Vitalit Ergonomic Desk Lamp Product Details
Vitalit Ergonomic Desk Lamp has two main functions, which are as a high-quality desk lamp and as a bright light therapy lamp. The very high illuminance of max 10,000 lux is beneficial for both uses. The maximum brightness of the lamp is many times higher than that of circadian lamps. Even at a distance of 30 cm the brightness is 2,500 lux.
Bright light therapy should not be confused with lamps simulating the circadian daylight rhythm without the bright light efficiency. The main difference can be seen as:
- Circadian daylight-rhythm lamp concentrates on simulating the rhythm
- Vitalit concentrates on daylight light simulation in user-chosen periods
When being used as a desk lamp, Vitalit provides the following benefits and features:
- High illuminance of up to 10,000 lux
- Dimmability in 4 steps
- 4 colour temperatures of 3,000, 4,300, 4,600 and 6,500 K
- USB port for charging mobile phones and other electronic devices
When being used in bright light therapy mode, Vitalit provides the following benefits and features:
- Increased vitality and work efficiency
- Maintenance of a positive mood
- Decreased chances of fatigue, exhaustion and various sleep disorders
The lamp offers an adjustable arm, allowing you to conveniently adjust it to your needs.
Ergonomic Benefits
During the darker months of the year, when natural light decreases our bodies make adjustments and biological activities change. This condition is known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or SUB SAD, a milder form of SAD, or winter blues. This condition affects many people and can lead to decreased efficiency, loss of vitality and even depression.
Scientific research has shown that as the amount of natural light decreases, the body may physiologically respond by adjusting certain hormone levels and biological activities. The effects of these adjustments may include:
- Intense fatigue, exhaustion and various sleep disorders
- Increased appetite leading to weight gain
- General passivity and depression
- Decreased work efficiency and loss of vitality
A typical sunny day may produce light of 50,000-100,000 lux, whereas indoors this light may be as little as 100-200. An effective bright light therapy session requires the eyes to be exposed to at least 2,500 lux.
Via the retina and the optic nerves, the light affects the brain’s light-sensitive region (suprachiasmatic cellkernel), which adjusts the body’s physiological cycles in accordance with the rhythm of day and night. The light reduces the amount of the sleep hormone melatonin, secreted by the pineal gland. Melatonin is a key factor in the regulation of alertness and sleep cycles, but also in the prevention of SAD.
Bright light therapy helps you alleviate these problems and regain vitality. The bright light device is designed to treat a person who suffers from lethargy and depression. This condition is known as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or a milder form of SAD called SUB SAD. If the symptoms are severe, they should be treated under medical supervision.
