Newsflash: Source: The American Journal of Psychiatry, May 2006: Light therapy is as effective as Fluoextine (Prozac) in treating Winter SAD. What light therapy lamp was used in their study? Day-Lights And were you wondering which lamp was pictured in the Winter Blues article on the November 2007 issue of Consumer Reports magazine? It was the Day-Lights!
Day-Lights are bright light systems designed to help people who suffer from seasonal depression (Seasonal Affective Disorder / SAD) or the winter blues. Day-Lights emit 10,000 lux of light intensity - the dosage recommended by light therapy experts when recommending a light therapy product.
Versatility is a key feature of the Day-Light light therapy lamp. Light-weight and compact, the Day-Light can be used with the adjustable legs, set on a shelf using the built-in stand, or wall-mounted for a pleasant light window effect.
New Product Features: Day-Lights was already the only light therapy product on the market that met all the key performance factors set out by the CET (Center for Environmental Therapeutics) for effective light therapy. So where could it improve? Day-Light now comes with removable and adjustable legs and silver coded buttons for easier and more flexible use.
Benefits:
Symptoms should begin to ease within one to two weeks of regular use.
