IntroductIon

Congratulations for purchasing this DAYVIA light

therapy lamp.

Used in correct conditions, it will enable you to regain

the light that you are lacking.

For certain people, the lack of light can cause various

symptoms :

-irritability and sullen mood

-significant increase in appetite

-decrease of activity and the efficiency at work due

to a lack of energy

-sleeping disturbances, chronic tiredness

-sexual disturbance (loss of libido)

Many international studies show that light therapy

contributes to regaining energy, form, ability to

concentrate and good mood, the same that you get

whilst sunbathing.

The light therapy lamp also contributes to calming

the sleeping rhythm for people who do night shifts,

people who suffer from delayed sleep phase syn-

drome (falling asleep late and difficulties waking up

in the morning) or advanced sleep phase syndrome

(waking up too early) or people who travel and go

across many time zones (jet-lag).

The effect of the light depends on its intensity but

especially on its spectral curve (colour).

Indeed, some receptors located in our eyes are very

sensitive to a light whose colour ranges between 460

and 480 nm (blue), they play a major part in our bio-

logical clock.

So a monochromatic blue light can prove to be as

DAYVIA notice Slimstyle151112.indd 16-17

efficient as a much more intense white light.

Therefore your device offers two possibilities which

are as efficient as each other :

an intense white light

a monochromatic blue light

Please read this user's guide attentively in order to

benefit from all the advantages of your DAYVIA lamp.

PrecautIons

The light therapy lamp must be used in an environ-

ment lit by another source of light, the lamp is com-

plementary to normal light (electric or natural light).

Contrary to natural daylight or to other lamps on the

market, this light therapy medical device diffuses no

UV rays.

Studies have shown that light therapy can be used

in safety (for example your light therapy lamp diffuses

a specific blue light or an intense white light – up to

10 000 lux for the white one, whereas on a beach in

the summer, the light can reach up to 100 000 lux as

well as harmful rays such as UV of which your lamp

is devoid).

Nevertheless, before starting your treatment, please

consult your general practitioner if :

-You suffer or have suffered from depression

-You are hypersensitive to light

-You suffer from an eye illness

-You suffer from a mental condition

-You are undergoing a treatment with psychotropic

or photo-sensitizing medication

If you encounter any problems (for example hea-

daches or eye tiredness) after the use of the light the-

rapy lamp, please tell your general practitioner. Often,

all you have to do is start the treatment with shorter

sessions (10 minutes) and gradually increase them

each day until the recommended duration.

turnInG on/oFF

The Dayvia Slim Style lamp is carefully controlled

before packaging and expedition.

You will find the user's guide, the power supply unit

and your lamp in the package.

We recommend you keep the packaging, in case

return is necessary, else it must be disposed of in

accordance with your country's regulations.

Here are the different steps to turn on your DAYVIA

light therapy lamp :

1. Insert the male connector of the lamp onto the

female connector situated on the supplied power

supply unit.

2. Check that the voltage indicated on the power

supply unit corresponds to the local sector voltage,

then plug in the device.

3. Turn on the lamp, in a lit environment, using the

on/off

switch located at the top of the lamp (when

the lamp is in the vertical position).

You can then adjust the intensity with the + and –

buttons next to the on/off switch.

When you press on the switch once, you will get an

intense white light which is very efficient from a thera-

peutic perspective. You can reduce its intensity with

the – button, the light will become warmer and war-

mer for back-up lighting. When you press on the on/

off switch a second time, you will get a low-intensity

monochromatic blue light which is as efficient as the
