Intended use

The Philips EnergyLight is intended to make people feel more energetic, to increase alertness,

and to provide mood relief from the winter blues. If you suffer from severe mood swings or

depression, make sure to consult a professional, and do not use this device for self-treatment.

Light - a natural energizer

Today’s busy modern lifestyles demand peak performance all day long. Even the fittest

person suffers energy dips, particularly when deprived of natural daylight, such as in an office

in winter. Daylight is essential to well-being, keeping fit, and feeling energized throughout the

day – just like healthy nutrition and regular exercise. Philips EnergyLight mimics the natural

energizing power of daylight on a bright sunny day. It stimulates special receptors in the eye

to trigger the body’s natural response to sunlight. This helps you to fight energy dips, to feel

more energetic, active and alert, and to improve your mood.

8English

Sleep patterns

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal

functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate energy, mood, sleep, appetite and digestion.

These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync with nature,

which can have impact on our well-being. Nature’s cues no longer govern our modern

lifestyle. Our day no longer starts at sunrise and ends at sunset, working days are getting

longer, and many people work in shifts. Moreover, our activities often extend well into the

night. Many people tend to get too little sleep during the week, which diminishes their energy

levels during the day. Using Philips EnergyLight at the right time of day can help you establish

and reinforce regular sleep patterns.

Light via eyes

Research shows that bright light via the eyes influences the regulation of our energy level,

mood and sleep/wake cycle. Indoor spaces generally do not provide enough light intensity.

This appliance helps you to be at your best by delivering high quality intense light whenever

and wherever you need it.

Winter blues

Lack of light during the darker winter months causes many people to experience a noticeable

drop in energy level and low spirits as autumn sets in. These symptoms, known as 'winter

blues', may cause you to feel low, listless and fatigued for weeks or even months. This affects

both personal performance and mood. Bright light therapy is a successful method to fight

these winter blues symptoms. It provides your body with summer vitality throughout the dark

winter months.

Using the appliance

When to use

Knowing at what time to use the EnergyLight is essential. It may mean the difference between

feeling better in a few days instead of weeks and between experiencing benefits or

experiencing none.

English

Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects us and when to use the EnergyLight

for the best results.

Duration

Most people experience benefits if they use the appliance 20 to 30 minutes each day. It is

safe to use the EnergyLight longer, provided you do so at the correct time of day. You may

notice some energizing effects of light immediately. Other effects become noticeable after

several days of regular use.

Indoor life and energy dips

If you spend a lot of time indoors with little daylight and artificial light, you can experience the

energizing effects of the Philips EnergyLight very quickly after you switch it on. Many people

experience a natural dip in the afternoon. The EnergyLight can help you counteract this dip.

Winter blues

If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep, and a lower mood in the

dark season compared to spring and summer, use the energy light for 20-30 minutes a day.

Preferably use it in the morning to help you start the day. You may also use it later during the

day, but do not use it in the last few hours before bedtime. If you do, the light could delay

your sleep and make you even less energetic the next day.

Sleep patterns

-Morning persons tend to wake up early in the morning and usually find it difficult to stay

awake in the evening. If you want to get more out of your evening, avoid bright light directly

after waking up and use the EnergyLight in the evening.

-Evening persons find it difficult to get up in the morning and are full of energy in the

evening. If this applies to you, you need morning light. Use the EnergyLight within the first 1

to 2 hours after you get out of bed. Avoid bright light in the last 4 hours before bedtime.

Daily use of the EnergyLight in the morning may help you establish a regular sleep pattern

that allows you to function better in the morning.

Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your normal bedtime, do not

use the EnergyLight immediately after you wake up. This could give your body a signal that is

opposite to the one intended.

---- means: do not use the appliance at this time.

Light intensity

Use the EnergyLight in addition to the normal room lighting. The EnergyLight is more

comfortable to use in a well-lit room. Adjust the brightness to a comfortable level. Allow a few

minutes for your eyes to get used to the bright light. If the highest setting is too bright for you,

start using the EnergyLight at a lower setting. Increase the light intensity if you feel no effect

after a week.

How to use the appliance

1Insert the small plug in the socket on the back of the appliance (Fig. 2).

2Fold out the stand. The stand can be set to a variable angle.

-If you are sitting straight up or standing and the top edge of the appliance is below eye

level, place the appliance in a tilted position so that its light points further upwards and

reaches your eyes (Fig. 3).

-If you are sitting down at a table or desk and the top edge of the appliance is above eye

level, place the appliance in a more upright position (Fig. 4).

3Insert the adapter in a wall outlet (Fig. 5).

4Place the appliance at arm’s length (at approximately 20-30 in./50-75cm from your eyes)

within your field of vision. The light must bathe your face (Fig. 6).

-You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV or exercise while you use the appliance.

-For the best results, place the appliance at the same level as your midriff (stomach area),

e.g. place it on the table at which you are sitting.

-Make sure that the surroundings of the appliance are well-lit for more visual comfort.

Note: Do not stare into the light of the appliance. It is sufficient that the bright light reaches

your eyes indirectly.

5Press the standby button briefly to switch on the appliance (Fig. 7).

-The first time you switch on the appliance, the light comes on at the default middle

intensity setting (setting 3) of 5 intensity settings.

-The next time you switch on the appliance, the light comes on at the last used intensity

setting.

6You can choose five intensity settings, respectively 20%, 30%, 45%, 67% and 100% intensity.

-To choose a lower setting, touch the - button briefly (Fig. 8).

-To choose a higher setting, touch the + button briefly (Fig. 9).

Note: For the best results, use the highest light setting that is comfortable to your eyes.

7The timer indicates the time elapsed from the moment you switch on the appliance.

English

-The indicator has 6 segments. Each segment represents 10 minutes. All segments together

represent one hour.

-After you switch on the light, the first segment of the time indicator bar flashes (Fig. 10).

-After 10 minutes, the first segment lights up solid and the second segment starts flashing

(Fig. 11).

-After 10 more minutes, the second segment lights up solid and the third segment starts

flashing.

-This process continues, until all segments of the time indicator bar light up solid after 1 hour

(Fig. 12).

Note: If you want to turn off the appliance, press the standby button briefly.
