USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing the BRIGHT MINDS Therapy Lamp. We’re
excited for you to experience the many benets that can come from
using an indoor light box.
Known for their eectiveness in helping to alleviate winter blues or
seasonal aective disorder (SAD), light therapy lamps have also been
shown in research to help with focus, mood, energy and to promote
healthier sleep.
BRIGHT MINDS Therapy Lamp got its name from the BRIGHT MINDS
Program that's oered at Amen Clinics. BRIGHT MINDS is an acronym
that identies specic areas for improving your brain. Through brain
imaging work, I learned that in order to keep your brain healthy you
must prevent or treat the 11 BRIGHT MINDS risk factors that steal
your mind:
Bis for Blood Flow
R is for Retirement and Aging
I is for Inammation
Gis for Genetics
His for Head Trauma
Tis for Toxins
Mis for Mental Health
I is for Immunity and Infections
Nis for Neurohormones
Dis for Diabesity
Sis for Sleep
In my clinical experience, some people respond better to white or blue
light, which is why I created one device that has both. Try one setting
for a few days, then switch to the other to see what is best for you.
Here’s to a better, brighter you!

IV. USING THE LAMP
The BRIGHT MINDS Therapy Lamp has two color modes: white and blue. Push
the color mode button and choose white or blue light.
1 White Mode
• Sit no closer than arm’s length from the device. You can go about your normal
activities while using the lamp.
• Use the lamp as often as you want. However, the treatment is more eective if
you use the lamp for at least 7 successive days.
• The most eective time of day for the treatment is between 6 am and 8 pm and
it is recommend that you use the device for no more than 30 minutes to 1 hour
per day.
• Do not look directly into the light since that can damage the retina.
• Begin with shorter durations and increase to longer sessions.
Note: Eye pain and headaches may result after using the lamp for the rst time.
These will likely go away in future sessions, as the nervous system will become
accustomed to the new stimulation.
2 Blue Mode
Blue light is the most ecient light, requiring just 200 lux to achieve an eect
similar to 10000 lux of white light. Simply place the appliance at arm’s length (at
approximately 50-75 cm/20-30 in. from your eyes) within your eld of vision so
that the light bathes your face.
For the best results, place the appliance at the same level as your midri
(stomach area), e.g. place it on the table at which you are sitting. For more visual
comfort, make sure the area around the appliance is well-lit.
Note: Do not stare directly into the lamp. It is sucient that the blue light reaches
your eyes indirectly.
Enjoying Light Over Longer Periods
Repeat the use of your lamp in the darker months for at least 7 successive days,
or even longer, depending on your individual needs. If possible, conduct the
treatment in the morning hours.
