dition, light deficiency also hinders production of the happiness hormone serotonin, which decisively affects our
well-being. So application of light involves quantitative changes in hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain,
which can affect our level of activity, our feelings and our well-being. Light can help reverse this hormone imbal-
ance. To compensate for such a hormonal imbalance, the daylight therapy lamp can create a suitable replace-
ment for natural sunlight.
In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used to compensate for the effects of a lack of light. Daylight
therapy lamps simulate daylight over 10,000 lux. The light can influence the human body and be used as a
treatment or as a preventative measure. Normal electric light is not sufficient to influence the hormonal balance.
Because in a well-lit office the illuminance level amounts to just 500 lux.

• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it.
6. Operation
1Insert the mains part into the connector.
2Switch on the light
Press the ON/OFF button.
3LED display/timer
The daylight therapy lamp TL 70 indicates your current treatment time with the aid of 5 LEDs.
The treatment time can be set at the following 5 levels.
The timer function is not activated when the light is switched on for the first time. The light now shines
until it is switched off again or a treatment time is set (timer = 0 min).
In order to use the timer, set the desired level from 1 to 5 using the „+/-“ buttons. On level 1, a treatment
time of 15 minutes is set. The other levels are as follows:
The light switches off automatically after this treatment time. If you wish to deactivate the timer function,
you can press the „-“ button until the LEDs go out.
4Brightness adjustment
The daylight therapy lamp TL 70 has 10 brightness levels. The desired brightness level can be set using
the „+/-“
buttons on the side – this level should be set so that it is pleasant for the eye during the treatment.
When the device is switched off, the last level that was set is saved. When the device is next switched
on, it restarts with the saved brightness level.

5Enjoying the light
Sit as close as possible to the lamp, between 10 cm and 40 cm. You can go about your normal activities
while using it. You can read, write, make telephone calls, etc.
• Every so often, briefly look directly into the light, since the effect results from the eyes/ retina receiving
the light.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as you want. However, the treatment is at its most effective if
you carry out the light therapy according to the prescribed time period of at least 7 successive days.
• The most effective time of day for the treatment is between 6am and 8pm
and we recommend that it is used for 2 hours per day.
• Do not look directly into the light the whole time you are using it, however, since that could lead to
overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with shorter periods of illumination, which you increase over the course of a week.
Note:
Eye aches and headaches may arise after the first times using the lamp. These will go
away in later sessions, as the nervous system will become accustomed to the new stimulation.
6Important instructions
When using the lamp, maintain the recommended distance of 10 - 40 cm between your face and the
lamp. The duration of the application depends on the distance:
Distance Duration
Up to 10 cm ½ hour/day
Up to 25 cm 1 hour/day
Up to 40 cm 2 hours/day
Basically, the closer you are to the source of light, the less time you should use it.
7Enjoying light over longer periods
Repeat your use of the lamp in the dark seasons for at least 7 successive days, or even longer, depen-
ding on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the treatment in the morning hours.
8Switching off the lamp
