"Why Sunnex Lo-LIGHT Low-Intensity Phototherapy 
is Better than Bright Light for Seasonal Depression"

Light therapy lamps have been used successfully for the treatment of SAD, seasonal depression, mood disorders, and sleep disorders since the mid 1980s. 

But bright light therapy does not suit everyone. In some people, the glare from high-intensity "Bright Light" therapy lamps used for seasonal depression causes headaches and eyestrain. 

A potential risk of eye damage by "Bright Light" therapy when used for seasonal depression or other conditions has also led eye safety experts to recommend that all persons be screened by an ophthalmologist before starting "Bright Light" therapy.  These experts recommend that persons with existing retinal damage avoid bright light therapy or be monitored regularly.

In contrast, the patented* low-intensity light therapy technology used in the Sunnex Lo-LIGHT phototherapy lamp is a safe and comfortable alternative to bright-light" therapy for seasonal depression as well as non-seasonal disorders. Sunnex Lo-LIGHT phototherapy lamps are only as bright as the lighting in a well-lit office, eliminating the eye hazard associated with bright light therapy. (*Cdn. patent # 1,334,399 / *U.S. patent # 5,447,527).

The Sunnex Lo-LIGHT low-intensity lamp is a comfortable product that can be used by all, yet is as effective as a high-intensity "Bright-Light" therapy lamp that is ten to twenty times brighter.
