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.
Device Pretest
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 can be triggered by
Natural Spectrum Light. Scientists
have demonstrated that bright light
therapy can act like daylight to
restore balance, mood and energy.
For more information and research on light therapy, visit www.verilux.com.

Instructions for Use
Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight Energy 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.
Selecting a Location
• Place your Verilux HappyLight Energy Lamp on a table or other flat surface
above, at or below eye level depending on your desired result.
• For best performance, place the HappyLight as close as 15cm/six inches
but within 60cm/24 inches of your face.
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.
WARNING: This product contains magnets. If you have a pacemaker,
implantable defibrillator, insulin pump, any other type of electro-mechanical
device, or brain shunts that contain magnets, keep sufficient distance (about
six inches) between the device and the lamp.
1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few minutes for the bulb to
achieve full brightness.
2. The HappyLight Energy Lamp should be positioned as close as
15cm/six inches, but within 60cm/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 Energy 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.
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.
Operation

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 or sit closer
to it. 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 below.
WARNING: Some people may experience light sensitivity to fluorescent
lighting. Discontinue use if you experience any discomfort. Follow directions
for pretest on page five prior to use.
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.
Operation — continued

minimum care. You may want to periodically clean the lamp using a mild non-
abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. When cleaning, make sure you have turned off
and unplugged the unit and allowed sufficient time for it to cool.
WARNING: To prevent risk of shock or personal injury when cleaning
lamp, make sure you have turned off and unplugged the lamp and allowed
sufficient time for the bulb to cool.
CAUTION :
Do not use solvents or cleaners containing abrasives or
ammonia.

Before requesting service on your Verilux lamp, please:
• Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted fully and securely.
• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. (See page eight.)
• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet, or try another outlet – one that is not
connected to a dimmer.

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.
