Duration

The advisable duration of the light exposure depends on the distance at which the appliance is used: -- approx. 15 minutes at a distance of 13in/33cm

-- approx. 30 minutes at a distance of 20in/50cm -- approx. 45 minutes at a distance of 30in/75cm -- approx. 60 minutes at a distance of 40in/100cm

Note: Usage duration varies depending on your needs. Most people obtain best results using the briteLITE energy light about 30 minutes per session at a distance of about 20-30in/50-75cm.

5Position yourself near the appliance and place the lamp at a 45° angle so you can comfortably look in the direction of the light (Fig. 5).

Make sure there is a distance of at least 13in/33cm between your face and the briteLITE energy light.

-- You do not need to sit right in front of the appliance.

-- For the best results, place the briteLITE energy light on a surface at the same level as your midriff (stomach area), e.g. place it on the table at which you are sitting.

-- You do not have to take the whole light exposure without interruption. If it suits your schedule better, you can interrupt your light exposure and continue later.

-- You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV, exercise or perform other tasks while you use your briteLITE energy light.

Note: Do not stare into the light. It is sufficient that the light reaches your eyes indirectly from the side. -- Use your briteLITE energy light in a well-lit room to minimize eye strain.

6Look into the light every now and then.

Do not look into the light continuously. You can simply engage in other activities such as reading, writing, or handicraft while taking a light exposure and look into the light every now and then.

7Repeat the light exposures until you feel better.

Generally, improvements occur within 1 week. After then, you can reduce your light time to maintain your desired results.

8You may repeat the light exposure as often as you like during the dark period of the year. Take a light exposure for at least 5 successive days.

9After use, remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
