Operation
Instructions for Use
Light therapy consists of sitting close to the HappyLite open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing, needlepoint, applying makeup, painting, or working at your computer or desk.
1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few minutes for the bulb to achieve full brightness.
®
2. The HappyLite
Mini should be positioned 5-18 inches from your eyes, and should be slightly offset from center (see diagram) Note: It is
not necessary to stare directly at the light.
The light from the HappyLite® Mini must be directed at your eyes; therefore, your eyes must be open to achieve the full benefi t. Note: Tinted glasses reduce the
amount of light reaching your eyes.
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit closer to the light, or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you experience edginess, or are over stimulated, move the light further away or reduce usage time.

Optimum time depends upon how your body uniquely responds to light. Typical recommended usage time is 1 to 6 hours per day. Ideally, the HappyLite should be used fi rst thing in the morning. Note: We recommend limiting use
during the evening.
Different exposure strategies work best for different people. It is important to establish a distance and schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light regularly and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini sessions. Continue to use the HappyLite® daily until you feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.

Troubleshooting
Before requesting service on your Verilux® lamp, please read the following:
• Make sure all power connectors, cords, and plugs are inserted fully and securely.
• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket. (See pages 6 and 7)
• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet or try another outlet – one that is not connected to a dimmer.
PROBLEM CHECK SOLUTION
Light won’t
come on
Blackening/darkening
at ends of bulb
Light Flickers
Has the plug come loose?
Is the bulb old?
Is the bulb connected securely into socket?
Is the bulb new?
Is the bulb old?
Has the plug come loose?
Is the bulb connected securely to the socket?
Is the lamp connected to a dimmer switch?
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb installation process.
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.
With older bulbs darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life. (This doesn't affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement is recommended.
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb installation process.
Connect lamp plug only to wall outlet without dimmer switch.
