Warnings and Precautions  
• Please read the following precautions before using these lamps.  
• These lamps are for indoor use only.  
• Do not place these lamps near any heat sources such as radiators, heat  
registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
• Do not block any ventilation openings in the rear of the lamps.  
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized plug  
has two blades with one wider than the other. The wider blade is provided  
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit in your outlet, consult an  
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,  
convenience receptacles and the point where the power cord exits the lamp.  
• Unplug these lamps during lightning storms or when unused for long  
periods.  
• If these lamps have been damaged in any way, for example, the power  
supply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects  
have fallen onto the lamp, the lamp has been exposed to rain or moisture,  
the lamp does not operate normally or has been dropped, it should not be  
operated. There are no user serviceable parts in this lamp.  
• Do not use with power supply voltage other than 120V AC.  
• Avoid placing the lamps in areas that are dusty, humid/moist, lack  
ventilation or are subject to constant vibration.  
• These lamps are not for use with light dimmers, timers, motion detectors,  
voltage transformers or extension cords.  
• Close supervision is recommended when these lamps are used by or near  
children, or others who may not understand the need for these precautions.  
• Do not leave the lamps unattended during use.  
• Do not use a lubricating agent in bulb assembly.  
Do not use this product if:

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC  
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY:  
Turn off/unplug and allow to cool before replacing bulb or cleaning.  
• Light bulbs get hot quickly! Do not touch the bulb while the lamp is on.  
• Do not look directly at the lighted bulb without the diffuser being in place.  
• Do not operate lamps in close proximity to flammable or combustible  
vapors, such as aerosol spray products, or where oxygen is being  
administered.  
• Use only the type of bulb and maximum wattage indicated by Verilux®.

To prevent risk of shock or personal injury when cleaning lamp, make sure  
you have turned off and unplugged the lamp, and allowed sufficient time for

Operation  
Selecting a Location  
• Place your Verilux® HappyLight® Compact Energy Lamps on a table or other  
flat surface.  
• For best performance, place the HappyLight as close as 6 inches, but within  
18 inches from your face.  
Note: Avoid placing this lamp in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or close  
to heat-radiating products such as heaters. Do not place the lamp on the top of  
appliances that radiate heat.  
WARNING: DO NOT BLOCK VENTS  
Vents are necessary for proper function of the electronic ballast;  
blocking them may cause overheating of the electronics and  
increase risk of fire.  
Instructions for Use  
Use consists of sitting close to the HappyLight® Compact Energy Lamp with  
your eyes open. While staying oriented toward the light, feel free to engage  
in other activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and crafts, sewing,  
needlepoint, applying make-up, painting or working at your computer or desk.  
1. Turn on the lamp and allow a few  
minutes for the bulb to achieve full  
brightness.  
2. The HappyLight Compact Energy  
Lamp should be positioned as close  
as 6 inches, but within 18 inches  
from your face, and should be slightly  
offset from center (see diagram).  
Note: It is not necessary to stare  
directly at the light.  
The light from the HappyLight Compact  
Energy Lamp must be directed at your  
eyes; therefore, your eyes must be  
open to achieve the full benefit. Note:  
Tinted glasses reduce the amount of light  
reaching your eyes.  
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit  
closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you  
experience edginess, or are over stimulated, move the light further away or  
reduce usage time.

Operation — continued  
Minimum Recommended Usage  
Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light,  
in a range of 2,500 to 10,000 LUX (a measurement of light intensity), helped to  
reverse the symptoms of “Winter Blues”.  
Different exposure strategies work for different people. We all have different  
reactions to our environment. It is important to establish a distance and  
schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend you use the light  
regularly and at about the same time each day. It is not necessary to sit in front  
of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini sessions.  
Continue to use the HappyLight® daily to feel an improvement in your mood  
and activity level.  
When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light, sit  
closer to the light or add more lighting devices to increase the intensity. If you  
feel a sort of edginess, as though you have drank too much coffee, then it may  
be time to turn the unit off.  
*2,500 LUX at 6". Recommended exposure time is a function of output and  
distance. Individual results may vary.

Troubleshooting  
Before requesting service on your Verilux® lamp, please read the following:  
• Make sure all power connectors, cords and plugs are inserted fully and  
securely.  
• Be sure the bulb is securely seated in the socket (see page 9).  
• Make sure there is power to the wall outlet or try another outlet – one that is  
not connected to a dimmer.  
PROBLEM  
CHECK  
SOLUTION  
Has the plug come  
loose?  
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.  
Is the bulb old?  
Light Won’t  
Come On  
Check bulb for blackening/darkening at bottom of spiral where it joins the  
base (an indicator of bulb life) and replace bulb.  
Be sure the bulb is securely seated into socket, repeat the bulb  
installation process.  
Is the bulb connected  
securely into socket?  
Sometimes when a new bulb is turned on for the first time the tube will  
darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.  
With older bulbs, darkening of the tube indicates end of bulb life (this  
doesn’t affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available  
since the phosphor in that area has become inactive). Bulb replacement  
is recommended.  
Is the bulb new?  
Blackening/Darkening  
at Ends of Bulb  
Is the bulb old?  
Insert plug securely into wall outlet.
