Thank you for selecting the Luma 10. It is a quality product with state of the art features,

and will give many years of service and exciting adventures as you learn to use it to

influence your mood, mental state, and energy level.

Pulsating light and/or sound patterns have been used for thousands of

years in almost all cultures to evoke emotional responses, from exciting a crowd to

assisting in meditation to encouraging sleep. The techniques are part of folk

knowledge, and science is just beginning to find out why they work. So as you

begin to use light and sound stimulation you are embarking on a voyage on

discovery and exploration.

Use of these technologies is completely safe for most people, and no side effects

are known, but they are not for everyone — please read the warning on this page

carefully:

Battery and AC Adapter information

The system comes with 4AA replaceable batteries. Their life span is good for about 30 hours

of play. This also depends on how bright you run the glasses (the glasses draw the most current).

A low battery voltage signal is built in the Luma 10 (the 3 digit display decimal points will blink) to

alert you that the batteries are getting low on power. When the lights start to blink, you have about

an hour left to run.

The Luma 10 will also run on rechargeable batteries, NiCad for example. These you will

need to recharge externally, theLuma 10 is not set up to recharge batteries.

Note:Note:

Note: Do not use Lithium batteries with the Luma 10.

If using the Luma 10 at the same location all the time, you can use it with an AC Adapter. The

unit takes a 6V 300 ma AC Adapter with the positive (+) in the center of a 2.1mm plug. You can

purchase one from us or the local electronic store. Avoid purchasing a variable voltage AC

Adapter, it gives too many opportunities for set up errors.

the 3 digit display is showing. For example:

The SESSION LED indicator corresponds with the session designation (r01 for

example) on the 3 digit display. For example, the Luma 10 comes up with session r01

(relaxation session category) by default.

The TIME LED indicator corresponds to the time remaining in a session that is

playing. Press the SELECT key during a session to see the remaining session time.

The FREQ (short for FREQUENCY) LED indicator corresponds to the Frequency

General L/S sessions information

The sessions in the Luma 10 combine the rhythm, pitch and musical effect of sound with

kaleidoscopic effects from light stimulation to encourage relaxation and mood changes.

The effects can vary from energizing thru meditative to sleep-inducing depending on the

type of stimulation, just as music can produce any of those effects.

The session names and descriptions relate the effect that was intended for the

session — different persons will experience different actual effects, and the effect may

vary from day to day.

The titles give a general guide to the type of effect that can be expected. Some of

the sessions use fast-changing microloop sequences to give special effects.

The sessions are grouped by different general objectives, and the running time and

primary tone selection are given for each session.

In the study of mental states through the electroencephalogram, four different

states or types of waveforms have been characterized by neurologists:

Beta 13-40+Hertz Awake and alert

Alpha 8-12 Hertz Relaxed

Theta 3-7 Hertz Reverie, Imagery, near sleep

Delta 0.5-2 Hertz Sleep

A session’s general aim is to help you reach one of those states. Although different

frequency combinations in any one session will work differently for many individuals the

above are the four general categories and the frequency range which they fall into.

Adjusting session time

The duration of the Luma 10 sessions can be adjusted from 1/2 to twice the default

time. A session may be run at 1/2 to 2 (in steps of 1/4) times its designed time.

Stereo hook up: connect the stereo patch cord from the unit to a music source (tape, CD

player) and listen to your favorite music while enjoying the session.

The choice of music is personal, there is no one better than other. You can also listen to

motivational tapes and meditation material. As long as you enjoy, it will only make the

experience more fullfiling. Avoid music with a strong beat, it will conflict with the beat from the

Luma 10.

The Kundalini in Yoga tradition is a life force believed to reside at the base of the spine, which when

aroused triggers intelligence and spiritual insight. This session assists in creating a deeply relaxed

state while stimulating the crown chakra and is similar to sessions that have been used to encourage

a “no time” state.

About binaural beats

When the ears hear tones at different frequencies but close in pitch, a mechanism in

the sound processing machinery of the brain detects the difference between the frequencies

and perceives “binaural beats”, stimulation at the difference between the frequencies. The

effect is most pronounced at low frequency differences and low carrier frequencies.

About dual binaural beats

In dual binaural beats, each ear hears a mixture of two tones. This results in chords,

and makes the sound richer and fuller. In addition to the chord effect, there is a “beat” effect

- when closely spaced tones at two different frequencies are mixed, the result is a “beat”

phenomenon - the resulting sound is the average frequency pulsed at the difference

frequency. If the two frequencies are far apart, they will be perceived as two distinct tones.

As they get closer together, the beat phenomenon becomes more pronounced. To experi-

ence the dbb tone effect try the sample on the following page.

You need not be an expert on dbb tones in order to enjoy the sessions. dbb tones are

powerful and entertaining. The PHOTOSONIX products are the first relaxation tools on the

marketplace utilizing dbb tones in various session designs. With the Luma 10 you have one

of the best opportunities to enjoy the power of this feature.

Pitch Range

The Luma10 pitch range is 16Hz to 960Hz, 6 octaves of the just scale,

7 notes/octave.

Frequency Range

The stimulation frequency range is from 1/4 hertz to 42 hertz. Frequencies go in steps of 1/4

hertz through 2 hertz, 1/2 hertz through 10 hertz, 1 hertz through 20 hertz and 2 hertz

through 42 hertz. The Schumann resonance at 7.8 hertz is also included.
