Winter Depression
and Sunnex Lo-LIGHT Phototherapy

Light therapy is used during the winter season to treat the negative effect that the shorter days of this season has on mood. For a decade, light therapy has been the most effective treatment for the disorder known as  Seasonal Depression or SAD. 

In contrast with the bright forms of light used for Winter Depression (SAD), Sunnex's patented* Lo-LIGHT therapy lamp is as comfortable and as safe as normal indoor lighting. Sunnex Lo-LIGHT lamps emit a low-intensity (400 lux) of selected visible light wavelengths that duplicates the effect of high intensity white light. *

Sunnex Lo-LIGHT therapy performed equally as well as bright light therapy in a study with Sunnex light conducted on patients with winter depression by the originator of bright light therapy, Dr. A. J. Lewy.

Using the Sunnex Lo-LIGHT for
Winter Depression

NEW RESEARCH

In June 2003, a study with Sunnex's patented Lo-LIGHT light therapy technology was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. This study indicated that light therapy might have a broader application than winter depression.  

Patients suffering from non-seasonal major depression experienced a dramatic hastening and improvement in the effects of an SSRI antidepressant medication when supplemented with Sunnex's low intensity light therapy.*
