SunSprite
Quick Start Guide
How to Use SunSprite
• SunSprite is always on.
• Clip and wear SunSprite in a place that gets about the same
amount of light your eyes do. The front of your body is ideal.
• SunSprite is solar-powered—you never need to plug it in.
• To see your progress or to sync with the phone app, simply
press the button on the side.
What is bright light? Why is it important?
• Getting the right amount of bright light is as effective as anti-
depressants, but with no side effects (Golden et al., 2005).
• Research shows we need 10,000 lux light for 30 minutes each
day to treat mood and sleep disorders.
• Bright light that enters your eyes affects your mood and sleep.
Note that this is different from UV and skin exposure.
• Only light brighter than 2,500 lux is therapeutic.
• Weather and sun position make tracking light complex—that’s
why we invented SunSprite!
