The Optimal Intensity Light Therapy System

This light therapy system delivers the optimal 10,000 lux of therapeutic light to counteract the effects of fatigue, jet lag, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Just 30 minutes in front of this slim box - rather than hours spent with lesser units - provides daylight spectrum light in the amount recommended by the National Institute of Health to block the release of melatonin, a sleep hormone. With less melatonin, people find they have increased energy levels and alertness. The light uses two special 36-watt fluorescent bulbs rated for 10,000 hours, electronic ballast to ensure buzz-free operation, and flicker-elimination technology that prevents electromagnetic fields so it can be placed near computers and video equipment. The unit stands on a tabletop or can be hung on a wall to save space. Plugs into AC. 19 1/2" H x 13 1/2" W x 3 3/4" D. (7 lbs.)
