Product Description
The power of light
Lumie Desklamp provides extra-bright light to treat SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), sleep disorders or give a mood, energy and concentration boost to anyone who needs it. It is perfect for people who struggle in the mornings or whose energy drops at work, during afternoons or nightshifts. It sits unobtrusively on your desk at home or work, emitting therapeutic light, and also provides high contrast dimmable light for reading. Desklamp uses 96 white LEDs, blue-enriched in the part of the spectrum known for regulating your bodyclock.
The science behind light therapy
As the nights close in towards winter most of us feel more downbeat, tired or less happy. An estimated 1/4 of us in the UK suffer from the winter blues or the more severe SAD syndrome which causes depression and lethargy. Light therapy is a proven, natural and healthy remedy. Numerous studies have found that exposure to bright light can make people feel alert, upbeat and energised. It resets your internal body clock by sending strong daylight signals to the brain, affecting hormone release, making your body feel awake during the day and ready for sleep at night. Low seratonin levels, a feature of depression, improve significantly.
Who is Desklamp for?
Desklamp is extremely versatile and suitable for use at home or at work. Use it with the diffuser off for fast treatment (about 30 minutes) or leave it on for softer lighting and a longer (60 minutes) session. Desklamp will help you feel you feel wide awake and refreshed - much healthier than another cup of coffee. It also works for those who suffer from the winter blues or SAD, providing 10,000lux at 22cm.
