Beurer 2-in-1: Daylight + Moodlight

The Beurer TL100 2 in 1 Daylight (SAD) and Mood Lamp helps stimulate feelings of well being during the darker autumn and winter months. You can control all of the device's functions with the "beurer LightUp" app on your smartphone using Bluetooth Smart. When the hours of daylight are noticeably decreased in autumn and winter and we increasingly stay indoors, the effects of lack of light may negatively affect our mood and sense of well-being. This is often described as Winter Depression. The symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways, such as depression or subdued mood, loss of appetite, listlessness and lack of energy, difficulty concentrating and generally feeling under the weather. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of melatonin, which is released into the blood only in darkness. This hormone tells the body when it is time to sleep. In the months when there is less sunlight, production of melatonin increases, thus making it harder to get up in the morning and increasing our feelings of sleepiness. In addition, light deficiency also hinders production of the happiness hormone, serotonin. By using the Beurer TL100 daylight lamp immediately after waking up in the morning (- i.e. as early as possible), you can help stop the production of melatonin, thus countering sleepiness whilst improving your general mood - use the 5-level treatment time function to set your treatment time for 15, 30, 45, 90 or 120 minutes.. Normal electric light is not sufficient to compensate for reduced daylight - even in a well-lit office the luminance level amounts to around 500 lux. The Beurer TL100 provides a bright light intensity of 10,000 lux, thus compensating for the lack of natural sunlight, and yet the output of radiation beyond the visible spectrum (infrared and UV) is so low that it is harmless to eyes and skin. You can also adjust the intensity of light using the dimmer, which has 10 optional brightness levels, as well as a dimmer memory function. The desired brightness level can be set using the +/- buttons on the side of the lamp - this level should be set so that it is pleasant for the eye during the treatment. When the device is switched off, the last level that was set is saved. When the device is next switched on, it restarts with the saved brightness level. The device can also be used up to brightness level 5 as a reading lamp. To further enhance your mood during the day or night, the mood light also offers the option of 256 colours, so you can subtly alter the ambience of a room as desired. This SAD lamp offers exceptionally even illumination, and meets the requirements of the European Directive 93/42/EEC and 2007/47/EEC Medical Devices as well as the Medical Devices Act. Uses LED energy-saving technology.
