Safety
Read instructions for use.
If the unit is damaged, 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.
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.
Lumie Halo uses a touch sensor as the main user interface to control the
lights. In rare situations, external conditions may trigger the touch sensor. This
occasionally leads to the lights varying in intensity or turning on or off, as if
the user is activating the ON/OFF button. If this happens, simply touch the
slider or the on /off button to set the lights to the previous level. Halo 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.
WARNING!
Check with your doctor before using this product if any of the following apply:
You have a pre-existing eye problem, are at risk of developing Age-Related
Macular Degeneration or have had eye surgery;
You have been advised to avoid bright light or are taking medication that
may cause photosensitivity;
You have been diagnosed with depression or other mood/sleep disorders.
This is especially important if you are also taking medication for this, since
light therapy can also affect your mood.

Introduction
Lumie Halo is a multifunctional light therapy solution,
designed to look good and optimise your wellbeing
am-to-pm, all year round.
The main light has adjustable brightness and colour
temperature, from bright white to help with daytime
focus through to warmer, non-alerting tones for
evening relaxation.
The backlight replicates the natural glow of dusk and
dawn and allows you to create the perfect ambient
lighting.

Introduction
Main light in Day Mode
Day Mode utilises both the warm-white and cool-white
LEDs, allowing you to vary the colour temperature and
brightness to suit your needs. At maximum brightness,
Halo delivers 10000 lux at 20 cm, simulating the
natural light of the spring sun. Choose Day Mode to
feel more energised, boost your mood, performance,
alertness and productivity or to help treat the
symptoms of winter blues.
Adjustable brightness
Adjustable colour temperature: approx. 3000 K to 5000 K
Main light in Evening Mode
Evening Mode uses only warm-white LEDs with a lower
colour temperature, creating a more natural home
setting after sundown. Even at full brightness, Halo in
Evening Mode emits a low-blue quality of light that’s
non-alerting, making it ideal for reading, socialising or
simply relaxing before bedtime.
Adjustable brightness
Fixed colour temperature: approx. 3000 K
Backlight
The backlight provides further options for ambient
lighting and can be used on its own or in addition to
the main light. Warmer LEDs shine onto the copper
reflector to produce a soft glow around the main light.

Fixed brightness
Fixed colour temperature: approx. 2700 K

Day Mode for bright light
therapy
Sunlight is a natural mood-booster, influencing body
chemistry (e.g. melatonin and serotonin levels), making
you feel more awake and positive. If you’re not getting
enough exposure to daylight, Lumie Halo is the next
best thing and is available all year round.
Make sure the main light is in Day Mode and at
maximum brightness.
Position Halo at arm’s length (about 50 cm) with the
light shining towards your face.
Although you don’t need to stare at it, the light must
reach your eyes to have any effect. This means you
can use Halo whilst working on your laptop, eating
lunch, watching TV, reading, etc.
How often?
For wellbeing support
When you’re indoors, use Halo in Day Mode to
simulate sunlight. A bright light session works quickly
and naturally to improve mood, energy, focus and
performance whilst daily use can encourage a more
regular sleep-wake pattern.

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 Halo in Day Mode. As spring comes around,
you can cut back on your bright light sessions. If
symptoms return, simply use Halo again for a few
days.
Acta Psychiatry Scand. 2001 Apr: 103(4):267-7 4.
When?
If you’re using Halo in Day Mode 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 Halo in Day Mode 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 Halo in Day Mode 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.

ENG 11
How long?
In Day Mode, with the light at full brightness, you’re
getting the maximum benefit so position Halo at arm’s
length (approx. 50 cm) and start with 30 minutes.
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.
Distance (cm) Light received
(lux)
Typical exposure
(minutes)
20 10000 30
32 5000 30–60
50 2500 60–120
If you’re more comfortable with Halo positioned
further away, then less light will reach your eyes and
you’ll need to use it for longer.
Similarly, if you’re using Day Mode 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 Halo on-and-off throughout the day for
a cumulative effect.
Avoid using Day Mode at full brightness close to
bedtime. Reduce the brightness or, better still, switch
Day Mode for bright light therapy

12 ENG
to Evening Mode with its less stimulating light tones.
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 Lumie Halo 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.
Maintenance
Clean only with a dry or lightly moistened cloth.
Always unplug the unit first and let it cool if necessary.
Replacement mains power adaptors are available
from Lumie.
LED lifetime
The LEDs in this product have a typical life of 30000
hours. Although it’s unlikely, it’s possible for individual
LEDs to fail. This will make only a negligible difference
to light output and you can continue to use the
product.
Warranty
This unit is covered under warranty against any
manufacturing defect for 3 years from the date of
purchase. This is in addition to your statutory rights.
Maintenance

ENG 13
If you need to return the product for servicing, use
the original packaging (including internal packing)

prevented from moving in transit and damaging the
unit. If the unit is received damaged, through misuse
