Initial Use

Take the device out of the plastic wrapping. Check the device for damage or faults. If you notice any damage or faults on the device, do not use it and contact customer service or your supplier.

Positioning the Device

Place the device on an even surface. The position should be chosen to ensure a distance of between 10 cm and 40 cm between the user and the device. The lamp is most effective at this distance. Ensure that there is a mains socket close to the set-up area. Arrange the mains cable so that no one will trip over it.

Power Supply

Important

To prevent possible damage to the device, the daylight therapy lamp must only be used with the mains part described here.

1. Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this purpose on the rear of the daylight therapy lamp. The mains part must only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on the type plate.
2. After using the daylight therapy lamp, unplug the mains part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from the daylight therapy lamp.

App Connection

You can control all of the device's functions with the “beurer LightUp” app on your smartphone. To control the device's functions with the app on your smartphone, proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that your smartphone is connected to the Internet and that the daylight therapy lamp is switched on.
2. Download the “beurer LightUp” app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
3. Open the “beurer LightUp” app and follow the instructions.
4. Select the “TL 100” device in the app settings. You can now use the app to control the daylight therapy lamp and adjust the mood light, including brightness control and timer settings.
5. The blue Bluetooth® LED on the daylight therapy lamp will light up once the daylight therapy lamp is connected to the smartphone.

Note:

Depending on the settings for your smartphone, additional charges may be incurred for connecting to the Internet or transferring data.

beurer LightUp App Features

After downloading the “beurer LightUp” app and connecting the daylight therapy lamp to a smartphone via Bluetooth® (see “Initial Use”), you can control the daylight therapy lamp and the moodlight from the app.

Daylight

You can switch the daylight on and off using the app. In addition, you can also use the app to adjust the brightness and set a timer for the daylight.

Moodlight

You can use the app to adjust the moodlight. The app allows you to select from ten pre-configured moodlight settings, each with brightness control and timer functions. After activating a moodlight setting, a moodlight with changing colours begins to light up.

The pre-configured moodlight settings can only be adjusted from the app.

Note:

The moodlight and “beurer LightUp” app must not be considered medical products. Adjustments to the daylight function must be made on the device itself.

Operation

Connecting the Power Supply

Insert the mains part into the connector.

Switching On the Lamp

Press the on/off button.

LED Display/Timer

The daylight therapy lamp TL 100 indicates your current treatment time with the aid of 5 LEDs. The treatment time can be set at five different levels. The timer function is not activated when the light is switched on for the first time. The light now shines until it is switched off again or a treatment time is set (timer = 0 min). To use the timer, set the desired level from 1 to 5 using the +/− buttons. At level 1, a treatment time of 15 minutes is set. The other levels provide progressively longer treatment times. The light switches off automatically after the selected treatment time. If you wish to deactivate the timer function, press the − button until the LEDs go out.

Brightness Adjustment

The daylight therapy lamp TL 100 has 10 brightness levels. The desired brightness level can be set using the +/− buttons on the side. This level should be adjusted so that the light is pleasant for the eyes during treatment. When the device is switched off, the last brightness level that was set is saved. When the device is next switched on, it restarts with the saved brightness level.

Note:

The device can also be used up to brightness level 5 as a reading lamp.

Enjoying the Light

Position yourself as close as possible to the light, at a distance of between 10 and 40 cm. You can continue to go about your day-to-day activities during application, including reading, writing, making telephone calls, etc.

• Look directly into the light briefly from time to time, as the light is absorbed and produces its effect via the eyes/retina.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as needed. However, treatment is most effective if you carry out light therapy according to the prescribed time period for at least 7 consecutive days.
• The most effective time of day for treatment is between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., and a treatment duration of 2 hours per day is recommended.
• Do not look directly into the light for the entire application period, as this may cause overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with a brief application period and gradually increase the treatment time over the course of a week.

Note:

You may experience pain in the eyes and head after the first few applications. This pain should disappear during further sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the new stimuli. If symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Things to Consider

A distance of between 10 and 40 cm from the face to the light is recommended during application. The duration of the application depends on the distance between the user and the device.

Enjoying the Light Over Longer Periods

Repeat application on at least seven consecutive days during darker periods of the year, or for longer depending on your individual needs. Application should take place during the mornings where possible.

Switching Off the Light

Press the on/off button. The LEDs will switch off. Unplug the mains part from the mains socket.

Important!

The light remains hot after use. Allow the light to cool down sufficiently before putting it away and/or packing it away.

Moodlight with Changing Colours

In addition to normal daylight, the daylight therapy lamp TL 100 also features a moodlight with changing colours.

• Press and hold the on/off button for 2 seconds. The moodlight with changing colours will switch on.
• As with normal daylight, the moodlight also features a timer and brightness adjustment. To switch off the moodlight with changing colours, press and hold the on/off button again for 2 seconds.
• If you wish to have a coloured light permanently displayed while the colour-change operation is in progress, briefly press the on/off button.
• Press the on/off button again to switch off the permanent coloured light.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Device

The device should be cleaned from time to time.

Important

• Ensure that no water gets inside the device.
• The device must be switched off, disconnected from the mains, and allowed to cool down before each cleaning.
• Do not clean the device in a dishwasher. 
• Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the device. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products and never submerge the device in water. 
• Do not touch the device with wet hands when it is plugged in, and do not allow water to spray onto the device. Only operate the device if it is completely dry.

Storage

If you are not going to use the device for an extended period of time, disconnect it and store it in a dry place, out of the reach of children.

Follow the storage instructions provided in the “Technical Specifications” chapter.

• It takes approximately 30 minutes for the device to resume normal operation at an ambient temperature of 20°C after being stored at the lowest storage ambient temperature of −20°C.
• It takes approximately 30 minutes for the device to resume normal operation at an ambient temperature of 20°C after being stored at the highest storage ambient temperature of 50°C.
   

Troubleshooting — common problems, fixes and support

• Common problem: Lamp will not power on. Solution: verify the mains adapter is firmly connected, and the 1.8 m power cable is intact; try a different wall outlet and confirm the lamp’s on/off touch button is being pressed correctly.
• Common problem: Light output lower than expected (dim or uneven). Solution: confirm brightness is set above level 5 (lower levels may be intended for reading rather than therapy); use the dimmer (+/–) controls or the app to set a higher brightness level and ensure the lamp surface (Ø ~33.4 cm) is unobstructed.
• Common problem: Bluetooth app pairing or control issues. Solution: ensure Bluetooth on your smartphone is enabled, the free “beurer LightUp” app is installed, and the lamp is within Bluetooth range; restart the lamp and phone, then retry pairing per the app instructions.
• Error codes and fixes: the TL 100 uses simple button and app control rather than numeric error codes; persistent hardware faults (no power, unusual noise, or LED failure) should be referred to Beurer service or the retailer under warranty.
• Preventive measures: keep the lamp clean and free of dust on the LED surface, avoid prolonged direct exposure of the adapter cable to heat, use on a stable flat surface and follow recommended therapy distances (10–20 cm for maximum lux); do not expose to moisture or use in bathrooms unless specified by the manufacturer.

Warranty & support: Beurer commonly supplies a 3‑year guarantee for the TL 100 in many markets; for warranty claims or technical support, contact Beurer customer service or the authorised retailer where purchased and have the product model (TL 100 / Art. No. 608.35 / EAN 4211125608354) and proof of purchase ready.

Pros & Cons — honest assessment of the TL 100

• Pros — Effective daylight therapy: Provides the recommended 10,000 lux at close distances for short, effective morning sessions to help with SAD and low mood.
• Pros — Dual‑function mood light: 256‑colour mood light and app control offer ambience options beyond therapy—useful for relaxation or customizable lighting for home office setups.
• Pros — Build & optics: Flicker‑free LED, high CRI (>90) and a large roughly 33 cm illumination surface deliver even, glare‑controlled light suitable for desk placement.
• Pros — Usability: 10 brightness levels, timer (15–120 min), and dimmer memory simplify daily use; Bluetooth control increases convenience.
• Cons — Close distance required: To reach full 10,000 lux, you typically must position the lamp quite close (≈10 cm), which may be impractical for some desk layouts—further seating adjustments may be needed compared with larger panel lamps.
• Cons — Not portable without mains power: Mains adapter required (100–240 V), so it is not battery‑operated for mobile use.
• Cons — Price vs. basic models: Adds mood‑light and app features, so it is more expensive than simple, no‑frills SAD lamps; evaluate if the extra functions justify the cost for your needs.
• Comparison with alternatives: Compared with larger flat‑panel lamps that provide 10,000 lux at greater distances, the TL 100 is more compact and multi‑functional but requires closer placement; compared with budget SAD lamps, it offers higher CRI, mood lighting and app control, which add value for many users.

Customer reviews — real user feedback, ratings and recommendations

Overall sentiment: many users praise the TL 100 for clear mood improvement during darker months, compact design, and the versatile mood‑light function—typical average ratings at major retailers are generally positive (4–4.5 stars depending on the seller).

Common praises: effective 10,000 lux brightness for morning sessions, pleasant colour rendering (CRI >90), easy app control via “beurer LightUp”, and quiet, flicker‑free LEDs.

Common complaints: some reviewers note the need to place the lamp very close to achieve full therapeutic lux, and a minority report occasional pairing issues with Bluetooth that are usually fixed by restarting the app or device.

Star rating snapshot (representative): 4.2/5 average across several retailers — users who recommended purchase typically mentioned tangible mood/energy benefits after consistent morning use and that the TL 100 represents good value when the mood‑light and app features are important.
