I. Introduction
Congratulations! You’ve just bought a Luminette®. Welcome to the world of
portable light therapy.
Before using your Luminette®, please read this notice carefully and keep it
somewhere safe. Also, please take the time to familiarise yourself with your new
appliance using Figure 1.
A. The role of light
The human brain uses the light/dark cycle to synchronise internal functions
including mood, appetite, digestion, sleep, libido, etc. These circadian rhythms
oscillate over a period of 24 hours, forming your biological clock.
Melatonin is what is often called the sleep hormone. The brain starts producing it
when the sun sets, in order to encourage us to sleep. But as the as the sun rises and
the light increases, the brain stops producing it. We get up easily, full of energy.
As well as regulating our body clock, light also greatly affects mood, increases
vigilance and improves physical and intellectual performance.
B. Light therapy
In certain situations, our body clock is no longer in phase with the external
environment. The circadian rhythms are out of sync.
This is particularly true in winter when there is insufficient light; some people
develop winter blues. This can also happen in people who go to sleep too early
or too late. Jet lag is another form of a disrupted body clock. Finally, problems
relating to shift work are now recognised as real health problems.
All these problems can be relieved with the correct use of light and dark. When
light is not naturally available, light therapy is the solution which offers the most
advantages for the least unwanted side effects.
C. Applications
• Winter blues
• Fatigue - lack of energy
• Circadian rhythm sleep disorder

9
EN
• Jet lag
• Working antisocial hours
The Luminette is intented to make people feel more energetic, to improve sleeping
patterns, to increase alertness, to improve intellectual performance, and to provide
relief from the winter blues. If you suffer from depression, consult a professional
and do not use the Luminette for self-treatment.
This product is not a medical device.
D. Contraindications
No matter your reason for using Luminette®, we recommend not exceeding the
recommended daily duration of use.
There are very few contraindications.
If you have an eye disease (glaucoma, retinitis or retinopathy, or macular
degeneration), we recommend that you consult a specialist before using the
Luminette®. If you have cataracts, light therapy might be less effective.
For people with a bipolar disorder, the Luminette® could be beneficial if used at
the right time when someone is in a depressive phase. But care should be taken as
there is always the risk of triggering a manic phase. It is therefore recommended to
time a session for midday, when the person is least sensitive to light and therefore
less likely to swing into a manic phase. The same is true for cases of hysteria,
neurosis and psychosis.
It is also not advisable to use the Luminette® whilst driving a vehicle, or using
machinery requiring concentration and a wide field of vision.
E. Possible reactions
Possible adverse reactions to light from this appliance are relatively mild and of a
transient nature. They may include:
• Headache.
• Eyestrain or visual disturbances, intraocular pressure.
• Nausea.
• Agitation, sedation, jumpiness/jitteriness and very rarely hypomania or
mania.
Measures to avoid, minimise or alleviate these adverse reactions:

10
EN
• Always use the appliance in a well-lit room.
• Reduce the light intensity if these reactions occur.
• Stop using the appliance for a few days to make the reactions disappear
and then try again.

II. Use
A. When can I use my Luminette®?
1. To fight the winter blues
You lack energy and motivation, you have difficulty getting up in the morning, you
feel like hibernating, you snack more, your libido is falling? You could be suffering
from winter blues, which results from lower light levels in autumn and winter.
We advise a light therapy session as soon as you wake up in the morning.
2. To fight fatigue and get energy back
Luminette® reproduces the beneficial power of daylight and stimulates special
receptors in the eye to trigger the body’s energising response to light. This helps
you to fight energy dips, to feel more energetic, active and alert, and to improve
your mood.
We advise a light therapy session as soon as you wake up.
3. To treat circadian rhythms sleep disorders
Some sleep problems result from a phase advance or delay in your biological
clock.
In which case, light therapy could be the solution.

12
EN
Your body clock is slow
Do you tend to fall asleep too late and have a hard time getting up in the morning?
We advise a light therapy session as soon as you wake up.
Your body clock is fast
Do you have a hard time staying awake in the evening and do you wake up
too early in the morning? We advise a light therapy session at the end of the
afternoon or the beginning of the evening, two or three hours before the time you
plan to go to bed.
4. To treat jet lag
Jet lag is the result of crossing several time zones very rapidly, usually in a
plane, and results in disturbed body rhythms: insomnia, drowsiness, physical and
intellectual fatigue, mood swings, difficulty concentrating…
Some simple steps and the use of Luminette® can considerably reduce the
symptoms.
• During the flight
Set your watch to the time zone of your destination, drink lots of water and try not
to drink alcohol, coffee or tea.
• When you arrive
If you are travelling east, when you arrive we advise you to avoid sunlight on the first
morning (by wearing blue blocker glasses or high sun protection sunglasses) and to
get as much as you can in the afternoon (by, for example, using your Luminette®)
in order to maintain low levels of melatonin. During the following days, put your
session forward by two hours a day, taking care not to go past your normal bedtime.
If you are travelling west, once you arrive, we advise you to stay awake as long
as it is still light, and to wear your Luminette® at the beginning of the afternoon
(between midday and 3pm). But as soon as it is dark, go to sleep.
5. To optimise shift work
If you work for more than three nights in a row and you have a hard time
staying awake at work and/or on your way home, then we recommend a light
therapy session just before starting work and, if you get drowsy, a second session
during your work break.
We also advise that you talk to your GP.

available on App Store and Google Play Store.
B. How long does a light therapy session last?
The recommended duration of a session depends on the intensity of the light
received by the eye.
Your Luminette® allows you to choose from three different light intensities.
The table below will tell you the recommended duration of use for your
Luminette® depending on the position you choose.
Position (when turning on appliance) Recommended duration of session
(in minutes)
1 45
2 30
3 20
The chosen light intensity is indicated by the 3 light intensity indicators (see figure
1). Once the session time is up, the glasses will blink three times and automatically
turn off.
C. How often do I have to use my Luminette?
Use the Luminette every day at the right time to achieve the desired results.
Except when you try to beat jet-lag, it is advised to use the Luminette at the same
time every day.
D. When do I start to notice improvement ?
Some users start to feel the energising effect after the first use. Others feel it after
1 or 2 weeks of daily use.

14
EN
E. How to charge my Luminette ?
Before using your Luminette® for the first time, we recommend to charge it.
To do so:
• Connect the end of the micro-USB cable to the slot in your Luminette®
(see figure 1) and plug the other end (a standard USB) in the charger.
• Plug the charger into the mains.
• When the device is completely charged (the charge time is 2 hours), unplug
the charger.
You can also charge your Luminette® by connecting it to your computer using the
USB cable supplied.
Charge indicator:
• When your Luminette® is charging, the 3 battery indicators will continually
flash slowly in a cycle.
• When your Luminette® is fully charged, these 3 battery indicators stop
flashing and remain lit.
• If there is an error (battery or circuit failure), one of the indicators flashes
rapidly without interruption.
The device may not be used when it is charging.
Battery life:
The battery life will depend on the intensity you choose. A correctly charged
Luminette® device should lit for at least 10 sessions.
When you turn the device off, between 1 and 3 battery indicators light up to give
you an indication of the remaining battery life (3 indicators = the battery is fully
charged; 2 indicators = the battery is 2/3 charged; 1 indicator = the battery is 1/3
charged; 1 flashing indicator = the battery is insufficiently charged to be able to
complete a session).
We recommend recharging your Luminette® when there is only one indicator
remaining when you turn the device off.
F. Switching on and off
Attention: before your first use, be sure you take off the protective film over the

15
EN
hologram.
Ensure that the battery is charged so that your Luminette® will work for the entire
session chosen. Press the Start-Stop button briefly to turn your Luminette® on
(see figure 1).
To change the intensity of the light, just press the Start-Stop button briefly. The
intensity will change in a cycle: level 1, then level 2, level 3, and back to level 1, etc.
Luminette remains on for a set period, blink three times when the period is over
and automatically shut down. To turn your Luminette® off in the middle of a
session, hold down the On-Off button (for 2 seconds).
G. How to wear my Luminette®
For the best results, you need to wear your Luminette® correctly.
To properly position your Luminette®:
• Set the nosepiece into one of the three slots (see Figure 1). A “click” sound
means that your nosepiece is correctly inserted. To take it out, pull firmly on it.
• Place the padded part of the nosepiece where your nose and forehead
meet. The lower edge of the holographic visor should be located just above
your line of sight (see figure 2) when you look into a mirror. Make sure the
blue light strip sits nicely across your eyes.
Please note that if you wear glasses, the nose bracket of the Luminette® should
be behind your glasses (see figure 3).
Once the session has begun, keep your eyes open. Carry on with whatever you are
doing. Do not look directly into the LEDs.
Find the perfect fitment : Luminette is one-size-fits-all; however, if it needs
tweaking for a tighter or looser fit, bend gently the temples in or out. For an even
more secure fit, insert the supplied white plastic “ear-hooks” at the end of the
temples.
H. How to look after my Luminette®
This device is meant exclusively for personal use. Between each use, store the
device in its protective case in a dry place.
To clean your Luminette®, use a soft cloth moistened with a little clean water.
Be careful to protect the fragile holographic zone; avoid touching it with your

16
EN
fingers. If, despite everything, it gets dirty, clean with cotton wool.
