Before you buy a light therapy box, please review How to Select a Light Box for a list of light box criteria developed by CET’s Board of Directors and Advisors.
Before you begin using your light therapy box, please review the instructions for the BOXelite OS here.
The BOXelite OS emits diffuse light through its large front panel. The panel is elevated, making it very comfortable and pleasant to use while reading, eating, or working. The unit is bright, delivering 10,000 Lux at a distance of up to 14 inches. Includes 2 height adjustable legs.
A large screen provides a large area with adequate lux (light). This means you can turn your head around naturally as you read or eat breakfast, and still get a therapeutic amount of light. A small screen, on the other hand, has a limited area where the light is therapeutic. This means you must sit very close to the light box, or endure glare, for light therapy to work for you.
