SunTouch Plus is powered by Sky Effect™ Technology
Think about how good you feel outside under a cloudless blue sky. Feel
that radiance indoors with Nature Bright’s SunTouch Plus! By harnessing
the healing powers of the blue sky, this prescription strength light
delivers an optimal amount of blue light rated at 17,000 degrees Kelvin,
and 10,000 Lux. Our clinically-proven Sky Eect™ Technology, used in
the SunTouch Plus and other Nature Bright products, is cool, safe, and
comfortable. Its bright light is sure to deliver a therapeutic sense of well-
being in any setting.
Clinical studies have shown that by recalibrating Circadian rhythm in
your body – from its temperature and hormone secretion to its regular
sleep pattern – through light therapy, mood and energy are revived
naturally in as little as a few days. The SunTouch Plus is an ideal solution
for those suering from mood swings during and after pregnancy, a loss
of energy due to age, or a low mood as a result of Seasonal Aective
Disorder. So re-calibrate your body’s internal clock and reclaim your
energy with the SunTouch Plus.
SunTouch Plus Negative Ionizer
Every SunTouch Plus comes with a built-in Negative Ionizer, which emits
odorless, tasteless, microscopic negative ions. These ions are found
naturally in the air, particularly after thunderstorms, near a waterfall, or
in a forest, and research has shown that they can lift your spirits. Use the
Sky Eect™ light and the Negative Ionizer simultaneously, and feel like
you’re sitting on the beach on a sunny day.
Get your nature back with Nature Bright’s SunTouch Plus.

Unit Inspection
Read all safety guidelines before using your SunTouch Plus light.
These safety instructions must be observed in order to avoid potential
hazards that could result in personal injury or damage.
Never use damaged or worn cords or plugs. The use of damaged or worn
power cords or plugs could result in electric shock, burns, or re. Do not
place heavy objects on top of the cord. When unplugging the unit, grasp
the plug directly to avoid damage to the cord. Never pull on the power
cord in an attempt to remove a plug from the socket.
Unplug the unit before servicing to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
SunTouch Plus is designed to allow the front cover to be removed and the
bulbs to be changed safely. Any other disassembly will void the warranty.
The lamps get extremely hot. Allow ve minutes for the lamps to cool
before handling.
To avoid damage to the light box, do not allow any liquid to contact any
part of the light.

Placing the Unit
For the best results, place your SunTouch Plus near you at eye level so
its light bathes your face. Many people use SunTouch Plus on a counter
or table. You can use the SunTouch Plus as you read, eat, work at the
computer, watch TV, or put on make up. Use in a well-lit room to avoid
eyestrain. Turn towards the light.
Operating Instructions
Powering Your SunTouch Plus
The SunTouch Plus has been designed with a six and a half foot cord that
gives you freedom to move the unit to the most preferred position.
After plugging the cord into a standard electrical outlet, turn the unit
on. The SunTouch Plus is turned on and o by a switch located on the
right hand side of the unit. The SunTouch Plus comes with two switches.
One switch controls the lamp, the other switch controls the ionizer. Each
switch works independently giving you more options. Once you are
nished with your session, you can turn o the light and still enjoy the
benets of the ionizer throughout the day.
Optimizing Your Results
Most people feel a dierence right away and may obtain measurable
results in as little as four days. You have to sit fairly close to have an
eective session. For optimal
results sit twelve (12) to sixteen
(16) inches away. If you have the
SunTouch Plus with the added
benet of ionization, you can sit
up to eighteen inches away and
achieve similar results. For best
results, allow the light to bathe
your face.
07

Session Time – First use
Leading researchers recommend thirty minutes of 10,000 LUX (default
settings) everyday. All SunTouch Plus powered lights provide 10,000 LUX,
but at varying distances.
Reducing Session Time
After a week or two of using the SunTouch Plus, once your desired results
are reached, you can reduce your session time from 30 minutes to 15
minutes per session.
Replacing Bulbs
The bulbs inside the light box usually do not burn out, but rather
decrease in intensity overtime. We recommend that you replace your
bulbs every two years. Replacement bulbs can be ordered online or by
calling Nature Bright’s Service Department.
Post Purchase Service
In the event that your SunTouch Plus does not function properly or one of
the bulbs stops working, please call Nature Bright’s Service Department
at 1-800-622-0231 or visit our website at
www.naturebright.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to take o my glasses when I use the unit?
Not usually, but if you have transitional lenses that darken when you go
outside, you will have to remove them during your session.
2) Do I need to clean the ionizer?
The ionizer doesn’t require internal cleaning. With repeated use you may
get some build up around the vent area. This is easily wiped away with a
dust cloth.
08

3) Are there any major side eects?
No. SunTouch Plus is a safe product.
4) Can I get sunburn from using SunTouch Plus?
No. While typical uorescent bulbs produce UV light, SunTouch Plus
eliminates almost all measurable UV light.
5) What are the suggested duration times?
Duration times vary according to your needs. Most people will obtain
best results using the light in the morning. Sessions can be as short
as fteen minutes. A majority of people achieve good results with 30
minutes of usage. You may want to experiment to nd your own personal
optimal duration.
6) Should I use SunTouch Plus every day?
You should use it daily, especially during the winter months. Many
people nd that they don’t need the light during the summer. Those
working long hours indoors may nd the SunTouch Plus to be eective
year round. About 50% of the time, those who need to use morning light
nd that they also benet from evening light. If this describes you, make
sure to sit about 12 inches further away from your light in the evening to
help prevent conicting signals with morning light.
Note:
Minor side eects may include the following: irritability, increase
sensation of glare, eye irritation and dryness, headache, nausea, and
dryness of skin. Should you encounter any of these side eects, please
consult physician. Not for use in people with bipolar aective disorder.
