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.

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.
My sister loves me for this

My sister moved from Texas to Ohio where she has experience SAD from the months and months of snow up there. I saw this and mailed it to her and now my little sister LOVES me! She said it has helped her so much and she is not as sad with her SAD.

I suffer from Seasonal Depression and have used other light boxes. This is the best so far. It's not too big, easy to move from one room to the next, has UV shielding, and a timer. Even my cat seems to like it. The bottom line is that it has almost eliminated my Seasonal Depression. I have already recommended it to a few people.
Not SAD anymore

My daughter suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I wanted to help but we live hundreds of miles apart. I ordered this therapy lamp for her home & along with medical therapy, it works! Her depression is gone. Maybe next year she can prevent the problem & avoid the drugs.
It works!

I live in Alaska, and during the Winter time it is dark most of the day. I am normally an active happy person, but I was finding myself very tired. I would come home from work and all I felt like doing was going to sleep. Someone suggested that I might be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. So I thought I would purchase this sun lamp and see what happened. I put it on my desk at work, and use it 30 minutes first thing in the morning and then another 30 minutes around 2 in the afternoon. I noticed a difference in about a week or so. I had more energy and am now actually able to stay awake and get a few things done around the house. The light is definitely bright, but pleasant.
