These symptoms are often referred to as the winter blues. briteliTE energy light and the winter blues The winter blues are characterized by a combination of the following symptoms: tiredness, lack of energy and trouble getting out of bed in the morning.The winter blues occur during the darker period of the year, i.e. from September until March. More than 60% of the population is troubled by the winter blues. Many health exper ts agree that the winter blues can be counteracted by exposure to bright light. ‘Bright light’ means daylight with a cer tain intensity. In winter, the outdoor light intensity is often much lower than in summer : on a gloomy winter day the light intensity varies between 2,500 and 10,000 lux, whereas this may be as much as 100,000 lux on a bright summer day. Moreover, in winter most people spend a lot of time indoors, either at home or at work, where ar tificial light often has an intensity of as little as 500 lux and sometimes even less. Philips has developed this special lighting appliance for winter blues. This appliance allows you to safely get the amount of light you need to combat the winter blues. Exposure to a personal energy light is generally accepted as one of the safest and most effective ways of fighting the winter blues. general description (Fig. 1) A Lamp B Lamp housing C Control panel 1 On/off button with power-on light 2 Timer button 3 Timed lights D Vents E Handle Using the appliance -It is advisable to star t using the briteLITE energy light as soon as you feel the winter blues coming on or when you feel like you need extra light. -Preferably take your light exposures between 6 o’clock in the morning and 8 o’clock in the evening.
