One study conducted in 2005 found sun lamps to be effective for various sleep conditions and mood disorders. Another study in 2015 found natural sunlight lamps to be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy as well as aid in treating acute depression.

Light therapy is a natural treatment used to alleviate symptoms often caused by seasonal affective disorder, jet lag, sleep disorders, and more. It involves using artificial sunlight produced from a light therapy lamp. These lamps produce large amounts of light to effectively mimic sunlight. This causes the user's body to produce the needed hormones that come from contact with sunlight.

Light therapy involves sitting in front of a light therapy box for 20-30 minutes each morning. The artificial sun lamp mimics sunlight and causes the body to produce the needed hormones for a healthy circadian rhythm, sleep patterns, energy levels, and more.

Using a bright light lamp is relatively simple. It's best practice to use the lamp for 20-30 minutes each morning, at the same time. This will help regulate your sleep-wake pattern. You should sit in front of the LED therapy lamp with it facing directly at your face. You can use the lamp while doing activities such as reading, writing, eating, or working on a computer. To get the best results, the light should be at a comfortable distance that is close enough to receive the 10,000 LUX. This distance will vary depending on the lamp however it is usually 16 to 24 inches.

It can take as little as two days or as long as a month depending on the person's lifestyle, eating and exercise habits, amount of sleep, and other health conditions.

Therapeutic light therapy lamps are generally safe to use. Our full spectrum sun lamps feature built-in UV filters making them very safe to use.

A light box therapy lamp is a specialized lamp that mimics natural light. These lamps produce 10,000 LUX, which is the amount of sunlight that gives us the health benefits from the sun.

For best results, use your lamp for 20-30 minutes in the morning after waking. It's best to use your light at the same time each morning to regulate your circadian rhythm. If you cannot sit in front of the lamp at the recommended distance, make sure to add more time to allow for the optimal amount of light to reach your eyes.

One LUX is the equivalent of one lumen. Therefore, 10,000 LUX is 10,000 lumen. This is the same amount of light the sun produces in the afternoon and the amount needed to gain health benefits from sunlight. This is why health professionals recommend 10000 LUX light therapy to be effective.

To be effective, experts recommend light therapy boxes produce 10,000 LUX, have a large surface area for a comfortable sitting distance, and product light at a downward-facing position. The need to face downwards so the light enters the top of the eye, just like the sun does. Another thing they need to have is a UV filter. These filter out harmful ultra-violet radiation that can cause damage to one's eyes and skin.

It's recommended to use a light therapy lamp as early as possible, preferably when you wake up. By design, these lamps mimic sunlight.
