Intended Use
The LightMat is a tethered device that is based on the principles of light therapy. It can be attached to
several parts of the body for a duration of 20-30 min/day.
The LightMat has 60 combi LED diodes (arranged as 5x12). Each diode can emit two wavelengths:
660 nm (red) and/or 810 nm (near-infrared).
The diodes irradiate the desired body areas with the selected wavelength of light, different intensities,
and frequencies, depending on the user settings.
The LightMat is intended for private use only and not for industrial/commercial use. According to the
Product Safety Act, the LightMat is not a medical product but a wellness product. Its intended use is
for the improvement of general well-being and was not designed to diagnose, cure, alleviate, or treat
any disease, symptoms, or other medical problems.
Please note that in the event of improper use, liability is void.

5. Recommendations for use
Use your LightMat whenever you want it to support you in everyday life. We recommend 1-2
sessions/day with 20-30 minutes per session.
At the beginning, start with low intensity (L0 or L1) and/or shorter duration (10 minutes) and observe
your reaction. You can then gradually increase intensity and duration from session to session
depending on how you feel.
6. Storage and cleaning
Store your LightMat properly when not in use to prevent dust and debris getting inside the device.
Do not fold the LightMat when not in use as this may cause product damage that is not covered by
guarantee.
Graphic 3: Proper storage
Perspiration can develop during the session. We recommend wiping the surfaces after use.
Alternatively, you can use an abrasion-resistant, lint-free cloth for cleaning. You can use water or

10
cleaning alcohol (such as isopropanol 70 %) to moisten the cloth. First spray this onto the cloth and
not directly onto the device. Make sure that the cloth is only damp and not wet.
Never spray cleaner directly on the device. Damage due to the ingress of liquids or solvents will void
the manufacturer’s guarantee. Use of other cleaning products may damage your LightMat.
The LightMat should only be cleaned when it is turned off.
CAUTION: Do not use cleaning products that contain ammonium chloride. These chemicals
may cause destruction of the material.
7. Product durability
The LightMat is designed to be durable under typical use.
The expected safe service life for the device is 50,000 hours.
The device is equipped with parts that are subject to natural wear and tear (e.g., the fabric). The
service life of these parts depends either on their frequency of use or is limited in time. These parts
can possibly be replaced by our service team.
