SunTouch Plus is powered by Sky Effect™ Technology
Think about how good you feel outside under a cloudless blue sky. Feel that radiance indoors with Nature Bright’s SunTouch Plus! By harnessing the healing powers of the blue sky, this prescription strength light delivers an optimal amount of blue light rated at 17,000 degrees Kelvin, and 10,000 Lux. Our clinically-proven Sky Eect™ Technology, used in the SunTouch Plus and other Nature Bright products, is cool, safe, and comfortable. Its bright light is sure to deliver a therapeutic sense of well­being in any setting.
Clinical studies have shown that by recalibrating Circadian rhythm in your body – from its temperature and hormone secretion to its regular sleep pattern – through light therapy, mood and energy are revived naturally in as little as a few days. The SunTouch Plus is an ideal solution for those suering from mood swings during and after pregnancy, a loss of energy due to age, or a low mood as a result of Seasonal Aective Disorder. So re-calibrate your body’s internal clock and reclaim your energy with the SunTouch Plus.
SunTouch Plus Negative Ionizer
Every SunTouch Plus comes with a built-in Negative Ionizer, which emits odorless, tasteless, microscopic negative ions. These ions are found naturally in the air, particularly after thunderstorms, near a waterfall, or in a forest, and research has shown that they can lift your spirits. Use the Sky Eect™ light and the Negative Ionizer simultaneously, and feel like you’re sitting on the beach on a sunny day.
Get your nature back with Nature Bright’s SunTouch Plus.

Unit Inspection
Read all safety guidelines before using your SunTouch Plus light.
These safety instructions must be observed in order to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injury or damage.
Never use damaged or worn cords or plugs. The use of damaged or worn power cords or plugs could result in electric shock, burns, or re. Do not place heavy objects on top of the cord. When unplugging the unit, grasp the plug directly to avoid damage to the cord. Never pull on the power cord in an attempt to remove a plug from the socket.
Unplug the unit before servicing to eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
SunTouch Plus is designed to allow the front cover to be removed and the bulbs to be changed safely. Any other disassembly will void the warranty.
The lamps get extremely hot. Allow ve minutes for the lamps to cool before handling.
To avoid damage to the light box, do not allow any liquid to contact any part of the light.

Placing the Unit
For the best results, place your SunTouch Plus near you at eye level so its light bathes your face. Many people use SunTouch Plus on a counter or table. You can use the SunTouch Plus as you read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV, or put on make up. Use in a well-lit room to avoid eyestrain. Turn towards the light.
Operating Instructions
Powering Your SunTouch Plus
The SunTouchPlus has been designed with a six and a half foot cord that gives you freedom to move the unit to the most preferred position.
After plugging the cord into a standard electrical outlet, turn the unit on. The SunTouch Plus is turned on and o by a switch located on the right hand side of the unit. The SunTouch Plus comes with two switches. One switch controls the lamp, the other switch controls the ionizer. Each switch works independently giving you more options. Once you are nished with your session, you can turn o the light and still enjoy the benets of the ionizer throughout the day.
Optimizing Your Results
Most people feel a dierence right away and may obtain measurable results in as little as four days. You have to sit fairly close to have an eective session. For optimal
results sit twelve (12) to sixteen (16) inches away. If you have the
SunTouch Plus with the added benet of ionization, you can sit up to eighteen inches away and achieve similar results. For best results, allow the light to bathe your face.

Session Time – First use
Leading researchers recommend thirty minutes of 10,000 LUX (default
settings) everyday. All SunTouch Plus powered lights provide 10,000 LUX, but at varying distances.
Reducing Session Time
After a week or two of using the SunTouch Plus, once your desired results are reached, you can reduce your session time from 30 minutes to 15 minutes per session.
Replacing Bulbs
The bulbs inside the light box usually do not burn out, but rather decrease in intensity overtime. We recommend that you replace your bulbs every two years. Replacement bulbs can be ordered online or by calling Nature Bright’s Service Department.
Post Purchase Service
In the event that your SunTouch Plus does not function properly or one of the bulbs stops working, please call Nature Bright’s Service Department
at 1-800-622-0231 or visit our website at www.naturebright.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to take o my glasses when I use the unit?
Not usually, but if you have transitional lenses that darken when you go outside, you will have to remove them during your session.
2) Do I need to clean the ionizer?
The ionizer doesn’t require internal cleaning. With repeated use you may get some build up around the vent area. This is easily wiped away with a dust cloth.

3) Are there any major side eects?
No. SunTouchPlus is a safe product.
4) Can I get sunburn from using SunTouch Plus?
No. While typical uorescent bulbs produce UV light, SunTouch Plus eliminates almost all measurable UV light.
5) What are the suggested duration times?
Duration times vary according to your needs. Most people will obtain best results using the light in the morning. Sessions can be as short as fteen minutes. A majority of people achieve good results with 30 minutes of usage. You may want to experiment to nd your own personal
optimal duration.
6) Should I use SunTouch Plus every day?
You should use it daily, especially during the winter months. Many people nd that they don’t need the light during the summer. Those working long hours indoors may nd the SunTouch Plus to be eective year round. About 50% of the time, those who need to use morning light nd that they also benet from evening light. If this describes you, make sure to sit about 12 inches further away from your light in the evening to help prevent conicting signals with morning light.
Note:
Minor side eects may include the following: irritability, increase sensation of glare, eye irritation and dryness, headache, nausea, and dryness of skin. Should you encounter any of these side eects, please consult physician. Not for use in people with bipolar aective disorder.
