Blue Lux Light Therapy

If you suffer from SAD or seasonal affective disorder, you may be interested in learning more about blue lux light therapy. Seasonal affective disorder is a form of depression that occurs during the winter months. This is why you will often hear SAD referred to as the winter blues. Light therapy systems are some of the most effective treatments for this disorder. You can find lamps, light boxes and other devices that can be used at home. Light therapy gives you the same benefits you would receive from full spectrum sunlight.


The Blue Lux light combines a blue spectrum wave length with high intensity which creates a stronger and faster response to light than many other full spectrum lamps and light boxes. So what does this mean for you? Well, just consider that patients with SAD used to have to sit in front of a light box for up to two hours while the Blue Lux technology takes only 15 minutes. Another thing that is different when it comes to Blue Lux is the distance you have to be from the device. Old fashioned light boxes require you sit within a few feet of them. With Blue Lux, all you have to do is be in the same room.

For around $429 you can own a Sun-A-Lux Blue Lux Light Box for your home. This unit features an output of 10,000 Lux, shielding to reduce EMF fields, a 5 year limited warranty on the box and a 2 year limited warranty on the bulbs. In addition this device is UL approved and comes complete with full instructions for use. The bulbs in this unit last approximately five years before needing to be replaced. If this product is a bit out of your price range there are others you might want to consider.

The Sun-A-Lux mini gives you Blue Lux light therapy in a smaller, more affordable device. This unit costs only $180 which is around half the full size model. You get all the same quality and craftsmanship in a smaller unit. If you are interested in light therapy for SAD, the first thing you should do is consult with your doctor. He or she may want to monitor your progress or try other treatments in conjunction with light therapy.
