Regulate your sleep-wake rhythm with bright light lamp

Common fluorescent and incandescent lights do not aid in regulating a body's biorhythm. 

Nowadays many find it difficult to expose themselves to an adequate amount of sunshine. Bright light emits strong light (10,000 Lux), equivalent to the morning sunlight and consisting of a broad spectrum resembling natural sunshine. Bright light brings you the benefits of natural sunshine effectively and easily.

Light therapy, also called phototherapy, has been used to treat seasonal affective disorder since the early 1980s, and it has many benefits. It's easy to use in your own home, it usually doesn't have major side effects, it's generally safe, and it's cost-effective. In fact, light therapy is now considered standard treatment for seasonal affective disorder.

To work well, the light you receive must have the right intensity. Light box intensity is recorded in lux, which is a measure of the amount of light you receive at a specific distance from a light source. Light boxes for light therapy usually produce between 2,500 lux and 10,000 lux. Typical therapy is at 10,000 lux. In contrast, the lighting in an average living room in the evening is less than 100 lux, while a bright sunny day may register 100,000 lux.
