Manchester Light Bright LED 10 000 Lux Portable SAD Light Another great

With Light Intensity Settings (SAD Light )

Winter blues are a fact of life for millions of people in Britain, especially during those dark, dank months between November and February.

If the cold months get you down and you long for summer climes, it might not be heat you are yearning for, but light.

Lack of daylight can result in overeating, depression and loss of energy. In its extreme form it's even got a name - Sad or Seasonal Affective Disorder

The only cure is a regular dose of strong artificial daylight.

Recently Recognised

Scientists say that it's the short days and long nights of winter that create a biochemical imbalance in the part of the brain that regulates many body functions, including sleep, moods and energy levels.

"Light is vital to our well-being. As the days get shorter the body's clock can go out of sync with its rhythm of day and night.

"This can result in very depressing symptoms," says Professor Chris Thompson, head of the mental health group at the Royal South Hants Hospital in Southampton.

It is comparatively recently that Sad has been recognised as a medical condition. Before that sufferers were told to pull themselves together.

Now research has shown that high levels of light in the early part of the day offers benefits to sufferers.

"It is a miracle. After a month you feel fighting fit whatever the weather," said one user.

How It Works:

Light means life. Many of the processes of life are influenced by light & its intensity. Many of us experience the effects of light deprivation as being unpleasant affecting our quality of life.

Light therapy offers a convenient and effective way of making up for the lack of light, without medication. LITE-PAD PLUS uses very bright lights (approx 5,000 lux, 8,000 lux or 10,000 lux) to simulate natural sunlight, while eliminating the dangerous UV rays contained in sunlight. Lux is the measurement for the brightness of the light. For example: a sunny summer day has about 50,000 lux, the regular light inside a building only 500 lux.

Light therapy must be administered regularly over a lengthy period (on a daily basis for at least one week) and should be consumed in addition to natural sunlight. It is recommended to avoid looking straight into the light.

The additional light you take in from the LITE-PAD PLUS in the darkest part of the year increases the amount of light to which you are exposed, with positive effects on your mood & general well-being.

Treat yourself to light therapy whenever you feel like it! Remember that happy feeling you have in the summer, with the suns energy flowing through your body? You can now re-create it at home in the dark days of the winter.
