Why use a daylight therapy lamp?
When the hours of daylight are noticeably shorter in autumn and people increasingly stay inside in winter, the ef-
fects of a lack of light may become apparent. This is often described as "winter depression". The symptoms can
present themselves 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 passed to the blood only
in darkness. This hormone shows your body that it's time to sleep. That's why more melatonin is produced in
months with less sunshine, making it difficult to get up in the mornings because your body functions are powered
down. Use the daylight therapy lamp immediately after waking up (i.e. as early as possible) to end the production
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 thus yields quantitative 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, daylight therapy lamps can create a suitable replacement for natural sunlight.
In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used as compensation for the effects of a lack of light. Daylight
therapy lamps simulate daylight over 10,000 lux. This light can influence the human body and be used as a
treatment or as a preventative measure. Normal electric light, however, is not sufficient to influence the hormonal
balance. This is because in a well-lit office, the light intensity is just 500 lux, for example.
