Why Is the Daylight Therapy Lamp Called "Perfect Day"?

The Beurer TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp has three adjustable colour temperatures and therefore enables various applications to regulate the day-night rhythm. The daylight therapy lamp can either be used to imitate the progression of a sunny day or in a targeted manner to support phases of concentration, therapy, and relaxation. The TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp is based on the concept of "Human Centric Lighting". In Human Centric Lighting (HCL for short), people and their perception of light are the focus. HCL deals with the psychological, physiological, and psychobiological effects of light on people. For example, light acts as a signal transmitter for the internal body clock. HCL uses alternating colour temperatures and different levels of light intensity to help people concentrate or relax in the best possible way. Different colour temperatures can have different effects on the human eye. An increasing number of companies are creating ideal workplaces where employees are provided with suitable lighting. This can increase motivation and productivity while reducing errors and absences. The TL 45 Perfect Day daylight therapy lamp provides these benefits at your workplace or home. It has three colour temperature settings: "active", "therapy", and "relax".

Why Use a Daylight Therapy Lamp?

When daylight hours become noticeably shorter in autumn and people spend more time indoors during winter, the effects of a lack of light may become apparent. This is often described as "winter depression". The symptoms can present themselves in several ways:

• Imbalance
• Need for more sleep
• Subdued mood
• Loss of appetite
• Lack of energy and listlessness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Generally feeling under the weather

The cause of these symptoms is that light, particularly sunlight, is essential for life and has a direct effect on the human body. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of melatonin, which is released into the blood primarily during darkness. This hormone signals to your body that it is time to sleep. During months with less sunshine, changes in melatonin regulation can make it difficult to get up in the morning because the body's functions are influenced by the day-night rhythm. Using the daylight therapy lamp shortly after waking up may help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and improve your mood. Light exposure also influences serotonin-related processes that affect mood and well-being. The application of light can produce changes in hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, influencing activity levels, feelings, and general well-being. To compensate for the effects of insufficient daylight, daylight therapy lamps can provide a suitable alternative to natural sunlight. In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used to help manage the effects of a lack of light. Daylight therapy lamps can provide light intensities of approximately 10,000 lux. This light can influence the human body and may be used therapeutically or preventively. Normal electric lighting is generally insufficient to produce the same therapeutic effects. For example, a well-lit office typically provides a light intensity of approximately 500 lux.

USAGE

Plugging In the Mains Adapter

Switching On the Daylight Therapy Lamp

To switch on the daylight therapy lamp, touch the ON/OFF sensor.

Enjoying the Light

Select your desired setting using the touch sensors on the daylight therapy lamp.

The lamp supports the following applications:

• An application designed to imitate the progression of a sunny day.
• A therapy setting application.

Example of Application to Imitate a Sunny Day

The daylight therapy lamp can be used with its different colour temperature settings to imitate the natural progression of daylight throughout the day. The three available settings are "active", "therapy", and "relax". These settings can be selected to support concentration, light therapy, or relaxation according to individual needs.

Example of application for optimum light during a work day

Therapy Setting Application

Position yourself approximately 20–45 cm from the daylight therapy lamp. You can continue your normal daily activities during application, including reading, writing, and making telephone calls.

• Look briefly towards the light from time to time, as its effects are mediated through the eyes and retina.
• Use the daylight therapy lamp as often as required. However, treatment is generally most effective when light therapy is performed for at least 7 consecutive days, following the recommended application times.
• The therapy application can be performed at different times of the day. The recommended treatment window is between 6:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
• Do not stare directly into the light throughout the entire application period, as this may cause overstimulation of the retina.
• Start with a short application period and gradually increase the duration over the course of a week.

Note:

You may experience eye discomfort or headaches after the first few applications. These symptoms may disappear during subsequent sessions as the nervous system becomes accustomed to the light stimulation. If discomfort persists or worsens, stop using the lamp and seek medical advice.

What You Need to Bear in Mind

A distance of between 20 cm and 45 cm from the face to the daylight therapy lamp is recommended during application. The duration of application depends on the distance between the user and the lamp. Follow the application durations specified in the device's instructions.

Enjoying the Light Over Longer Periods

Repeat the application for at least 7 consecutive days during the darker periods of the year, or for longer depending on your individual needs. Where possible, applications should take place during the morning.

Switching Off the Daylight Therapy Lamp

To switch off the daylight therapy lamp, touch the ON/OFF sensor. The light will go out. Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket.
