NEW! As seen in the Daily Mail Portable personal light therapy box available VAT free for Seasonal Affective Disorder.. Most people who suffer from the winter blues respond well to regulated bright light therapy. However, conventional light boxes can be bulky and might need to be used for up to an hour-and-a-half- to have any effect. The new Litebook® fits in a handbag and is the only totally portable LED light therapy product on the market. Using the Litebook® for as little as 15 minutes a day can be enough to lift your mood. Light therapy is clinically proven* to be effective in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder and more effective than fluoxetine (Prozac), with a more rapid onset and a lack of side effects. The Litebook® is available VAT free if you suffer from S.A.D or subsyndrome S.A.D. How to use:
Light therapy for winter blues usually consists of 15 to 60 minutes of bright light every morning as early as possible upon waking - ideally before 8am.
Position the Litebook® approximately 12 to 24 inches (30-60cm) from your face and offset it to a 30 to 45 degree angle, like sunlight coming in a window, directing the Litebook's® light beam at your eyes.
Find a routine that works best with your schedule. You may find it easiest to get your light while eating breakfast, exercising, applying makeup or while working at the computer. Some people find a second exposure of bright light in the middle of the afternoon gives them an extra boost of energy to make it through the day. Don't use it in the evening as it could interfere with your normal sleep time.
Everyone is unique in his or her light needs; you may have to try different exposure times to find your best level. *2003-2005 a controlled trial of Litebook light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy device for treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

| | Beginning each autumn I start winding down with life-draining fatigue, inability to get started at work or play; want just to fall back into bed for more and more sleep... In the short time that I used the Litebook I've started to feel like I've emerged from a long hibernation and actually felt up to entertaining. Normally I gain weight every winter. Last yeer I did not while using the SAD light.I purchased your Litebook this winter and noticed a significant improvement in mood, energy and motivation Susan P., Canada | |
| | I think your product is great and a wonderful innovation over the traditional large bulky lightbox Doug G. | |
| | After the Xmas holidays I was feeling absolutely awful. In addition to SAD I also have CFS and fibro. I bought a Litebook out of desperation and started using it straight away. I immediately noticed a difference in how I felt. I mean immediately. Within an hour. Thank you for your product Treva G. | |
| | I heard of other SAD lamps but they were too huge for my little apartment. I've only been using the Litebook for 3 months and I've already weaned off the antidepressants prescribed for me this summer. The miracle is that January is my absolute worst month. If I'm going down the tubes it would be about now, but I feel fantastic! I do 30 minutes of light therapy each morning at breakfast and the little Litebook doesn't even get in the way. This is an incredible product! Deb, Canada | |
| | Hello. I just bought the Litebook this past Saturday and noticed a difference in my mood and a heightened alertness after using it yesterday morning for the first time. Thank you Litebook. Monica, Victoria BC | |
