Day Light DL930 - compact light therapy system with removal legs for optimal positioning. Can be used with the adjustable legs, set on a shelf using the built-in stand, or wall mounted for a pleasant light-window effect. Unit folds to fit in suitcase or briefcase, so you can take it when you leave home.

Day-Lights™ bright light systems provide pleasant ambient lighting, make an exceptional task or reading lamp, may help to improve sleeping patterns for shift workers and long-distance flyers, and may help to ease seasonal mood swings and "winter blues."

High Intensity Setting—Light Therapy

At this setting, the Day-Light emits 10,000 lux light intensity when sitting a distance of 12" from the light. This light level is the recommended dosage for 20-30 minute daily light therapy sessions. Push the switch to the side with three line markings. All three light tubes will be on at this setting. This is twice the level of most competing lamps. They may be advertised and rated at 10,000 lux but either the effective distance is not stated or is 6" in most cases.

Low Intensity Setting – Task or Ambient Lighting

You may prefer the lower intensity setting when using your Day-Light for work or ambient lighting – it’s your choice. However, the lower setting emits a light intensity of 7,000 lux when sitting 12" from the light. As this is still quite bright, we recommend that you either move your Day-Light further away, or angle the light down over your work area when using it

High Intensity Setting—Light Therapy

Low Intensity Setting – Task or Ambient Lighting

Humankind evolved under the outdoor day-night cycle, and it is essential to maintaining normal, healthy physiology. Exposure to sunrise is key to synchronizing our internal body cycles to the external world (so we sleep when it's dark and are alert during the day). Modern industrial society began to tamper with this system, though. The loss of daylight - in dark apartments, in the workplace, on shift work, etc. - creates a state of daylight deprivation, making us vulnerable to depressed mood, sleep problems, fatigue, ability to concentrate, and more. Nature, too, posed a new problem when humans began to migrate north, where winter nights are long and dark.

The importance of light - beyond vision - has been known in all cultures for millennia. Think of the Sun Gods, Christmas Lights. . . . The scientific research effort, though, is recent. It was inspired by findings that light exposure directly affects hormone levels and can reset the body clock either forward or backward. Then, one smart patient - a chemical engineer named Herb Kern - connected his annual mood disorder to the reduced light exposure of winter. He came to the US National Institute of Mental Health and said, "Study me!" He actually co-authored the first journal report on light therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which inspired a set of monumental clinical trials worldwide. Vitalizer

SAD – or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a full-blown, debilitating, mood disorder, but it is predictable for half the year, at the same time of the year.

If you start feeling lethargic during the fall, have trouble waking up and getting out of bed, start wanting heavy or carb-rich foods, it’s a sign that winter doldrums may be setting in. The mood disorder itself usually sets in weeks later – with chronic low mood, inability to do work, loss of pleasure in usual activities, etc. – and is worst in January and February. Usually, everything is fine again by early May.

The millions of people suffering from full-blown, clinical SAD are just the tip of the iceberg. Somewhere toward the bottom are people who are just dragging, not getting their work done, and generally feeling unhappy. These people may be more inclined to say that the wintertime fatigue is more prominent than a change in mood. Carbohydrate cravings are also common.

The time course is the same, though, usually starting in mid- to late fall and resolving by early May. Importantly, people may experience the blues some years, and full Seasonal Affective Disorder other years. This may be due to differences in the weather pattern, but also to current life stresses. If you’re having trouble with employment or family, it’s more likely you’ll develop a major mood disorder that year.

Duration of Session

Using the Day-Light in the morning has been proven to elicit advances in the circadian rhythm phase that have been linked with the effective treatment of SAD. For best results use shortly after waking and before 9 a.m. – a 20-30 minute session is usually sufficient. Sessions of this length are good to begin with, so that you can adjust according to your needs – whether you require shorter or longer sessions.

Caution Against Overuse

It is possible to use the Day-Light too much. If you experience increased irritability, excessive energy, and/or any discomfort consistently during or after use, decrease the length of your sessions, decrease the amount of use, and/or move the light several inches further away from you.
