Halt Melancholy Moods

It is postulated that some people lack the photoreceptors to stop the production of Meletonin, the hormone that puts us to sleep. So you feel groggy day and night without relief. Our biological clock was made with a unique blue sky detection system to keep our circadian rhythms in sync. Use our light to give you the extra blue light you need.

Wake up Easy.

Or use a simple timer (available separately) to turn the light on before you need to wake up. When I do this, I find that I am refreshed and ready to jump out of bed when the alarm rings.

GO BLUE for MAXIMUM RESULTS

Now recent research indicates that it is only the blue portion light spectrum that is efficacious in treating SAD. All that’s necessary is for this blue light to enter the eye and strike non visual photo receptor pigment melopsin. This is a land mark discovery in human photobiology.

But it may make sense in that we were made to detect blue skylight to synchronize our circadian rhythms.

On the other hand, preliminary data seems to indicate that yellow light may actually override the effect of blue light.

As a result, very low 400 lux intensities of pure blue light were found to have comparable results to glaring 10,000 lux white light boxes.

Don’t Burn Your Eye’s Out!

The standard treatment for Winter Blues/ Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) calls for staring into 10,000 lux light source. No wonder people complain of headaches! Ten thousand lux is a blindingly bright light.

It’s so bright that most people tend to look away from the light. What’s the use of having a light that is too bright to look at? It’s self defeating!

While the melopsin photo receptor is very sensitive to blue light, your eye’s don’t necessarily “see” this blue light particularly well. The visual receptors in the eyes are not particularly sensitive to blue light.

The eye is most sensitive to yellow green light. In fact, the visual system of the eye is only 5% as sensitive to blue light as it is to yellow green. This is fortunate as you can pour lots of blue light through the eye’s with out causing excessive glare.

BLUE LIGHT Alleviates Yellow Jaundice Too!

The most common medical application of blue light is to cure yellow jaundice. Jaundice is a yellow color in the skin, the mucous membranes, or the eyes. The yellow pigment is from bilirubin, a byproduct of old red blood cells. Most babies experience Jaundice a week after they are born. Adults sometimes have problems metabolizing bilirubin too.

With jaundice, the important thing to prevent is kernicterus -- toxic levels of bilirubin accumulating in the brain. Early identification and treatment of jaundice will usually prevent kernicterus, whatever the cause.

Jaundice in an infant, child, or adult should be medically evaluated. Call your doctor if jaundice is present. Unfortunately in the local community, it was too late for one child. He became mentally retarded, and his sibling needs daily light treatments.

This fixture does contain the same bulbs used in infant light treatment units. BUT IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS USE.

However if natural disaster prevents transportation to medical treatment, I suppose this unit could be used on an emergency basis. I can’t say if it would be useful to prevent milder cases or beneficial for those of us who have our children at home. Only use under a doctor’s direction.
