To help determine if you have sensitivity to light treatment, we recommend that you
perform this pretest upon first use of this device:
Step1-Turnonthelampandpositionitabout18inchesfromyourface.(Donot
lookdirectlyintothelamp.)
Step 2 - Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If the
light from the lamp has caused any discomfort, stop using the lamp and
consult a doctor. If you have no discomfort, you may consider gradually
decreasing the distance from the lamp and increasing the use time,
which results in more lamp intensity and greater effect. For the initial
several sessions, you should monitor the degree of any discomfort and
accordingly adjust the time used and lamp location.
WARNING:Somepeoplemayexperiencelightsensitivitytofluorescent
lighting. Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort.
WARNING:Certaindrugsmayinducelightsensitivity(e.g.,anti-
depressants)whichmayresultindiscomfortoralevelofhyperactivity.Consult
with your health care provider before using this product.
WARNING: If you have a pre-existing eye condition, contact your
health care provider prior to use.
Device Pretest
Benefits
Verilux HappyLights provide
broad spectrum light therapy
to stimulate all of the eye's
photoreceptors: cones, rods and
the newly discovered melanopsin.
HappyLights offer photopic light
(primarilystimulatingthecones)
andscotopiclight(primarily
stimulatingtherods)toreducethe
size of the pupil, relaxing the eye
for more comfortable light therapy.
Melanopsin helps set the body's
daily cycles and is triggered by
Natural Spectrum Light. Scientists
have demonstrated that bright light
therapy can act like daylight to
restore balance, mood and energy.

Instructions for Use
Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight Compact Energy Lamps 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 make-up or working at your computer or desk.
Selecting a Location
• PlaceyourVeriluxHappyLightCompactEnergyLampsonatableorother
flatsurface.
• Forbestperformance,placetheHappyLightsascloseas6inchesbut
within 24 inches of your face.
WARNING: Do not block vents. Blocking them may cause overheating
of the lamp and increase risk of fire.
CAUTION :
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 top of appliances that radiate heat.
1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few minutes for the
bulb to achieve full brightness.
2. The HappyLight Compact Energy Lamps should be
positioned as close as 6 inches, but within 24 inches
ofyourfaceandshouldbeslightlyoff-center.(See
diagram.)Note: Do not look directly into the lamp.
The light from the HappyLight Compact Energy
Lamps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.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic,
spend more time with the light, sit closer to it or add more lighting devices to
increase the intensity. If you experience edginess or are over stimulated, move
the light farther away or reduce use time.

Your HappyLights®use a bulb manufactured only by Verilux®. To order a

To Replace the Bulb:
1. Unplug the lamp from power outlet. Let the bulb cool down before touching it.
Bulb Removal and Replacement
Operation — continued
Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, in a
rangeof2,500to10,000LUX(ameasurementoflightintensity),helpedtoreversethe
symptoms of “Winter Blues.”
Exposure strategies affect people differently. 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 light intensity. If you feel a sort of edginess,
as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the unit.
* Recommended exposure time is a function of output and distance. Individual results
may vary. Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of page six of this manual.
WARNING:Somepeoplemayexperiencelightsensitivitytofluorescent

Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the
base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. Repeat the bulb
installation process.
Always unplug lamp before performing
bulb replacement or installation.
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tubing will
darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.
With older bulbs, darkening of the tubing 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.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into the socket. Repeat the bulb
installation process. Always unplug lamp before performing
bulb replacement or installation.
