What is a SAD Lamp?
SAD lamps provide a balanced spectrum light equivalent to
standing outdoors on a clear day. Use of a SAD lamp can make
up for any light deficiency that you may otherwise be experiencing.
What are the symptoms
of Seasonal Affective Disorder?
The symptoms are varied but are generally associated with
low spirits, changing appetite or weight, sleep problems or
lack of energy. These symptoms are often referred to as 'Winter
Blues'.
Can anyone use the
SAD Lamp?
Yes, although the SAD Lamp should not be used if laser corrective
eye surgery was carried out within the last 30 days, or if
medication is being taken which renders the user photosensitive
(extremely sensitive to light).
Are there any side-effects?
After the first few uses, some eye strain or light headache
may be experienced due to the body's adjustment to the light,
such side-effects tend to disappear quickly.
