Why use a daylight therapy lamp?
When the hours of daylight are noticeably decreased in autumn and people increasingly stay inside, the effects
of a lack of light may cumulate. This is often described as "winter depression". The symptoms can present them-
selves in a number of ways.
Imbalance
Low mood
Lack of energy and listlessness
Generally feeling under the weather
The cause of these symptoms is the fact that light, particularly sunlight, is essential for life and has a direct effect
upon the human body. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of melatonin, which is only passed to the blood
in darkness. This hormone shows your body that it's time to sleep. Therefore in months with less sunshine more
melatonin is produced, making it difficult to get up in the mornings because your body functions are powered
down. Use the daylight therapy lamps immediately after waking up (i.e. as early as possible) to end the produc-
tion of melatonin and to brighten your mood.
Lack of light also prevents the production of the happy hormone serotonin, which is said to significantly influence
our "well-being". The application of light yields qualitative changes to hormones and neurotransmitters in the
brain that have an effect on our activity levels, our feelings and our well-being. To compensate for such a hormo-
nal imbalance, the daylight therapy lamp can create a suitable replacement for natural sunlight.
In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used to compensate for the effects of a lack of light. Daylight
therapy lamps simulate daylight over 10.000 lux. The light can influence the human body and be used as a treat-
ment or as a preventative measure. Normal electric light is not sufficient to influence hormonal balance. Because
in a well-lit office the illuminance level amounts to just 500 lux.
