Thank you so much for choosing this Light Box.
In the past few years much research work has been carried out in University College London, and other centres, on the beneficial effect of red light on slowing and reversing the effects of age on our eyes.
All our tissues deteriorate as we get older. Sadly, this applies especially to our eyes and it tends to manifest itself as a lack of sensitivity of our eyes and a worsening of vision in poor light. The ageing process gathers pace from 40.
This has nothing to do with whether we need glasses or not. It is also unrelated to other medical conditions that we may develop as regards our eyes.
The light box enclosed, generates a specific and very long wavelength of red light. This is beyond 670nm wavelength.
It has been shown that by staring at light of this wavelength for 2-3 minutes a day for 2weeks will reverse some of the effects of ageing upon our eyes.
Please note, this will not correct other problems with our eyes. You are still going to need regular check ups at your optometrist and you won’t suddenly be able to throw your glasses away! If you use any eye drops for an eye condition, then please continue to do so.
This being said:
Everyone over the age of 40 gained some benefit.
No side effects were reported after 8 years of studies.
There are three models of light box. They all work in the same way and, most crucially, all have the special LEDs that will generate the wavelength of light that is needed.
Box 1. 20 high performance LEDs.
Entry level, small aluminium, small ABS-plastic, small pine.
Please plug in your box using the adapter provided. Set a timer for 2-3 minutes.
Box 2. 24 high performance LEDs.
Large ABS-plastic, large aluminium, large pine.
Plug your box in as above but depress the button on the top, just once.
The inbuilt timer will activate the lights for the right length of time and will automatically turn off. (you may notice a faint red glow from the timer circuitry, which is normal.)
For All Boxes.
Upon activating your box.
Please stare at the red lights for this time.
Please try to do this before midday each day for two weeks. (The regenerative process works best in the mornings)
Do not exceed this time or be tempted to go on for longer than 2 weeks as if you overdo it then the positive effects lessen and do not increase.
Use your light box 2-3 times each year – forever.
Enclosed
Data sheet for the special LEDs used in the construction. Please don’t be tempted to use bog-standard LEDs as these do not generate light of the correct wavelength.
Copies of digest of the studies being done.
Work is still in progress to see if red light can be used to treat more serious eye conditions such as some forms of macular degeneration and work continues in this area.
Those under the age of 40 will not gain any benefit from using this light box.
Please feel free to discuss with your Optometrist before you use your light box if you have any doubts.
Please feel free to let us have your comments.
Your light box is constructed using leading-edge Taiwanese LEDs which generate the wavelength of light we need.
Only quality components have been used throughout.
In the unlikely event that your box fails, then please contact us and we will be pleased to repair, refund or replace – whichever you prefer.

Summary
No side effects have been reported in over 8 years of trials.
Nobody under the age of 40 gained any benefit.
Everyone over the age of 40 gained some benefit. This will either improve night vision, colour sensitivity or both.
Don’t run your light for longer than 3 minutes and for two weeks.
Longer exposure simply offers less benefit than the correct exposure.
Use your light before midday, if possible, for 14 days consecutively, then stop.
Repeat two or three times each year.
I use mine each morning in a slightly darkened room but otherwise only as above.
Sit about 2 feet away from your box in a slightly darkened room.
A green afterglow is common after using your box. This may last for 5 minutes or longer. If troublesome, then please feel free to either increase the distance from your box or use your box with your eyes closed: or both.
Remember: less is more.
Materials
Currently boxes are made from wood (pine) but others are in production including:
Solid oak
Plastic: the ABS plastics used are tough and resilient and boxes can be made quickly at low cost.
Aluminium cases/enclosures.
All boxes have the same hi-performance LEDs imported from Taiwan and will feature 20-25 LED sources depending upon model chosen.
