IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE GROUNDED.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment–grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
anappropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment–grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. This product is for use in a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch (Fig. A). A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. B may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Fig. B,
if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, or lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Plug into properly grounded outlet.
2. Turn the unit on using the on/off
switch. Allow a few minutes at the
start of each session for bulbs to
achieve full illumination.
3. Position yourself facing the
HappyLight®(Figure 1). Light
therapy consists of sitting close to
the Sunshine Simulator with eyes
open. Do not stare directly into the
unit. While staying oriented toward
the light feel free to engage in other
activities such as reading, checking
emails, hobby making & crafting,
sewing, needlepoint, painting, or
working at a computer/desk.
4. Time Exposure Recommendation
for 10,000 Lux treatment:
Usage time depends upon your body
and how it responds to light. Typical
exposure is 30 minutes per day.
The ideal exposure time is in the
morning, soon after waking.You
should experience results within
a week of daily exposure. It is
recommended that you limit your
exposure to the light during the
evening, as it might effect your ability
to fall asleep.
Each person’s sensitivity to light is
different. 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 unit
continuously.You can divide the time
into several mini sessions. Continue
to use the HappyLight®daily until you
feel an improvement in your mood
and activity level.
IMPORTANT: Tinted glasses will
reduce the amount of light reaching
your eyes.

the tube from the socket by pulling
the tube towards the black cushion
pads. (See Figure 8). Repeat
removal of the second bulb.
Step 4: Installing New Bulbs

CARE & CLEANING
Your HappyLight
®
Deluxe Sunshine Supplement Light System is made
from high quality materials that will last for many years with minimum
care.You may want to periodically clean the inside of the lens and
outside parts, 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 the unit to cool.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CLEANERS CONTAINING
ABRASIVES, OR AMMONIA BASED CLEANERS
Cleaning the lens is important for maintaining optimum light output.
Periodically remove the lens (refer to lens removal instructions) and
clean with soft damp cloth. All liquid should be properly wiped away
and dried prior to restoring power.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Light flickers.
If bulb flickers when turned on,
the bulb is not seated fully into the
socket. If this occurs, repeat the
bulb installation process applying
additional force to ensure that the
bulb is inserted fully into the socket.
Does not illuminate.
Make sure that the bulbs are
secured into the sockets.
Sometimes in shipping they
will come loose. Try a different
grounded outlet. In many cases,
this will correct the problem.
IMPORTANT – Grounded outlets
must be used for proper function
of the unit. If both bulbs do not
illuminate when you apply power,
this may indicate an internal
problem. Please call Verilux®
Customer Service at
1-888-544-4865.
See Warranty section.
Only one bulb illuminates.
If only one bulb illuminates, it
is most likely a bad bulb.Try
swapping bulbs and turn on again.
If the same bulb fails to illuminate
in the swapped position, the bulb
needs to be replaced.
Bulb blackening at the ends.
This is a common phenomenon
with most fluorescent tubes as they
age. The black areas don’t affect
operation except to slightly reduce
the amount of light available since
the phosphor in that area is dead.
Bulb replacement is recommended.
NOTICE – When returning a unit,
be aware that damage during
shipping is the responsibility of
the purchaser and will void any
warranty claim. We recommend
that you purchase insurance when
shipping this unit or any parts. Be
sure to return product in original
packaging.
