User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to sit in front of it with it shining into your face
Answer:	The light needs to enter your eyes. Generally, a good position is on a desk or table at 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock. You can even position slightly higher than your eyes to mimic the angle of sunlight. Just like the sun, you don't want to stare directly at your happy light, but you do need to be able to see it.
Question:	lux at what distance
Answer:	Intensity falls by the square or radius 20 inches is 4 times the distance of 5 making it 0ne sixteenth weaker Are we to believe this delivers 16000 Lux at 5 inches?? I don’t think so

Question:	How do I use this
Answer:	Generally speaking, place the light no closer than 6 inches and normally about 9-12 inches away for about 30 to 60 minutes per day depending on your needs. It’s best positioned in your peripheral vision in order to receive the light through your eyes without staring directly into it. The more intense the light, the less amount of time it will take to feel the results.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the light come with a timer
Answer:	No, I'm sorry. All of our Light Therapy lamps provide 10,000 lux at 6" in the shortest amount of time. However, you can still get the same benefits from the light if it is father away from you (no more than 24") by using it for a longer amount of time. Feel free to give us a call in Vermont at 1-800-786-6850 or send us an email to [email protected] if there is anything else we can help you with.

The optix filter on this HappyLights is specially designed to filter out the harmful blue light wavelengths that have been linked to age related macular degeneration and other eye conditions - while keeping the beneficial ones which help to regulate our circadian rhythms.

Question:	What is the warranty on this product

Question:	How long do you use usually

The light area on the full size is 9" high and 4.5" wide. The light area on the Touch is 8" high and 5" wide. I hope this helps!

Our bright light products attempt to replicate outdoor light.

The entire sky is lit up by the sun as your entire face will be lit up by the Northern Light Desk Lamp's large light screen. To get light therapy your eyes must fall in the 10,000 Lux area. This makes getting 10,000 Lux with small units very difficult because you need to sit very close and your eyes must be directly in front of the unit.

Sometimes, bigger is better.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a good choice for a vitamin d deficiency
Answer:	The light box provides lumens of brightness for folks with Seasonal Affective Disorder who need more brightness when the days are short. According to their website, Northern Light does not emit UV light, so it would not help with vitamin D. "Your body is designed to get the vitamin D it needs by producing it when your bare skin is exposed to sunlight. The part of the sun's rays that is important is ultraviolet B (UVB)."
Question:	Does this give off a noticeable smell once it heats up
Answer:	No motiveless smell is given off. I use my light at the breakfast table . 15-20 min of morning light!!!! For some get up and let's get the day started light energy . I live in upstate my.
Question:	What is the color temperature of this light in kelvin? I like what I see in the one customer photo but I see amber in the stock photo
Answer:	Color temperature - measured in Kelvin degrees - is a way of describing the color spectrum of a light source. It corresponds, approximately, to the main color a metal rod would glow if heated to a particular temperature. The higher the number, the more the main colors shifts from the red end of the spectrum towards the blue, or even "white hot" end of the spectrum. The lamps in these lights are equivalent to 3500 degrees Kelvin (I originally speculated they were 4100 degrees but I bought a unit and found I was wrong), which would be a neural white rather than cool white (4100 degrees Kelvin or higher) or warm white (2900 degrees Kelvin or lower). I cite these 3 color temperatures, 2900, 3500 and 4100 degrees because the replacement bulbs used in the unit are available in these variations. Each Kelvin degree is exactly the same size as a Celsius (or centigrade) degree used in the metric system except that zero degrees Kelvin is the super cold temperature at which all molecular motion would theoretically stop rather than the temperature at which water freezes. Same scale, just a different starting point - water freezes at about 273 degrees Kelvin. Kelvin temperature is the natural scale used by physicists to make thermodynamic calculations rather than using a scale based on the freezing and boiling points of water or some other arbitrary measure. Photographic films and digital image corrections in programs like Photoshop are also expressed on the Kelvin temperature scale, so sophisticated photographers are also familiar with the concept of color temperature. I hope this helps.
Question:	Is it safe for the skin
Answer:	Yes, research shows that if you use one of these lights that has a UV filter it it safe for the skin. There is a different type of lamp (not this kind) that is used for psoriasis treatment and that doesn't block UV light so that can do the same kind of damage as the sun can. There is a possibility that if you stare at this light for long periods of time it could cause eye damage, but in the product instructions it tells you not to stare at it (although glances are fine). I got that from reading scientific papers/journals. Hope that helps! I LOVE mine, would highly recommend it (I especially like that it is a more yellowish/white hue compared to another one I have that is more blue). This is very calming and feels like you are basking in the sunlight. I bought one for myself and then one for my Mom.
