Experience a powerful healing mixture of 10,000-lux light therapy along with negative ion therapy with this safe, soothing, and measurably impressive light therapy system. The Sun Touch Plus Lamp and Ionizer bathes you in daylight like light while at the same time releasing healthful negative ions into the atmosphere. Elevate the spirits with this unique mixture that counterbalances your body clock, leaving you to feel rested, and refreshed.
NatureBright captures nature's therapeutic rays in a desirable and lightweight home lighting package. Light and ions merge in order to elevate your mood, stabilize your own internal rhythms. Thirty minutes each day brings about a marked change in your spirits, slumber cycles, in addition to focus, and can alleviate the uneasy symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). In some cases, it's also possible to lessen the effects of debilitating and prolonged menstrual cycles, all without medication or adverse side effects.
The Sun Touch Plus sends out energizing, therapeutic rays, using 10,000-lux Sky Effect light while simultaneously releasing streams of negative ions. This produces identical fresh air you feel by a waterfall or from an ocean breeze. The actual Science Behind NatureBright has been devloped because scientific researchers have identified a groundbreaking new light receptor in the eye's retina that interprets signals in light rays, and sends the related information to sections of our brain which stimulate hormone secretion along with body rhythms. The Sun Touch Plus' Sky Effect lamps emit an optimal blue light which best stimulates these kinds of receptors, which inturn send signals to neurological receptors, energizing vital centers in the body. Although this light seems normal to human eyes, its special frequency tackles winter SAD, sleep conditions, poor moods, and even jet lag.

Reviewer: Joan Forgeng,
I bought this light for my adult son. It worked only a day or two. The company e-mailed me back to state that I can return it for a refund or a new light. It turns out the company is in UK, but the return address is Calif....so I am in the process of trying to figure out where to send it.
Worth every penny

I bought my light about 4 1/2 years ago because my psychologist recommended getting one. (Even in Texas SAD can be an issue....I am very sensitive to the amount of sunlight I get.) After lots of online research, I chose this one because of price, aesthetics,and the negative ion. Last winter I did not use my light and I think it made such a huge difference in how I felt because I did not use it. I have gone back to it and within just a few days, I am able to get up in the morning and feel like I am ready to go. Without it, I can barely get up in the morning to get to work. The negative ionizer does have a unique smell but I enjoy it. At first I thought it was weird but then I could almost sense the ocean in the air. I use it for 30-45 minutes a day and since I deal with depression all year long, I probably ought to use it all year long! I would definitely buy another.
A MUST BUY!!!

I have suffered with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for about 20 years and have heard about light box therapy for quite awhile, but was always skeptical. This year has been the worst winter for a lot of us, so I desperately needed to try something else (anti-depressants weren't working). I read tons of reviews on all the light boxes offered on Amazon and this seemed to be the cheapest and highest rated. They say it can take up to two weeks to see results and some people were experiencing results in just 4 days. I saw a HUGE difference in just a few days, and it's only gotten better! I'm no longer taking any anti-depressants and am the happiest I've ever been! Everyone around me has seen an improvement in my mood. I sit in front of the box for 30 minutes in the morning while getting ready (you don't have to look directly at it); it's become part of my daily routine. I STRONGLY recommend this product!!! People were saying the ion was too much for them, so I never have turned it on. This product comes with a guide that tells you when and how long to sit in front of the light, which is dependent on what you are accomplishing: SAD, sleep disorders, etc. Light therapy was recently on the news and is proven to not only help with those two disorders, but improve overall health.

This was the year that I FINALLY decided to do something about my seasonal affective disorder. I started using the light for 30 minutes every morning, and it made a big difference. I felt more awake during the day. The biggest change I noticed was in my carb craving. I no longer wanted to eat only cereal all the time.
When I first got my light, I LOVED the negative ion flow too! I would leave it on a lot, because I just loved the feeling & smell of fresh air. However, after a couple weeks it stopped working. :( I guess I could send the light back. I didn't want to send it back while the weather was still so dreary, because I didn't want to be without it for too many days, but maybe I will now that it's Spring.
I think the light is a pretty good size. I put it on my desk next to my computer and turn it on while I'm checking email or studying in the morning. Not the prettiest fixture in our house, but it's not bad at all, and we can easily put it away if someone's coming over.
I could tell the difference in my mood after using the light for about a week, but I still had occasional down days. I think this is because I didn't start using it until mid-late January. Next year, I'll start using it in September or October.
Works very well!

I don' usually review purchases, but I'd like to do so for this product since it may work for some people who are suffering from disorders related to the Circadian rhythm. I've been working at a hospital for more than twenty years and I've recognized more and more people have started to suffer from sleeping disorders, seasonal affective disorder etc. due to a change of life style (including myself). To remain in good healthy condition, our body clock needs to be reset by morning sunlight through our eyes and ideal ambiance for a good night's sleep, but it has been harder for modern individuals to achieve this goal.
This light helps those people reset their body clock and stay in an ideal health condition. You could visit your doctor for this kind of treatment, but it's a lot easier if you can do it at home. This product helps alleviate unpleasant symptoms like fogginess, sleepiness, fatigue and so on during the daytime. It's preferable to use it for thirty minutes early in the morning around seven to eight for insomnia and seasonal affective disorder to reset your body clock, though the treatments vary for individuals.
As for my experience, I saw improvement within a week. Just make sure you use it in correctly; the booklet in the box kindly gives directions how to use it depending on your symptoms as "Parameters for Using the SunTouchPlus." For instance, there are 'winter SAD,' 'shift work fatigue,' 'jet lag,' and so on. You are also told that you can reduce session time once you reached a desirable result.
Replacement bulbs are also available.
Also you really don't need to stare at the light; I place it on the table while watching the morning news on TV (or the computer) and sipping coffee. The booklet tells you how far and at what angles from your face to use it. Though it's made in China (the company is in Irvine, CA in the USA), it's sturdily built and I have had no problems so far.
There is also an ionizer function; ions are said to be good for relaxing, clearing the mind and so forth just like you are walking in the woods (trees are known to be a source of negative ions). (You can learn more about the effects of ions online, but please note that this is still a debatable issue, though our hospital used the ion therapy idea.) To some individuals, the distinctive odor of ions may smell annoying like plastic as some reviewer mentioned, but it's not anything wrong with this machine. I'm fine with the aroma. Good thing is you don't need to clean the ionizer; just wipe the outside of the slits where ions come out. And if you don't want ions, you can simply switch them off. Just make sure you turn the ionizer off after you use it, because the ionizer is not connected to the timer that you use when you activate the light.
Overall, I'd recommend this light to patients who suffer from minor symptoms due to Circadian rhythm disturbances. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
