The SunTouch Plus is an ideal solution for those suffering from mood swings during and after pregnancy, a loss of energy due to age, or a low mood as a result of lack of sunlight, particularly in winter. |
Every SunTouch Plus comes with a built-in Negative Ionizer, which emits odorless, tasteless, microscopic negative ions commonly found in nature that are shown to lift your spirits. |
The light therapy lamp emits a therapeutic 10,000 Lux light to help boost your mood, energy, and concentration without being hard on the eyes. |
Sky Effect capitalizes on a revolutionary scientific discovery of a third receptor in the human eye that is sensitive to light frequencies particularly the wavelength in the "blue spectrum". |
How to Effectively Use Light Therapy
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
The intensity of the light box determines how far to sit from it as well as the length of the time needed to use it. 10,000 lux light boxes usually require only 30 min per session sitting from at least 20 inches away, whereas 2,500 lux light boxes may required up to 20 hours per session. |
Light therapy on average involves 30 min to 2 hour daily sessions. When first using light therapy, start with small increments of time such as 15 min, and then gradually work up to longer periods. For most people, light therapy is most effective if used in the morning. |
Light therapy required time and consistency but it doesn't have to be boring. You can read, use a computer, eat, write, watch television, etc. while using light therapy. |
You may start to feel better within several days of light therapy, if used appropriately (though it usually takes two or more weeks). Persisting with a daily routine can help to maintain those benefits over time. |

This NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp is truly something that helps to balance your body clock in winter, leave your feelings energized, rejuvenated, and simply nice to have at home, especially in winter! The product is amazing and gives a nice natural remedy for winter months and winter cold while boosting the energy levels, in my opinion.
It is really nice & convenient to have such natural product at home whenever you might need it & especially in case your work hours are unique. I also enjoy turning it on in the mornings when waking up and since it is lightweight, I can even move it around a bit when I get ready......
The therapy lamp comes with some beautiful perks such as, timer and others. Consequently, this makes it so wonderful to use on a daily basis & even before going to bed, in case you need some nice little extra shot of energy and fall asleep nice and comfortably without worrying about turning it off or that it will break. You can set a timer for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. The construction is sturdy, solid and relatively lightweight--making it a really convenient product to even carry it around from place to place.
The product dimensions are 9 x 6 x 13 in and the weight is about 1 pound or so. As you can see, this makes it a really wonderful little & lightweight product for me to carry around when needed.
Also, just a side note: when you look at the negative reviews, they do not seem to have a common theme and therefore I was not too worry about it. I would have totally be willing to pay more for this NatureBright "sun touch" and just love how sturdy this product is as well. Like one can see from my photos, I am very excited to show this product and let other people that research products as much as I do, have a thoughtful, full review.
Overall, I cannot thank NatureBright eloquently enough & really believe that my observation of reviews and not buying the first product I saw resulted in this amazing result-this amazing product!!!! Also, as you can see from the pictures, it looks pretty fashionate in my opinion as it has a simple, yet really nice & effective design.
Would recommend this product to anyone & so far, I love this therapy lamp!! Will buy again and will try to refer my friends and family to this product and company because it is not cheap like the other lamps that I have researched and is high quality.

Quick update: This past summer was horribly hot/humid. Did not spend much time outdoors at all.
Went a few years without using it as I'd spent significant time outdoors in spring/summer.
Started using again a few days ago because I started having trouble sleeping. Reset my circadian rhythm quickly. I'm using it now 30 minutes per day. I spent a lot more for it in 2009, the price they have now is a 1/3 of what I paid! Highly recommend!
I purchased the NatureBright SunTouch Plus in the winter. After 4 days, I felt better. More energy, improved mood, less anxiety and it even alleviated my backpain, which I think was associated with the the endorphins kicking in.
I hadn't used it since April, and this summer had been unusually hot and humid, so I have not spent enough time outdoors in the sunshine.
I'd begun having trouble sleeping and feeling a bit "low", and decided to turn on my Lightbox in the morning while having breakfast.
It started to work for me this time on the FIRST DAY. I've been using it now for 2 weeks, and have been feeling great ever since. I'm sleeping better, even dreaming better. It's amazing.
I never knew that there was a Spring/summer type of SAD, but it makes sense, especially if you can not get outside during the warmer months, as was the case with me this year.
This lightbox is very helpful in alleviating the symptoms of not only depression, but anxiety and pain as well. The three can go together, so it only makes sense that if you get rid of one symptom, the others will also be removed.
I am going to use my lightbox year round. It only takes 15-30 minutes per day for me, and what better way to start the day and feel great?
Highly recommend this particular lightbox.
I also love the feature that the LightBox has for the Ions. It's a springlike smell, kind of sweet. Sometimes, I sleep with the Ions on at night. Especially with the Air Conditioners on in this heat, it's nice to still be able to "smell" the outside....it's a nice smell.
-------- UPDATE--------
It's now October. I've been using my lightbox since the summer, when I had the backpain. I'm more energized than ever, and even hiked twice in the last week, 3 hours each time. My energy levels are wonderful, I'm sleeping real well, and I wake up feeling GOOD.
This light works for so many different things, from pain to depression, and even anxiety. I would recommend if you have any of the above, use it all year round.
I don't know, but I like the ionizer smell. It is a sweet smell, just like the first days of spring, when you can catch a whiff of that "certain something" in the air? It is not a chemical smell, but a sweet, spring like smell. I love it:)
--------UPDATE--------
It's December of 2011. Have been using my Lightbox to keep the low mood from coming back, and I continue to get benefits. I use this twice daily in winter, 15 min in the a.m., 15 in the early evening. Twice weekly, I will do a 30 minute morning session, to make sure things stay on track. I've read that it's alright to use year round, for those who don't want to get off track (say during spring, summer, and then forget and get unmotivated to start using their box again.) I find using it every day and staying in the routine works well for me.

If you aren't getting the full benefits, I suggest increasing your duration and/or supplement with Vitamin D.
I also want to add in that around the openings where the ionizer emits ions, there is some blackening that looks like soot. It will not wash off. I no longer no use the ionizer part as I didn't find it very beneficial, so I am not too concerned about this. It looks like it has been an resigned since I purchased mine last year so this may have been addressed.
^
The lamp has helped me a lot. I not only get affected by the SAD or the "winter blues", but any type of dreary weather seems to make me feel fatigued and down. I used it daily in the winter months and as needed on the other days. It isn't a miracle cure for me. I still feel out of sorts, but I do feel better, have more energy, and I can function.
I'm not sure if the ionizer has done anything for me. It makes the air around me feel fresher. I like it keep it turned on when I have the light on. It has a slight smell, but I don't mind the scent.
