Device Pretest
Features
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 45cm/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 has caused any discomfort, stop using it 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 your initial 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. Prior to using, follow
the "Device Pretest" directions, shown above.
WARNING: Certain medications (e.g., anti-depressants) may induce
light sensitivity 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.

Minimum Recommended Program
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 it or 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 or reduce
the intensity of the light.
* Recommended exposure time is a function of output and distance. Individual
results may vary. Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the Device Pretest
section of this manual.
WARNING: Certain medications (e.g., anti-depressants) and diagnosed
mental health conditions may induce light sensitivity, which may result in
discomfort, hyperactivity, or hypomania. Consult with your healthcare provider
before using this product.
WARNING: If you have a pre-existing eye condition, or are at risk for
developing Age Related Macular Degeneration or other eye conditions consult with
your healthcare provider before using this product.

The HappyLight should be positioned as
close as 4 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 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 adjust the settings to
increase the intensity. If you experience
edginess or are over-stimulated, move
the light farther away or reduce session times.
WARNING: Do not block vents. Vents are neccessary for proper
function of the lamp. Blocking them may cause the lamp to overheat.
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.
Operation
Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight 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.

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.
