“Mini Daylight” is intended to boost peoples energy levels, to adjust circadian rhythms and make people feel

How does the SAD Daylight work?
In autumn and winter, the seasons with the least sunlight because of shorter days, the lack of sunlight and a
problem with certain brain chemicals stops the hypothalamus working properly. The lack of light is thought to
affect the production of the hormone melatonin (that makes you sleepy).
SAD Daylight uses very bright lights to simulate the sunlight during the darker autumn and winter months, whilst
eliminating the dangerous UV rays contained in sunlight. The additional light helps your brain to reduce
heo production of melatonin to help the symptoms of SAD or winter depression.

the outdoor environment.
• Shut off the central forced air heating/ air-conditioning system, if you have one.
• Collect material needed to clean up broken tube: stiff paper or cardboard, sticky tape, damp paper towels or
disposable wet wipes.
During Cleanup:
• Vacuuming is not recommended unless broken glass remains after all other cleanup steps have been taken.
Vacuuming could spread mercury-containing powder or mercury vapor.
• Be thorough in collecting broken glass and visible powder.
• Place cleanup materials in a sealable container.
After Cleanup:
• Promptly place all bulb debris and cleanup materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area until
materials can be disposed of properly. Avoid leaving any bulb fragments or cleanup
