The HappyLite 6000 Full Spectrum Light Therapy System by Verilux.

If you suffer from a lack of energy, a feeling of depression and you seem to have lost your motivation, you like 20% of the populations today, may be suffering symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

As the seasons change, daylight and the intensity of it decreases limiting the amount of light available for our bodies to absorb. This shift affects some people drastically, bringing on depression that could be linked to Seasonal Affective Disorder. Occurring among areas located in the more Northern regions of the globe where significant seasonal transition is more heavily experienced, SAD affects nearly 20% of the worlds population - and women seem to be up to 3x more susceptible than men. The key to combatting this sometimes debilitating condition is introducing out bodies to an alternative source of light, enabling our bodies to maintain its natural functions. The HappyLite 6000 by Verilux effectively delivers up to 6000 LUX of full spectrum, UV free sunlight which elevates disposition, while activating your natural mood enhancers and Circadian rhythms. So, start our day with a full dose of warming sun, even when it is absent in the sky. The Verilux HappyLight® 6000 boasts the 2010 ADEX (Awards for Design Excellence) platinum award, which is the largest and most prestigious awards program for product design of furniture, fixtures and finishes.

Living Your Life in the Light

The beauty of this lamp is that it operates as simply as a regular table lamp. Plug it in, switch it on and you are all set to bask in a full days dose of Sunlight in about 2.5 hours a day. Just sit approximately 18 inches away from the lamp, either at a slight angle, or straight on with your eyes open… but do not stare directly into the lamp. The HappyLite 6000 shines with a natural spectrum of 6000 LUX, without exposing you to any harmful UV rays. SAD therapy is a simple and relaxing way of treating your Seasonal Affective Disorder, while giving you the time to catch up on some leisure activities you may have been putting off, such as reading, computing, sewing, painting, handicrafts and needlepoint. Experience improved energy, health and mood naturally without the use of drugs or artificial stimulants with the HappyLite 6000 Full Spectrum Light Therapy System by Verilux.

Getting the Right Dosage of Light

Different people have different reactions to light therapy, and the amount of light exposure you require is unique to your individual physiology. With the HappyLite 6000, approximately 2.5 hours of daily exposure is recommended for your body to absorb the amount of light to assist with SAD symptom reversal. If that sounds like a long time, don't worry, you can break it up into several shorter sessions over the course of the day… but it is important that you remain fairly consistent and do your sunbathing at roughly the same time each day. The best time of the day to engage in light therapy is approximately 30-60 minutes after you wake up.

Sleep phase disorders affect the majority of SAD sufferers making the morning rise difficult, but the use of light therapy upon waking helps in regulating the circadian rhythms melatonin/serotonin levels associated with seasonal disorders; whereas exposure to bright light and therapy light later in the day and evening increase nighttime sleep difficulties.

You will start to see positive result from your light therapy within a few days of exposure to your HappyLite 6000 and the best way to maximize your results is to maintain a set schedule. Commit to a specific time, or times every day to bask in the UV free, full spectrum sunlight of your HappyLite and build up your body's tolerance to the effects of the autumn and winter months. Continue to use the Verilux HappyLite 6000 until you feel a noticeable improvement to your mood and energy levels.

How Light Therapy Works with Your Body

The HappyLite 6000 releases a full spectrum sunlight without the damaging effects harmful UV rays. As your body absorbs this simulated sunlight, it boosts your body's natural mood enhancers, which promotes sharper concentration and an overall happier disposition. Because the fall and winter months reduce the amount and intensity of natural light available for our bodies to absorb, many bodies stop functioning normally and spiral into a depressed, listless state. Light therapy fills the absence of the sun with a simulated alternative, nourishing your body and soul with the full spectrum light our bodies require, which drastically reduces the severity of SAD symptoms. Verilux is a leader in creating products that emulate natural sunlight with their use of full spectrum lighting technology… and the HappyLite 6000 System basks you with invigorating natural 'sunlight' while addressing the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder and the Winter Blues.

The 6000’s Natural Spectrum® light activates the body’s natural mood enhancers, Circadian Rhythms, without exposing you to harmful UV rays. Use the HappyLight 6000 while you’re on the computer or reading the newspaper to experience improved wellbeing and better overall health. Experience improved energy and mood naturally without the use of drugs or artificial stimulants.

Verilux HappyLight Full Spectrum Light Therapy System - HPLD

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:30:31 +0000

Highly Recommended HappyLight Full Spectrum Light Therapy System (HPLD) by Verilux

Suffering from a lack of energy? Feeling depressed with no of motivation in daily tasks? You may have a case of the Winter Blues.

Seasonal affective disorder is a type of depression caused by the seasonal change due to the amount of available sunlight we are exposed to each day. As the fall and winter months approach us, our bodies receive less sunlight, which is the cause of this mood disorder.

Seasons change and as the days get shorter upon our approach of the fall and winter months, the amount of available sunlight becomes significantly reduced. This limits the amount of natural light available for our bodies to absorb, which can lead to the development of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

This occurs in nearly 20% of the population and is fairly common in areas that experience significant seasonal transition. The key is exposing our bodies to an alternative source of light in order to combat the affects of SAD. The HappyLight Full Spectrum Light Therapy System (HPLD) by Verilux effectively delivers up to 10,000 LUX of Natural Spectrum Daylight, providing your body with the sunshine it needs, activating your natural mood enhancers. This brightens your mood, increasing your energy and raising your overall spirits. The HappyLight shines with the maximum light therapy brightness recommended by the National Institute of Health, which allows you to bask in a full days dose of sun in just 30 minutes.

How the HappyLight fits into Your Daily LIfe

Operating just like a standard table lamp, the HPLD simply plugs into a power outlet and turns on with the switch. The Happylight will take a few minutes to generate its full spectrum sunlight, as the bulbs require time to warm up, but as soon as it does, you have to do nothing more that position yourself in front, either directly facing the lamp, or at a slight angle - ensuring that your eyes are open, but not staring directly into the light.

Sad Light Therapy is easy to engage in and requires nothing more of you than a 30 minute commitment per day of sitting in front of its warming glow. Light Therapy provides you with time to pursue light tasks that your busy life may otherwise limit you from doing, such as reading, computing, sewing, painting, handicrafts and needlepoint.

Recommended Dosage of Light Therapy

Because everyone responds differently to light therapy, the necessary level of exposure is unique to each individual's physiology. With the HPLD, 30 minutes a day is a sufficient amount of time for your body to absorb its needed sunlight… but the time of day is also an important factor, and is something you should be consistent with. The most ideal time to engage in light therapy is during the morning, within 30-60 minutes after waking.

Within a few days of exposure to your HappyLight, you should begin to see positive results. To maximize the positive effects of light therapy, it is important to maintain a distance and therapy schedule that fits your comfort levels. It is recommended that you commit to a specific time per day, as consistency is key, but you do not need to sit in front of the lamp for one continuous session, you can split the time into several mini sessions… ensuring that you reach the desired levels of full spectrum sunlight per day. Continue to use the Verilux HappyLight until you feel a noticeable improvement to your mood and energy levels.

How Light Therapy Affects You

The UV free full spectrum sunlight emitted by the HappyLight assists in boosts your body's natural mood enhancers - lifting spirits and sharpening concentration. Because the fall and winter months result in limited sunlight being available for our bodies to absorb, the purpose of light therapy is to replace this light that affects much of the population, drastically reducing the severity of SAD symptoms, raising overall mood and productivity. Verilux is a leader in creating products that emulate natural sunlight with their use of full spectrum lighting technology… and the HappyLight System basks you with invigorating natural 'sunlight' while addressing the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder and the Winter Blues.

Research Findings:

While correct diagnosis of SAD has become more commonplace, the actual treatment of the disorder is an area in which both Doctors and SAD sufferers require more education. Medication can be helpful, but so many physicians are way too quick to prescribe anti-depressants to deal with issues that can ultimately benefit from alternative therapies, by addressing the actual cause of the problem. In the case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, the problem is that the amount of sunlight is significantly reduced, which decreases the amount of light that our body's are able to absorb. Knowing this… doesn't it make more sense to consider light therapy as a probable treatment?

Testimonials

I am a night nurse and have been for 10 years. I have not been happy at times and had no enthusiasm for anything, yet my life is uncomplicated and peaceful compared to others. I don't believe in taking pills unless absolutely necessary and just thought it was something I had to live with. It took about 10 days of using the HappyLight, but one day I just felt like the weight of the world had lifted from my shoulders. Sometimes I feel so happy that tears come to my eyes with gratitude. Thank you so much. I feel like I have my life back. - Kate J, AZ

Our challenged son has been using the HappyLight to lighten the room while reading, doing school work, etc and it really seams to be having a positive effect on him. With his eyes tending to cross he isn't complaining about his eyes being tired and his mood is improved. - Vicki H.

I have fought severe chronic depression for over twenty years and this is the one and only thing I have found that has helped me feel better in the winter or anytime I start to get depressed. I grew up in Ohio/Michigan/Indiana and remember feeling "badly" even at the age of 12, beginning each November and lasting until spring, when the days grew longer and the sun reappeared. I moved to Florida many years ago, but still suffer in the winter, when the weather becomes damp and chilly and overcast for days on end. My therapist suggested I purchase a S.A.D. lamp, and I am so very glad I did! I am grateful I made the decision to purchase this particular lamp because it is large enough to provide light to my head down to my chest, even though the cost was a bit more. My mental well-being is worth any price. As the documentation that came with the lamp stated, I DID begin to feel better in JUST ONE WEEK. Truly amazing. I may not need the lamp in the summer when the weather here is warm and sunny every day, but if I do, I am glad I have it. - Happy, Dunedin, FL

Treat Winter Blues Naturally

Scientific research has shown that the natural rhythms of our bodies are regulated by light. Our exposure to sunlight in the winter, especially in more northern areas, is significantly reduced. For some individuals, this reduction in sunlight exposure can result in a mood disorder commonly known as the Seasonal Affective Disorder which can result in reduced energy, low moods, and disrupted sleep patterns.

Research has shown that light therapy use, even for as little as 15 minutes a day, can significantly reduce these symptoms by providing your body with the required amount of light exposure otherwise lacking during the darker months of the year. The goLITE BLU effectively mimics the natural patterns and spectrum of sunlight that our bodies need most. And best of all, the goLITE BLU provides a natural and affordable method of treating winter blues without using artificial stimulants or drugs.

BlueWave Technology From Philips

Philips has 20 years of experience in producing light boxes and light box technology. Philips offers the most cutting-edge and effective technology for treating winter blues with BlueWave technology. Philips blue light has been shown to be twice as effective as white light in influencing our natural body clocks. With BlueWave technology, the goLITE BLU is not only more effective than white-light light boxes, but it also offers far less intense light, reducing the risk of eyestrain or headaches that can be symptomatic of the glare off more intense white light boxes.

The goLITE BLU Light Therapy System Features:

Bluewave technology, providing 100% of the effective blue light spectrum
Fully programmable settings, adjustable intensity
Updated compact, sleek design
Advanced diffusion optics for soft, even light
Wider treatment field providing more flexibility
Backlit touch screen for easy control
Long lasting eye-safe LEDs
Protective case
Internal rechargeable
Lithium-Ion battery

Philips named International Consumer Electronics Shows Innovations 2009 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the goLITE BLU

More information about SAD:

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a pattern of seasonal depression experienced by otherwise healthy and happy people. Typically, fall and winter bring down feelings not explained by day to day experiences. It is estimated that as many as 20-30% of the population living at latitudes in the northern sections of the US may experience at least some SAD symptoms.

The light box provides a measured amount of bright, color balance light equivalent to standing outdoors at noon on a cloudless day. This has been shown to help regulate the body clock. Photobiologists point out that the light is registered by the eyes through the retina, which then transfers impulses to the hypothalamus in the brain to normalize the body clock function. The light from the box will help synchronize sleep/wake patterns with ones work and life style.

Litebox Litebook Elite Light

Dual Voltage Model (110-240v) works in all Countries.

AC adapter & set of 4 international plug pins included
2 year warranty
60 day money-back guarantee

The Litebook Elite is the new generation of light therapy, the result of years of research and development in hand-held light therapy devices.

This new model features a custom lens and diffusion system which, combined with the high-performance white LEDs that all Litebook products are known for, produces a uniform field of bright yet soothing light. Additional new features for the Elite include a multiple-setting timer (15-30-45-60 minutes) and a long-lasting built-in rechargeable lithium-ION battery with a charge indicator - all of this in a compact, sleek, new design which fits into your lifestyle.

When used everyday, the Litebook Elite will improve your mood, increase your energy level and restore your sleep patterns. Most people notice results within 30 days - often sooner.

How do I use The Litebook?

The Litebook should be positioned approximately 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) from your face, and should be offset at a 30 to 45 degree angle, like sunlight coming in a window.

The Litebook's light beam must be directed at your eyes, and your eyes must be open to achieve benefit.

The Litebook's light beam is very bright - like the sun - in order to provide the benefit you seek. You do not stare at The Litebook - as you do not stare at the sun - although it is not harmful to glance at it occasionally.

Typically, you will recognize when you've received sufficient light - most often by feelings of heightened alertness, energy, and/or mood.

Howlong do I need to use The Litebook?

Light therapy usage varies with the individual. For instance, usage times for winter blues are typically 15-60 minutes per day. Ideal exposure time is the morning, as early as possible. Additional sessions are indicated mid-day and early evening, as required.
