How To Use Our
Phototherapy Lamp

safe light therapy for seasonal affective disorder, SAD, winter depression from Sunnex Biotechnologies
The Sunnex
Lo- LIGHT Therapy Lamp

    To use the patented* Sunnex low-intensity Lo- LIGHT, place it approximately 18-30 inches from the eyes. Room lighting must be dim, but the Sunnex Lo- LIGHT is uniquely designed to be used in conjunction with a computer monitor or while watching television, and provides sufficient light for those who wish to use it for reading. For comfort, the Sunnex Lo- LIGHT is equipped with an electronic ballast to eliminate flickering from fluorescent bulbs which occurs when used with a magnetic ballast.

    Like other light therapy lamps, the Sunnex
    Lo- LIGHT is found to work best for most people when used in the morning, as near to awakening as reasonable. We recommend starting with close to one hour exposure, and after a couple of weeks when the beneficial effects of the light therapy are realized, reducing the daily exposure time. Most people find they can shorten the time to 30-40 minutes, without a reduction in effect. However, the time when light therapy is most effective can vary with the individual. While most people respond best to morning treatment, others respond better to evening light exposure (between 8-9 pm). Some people respond to either morning or evening exposure.

    At Sunnex Biotechnologies we would be happy to give you some general suggestions about timing the use of your Sunnex Lo- LIGHT lamp, though modes of use vary from person to person and ideally should be established in consultation with a therapist.
