Instructions for Use
Light therapy consists of sitting close to the HappyLite®Mini 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
minutes for the bulb to achieve full
brightness.
2. The HappyLite®Mini should be
positioned 5-18 inches from your
eyes, and should be slightly offset
from center (see diagram) Note: It is
not necessary to stare directly at
the light.
The light from the HappyLite®Mini 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 the light, or add more
lighting devices to increase the intensity.
If you experience edginess, or are over
stimulated, move the light further away
or reduce usage time.

Optimum time depends upon how your body uniquely responds to light. Typical
recommended usage time is 1 to 6 hours per day. Ideally, the HappyLite®
should be used first thing in the morning. Note: We recommend limiting use
during the evening.
Different exposure strategies work best for different people. 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 HappyLite®daily until you feel an
improvement in your mood and activity level.

Care and Cleaning
Before requesting service on your Verilux®lamp, please read the following:
• Make sure all power connectors, cords, and plugs are inserted fully and
securely.
• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. (See pages 6 and 7)
• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet or try another outlet – one that is
not connected to a dimmer.
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 connected
securely into socket?
Is the bulb new?
Is the bulb old?
Has the plug come
loose?
Is the bulb connected
securely to the socket?
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.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb
installation process.
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.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb
installation process.
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.
