			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Light therapy has become the latest buzz in the medical community. Experts are conducting studies that show our bodies respond better to waking up to a gradually increasing light that mimics the natural sunrise as opposed to a blasting alarm clock. Our bodies feel more rested and we function better throughout the day when we are awakened properly. Many products imitating natural sunrises are on the market, so it can be difficult to find the one that best suits your needs yet still offers the best value. I have found that when it comes to this type of product it is best to go with a trusted name in the appliance market. The Philips Company offers a wake up light to suit every need.</p>
<p>The Philips name is associated with quality appliances and electronics so it seems logical that the Philips name would offer a quality wake up light. The Philips wake up light understands that each person is different so they have designed their product with that in mind. The intensity of the light can be programmed by the user with over twenty different light intensity settings. The light setting can be set bright enough to use the device as a bedtime reading lamp or soft enough that it can double as a night light. The choice is up to the individual user. </p>
<p>The Philips wake up light also comes preprogrammed with soothing sounds that the user can select to accompany the simulated sunrise. Calming gentle sounds awake the body gradually, not harshly like most alarm clock sounds. Most alarms go off in the morning with a blaring noise that jars you from your sleep basically scaring you awake. Heart thumping the first instinct is to bolt upright in bed feeling panicked and confused. This is surely not the ideal way to begin your morning. At the onset you day is started with pressure and raw nerves. How nice would it be to wake up gradually, feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day in a positive, upbeat mood?</p>
<p>Users who have tried the Philips wake up light report feelings of general well being from the first day. Everything from the ultra modern design to the ease of use and customization options prompt great reviews of the product from owners. The Philips wake up light even comes with a brochure created by the National Sleep Foundation that details how users can take advantage of manipulating light for greater sleep benefits. Why not become one of the thousands of users who have learned the secret to a healthier, more productive day by utilizing the Philips wake up light.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasonal Affect Disorder affects millions of people around the globe even those that live in areas with high levels of sunlight. Many that suffer from this condition take prescription medication for stress and anxiety. Scientists have now found a new treatment that is effective in helping alleviate the symptoms of SAD. Light therapy has been found to help increase energy, reduce stress and regulate the body’s internal clock. The benefits of light therapy can be of use to anyone who is suffering SAD, stress, jet lag or irregular sleep patterns. The benefits of light therapy can be enjoyed with as little as thirty minutes of exposure a day. </p>
<p>The Medlight II is a convenient and safe way to enjoy the benefits of light therapy right in your own home. The desk sized light produces 10,000 LUX of full spectrum light which has been shown to reduce the effects of stress, SAD and other conditions. The unit measures 10.5” x 9.5” x 3.25” and weighs only 7 pounds so it will fit on a desk or table top with ease. The unit is also easy to pack when you travel so you can enjoy the benefits of utilizing a SAD lamp even when you are on traveling. Since the Medlight II is made of metal, you can rest assured that the SAD lamp will be durable and able to withstand jarring in a suitcase. </p>
<p>The Medlight II SAD lamp is an actual light box. The entire unit emits a full spectrum light as opposed to those units that only utilize small LED bulbs. The unit is still attractive and will fit in with most any style of décor. The Medlight II does not have sounds or sleep timers included, but instead the SAD lamp focuses on providing the exact amount of full spectrum light needed to achieve maximum health benefits. The unit is actually a smaller version of the popular Medlight 2400 and was created to accommodate users who wanted a SAD lamp that offered the same health benefits of a larger unit but that was more compact. </p>
<p>The Medlight II an exceptionally well crafted product that is proudly made in the USA. The SAD light includes a full 90 day warrantee. If you are in need of a product to help eliminate the side effects of SAD or just to help you improve your overall mood and sleeping habits, I highly recommend trying this product.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many new devices have become available on the market today to help those who suffer from Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD). While these many of these devices work, the problem is that they are not truly portable. Life today is so fast paced and hectic that many people cannot find the time to use a SAD lamp. Most SAD lamps are desktop models and while you may take the device from room to room, you have to be near an outlet for the SAD lamp to be functional. This is unfortunate since studies have shown that exposure to SAD lamps helps to decrease or completely eliminate the affects of the disorder. Recently, I found a new product that addresses this issue. The Feel Bright Light Visor is a unique and inventive way to utilize a SAD light while on the go.</p>
<p>The device is a set of blue-green LED bulbs which offer great benefits with maximum bulb life span. The blue-green LED bulb also ensures that there is no UV radiation and helps to prevent macular degeneration. The unit offers 10,000 LUX full spectrum natural lighting. The SAD light comes with a visor included, but can be clipped to any visor of hat of choice. You can change visors if one becomes dirty or even just to match a different outfit. Just switch visors, clip on the device and you are ready to reap the benefits of natural SAD lighting. There are no cords or plugs to keep you from going where you please. The device is guaranteed to hold 8000 charges. </p>
<p>The Feel Bright Light Visor is truly a portable SAD lamp that allows the user to reap the same benefits as those using a desk top SAD lamp. The kit comes with all that you will need to start enjoying a healthier life. The charger, lights, visor, carrying case and dual lock attachment all come with your purchase. The lights and the charger come with a lifetime warrantee, while the other items can be ordered for replacement if needed. Many desk models are rendered useless if a bulb burns out of a piece is broken. This will not be the case with the Feel Bright Light Visor. </p>
<p>If you are a busy person who does not stay in one place for too long, I would recommend you consider the light visor. Immediate improvements in your sleep quality, decrease in stress levels, increase in energy and overall feeling of good health will take place once you start using this ingenious device.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasonal Affect Disorder known as SAD is a condition that occurs when levels of natural light are low. For the past decade scientists and medical professionals have been utilizing artificial light sources to mimic natural sunlight to help alleviate the affects of the disorder. The Lightphoria SAD light allows those suffering from SAD to receive natural light therapy in the convenience of their own home. Light therapy is known to improve mood, regulate the body’s internal clock, reduce stress and provide energy without any harmful side effects. </p>
<p>There are numerous models of SAD lamps on the market, but I like Lightphoria’s SAD light for its simplicity. The Lightphoria has three intensity levels ranging from low to high. The lowest level emits 5,000 LUX the mid level emits 8,000 LUX and the high level emits 10,000 LUX. The SAD light sits conveniently on a desk or table top and the modern design will look good in any type of décor. The Lightphoria SAD light is also small enough to make traveling with the unit easy thus allowing you to enjoy the benefits of light therapy while away from home. </p>
<p>The Lightphoria SAD light emits a wide spectrum light wavelength which is the closest to natural sunlight. Other SAD lamps only use blue-green spectrum of light which limits the full benefits of light therapy. By providing users with a wide spectrum of light, Lightphoria ensures optimum results with no harmful side effects. Users have noted an improvement in energy, sleep regularity, mood and claim that waking up in the morning is easier since their internal clocks are being regulated. </p>
<p>Another definite selling point is the low price. This SAD lamp is placed much lower than other units but produces the same results as the higher priced models. The unit does not have fancy buttons or touch screen capability, nor does it have sleep timers and built in sounds or mood enhancers. This is why the price can be so affordable while enjoying the same benefits. </p>
<p>Overall I like the simplicity and the inexpensive price point of the Lightphoria SAD Light Therapy Pad and I would recommend the SAD lamp to anyone who is suffering from Seasonal Affect Disorder or even just low energy levels. Just about everyone could benefit from thirty minutes of daily light therapy to help stabilize sleep patterns, increase energy and improve overall mood. Why not take advantage of such incredible benefits at such a great price. Order today and you can start feeling more energetic in no time at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people will agree that the sound of the dreaded alarm in the morning is not a soothing or relaxing way to start out the day. Being greeted by some obnoxious noise designed to make one jump straight up out of bed in a heated panic is not the way nature intended for humans to rise and shine. Our bodies are created to respond to the gradual rising of the sun and the natural increase in noises in our environment. The sounds of chirping birds and nature’s other noises are meant to gently prompt us from our slumber. Beep, beep, beep blasting from a speaker box is not a sound found in nature and it is not a proper way for us to be aroused from our slumber. This is all good and well, but we have to be at work by a set time. There are deadlines to meet and projects to start. There is no time for allowing our bodies to wake up gradually with only nature as our alarm. That is until now. The Bodyclock ELITE 300 makes this pipedream a reality. </p>
<p>The SAD lamp mimics what nature intended for us; gradually awakening to sunlight and noise. The ELITE 300 allows the user to customize the settings for the optimum waking up experience. A timer can be used to determine how quickly the light will reach full capacity. Soothing sounds can be added that can increase in volume until you are awake. A radio tuner allows you to wake up to music or you can use a memory card and wake to whatever you chose. The possibilities are virtually endless! Not only can the ELITE 300 SAD lamp be used to gently rouse you from your slumber, but the device doubles as a sleep aid. The sunset feature allows you to set a length of time where the light will go from bright to dim until it is completely dark. The sleep timer allows the user to fall asleep listening to the sounds of nature. </p>
<p>Users of the ELITE 300 SAD lamp have reported increases in energy, better night’s sleep, decrease in SAD symptoms and an increase in an overall feeling of well being. The smart design of the ELITE 300 adds style to any room. The unit is small enough that you can pack it with you when you are on holiday or traveling for work. Free yourself from the nagging sound of an alarm clock and start reaping the benefits of waking gradually to nature’s soothing method.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD) is a serious medical condition that leads to depression and lethargy. Research has shown that exposure to natural light can lessen the effects and even eliminate SAD completely in some users. One innovative product that is helping those that suffer from the condition is the SAD lamp. A SAD lamp is a device that emits natural white light imitating natural sunlight. The effect is an increase in energy, positive attitude, a decrease in stress and the internal body clock regulating itself. </p>
<p>The Certified SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder SAD Light Box is a certified medical device that can help those that suffer from this condition to recover. The box has a sleek design so that it fits well in any décor. The unit can be tilted to different degrees allowing for greater flexibility of use. Possible places to place the device include on a nightstand, a computer desk or a coffee table. Any flat service that you will be near will work. </p>
<p>Since the SAD lamp is small in size, you can take it with you anywhere you go. You can take it with you to work and use it on your desk. If you travel, you can take the SAD light along with you and use it in your hotel room. The portability of the device is a wonderful asset allowing those that suffer from Seasonal Affect Disorder to be able to get relief from the condition even when they are on the go. The size also means that you can take the SAD lamp with you from room to room while you are going about your normal daily activities.</p>
<p>Other features that are impressive with this model include the list of medical certifications for the device. The SAD lamp is designed to comply with the following:<br />
Medical Devices Directive EC92/42<br />
Medical Electrical Requirement for General Safety EN 60601-1:2006<br />
Medical Electrical Requirement for General Safety EN 60601-1-1-2:2002<br />
Luminaire Standard EN 60595-2-4: 1997 &#038; EN 60598-1:2003<br />
SO 13485 &#8211; Medical Quality Standard</p>
<p>The SAD light is also tested by an independent company to ensure and that all compliance standards are strictly adhered to and the device meets rigorous quality standards. The makers of the SAD lamp strive to ensure their device can accommodate all needs and that the SAD lamp is of the highest quality available on the market. I highly recommend that any who suffers from SAD purchase the SAD lamp and utilize the therapy for at least sixty minutes each day. If you do so, you will most assuredly notice a difference in your attitude and energy levels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people are now aware of a condition known as Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD), but they are not as familiar with the latest method of drug free treatment that helps to alleviate the symptoms caused by the disorder. Light is now being used as a therapeutic tool in combating the effects of SAD. Daily exposure to full spectrum light without the harmful UV rays has shown beneficial in relieving SAD and the many symptoms associated with the condition. Benefits range from better sleep habits, more energy, better mood, less stress and an overall increase in a feeling of well being. The usual method to deliver the light is by a desktop or wall mounted lighting device. This is where the Valkee NPT 10 is so unique. The Valkee SAD light delivers bright light directly to your brain via your ear canal.</p>
<p>This is one of the most revolutionary products on the market today. Amazing is the only word to use to describe the Valkee NPT 10 SAD light. The device looks like a MP3 music player complete with ear buds, but it is really a light therapy tool. The ear buds actually deliver bright light directly to your brain! This device can easily fit in your shirt pocket making it the ideal standard for portability. You can literally take it anywhere you go. And with as little as eight minutes a day you can start to realize the benefits of bright light therapy and completely eliminate SAD symptoms. Imagine having more energy, less stress and an overall feeling of well being. Well, now that is possible and you can perform the light treatment anywhere. </p>
<p>I am sure there are those that are skeptical, but the Valkee is an actual class 2A certified medical device. The company boasts that nine out of ten users experienced total relief of symptoms which in itself is amazing. Their studies show that there are areas of our brain that require light in order for us to have a healthy frame of mind. The research conducted showed that the quickest and most efficient route for light to reach these areas of the brain was not through our eyes but our ear canals. The clinical study was conducted on 25 severely depressed patients who were treated with the Valkee SAD light daily for four weeks and the results showed that 90 percent of the patients experienced total relief from their symptoms. </p>
<p>I am thoroughly impressed with the Valkee SAD light. No other light therapy device can boast such great results in a clinical study. The size, ease of use and convenience of the device make it perfect for any lifestyle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vanquishing the winter glums has never been easier than today, when a whole series of phototherapy devices – including the NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp – is being produced to lighten your mood. Improving the chemical balance of your brain and body even when the days are at their shortest is what these lamps are meant to do, and in the main, they perform their function very well.</p>
<p>The SunTouch Plus is a conveniently small device that will bathe you in comfortable-toned 10,000 lux light, modulated to provide the best possible therapeutic effects while minimizing eyestrain. This clear radiance will stimulate your body to its summer energy levels and make you feel frisky and upbeat even when the snow is flying, while it will also help to prevent the carbohydrate craving that prompts so many to gain unwanted weight during the winter. The lamp’s 17,000 Kelvins mimics the illumination qualities of sunlit blue sky, activating the retinal ganglion cells that govern the circadian rhythms of the human body.</p>
<p>The SunTouch Plus provides the same stimulation as spring light, according to the manufacturer, and many studies have proven the effectiveness of phototherapy at restoring the correct hormonal balance at any time of year. The device is mostly meant to defeat SAD – seasonal affective disorder – caused by the body releasing chemicals in response to winter dimness which prompt depressed mood, lethargy, compulsive eating, and difficulty waking up in the morning. However, all types of depression, including mood swings caused by menstruation, are alleviated by a good phototherapy lamp such as the SunTouch.</p>
<p>Safety and convenience are two of the main feature of the NatureBright SunTouch Plus. Studies at the University of Texas have shown no ill effects on the retina, which is the main risk associated with phototherapy devices, and the lamp produces no ultraviolet light. The device is fitted with an adjustable timer, and comes with instructions on how best to use the lamp. Thanks to its small size and light construction, the SunTouch Plus is also eminently portable.</p>
<p>Light is not the only refreshing thing produced by this creation of NatureBright, however. The lamp also emits negative ions, which are similar to those found near waterfalls and other areas where aerated water is common. These also help to shift human hormonal balances in a positive direction – and to keep your options open, the lamp is designed so that you can switch the ions on and off as desired. You can experiment by turning the ions on and off, and finding the combination which has the best effect on your mood and sleep cycle.</p>
<p>By buying and using the NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp, you quickly gain control over your hormonal balances in any season, improving your mood, making your sleep both briefer and more restful, and giving yourself an extra jolt of energy in a completely safe, comfortable, natural way. The lamp’s effectiveness is backed up with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 2 year warranty against defects. You owe it to yourself to keep your mood good and your body functioning well year-round, and the double therapy offered by this device will do just that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a complaint related to chemical imbalances caused by the short, dim days of winter. Around 1% of adults in the United States, and a higher percentage in the more northerly nation of the United Kingdom, are subject to this mood-lowering, energy-sapping syndrome. Fortunately, however, there are many fine products on the market today to overcome these problems and let you achieve a brighter future, both figuratively and literally, in just a week or two. </p>
<p>Stimulating the eyes’ inner ganglia with bright but mellow light, of the same spectrum as daylight, for anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour daily has a clinically studied positive effect on your outlook, mood, and energy levels. You will sleep better at night, awaken faster in the morning and feel more refreshed, and have higher levels of optimism, sexual interest, and general feeling of wellbeing, despite the dark conditions outdoors. </p>
<p>Among the three most useful SAD-related products to someone who is determined to vanquish their winter blues and rise to springtime levels of perkiness throughout the year are the Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp, a book entitled Seasonal Affective Disorder: Practice and Research, and the Verilux Natural Spectrum Desk Lamp.</p>
<p>Manufactured in Canada and the United States by <a href="http://www.sadlights.net/seasonal-affective-disorder/northern-light-technologies-luxor-sad-therapy-lamp/">Northern Light Technologies, the Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp</a> is a plain, straightforward, useful lamp with a striking pyramidal design that matches any modern décor – and likely would not look out of place in the palace of Louis XIV, either. Protected by a very solid five-year warranty, manufactured in North America with good materials and high standards of craftsmanship, this light provides 10,000 lux with UV blocking to keep you safe. The Luxor can be used for either half an hour or an hour each day, depending on the distance you position from yourself while it is being used. </p>
<p>The book <a href="http://www.sadlights.net/sad/understanding-sad-with-seasonal-affective-disorder-practice-and-research-by-partonen-and-pandi-perumal/">Seasonal Affective Disorder: Practice and Research</a> by Timo Partonen and S.R. Pandi-Perumal is a comprehensive guide to current research, diagnosis, and treatment for seasonal affective disorder, gathering together a large number of articles written by experts on the subject. The account presented is both informative for health care professionals, and accessible (in many places at least) to the average reader who wants to find out more about their SAD and how to vanquish it once and for all. Within the three-hundred twenty-five pages of this tome, you will find out everything there currently is to know about SAD, from concrete, proven portions to hazy guesses that fill in parts of the picture but may or many not be correct.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.sadlights.net/sad/vanquish-eyestrain-with-the-verilux-original-natural-spectrum-deluxe-desk-lamp/">Verilux Original Natural Spectrum Deluxe Desk Lamp</a>, a steel gooseneck lamp designed for reading, fine work such as sewing, miniature painting, or the like, provides natural-spectrum light for indoor work. The mellow, but clear, white glow is flicker-free and buzz-free thanks to several stabilizing technologies used in the device’s construction. There is a two-way brightness control for different tasks, and a light diffuser built into the lamp forestalls eyestrain. Warranted for three years with a limited warranty, the Verilux is a good choice for everyone who wants to read or do fine work indoors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sadlights.net/NewTravelite10000Lux"><img class="alignleft" title="10,000 LUX SAD Light" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21DSmZeW23L._SL160_.jpg" alt="10,000 LUX SAD Light" width="121" height="160" /></a>This compact phototherapy panel lamp from the Canadian-operated Northern Light Technologies, which goes by the lengthy but descriptive name of the New Travelite 10,000 Lux SAD Light Therapy Light Box, is one of the few SAD-defeating lights designed specifically to be as useful to the traveler as to the homebody. Whether you are using the device while in your house, at the office, or jetting around the world for business or pleasure, it will always be convenient for giving you the dose of refreshing light you need to keep the winter blues at bay.</p>
<p>Science has established a link between the lowered light levels of winter and the depressed moods that afflict around 1% of the population at the time, so regardless of whether you are sticking close to home or wandering across the face of the globe, it is prudent for your health and energy levels to bring the Travelite Light Box with you. You will make a better business deal if your mind is sharp, alert, and upbeat from phototherapy, while a winter vacation will be more fun if your body is not sapped by the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).</p>
<p>The flat panel of the Travelite Light Box delivers a steady, flicker-free 10,000 lux of mellow white light, which is equivalent to the light level of a clear spring or early summer day. This vernal radiance enters the eyes even if you are not looking directly at it, and stimulates the ganglion cells lining the inner curve of the eyeball, prompting the release of energizing, mood-lifting natural hormones.</p>
<p>You will need to adjust the length of time you undergo phototherapy with this lamp each day, depending on how far away from your face the light happens to be set up. If it is around a foot away, then twenty minutes to half an hour is sufficient, but if you have the lamp at the rather more practical distance of eighteen inches, then you will need a full hour to gain the therapeutic benefits. The morning is said to be the best time, and this makes logical sense, since the alertness-making chemicals are most useful when you have recently awakened rather than at bedtime.</p>
<p>The lamp can either be set in an included desk stand (which works rather like a magazine holder) or suspended from a nail or hook using the wall mount on the back. The light is compact and lightweight – at only 2 ½ pounds, it will add little to the weight of your luggage, and can be slipped into a briefcase or even an extra-large purse. The tubes are warranted for a year, while the entire lamp is warranted for half a decade, giving it one of the most robust guarantees on the market.</p>
<p>If you are planning to travel in the colder months and want to take a phototherapy device with you, or if you simply want a compact, lightweight, convenient lamp, then the Travelite 10,000 Lux Light Therapy Light Box is a great choice to boost your mood and keep you energetic in any season or weather. Buying yours now will let you get a head start on beating the winter glums and get the levels of energy you want and need.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Understandably a bestseller, the NatureBright PER3 Deluxe Light Therapy Lamp wraps a handful of extremely useful functions up in a single light, compact, elegant steel-blue package which somewhat resembles a gooseneck lamp – although the “neck” is smooth and one-piece, moving on a pivot, rather than being made up of many articulated sections. The slim lamp is 20 inches tall and weighs four pounds, making it easy to set up in countless different situations.</p>
<p>The PER3 Therapy Lamp makes use of super-bright LED (light-emitting diode) technology to supply you with light at the spectrum of natural daylight without many of the problems associated with tube-based phototherapy lamps. For example, there is no flicker, which tends to produce eyestrain, and the LED light creation process produces absolutely no ultraviolet (UV) rays. The energy efficiency of LEDs is legendary, and as a result, this lamp uses only a tenth the power which an equivalent incandescent lamp would.</p>
<p>The NatureBright PER3 can operate as a dawn and dusk simulator. Awakening and falling asleep gradually, rather than abruptly, are believed by many health scientists to be key in maintaining good hormonal balances, sleeping patterns, and positive emotional states, just as much as bright light therapy itself. It is certainly a more pleasant experience to be eased back to wakefulness by slowly-growing light, and this lamp can provide that event reliably every day.</p>
<p>The dawn and dusk simulators are fully programmable, allowing you to choose both when you are awakened and how long and gradual the rousing process should be. The twilight-simulation waning of the light in the evening is soothing and comfortable, and tends to produce natural antidepressant effects as well.</p>
<p>The lamp also provides full, bright light therapy of the standard kind, with the addition of ultraviolet-free safety and flicker-free, easy-on-the-eyes operation thanks to its clustered LEDs. Fifteen to thirty minutes will boost energy and sharply lessen various detrimental effects of short winter days, menstruation, jet lag, and even just general work-related tiredness or depression.</p>
<p>Finally, the NatureBright Therapy Lamp offers you functionality as a regular reading lamp, to be used at your bedside or near your favorite chair in the den. The clear, clean, full-spectrum natural light it offers illuminates your page (or computer keyboard) clearly and thoroughly without producing glare, thus allowing you to read without the letters swimming before your eyes even when you are tired.</p>
<p>Thus, it becomes clear why this lamp is a popular best-seller – and why you should buy it for yourself today, or as a gift for a sufferer from SAD, a traveler, or a reader whom you know. With its easy portability – able to fit into many containers such as duffel bags and the like – stylish appearance, safe and effective LED light (which will last a total of 100,000 hours), and multiple uses (dawn and dusk simulator, reading or computer lamp, and phototherapy device), this lamp is a must-have for anyone who wants to improve their sleep patterns, winter mood, and energy levels throughout the year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a distinctive triangular cross-section and the ability to be laid flat or stood on end for different lighting angles, the Full Spectrum Lighting LitePod – Compact SAD Lightbox is a phototherapy device that would bring a touch of spring sunshine to even the murkiest winter moor. No matter the season or weather outside, clinical tests indicate that a SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lamp can make an immense difference in your comfort and mood, and chase away the gloom of even the rainiest, foggiest January evening in London.</p>
<p>Small enough to be easily portable, lightweight and measuring only 38 centimeters along its longest axis, this lamp still delivers a correctly-modulated 10,000 lux of light which has the same positive effects as one of its larger cousins. The light even eases the eyes while working on a computer, so setting the LitePod next to your computer in the office or when you are checking e-mail, working, or playing video games at home can help to ease eyestrain as well.</p>
<p>The proper treatment time for a phototherapy device of this size and power is between 45 minutes and an hour, generally in the morning so that its beneficial effects will boost your energy levels for the day and leave you able to get more refreshing sleep that night. Since the lamp is small, it is fairly easy to tuck it away between uses as well, so if you have a flat of limited size, this will be an attractive bonus as well.</p>
<p>The Full Spectrum Lighting LitePod – Compact SAD Lightbox is rated as a class 11A medical device, in recognition of the tangible benefits it gives to those who otherwise suffer from winter depression and enervation. Since the British Isles tend to be foggy and rainy at the best of times, there are many other times of year when the mood-uplifting effects of the LitePod are welcome as well. Even those who suffer from non-seasonal depression are likely to experience an improvement after using this lamp for a week or two, and it can even help some menstruation-related mood effects and reduce insomnia as well.</p>
<p>Light therapy is a relatively new field of treatment, but the LitePod makes the most of its most promising advances to deliver the light you need, when and where you need it. The small size means that you can bring it to any place you happen to be spending some time, such as while working, reading, preparing a meal or eating the food you have cooked, working at your computer, and so on. The device’s compact dimensions make it sturdy and hard to break, as well, much more so than a larger, more attenuated phototherapy lamp.</p>
<p>If you feel the creeping approach of gloomy moods and lessened energy whenever fog darkens the day or the winter rains have set in, you owe it to yourself and all the potential energy that is being wasted by this affliction to buy the Full Spectrum Lighting LitePod and start making use of it as soon as possible, thus gaining more control over your frame of mind and your dynamism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The natural process of waking and sleep at dawn and dusk is far more soothing and refreshing than being awakened by the rending jangle of an alarm clock, or trying to sleep in sudden darkness. This inborn diurnal cycle is made viable in the modern era by the BioBrite Sunrise Clock Advanced Model with White Noise, one of the more notable wake-up lamps now available for those who want to enjoy natural waking’s health-boosting benefits.</p>
<p>An elegant ivory dome that will add a bit of contemporary flair to your décor, the BioBrite Sunrise Clock is nevertheless much more than just another pretty lamp. You can be eased back to wakefulness with a gradual surge of light that duplicates the coming of dawn, meaning that you will no longer need to endure the sudden braying of an alarm in the pitch blackness of a winter morning, while the sunset setting allows you to nod off gently at night, lessening the chance of insomnia and other nighttime complaints.</p>
<p>This lamp takes advantage of the scientifically-proven sensitivity of the human eye to light in the early morning hours to rouse you reliably, yet far more pleasantly than an audio alarm. If you wake up gradually as light in your bedroom slowly increases, you will feel much more alert and energized than if you awaken suddenly, and will be ready to tackle the new day with zest regardless of whether it is summer or winter.</p>
<p>The Sunrise Clock’s “dawn cycle” can be set to awaken you over a period ranging from 15 minutes to an hour, in quarter-hour increments. This is convenient for those who find that a longer or shorter awakening makes them feel more refreshed, and also fits better into your schedule. If you are an early riser with an urgent job, then the 15 minute setting can wake you smoothly but swiftly, feeling pert for your work day. If you have a more laid-back lifestyle – or simply a job that starts later in the day &#8212; you can be awakened over the course of a full hour.</p>
<p>The “dusk cycle” can draw out the dimming of the light over the same range of time, again in quarter-hour increments. The slow, gentle ebbing of the light will tend to ease you into sleep, removing the tendency to lie and stare at the unseen ceiling after the light is switched off suddenly. If you want to keep a bit of illumination, the lamp can fade to a nightlight setting, or you can opt for total darkness. There is a “white noise” feature as well, which can be switched on and off, and which can be set to fade after a time or continue all night – blocking out the sounds of traffic, the distant conversation and music from neighboring apartments, or the snores of a spouse.</p>
<p>The BioBrite Sunrise Clock Advanced Model offers still more utility – a sign of thoughtful design on the inventors’ part, since they attempted to round out its usefulness with addition features. The lamp can be set to provide a steady, soft light for bedroom reading or other evening activities. There is a backup beeper in case you do not entirely trust the light to awaken you, and power backup as well in case of an outage. Finally, there is a one-year warranty, and low-cost, fast-turnaround repairs after that date in case anything ever goes wrong, so you can be confident in your investment’s future.</p>
<p>With a host of useful features, a solid warranty, plenty of customizable settings to match your own natural inclinations and scheduling needs, and the refreshing power of a natural dawn/dusk cycle when you need it, the BioBrite Sunrise Clock is an excellent investment for anyone who wants to improve their sleeping cycle year-round. There is no reason to wait any longer to take control of your sleeping patterns and energy levels – getting this clock today will help you feel more rested, alert, and capable after only a few days of use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the everlasting light and warmth of the high-tech houses they live in, modern humans remain diurnal creatures who are likely to become depressed by the short days and weaker light of winter – a situation that the Blue Light SAD Therapy Sunbox helps to correct. “Seasonal Affective Disorder,” or SAD, is a cold-season affliction also known as the “winter blues.”</p>
<p>However, blue light therapy perks up the human heart even in the deepest part of winter and helps to vanquish SAD, refreshing you and giving you the energy you want year-round. The Blue Light Sunbox offers you plenty of revitalizing features, including the same refreshing, anti-depressive benefits as 10,000 LUX white light. Additionally, it does not cause problems in those who are sensitive to bright, intense light, unlike some competing products.</p>
<p>The Sunbox’s blue light has been proven to be health-promoting in studies conducted at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, helping to quash insomnia (including that caused by Alzheimer’s disease) while also boosting the energy and mood of those who are awake. It even shows some signs of helping curb depression in seasons other than winter, in those who are otherwise subject to bouts of melancholy.</p>
<p>The device remains conveniently compact despite this array of positive features, so that can be carried nearly anywhere with you, and can be set up easily at various places in your home and office. It is around the size of a rather thick book, at 9” by 5” by 1”, and weighs only 1.5 pounds. For ease of setup, a 6-foot power cord is provided, which is considerably longer than the power cords of many appliances. The Sunbox comes with a folding stand so that it can be set up to shine directly on you, maximizing the benefit of its salubrious rays.</p>
<p>The Caribbean Blue Light SAD Therapy Sunbox can be used anywhere in the world without needing a voltage converter – it works as well with 110 volt American power as it does with 220 volt or 240 volt European electricity. The machine runs on only 9 volts of power due to its LED technology, reducing the amount of energy it takes to run to a bare minimum.</p>
<p>The makers of the Caribbean Sun Box are confident in the quality of their product to the point that you can return the device anytime within the first thirty days for a full refund, with no questions asked. After that period, a 10 year warrantee protects your investment against all defects and the burn-out of its LEDs – a guarantee much more robust than many offered by more famous firms.</p>
<p>There is no need to wait until winter to purchase the SAD Therapy Sunbox. In fact, acquiring and using it in any season is an excellent way to get a head start on controlling the chemical balance of your body. By the time winter comes, you will already have the lifted mood and reliable energy that blue light phototherapy provides, and can snap your fingers in cheerful defiance at the already-banished winter blues.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Charles Dickens made the famous comment that the streets of London were so muddy in the winter that it would not be surprising to see a brontosaurus traversing them, and although the mud of his day has been largely eliminated by modern paving, the rain, drizzle, and fog that caused those conditions persist to this day. The Britebox Portable Light Therapy Unit for SAD helps to stave off the depressed mood that these short, dim days – with their low stimulation of the ocular ganglia – can cause, along with everything from overeating to anxiety to diminished sexual interest.</p>
<p>That there is a clear need for these devices is proven by the fact that around two million people in the United Kingdom are subject to the detrimental effects of serious Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. The Britebox Portable Light Therapy Unit consists of two panels hinged together, which can be folded into a thin, laptop-like object for easy carrying to and from the job or on travels within the country or abroad. When unfolded, these panels stand upright on their edges, and allow you to carefully adjust the angle of light to suit your needs.</p>
<p>The Britebox provides clear light at 10,000 lux, in a carefully-calibrated spectrum that simulates full daylight, although without the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. The energy efficiency of the light is noteworthy, with a typical half-hour session currently costing about . A built-in timer shuts the lamp off after 30 minutes. There are four tubes – two in each side – which provide illumination, and the tube life is nominally around 10,000 hours.</p>
<p>Since this light therapy unit is designed to be portable despite its relatively large surface area, it is built to be quite sturdy, including an ABS case to lessen the chance of blows affecting performance. It is also relatively lightweight at around four kilograms, although this is rather more than the typical laptop. However, since the device is comfortable to carry under the arm, the slightly heavier weight is not a major problem except in the case of weak or exhausted users. The design of the lamp – standing upright on two edges at an angle to each other – makes it extremely stable as well.</p>
<p>It is always pleasant when a manufacturer attends to the subsidiary but helpful details of a product as well. In this case, if you are a SAD sufferer, you can likely avoid paying value added tax (VAT) on this device, and the company, the SAD Light Hire Company, assists you in doing so. A certificate is included in the package, which you can fill out and send back to the firm. They will then endeavor to get the VAT on the sale waived for you – which is not certain, but quite likely, at least.</p>
<p>The Britebox Portable is a high-quality, well-designed phototherapy unit overall, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of natural-spectrum, 10,000 lux light either in the home or elsewhere. You can take major steps towards boosting your energy and making yourself immune to seasonal and meteorological depression by buying the tough, lasting, portable convenience of the Britebox Light Therapy Unit today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fires of human life burn low in the winter, when the body is deprived of the long-lasting, brilliant light of the spring and summer seasons. This natural reduction in the body’s energy levels is most perceptible as depression and a loss of energy, although some sufferers also find themselves enduring oversleeping, anxiety, and carbohydrate cravings as well.</p>
<p>The Day-Light Sky is a phototherapy device designed to counteract seasonal affective disorder (SAD), returning a more normal sleep cycle, improving mood, and imparting more energy to the user. Like most phototherapy devices, it works by providing intense but carefully modulated 10,000 lux light – as bright as full daylight out of the sun, which is up to 200 times brighter than a typically-illuminated room.</p>
<p>The Day-Light Sky is a large, flat panel lamp mounted on an adjustable stalk jutting from a stable base. The lamp has many features that make it useful to you both as a weapon against SAD and as a lamp for your home or office. Exposure to the light during the winter will pep you up and leave you feeling more optimistic and energized. You will also be more alert in the morning and less likely to oversleep, making you more productive and returning control of your bodily rhythms to you.</p>
<p>Although the Day-Light Sky provides 10,000 lux of light, which is far brighter than your ordinary household lights, the lens filters out 99.3% of ultraviolet rays. The Sky is therefore safer than outdoor light on your bare skin, but has the same intensity and health benefits. The light provided is steady despite being generated by fluorescent tubes, and the lens has a diffusing effect that prevents the intense light from causing glare. The illumination is warm and pleasant, and gives you clear visibility for work at the same time as it helps your body achieve a better chemical equilibrium.</p>
<p>The device is flexible as well. A single tube can be switched on to provide clear, vibrant work light, or both tubes can be turned on, which generates the 10,000-lux radiance necessary for invigorating phototherapy. The stalk or arm on which the light is mounted allows you to adjust the lamp so that it provides you with the exact angle of light that is best suited to your comfort and convenience.</p>
<p>Finally, the Day-Light Sky’s sleekly modern design fits unobtrusively into nearly any décor, offering both healthful light and an interesting conversation piece. Getting your Day-Light Sky today will not only help you prepare your body’s hormonal balance for the coming winter, but will give you a clear but mellow light source for working that is as revealing as daylight – a useful addition to your house in any season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vanquishing the winter blues has never been easier than today, when a whole series of phototherapy devices – including the NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp – is being produced to lighten your mood. Improving the chemical balance of your brain and body even when the days are at their shortest is what these lamps are meant to do, and in the main, they perform their function very well.</p>
<p>The SunTouch Plus is a conveniently small device that will bathe you in comfortable-toned 10,000 lux light, modulated to provide the best possible therapeutic effects while minimizing eyestrain. This clear radiance will stimulate your body to its summer energy levels and make you feel frisky and upbeat even when the snow is flying, while it will also help to prevent the carbohydrate craving that prompts so many to gain unwanted weight during the winter. The lamp’s 17,000 Kelvins mimics the illumination qualities of sunlit blue sky, activating the retinal ganglion cells that govern the circadian rhythms of the human body.</p>
<p>The SunTouch Plus provides the same stimulation as spring light, according to the manufacturer, and many studies have proven the effectiveness of phototherapy at restoring the correct hormonal balance at any time of year. The device is mostly meant to defeat SAD – seasonal affective disorder – caused by the body releasing chemicals in response to winter dimness which prompt depressed mood, lethargy, compulsive eating, and difficulty waking up in the morning. However, all types of depression, including mood swings caused by menstruation, are alleviated by a good phototherapy lamp such as the SunTouch.</p>
<p>Safety and convenience are two of the main feature of the NatureBright SunTouch Plus. Studies at the University of Texas have shown no ill effects on the retina, which is the main risk associated with phototherapy devices, and the lamp produces no ultraviolet light. The device is fitted with an adjustable timer, and comes with instructions on how best to use the lamp. Thanks to its small size and light construction, the SunTouch Plus is also eminently portable.</p>
<p>Light is not the only refreshing thing produced by this creation of NatureBright, however. The lamp also emits negative ions, which are similar to those found near waterfalls and other areas where aerated water is common.

<p>The BioBrite Sunrise Clock Advanced Model with White Noise is the perfect gift to give yourself or others who have trouble coming fully awake or going to sleep within a reasonable amount of time. This probably describes almost everyone you know…including yourself! It’s just a fact of modern day life that falling asleep may be a challenge because of hectic days and that only makes waking up just as difficult.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sadlights.net/biobrite">The BioBrite Sunrise Clock</a> was designed to simulate a gradual sunrise and sunset. Most of us jump into bed still stressed from the day’s events and turn off the light hoping sleep comes soon. But all too often, people lay in the dark wishing it wasn’t so difficult to fall asleep. Then the morning comes and the loud sudden buzzing of the alarm jars nerves and puts people in a really bad mood before even getting out of bed!</p>
<p>By using a clock that also includes gradual lighting that comes on and off slowly, you give your body time to adjust to waking or falling asleep. In the morning the light comes on based on the timer cycle you choose and is quite dim. Slowly, the light gets brighter simulating the rising of the sun. As you first awake and are dozing, your body is adjusting to the new light. By the time the alarm goes off, you are almost fully awake already so the beeping does not jar the nerves.</p>
<p>At night, the light works in the opposite manner. The light will start bright and then slowly fade like a setting sun. It is very calming and relaxing. There is even a white noise feature so that you can block out noises that typically keep you awake. Between the white noise and the simulated setting sun, your body is able to fully relax in a way that induces sleep.</p>
<h3>Soft Lighting When You Need It</h3>
<p>The light has a dome that emits the soft lighting. You can use the dimmable bedside lamp for reading if you want. Other great features of the BioBrite Sunrise Clock Advanced Model include the following.</p>
<p>• Backup beeper for peace of mind<br />
• Power failure backup<br />
• Silent lighting operation<br />
• Optional alarm sounds<br />
• Optional lighting cycles<br />
• Sleek state-of-the art design</p>
<p>The light is very pleasing and some use it for security lighting. The light can be set to come and off as you need making the BioBrite Sunrise Clock Advanced Model much more than an alarm clock.  In other words, you can set the light without setting the alarm too. The lighting cycles can be set for 30, 60, or 90 minute cycles.</p>
<p>For example, if you want the first dim lighting to come on a half hour before the alarm, then you would choose the 30 minute cycle. If you want to fall asleep slowly or have a lot of difficulty falling asleep, you can choose the 90 minute “sunset”.</p>
<h3>Gentle and Natural</h3>
<p>Adults and children can take advantage of this clock-light cycle too. If you have trouble waking your school children up then this light might be the answer. It makes waking up fun!</p>
<p>You should buy the <a href="http://www.sadlights.net/biobrite">BioBrite Sunrise Clock</a> Advanced Model with White Noise when the thought of waking up or going to sleep causes dread. This clock light will wake you up gently and naturally and then help you fall asleep peacefully after a long day. You will feel much more rested and that is what sleep is all about!</p>
