How many LUX does The Litebook® provide?
A growing body of research demonstrates that the effectiveness of light therapy is less dependent on the intensity (LUX) of the light source than it is on the wavelength of the light. Numerous research reports on the same peak wavelengths of light emitted by The Litebook® and The Litebook® Elite™ conclude that it is these wavelengths of light that are the ‘action spectrum’ for light therapy. In other words, these wavelengths of light are responsible for increasing energy, improving mood, and restoring sleep patterns. Since the white LEDs in all Litebook® products produce light with peaks in the most effective wavelengths, most users find that they need LESS time (typically 15-20 minutes/day) with Litebook products than they did with larger, 10,000 LUX units. Thus The Litebook® and Litebook® Elite™ emit light that is the equivalent to 10,000 lux at 24 inches.
