"Light Therapy Visor"

Light Therapy Visor

The fall and the following winter season now come with shorter days and longer nights. There must be something to this that can cause people to become depressed or moody. Scientists say that it is the lack of light that may be a factor to this. In such cases, light therapy may help. This handy Light Therapy Visor may help provide some additional light to compensate for the lack of it as the cold season comes.

The Light Therapy Visor provides the right amount of therapeutic light in order to counteract the effects of SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. It comes with a set of 3 LED white lights that emit 800 lux and a set of 3 red LED lights of 80 lux, enough to provide light levels found in the daylight spectrum. The effect is that it provides a dose of daylight during times when there’s a lock of it. It helps block the release of the sleep hormone melatonin to increase energy and alertness. With the Light Therapy Visor, people can have some dose of light at just a touch of a button. It is available at Hammacher Schlemmer for US$100.
