Safety
Read instructions for use.
If the unit is damaged, please contact Lumie before use.
Keep away from water and damp.
For indoor use only.
The unit gets warm when the light is on, so make sure that it is not
covered.
Use only the mains power adaptor supplied.
Keep the mains power adaptor and cable away from heated surfaces. If
either are damaged, they should be replaced with an approved Lumie
product.
This appliance does not have a ON/OFF switch. To power down or
reset, remove the mains power adaptor from the wall socket. You should
therefore ensure the socket is easily accessible.
Only to be used by adults and children over 7 years old. Children using the
light, or playing near it, should be supervised.
Caution – do not attempt to service or modify any part of the unit.
If the unit has been stored outside the recommended operating
temperature range (5 °C to 35 °C), allow it to stand for at least 1 hour
before applying power to avoid condensation or overheating.
The light source contained in this luminaire shall only be replaced by
Lumie or an authorised Lumie distributor.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Electrostatic discharge may affect the working of this product. If this
occurs, simply switch off for at least 10 seconds and the unit will reset.
Task uses a touch sensor to control the light. In rare situations, external
conditions may trigger the touch sensor. This can occasionally cause the
light to vary in intensity or turn on or off. If this happens, use the touch
interface to set the light to the previous level. Task will continue to operate
normally and remains safe to use.
Disposal
Do not throw out the mains power adaptor or the unit with normal
domestic waste. Take them to an official recycling point to be disposed
of responsibly.

art projects.

Lighting control
The light is controlled by the touch interface.
Slide your finger across the touch interface.
When using the touch interface, the letters light up
individually to indicate brightness.
Slide right past the ‘e’ for full brightness.
Slide left past the ‘l’ to turn off.
Or lift your finger anywhere in between.
Now, the whole ‘lumie’ interface lights up if the light is
on (at any brightness) and is off if the light is off.
Task lighting
Task is a highly adjustable task light with a small
footprint for use in your office, workshop or studio.
Daylight-simulating LEDs provide excellent contrast for
reading and finely detailed work and can help reduce
eye-strain. Viewing artwork and creative projects
under natural conditions will bring out the true colours
and show your designs at their best.

Task for bright light therapy
Sunlight is a natural mood-booster, influencing body
chemistry (e.g. melatonin and serotonin levels). If
you’re not getting enough exposure to daylight, bright
light therapy with Task is the next best thing, putting
you in a better mood, boosting energy and helping
you to feel more alert. It can also help relieve the
symptoms of winter blues.
Make sure the light is at maximum brightness.
Position Task at arm's length (about 50 cm) with the
light angled towards your face.

can use Task whilst reading, working on your laptop,
crafting etc.
How often?
For wellbeing support
Your body’s natural rhythms, which influence mood,
sleep and general wellbeing, are governed by how
much light (natural and artificial) you’re exposed to.
Task mimics the colour and intensity of natural light,
so if you’re indoors, a bright light therapy session
works quickly to improve mood, energy, focus and
performance. Used daily, Task can encourage a more
regular sleep/wake pattern, making it easier to get to
sleep and wake up feeling more refreshed.
For winter blues
Look out for early signs of winter blues in Sept/Oct
and if you start feeling more tired, anxious or irritable,
start using Task. As spring comes around, you can cut
back on your bright light sessions. If symptoms return,
simply use Task again for a few days.
How often?

10 ENG
When?
If you're using Task to help with the winter blues,
bright light in the morning is most effective so try that
first. For some people, early evening light exposure is
beneficial.
I find it difficult to get going in the morning
Switch on Task as soon as you can. If you don't have
much time in the morning, then you should aim for a
top-up or full session in the afternoon.
I feel sleepy or fall asleep too early
Use Task in the late afternoon/early evening. It's best
to avoid bright light too close to bedtime - within
about three hours - as you may find it difficult to get
to sleep.
When?

ENG 11
How long?
With the light at full brightness, you're getting the
maximum benefit so position Task at arm's length
(approx. 50 cm) and start with 30 minutes a day
(1 500 lux). You may find this is enough but if you don’t
notice much of an effect, increase your exposure each
day until you find something that works for you.
If you're more comfortable with Task positioned further
away, then less light will reach your eyes and you'll
need to use it for longer.
Similarly, if you're using Task at reduced brightness,
then less light will reach your eyes and you'll need to
use it for longer.
There's no harm in using the light for longer than
suggested. You can get your bright light therapy all in
one go or use Task on-and-off throughout the day for
a cumulative effect.
If you find your eyes ache slightly, try using it further
away, reduce the brightness or switch off for a while.
Whether you’re using Task for winter blues, or for
general wellbeing, once you’ve found a pattern that’s
right for you try to use it around the same time every
day.
