How to Use
5How to Use – Controls
Touch controls have been added to your HappyLight®Therapy
Lamp so that you can customize your light therapy experience
for maximum comfort and results. For your convenience, your
selections are automatically saved when you turn off your light.
There are three controls:
HappyHue™ Color Selector
Use the left control to choose between two
different hues of white light for your comfort.
Each time you touch the control, your light will
rotate to a different color of white light.1
Brightness
Touch the right control to choose between
three different brightness levels and to find
the level that is comfortable for you.2If you
find the brightest setting uncomfortable,
you can start with a lower setting and work
your way up to the full 10,000 lux over
multiple sessions. Increasing the brightness
will deliver your daily dose of healthy light more
quickly, which results in shorter light therapy sessions.
Countdown Timer
For your convenience, a countdown timer helps you keep track of the
length of your light therapy experience. You can set the countdown
timer while you engage in other activities (e.g., reading a book or
emails), and your light will turn off on its own once your light therapy
session is complete.
One Hour Quick Set
To set the countdown timer for a one-hour
session, quickly touch the countdown timer
control. The illuminated ring will turn on
indicating that a one-hour session has been
set.
1 Color temperature options are warm white (4,000K) and daylight (5,000K).
2 Brightness level options are 5,000 lux, 7,500 lux, and 10,000 lux.

How to Use — continued
Customizing the Length of Your Session
You can customize the length of your light therapy
session in 10 minute increments.
Step 1 - Touch and hold your finger on the center
control for 1 second.
Step 2 - Continue to hold your finger on the control
and select the length of your light therapy session.
Each bar of light represents ten minutes.
Step 3 - Remove your finger when the desired time
has been illuminated. The illuminated bar(s) will
pulse three times to recognize the chosen session
time and indicate that the programming mode has
been completed.
Note: If you touch the control again before the
completion of the three pulses, you will be able to
continue to modify the session time.
Stopping the Countdown Timer
Touch and hold the countdown timer control until the illuminated bar(s) turn(s)
off. If you would also like to turn off the light, press the on/off button at the top
of the lamp to turn the power off completely.

Sit close to your HappyLight®Therapy Lamp 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.
The lamp should be positioned as close as 6
inches but within 24 inches of your face. It is
most effective when it is positioned slightly off-
center (see diagram). Note: Do not look directly
into the lamp.
The light from the lamp 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.
6How to Use – Positioning
Generally speaking, the closer the HappyLight®Therapy Lamp is to you and
the higher the brightness, the less time you will need to use the lamp each
day to experience results.
If you do not experience desired results or are feeling lethargic, you can:
• Use the high brightness level
• Sit closer to the lamp
• Spend more time with the lamp
If you experience edginess or are over-stimulated, you can:
• Use the low brightness level
• Sit farther from the lamp
• Spend less time with the lamp
• Take a break from using the lamp
Please note that each person's response to light will vary, so it is important to
find the brightness, distance and time that are most comfortable for you.
For added customization, you can also adjust the color using the HappyHue™
Color Selector as well as set the countdown timer to your desired session
time.

Device Pretest
To help determine your degree of sensitivity to light, we recommend that you perform
this pretest upon the first use of your HappyLight®Therapy Lamp.
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
has caused any discomfort, stop using the lamp and consult a doctor. If you
have no discomfort, you may consider gradually increasing the brightness of
the light, decreasing your distance from the lamp and increasing your usage
time. When you first start using the lamp, you should monitor the degree of
any discomfort and accordingly adjust the brightness, distance and time.
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.

Establishing a Daily Routine
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.”
We all have a different sensitivity to light, so
it is important to find the brightness, distance
and time that are comfortable for you. We recommend that you use your HappyLight®
Therapy Lamp 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 lamp daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, increase the brightness of the light, sit
closer to the lamp and/or spend more time with the lamp. If you feel a sort of edginess,
as though you have consumed too much coffee, it may be time to turn off the lamp.
* Recommended time is a function of brightness and distance. Individual results may
vary. Also, refer to the warnings at the bottom of the Device Pretest section on the
previous page.
