Question 1

Is the technology flicker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I don't know about the whole therapy aspect, but this is the single best task light I've ever found. The light is both glare and flicker free, and easy on the eyes. One thing they don't make very clear is that it has a brighter therapy setting and a lower task light setting. It will only stay on the therapy setting for so long, then one of the two bulbs clicks off. There is still an amazing amount of light left as a task light, but it can be worrisome when your brand new light does something odd. :)

Question 2

How long do light bulbs last when you use it 30 minutes a day?  How quickly can you get the new light bulbs from the company? Available elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

The bulbs are rated for 8,000 hours, but the intensity does degrade over the bulb life.  Therefore, you should replace the bulbs every two years, based on your usage, to maintain the same lux rating.  However, even though the lux level drops over time, you may also simply increase the treatment time to derive the same therapeutic benefit (e.g. 10,000 lux for 30 minutes, 9,000 lux for 35 minutes).  The bulbs retail for arounf $10 each and the Sky uses 2, which may be ordered from Carex directly or from other dealers.

Question 3

Can you adjust the height, independent of the angle? I mean, not the angle but just the height by itself?

Accepted Answer

You CAN adjust the height and keep the angle the same.  The light swivels forward and back which changes the angle.  However, the arm that attaches the light to the base also swivels forward and back to some extent. You can lower the height about 8 inches and still keep the light at the angle shown in the picture.

Question 4

Hello.   In numerous photos, I have see the Sky used off to the side, pointing at the face at an angle (like the photos above). Is this OK?

Accepted Answer

According to the book "Winter Blues"  by Norman Rosenthal,  one of the docs involved in the original discovery of seasonal affective disorder;  the light can enter the eyes at an angle or from the sides.  As long as the light waves are reaching the retina that's all that's necessary for it to work, and is even preferred in someone wearing glasses as light can enter the eye from the side without having to pass thru the glass lens which will filter a small part of it out.   Also, wearing sunglasses filters even more light out and lessens effectiveness.
