Selecting a Location
• Place your Verilux®HappyLight®6000 Sunshine Supplement Light System
on a table or other flat surface.

Note: Avoid placing this lamp in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or
close to heat-radiating products such as heaters. Do not place the lamp on the
top of appliances that radiate heat.
Operation
Instructions for Use
Light therapy consists of sitting close to the HappyLight®6000 with your eyes
open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage in other
activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing, needlepoint,
applying makeup, painting, or working at your computer or desk.
1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few seconds for the bulb to achieve full
brightness.
2. The HappyLight®6000 should be positioned about 12-24 inches from your
face, and could be slightly offset from center (see diagram) Note: Do not
stare directly at the light.
3. Recommend switching on
high setting for morning
and low setting in the
afternoon.
The HappyLight®6000’s light
must be directed at your
eyes; therefore, your eyes
must be open to achieve
the full benefit. Note: Tinted
glasses reduce the amount
of light reaching your eyes.

Operation continued
Optimum time depends upon how your body uniquely responds to light. Typical
recommended usage time is 1 to 6 hours per day. Ideally, the HappyLight®
should be used first thing in the morning. Note: We recommend limiting use
during the evening as it may interfere with sleep.
Different exposure strategies work for different people. We all have different
reactions to our environment. It is important to establish a distance and
schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light regularly
and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front of the
lamp continuously.You can divide the time into several mini sessions. Continue
to use the HappyLight®daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity
level.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit
closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you
feel a sort of edginess, as though you have drank too much coffee, then it may
be time to turn the unit off.

• Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted fully and
securely.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CHECK SOLUTION
Light won’t
come on
Blackening/darkening
at ends of bulb
Light flickers
Has the plug come
loose?
Is the bulb old?
Is the bulb new?
Is the bulb old?
Has the plug come
loose?
Is the lamp connected
to a dimmer switch?
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the
base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will
darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.
With older bulbs darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life. (This
doesn't affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available
since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement
is recommended.
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch.
WARNING: To prevent risk of shock or personal injury when
cleaning lamp, make sure you have turned off and unplugged the
lamp, and allow sufficient time for the bulb to cool.
