Northern Light Technologies Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp
Posted on | August 28, 2010 | 1 Comment
With a pyramidal design reminiscent of those famous Luxor monuments of the Egyptian Pharaohs, the Northern Light Technologies Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp brings the invigorating effects of 10,000 lux illumination to nearly any place where there is room to set it up – from the office desk to the living room coffee table, from the dining room to the kitchen counter. A stark white pyramid of frosted glass, the lamp emits the light needed to banish the chemical cobwebs of winter gloom.
SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, is an affliction caused by insufficient stimulation of the eye’s photosensitive retinal ganglion cells by the weak, brief daylight of winter. This, in turn, causes the chemical balance of the body to shift, prompting depression, making it hard to wake up fully in the morning, and triggering a desire to eat excessive amounts of carbohydrates, meaning that you risk emerging from the winter season both melancholy and overweight if SAD is left untreated.
If the ganglion cells are excited by light as strong as that of a summer day, however, the body will produce chemicals that will boost your energy levels, lift your mood, and make you more alert and wakeful – and simultaneously less likely to suffer from insomnia.
The Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp is one of a number of excellent phototherapy devices available on the modern market, and stands out from them in several different ways. Its intriguing design is a striking conversation piece and fits nearly any décor, unlike many more “industrial-looking” phototherapy lamps. The glass of the pyramid’s walls blocks all ultraviolet light, ensuring that your skin is fully protected from these potentially harmful illumination byproducts. The lamp also provides fully-effective phototherapy at less cost than some more elaborate systems.
You can adjust the effect of this Northern Light Technologies product by moving it closer to you or further away. If you want a fairly brief, intense session of phototherapy, move it close in – about 7” away from you – for a thirty minute treatment, or push out to 12” distant in order to enjoy a prolonged, hour-long session.
For those to whom the location of where a product is made is important, the Luxor lamp is made entirely either in Canada or the United States. This means, of course, that you can expect high quality – as witnessed by the lamp’s robust 5-year warranty – as well as knowing that your purchase is stimulating the “local” economy and thus ultimately feeding back into better economic conditions for you and your fellow citizens.
If you are looking for a good solution to depression and even insomnia, then the Luxor SAD Therapy Lamp provides you with an affordable, attractive, and effective lamp that you can use at any time of year to positively impact your body’s hormonal balance.
The crisply modern design means that few employers will object to it being used in the office, while in the home it will provide you with therapeutic effects while you are eating, reading, or working on your computer. Purchasing this item will set you on the road to better-balanced brain chemistry, a lighter mood, and more energy without breaking the bank.
