Our environment is made up by
various factors and creatures, which make incalculable contributions to our
happiness and dynamic living. Sunlight is one such blessing of nature, which
helps us plan and conduct outdoor activities and provides us with the essential
ingredients for our life; such as heat, light and vitamins (made by sunlight).
Every day, sun rises and as per the natural course of action, it has to set in
the west at a particular time. When sunlight goes away, some people get
panicked in the absence of sunlight. The feeling is named as SAD or seasonal
affective disorder which creates a sort of phobia in the patient's mind that
his energy is fading away. You may want to check out seasonal affective disorder for more.
In order to treat the patients, a
variety of treatment tactics are employed. However, the most successful one is
called as 'light therapy'. This therapy ignited scientists to invent SAD light
produced by SAD lamps. The lamp (also known as the SAD light box) is a
specialized item, which is typically designed for medical purposes. These are
unlike other ordinary lamps that we use in our household work. There is one
very special thing about these lamps, and that is the reality that these lamps
are made up of technology which enables them to produce the light, resembling
daylight.
In earlier days, they were
available in larger shapes and designs; however, with rapid innovation and technological
advancement, they are available in various sizes and capacities. Those people
who have SAD light boxes with them, they can use them for general purposes,
like; for book reading, studying, a writing table etc. However, their core area
of usage is medical solutions, and as per research, there are no side effects
of using these lamps. An ordinary lamp of this nature produces 10,000 lux
light, which is required for the patient and that is designed to pour in such a
way, that it resemble the outdoors or sunlight.
These lamps can not only be used
alone, but also can be backed up by stands. If you are to judge the capacity of
a typical SAD lamp, just imagine that it is a set of 4,000 Kelvin fluorescent
bulbs that ultimately produces 10,000 lux of light. There is also another
option of two way adoption and lighting in some of the latest models. If
properly used, the lamps can be very effective in dealing with SAD problems.
