• The Litebook® should be positioned approximately 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) from your face, and should be offset at a 30 to 45 degree angle, like sunlight coming in a window.
• The Litebook's® light beam must be directed at your eyes, and your eyes must be open to achieve benefit.
• The Litebook's® light beam is very bright - like the sun - in order to provide the benefit you seek. You do not stare at The Litebook® - as you do not stare at the sun – although it is not harmful to glance at it occasionally.
• Typically, you will recognize when you've received sufficient light - most often by feelings of heightened alertness, energy, and/or mood.

How many LUX does The Litebook® provide?
A growing body of research demonstrates that the effectiveness of light therapy is less dependent on the intensity (LUX) of the light source than it is on the wavelength of the light. Numerous research reports on the same peak wavelengths of light emitted by and The Litebook® Elite™ conclude that it is these wavelengths of light that are the ‘action spectrum’ for light therapy. In other words, these wavelengths of light are responsible for increasing energy, improving mood, and restoring sleep patterns. Since the white LEDs in all Litebook® products produce light with peaks in the most effective wavelengths, most users find that they need LESS time (typically 15-30 minutes/day) with Litebook® products than they did with larger 10,000 lux light boxes. Thus, while we no longer refer to the ‘lux’ of our products, we are comfortable stating that The Litebook® Elite™ emits light that is the equivalent to 10,000 lux at 24 inches.

Can I use The Litebook® in my vehicle?
The Litebook® operates on AC or DC power, permitting use in a vehicle (through a power port or cigarette lighter). However, due to the intensity of the light source, it is recommended that it NOT be used by the driver while operating a vehicle (night vision is adversely affected by bright light).

The Litebook® may be used safely by the driver while the vehicle is parked or stationary, provided the user waits several minutes prior to operating the vehicle.

Passengers may enjoy a light session while the vehicle is in motion. Because The Litebook® is designed as a personal light device, this should not interfere with the safe operation of a vehicle.

Is light therapy covered by my insurance or health care provider?
Light therapy is recommended by healthcare professionals for combating SAD and other body-clock disruptions in the U.S. and Canada, as well as northern Europe and elsewhere. Patients in the Canada, U.S. and some other countries are able to obtain a prescription for light therapy from a physician, and increasingly, receive reimbursement from insurance companies for the purchase of a light therapy device.
