Daylight TriSun SAD and desk lamp

If short, grey days are making you SAD, this two-in-one light therapy and desk lamp with three colour temperature options is a perfect pick-me-up.

If you suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) there are a number of things you can do to help improve your SAD symptoms, like trying to get as much natural sunlight as possible. If this is not possible, you can use a SAD therapy lamp. 

Some people with SAD find that light therapy can help improve their mood considerably. SAD therapy lamps like the Daylight TriSun produce a very bright light. This light simulates the sunlight that's missing during the darker winter months.

It's thought the light may improve SAD by encouraging your brain to reduce the production of melatonin (a hormone that makes you sleepy) and increase the production of serotonin (a hormone that affects your mood).

The Daylight TriSun is a versatile lamp that can be used as a SAD therapy lamp and as a standard desk lamp.

To use the TriSun as a SAD light, simply raise the shade to its full extent and position it to your side at arm’s length, with the shade – at full brightness – directed towards you. Do not stare into the light, it is sufficient that the light reaches your eyes indirectly. In light therapy mode, the lamp will automatically shut off after 30 minutes.

The TriSun is not only intended as light therapy for SAD, it’s also a great task light. With a CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of over 95 and a large 16.5cm diameter shade, you can be sure of an exceptional light quality and shadow-free, evenly diffused light.

Choose from Daylight 6,000K, Cool light 4,000K and Warm light 2,700K in both the light therapy and desk mode. This highly functional lamp can be customised to your needs; simply adjust the brightness level to your liking using the tactile dimmer switch, move the arm and shade into the perfect position, and charge your phone whenever needed using the built-in USB port.
