Luminette - SAD Light Therapy Glasses

Product Description

White light enhanced with blue light for greater effectiveness. Luminette glasses emit blue-enriched white light wavelengths peaked at 468 nm. It has been scientifically proven that wavelength of blue light is the most effective at simulating sunlight. This triggers your body’s positive response to simulated sunlight. Luminette LED’s have been specifically selected to avoid wavelength of blue light below 450 nm; these LED’s emit only beneficial light. Importantly Luminette is deemed "eye-safe" according to international standard CEI 62471. The basis of Light Therapy is the science of Chronobiology – Chronobiology studies the circadian rhythms of the human body – these rhythms fluctuate through the whole day & influence your mind (sleepiness & attentiveness) at regular intervals – your circadian rhythm is an internal clock running in the background of your brain. Who can benefit from light therapy?“I lack energy during the winter” Maybe it’s winter or because you can’t get out in the sun, you suffer from a lack of natural light. Do you suffer from "winter blues" or SAD? No energy Fed up & dreading the dark winter evenings Compulsive nibbling Difficulty in getting up in the morning Reduced libido The Luminette reproduces the affects of the sun & stimulates specific receptors in the eyes, these activate the body's energy in response to light. It will help you feel fitter, active & alert & be in a better mood. When should I use the Luminette? Use the Luminette as soon as possible after waking.“I’m a teenager & have difficulty falling asleep & can’t wake up in the morning” Are you focussed on social media, gaming or streaming & do you have difficulty in getting to bed at a normal time? You cannot get to sleep early. But you need to get to school or Uni & you are more & more tired. You may have a "delayed sleep phase syndrome" or "early night insomnia". The Luminette copies the "synchronising" effects of the sun, thereby regulating your biological clock. If you wear it at the right time, it will help you to fall asleep earlier. No more problems waking up & better daily energy levels! When should I use the Luminette? We advise you to use the Luminette as soon as possible after waking.“I’m tired in the early evening, falling asleep in front of the tv” Do you find it difficult to stay awake in the evening & often wake up in the middle of the night? You suffer from "advanced phase" or "drowsiness in the early evening". The Luminette reproduces the "synchronising" effects of the sun, thereby regulating your biological clock. If you wear it at the right time, it will help you to fall asleep later in the day & enjoying your evenings. When should I use the Luminette? Use the Luminette in the late afternoon or the early evening, 2 to 3 hours before your bedtime“I work night shifts & I sleep badly” Night shifts affect over 10% of us & the consequences of night shift work for health quite serious: problems with sleeping, difficulties in social life, loss of concentration, reduced wakefulness (sometimes causing accidents), & other more serious disorders in the long term. If you work more than three consecutive night shifts using the Luminette at the right time will allow you to feel more awake at work. If you use of the Luminette along with glasses that filter blue light during your return home in daylight, you should sleep better & longer. When should I use the Luminette ? Use the Luminette just before you start work. If you feel drowsy, we recommend a second session during the night.“I travel a lot & want an effective solution for jet lag” You frequently fly long haul (more than 3 time zones) & you are fed up with jet lag: insomnia, drowsiness, physical & mental tiredness, moodiness, finding it hard to concentrate etc. Here are some useful tips: During the flight Set your watch to the time at your destination, drink plenty of water & cut down on alcohol, coffee & tea. On arrival If you are travelling East, we advise you to avoid sunlight on arrival (by wearing glasses that filter blue light or sun glasses with a high protection index) in the morning & to wear the Luminette in the afternoon (if you can, get into the daylight) in order to maintain a low level of melatonin. Over the following days, move your session forward by 2 hours each day, taking care not to go past your normal waking time. It’s taken 4 years of research to create this innovative device There are plenty light therapy devices. They look like a lamp or a light box & are in all sizes. Their features (intensity, light spectrum) vary from one model to another. But these light therapy lamps are not very practical to use, take up space & require long periods, sitting, staring & doing nothing. Which is what makes Luminette a great step forward. It took a team of Inventors, University Professors, Sleep Disorders Specialists, Optical Engineers & Ergonomic Designers to invent Luminette. & in 2017 it was awarded " Most Innovative Mental Health Device of the Year" at the International Congress on Encephalitis. Research Studies: Luminette® is just as effective as using a 10, 000-lux light box The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of Luminette on performance, mood, & alertness compared to an already clinically tested & proven 10, 000 lux light box (Philips Energy Light).68% of Luminette users reported an improvement in the quality of their sleep The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of using Luminette on adolescents who were suffering from Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS).58% of users of Luminette noticed their energy levels increase & felt their level of fatigue was reduced. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of using Luminette on workers who did not have access to daylight. Using Luminette after lunch is just as beneficial as having an afternoon nap. This study examined the effect of using Luminette after lunch compared to having an afternoon nap Light exposure via a Luminette improves vigilant attention The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the use of Luminette on the secretion of melatonin. Luminette seem to be a feasible & highly acceptable method for the treatment of adolescent depression. This study examined the effect of using Luminette on adolescent’s mood Caution: Whilst wearing Luminette, we recommend that you don't: Shower or take a bath Drive Engage in vigorous physical activity (e.g. running).VAT Exempt Declaration For customers selecting the VAT exempt price: This product is a VAT exempt product when purchased for use on a chronic or disabling condition such as arthritis, osteoarthritis or sciatica, provided you have suffered with the condition for at least 3 months.
