hundreds of facilities worldwide who have chosen to
use SunBox® products. Thank you for choosing The
SunBox Company as your bright light source. We truly
value your business.
SunBoxes are the most advanced and the highest
quality bright light boxes on the market and are backed
by a lifetime warranty—the longest in the industry.
Founded in 1985, The SunBox ® Company is the
original manufacturer of high-intensity light boxes. We

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• In the event that your unit is damaged or broken upon delivery immediately report the
problem to us by calling 800-548-3968 (toll-free) or 301-869-5980 so that the problem
can be resolved in a timely fashion.
• Occasionally, fluorescent lamps may break or become loose in shipping. If, upon
receipt, the fixture does not light, see the instructions for replacing the bulb to open the
unit and confirm if the bulb is broken/needs to be reinstalled. If your bulb is broken
please contact us so we can send you a replacement.
• Please save all packing materials for reuse, should you need to return your unit to us.
The SunBox Company cannot be responsible for damage due to insufficient packing.
• To prevent electric shock, do not use this light in any extension cord or other outlet
unless all three prongs of the plug can be inserted fully. Never remove the third
(grounding) prong of this unit’s plug. If you need to convert our 3-prong plug for a 2-
prong outlet, make sure you properly ground the adapter to the wall plate. Otherwise,
the light fixture might flicker while either on or off.
General Guides for Use
Most people use their SunBox light boxes as sources of bright light during the fall and winter months. Some people use them on overcast
days at any time of year, or when their schedules or surroundings do not allow much exposure to natural sunlight. People working night shifts
also use SunBoxes. Most people use light in the morning. If you use light too late in the day, it may disturb sleep.
To use your SunLight Plus™, the unit should be in front of you so that the light shines onto your face and your eyes should be open. Your unit
will reach full brightness within a few minutes of being turned on. It is not necessary to look directly into the light; most people read, eat, work
on computers or watch TV while using their SunBox. Eyeglasses or contacts may be worn, but heavily tinted glasses will reduce the amount
of light received.
Average use at the 10,000 lux distance is roughly 20-30 minutes per day. At 5,000 lux, that would be the equivalent of 40 minutes to 1 hour.
At 2,500 lux, the light might be used for two to three hours. Actual time for a particular individual will vary. It usually takes some
experimentation to find a routine that is right for you.
To receive: 10,000 lux your eyes must be 14” from the unit.
5,000 lux 19”
2,500 lux 29”

SunBox SunLight Plus™Bulb Replacement
ABOUT BULB REPLACEMENT
The fluorescent bulb in your SunBox® SunLight Plus™is guaranteed against failure with normal use for two (2) years, and should still be functional for
much longer. However, since bulbs lose intensity with use and continued use of old fluorescent bulbs can damage the ballast, we recommend that you
change your bulb every 3 years.
If, for any reason, you encounter problems with your light box, contact us at 800-548-3968 or 301-869-5980.
