Product Description: There are a few things humans can't live without. Water, food and air are obvious ones, but just as important is sunlight. Often associated with stress, the effects of sunlight deprivation include extreme fatigue, restless sleep, loss of energy, decreased sex drive, and even weight gain due to an increase in appetite. With the winter approaching these symptoms are likely to stay with sunlight becoming scarcer. Luckily, there's an all-natural, non invasive way to get rid of the winter doldrums - the portable Litebook Elite, from The Litebook Company Ltd. - the new generation of light therapy.

The Litebook Elite, which produces wavelengths of light identical to the peak wavelengths of the sun without the harmful UV rays, is the world's first hand-held light therapy device that provides a simple, safe and effective solution to symptoms brought about by sunlight deprivation. No bigger than a portable CD player, the sleek Litebook Elite is a welcome alternative to the traditional light box. Because of its compact size and built-in rechargeable lithium-ION battery feature, the Litebook Elite is easy to use; it can be placed on a desk or vanity, or tucked away in a purse or briefcase. That means it can be used while reading, eating, applying make-up, working at a computer or desk, or even in the gym.

Due to its patented white light LED (light emitting diode) technology, the Litebook Elite has several advantages over traditional light boxes. First, it's the smallest light box on the market: It literally fits in the palm of your hand. Second, it uses only one tenth the energy of a conventional light box. Third, it has a life span up to 100,000 hours - that's an impressive 12 years if left on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And perhaps most importantly, the Litebook Elite gives off light that peaks in the exact blue wavelength that we humans need for physical and emotional well being without the harmful UV. Since the Litebook Elite gives off more of the blue and green wavelengths than traditional light boxes, it provides the same benefits in less time. The Litebook Elite's therapeutic light is equivalent to 10,000 LUX in minutes of use.

* We encourage use of The Litebook Elite while engaged in other activities, such as reading, eating, applying makeup or working at a computer or desk. However, take care that the Litebook Elite is not brought into contact with water or heat producing appliances as they may damage the Litebook Elite and may pose possible fire hazards.
* If you have a history of eye disease including, but not limited to, macular degeneration, have undergone laser corrective eye surgery in the past 30 days, or if you are currently taking any medications including certain antibiotics which render you photosensitive (extremely sensitive to light), consult with your ophthalmologist or health care provider before using this product.

Light therapy may change the effect of these types of medications.
* Occasionally mild side-effects may occur which usually resolve after a few days of use, including headaches or a "stinging" sensation in the eyes. If these or any other adverse effects not listed do not resolve after three days discontinue use of the Litebook Elite and consult your health care provider. On very rare occasions and usually only with over use, less than 1% of users may experience mania (periods of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive or irritated mood). If this occurs, discontinue using the Litebook Elite immediately.
