Operation

®

HappyLight

®

Deluxe Sunshine Supplement Light System on a table or other flat surface.

• For best performance, place the HappyLight as close as 9 inches, but within

24 inches from your face.

Note: Avoid placing this lamp in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating products such as heaters. Do not place the lamp on the top of appliances that radiate heat.

Instructions for Use

Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight Deluxe with your eyes open.

While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing, needlepoint, applying make-up, painting or working at your computer or desk.

1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few seconds for the bulb to achieve full brightness.

2. The HappyLight Deluxe should be positioned as close as 9 inches, but within 24 inches from your face, and slightly offset from center (see diagram). Note: Do not

stare directly at the light.

The light from the

HappyLight Deluxe must be directed at your eyes; therefore, your eyes must be open to achieve the full benefit. Note: Tinted glasses

reduce the amount of light reaching your eyes.

When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to the light, or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you experience edginess, or are over stimulated, move the light further away or reduce usage time.

Recommended Daily Use

Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, in a range of 2,500 to 10,000 LUX (a measurement of light intensity), helped to reverse the symptoms of the “Winter Blues”.

Different exposure strategies work for different people. We all have different reactions to our environment. It is important to establish a distance and schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light regularly and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini sessions. Continue to use the HappyLight

®

daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.

When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you feel a sort of edginess, as though you have drank too much coffee, then it may be time to turn the unit off.

*10,000 LUX at 9". Recommended exposure time is a function of output and distance. Individual results may vary.

Bulb Removal and Replacement

Step 1: Opening the Lens Cover

Place the HappyLight on its back on a large flat surface. Press down gently on the center of the lens cover (Fig. 1). This releases the locking tabs located under the grey handles. Open the lens cover by grasping the gray handles with your hands. Remove the lens and gently place it next to the unit with the logo face up.

Step 2: Opening the Bulb Clips

Step 3: Removing Bulbs

Gently lift the fluorescent tube up and out of the clip holder. Grasp the tube by the white plastic base with the Verilux

® logo on it and remove the tube from the socket by pulling the tube towards the black cushion pads (Fig. 4). Repeat removal of the second bulb.

Step 4: Installing New Bulbs

Ensure the HappyLight

®

is on its back on a large flat surface. Hold the fluorescent tubes by the white plastic base, not the glass. Ensure the Verilux logo is facing up. Line up the pins on the base of the fluorescent tube with the holes in the socket. Gently push the bulb into the socket until it snaps securely in place. Repeat on other side.

Troubleshooting

Before requesting service on your Verilux

®

lamp, please read the following:

• Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted fully and securely.

• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket (see pages 8 and 9).

• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet or try another outlet – one that is not connected to a dimmer.

PROBLEM

Light Won’t

Come On

Blackening/Darkening at Ends of Bulb

Light Flickers

CHECK

Has the plug come loose?

Is the bulb old?

SOLUTION

Insert plug securely into wall outlet.

Is the bulb connected securely into socket?

Is the bulb new?

Is the bulb old?

Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.

Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb installation process.

Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.

With older bulbs, darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life (this doesn’t affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement is recommended.

Insert plug securely into wall outlet.

Has the plug come loose?

Is the bulb connected securely to the socket?

Is the lamp connected to a dimmer switch?

Be sure the bulb is securely seated into the socket, repeat the bulb installation process. CAUTION: DISCONNECT LAMP FROM OUTLET

PRIOR TO REPEATING THE BULB INSTALLATION PROCESS.

Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch.

Care and Cleaning

Your Verilux lamp is made from high quality materials that will last for many years with a minimum of care.

Clean only with a soft dry cloth – DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR CLEANERS

CONTAINING ABRASIVES OR AMMONIA.

WARNING: To prevent risk of shock or personal injury when cleaning the lamp, make sure you have turned off and unplugged the lamp, and have allowed sufficient time for the bulb to cool.
