	Light therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Light therapy or phototherapy consists of exposure to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, for a prescribed amount of time.
		Visible blue light has been suggested to cause DNA breaks, but carcinogenesis has not been demonstrated, and enzymes within the cells are believed to repair the breaks reasonably well.
		Light therapy is a mood altering treatment, as just as with drug treatments, there is a possibility of triggering a manic state from a depressive state, causing anxiety, and other side effects.

	Light Therapy
		The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a light box, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between ¼ and ¾ hour daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms.
		In this regard, a light box study by Eastman and associates [19] using a non-light control condition (a negative ion generator that, unknown to subjects, was turned off), found no differences between the control condition and bright light** treatment (7000 lux for 1 hour in the morning).
		The intensities of light used in light therapy regimens are not considered harmful to the human retina based on short term studies, but the retinal effects of long term bright light exposure are not known.

		When light therapy is stopped, symptoms do not usually reappear for a few days, so most people can stop the treatment for one or two days without much problem (e.g., for a weekend trip).
		When there is a good response to light therapy, some patients like to experiment with the timing and duration of daily light exposure, e.g., by reducing the daily exposure to 15 minutes, or using the light at a more convenient time of the day (e.g., 7:00 p.m.).
		If light therapy is restarted, use a shorter exposure time (e.g., 15 minutes per day) or sit slightly farther away from the lights.

	Light Therapy
		In the simplest terms a light box is a type of light that uses a low-watt diffuse bulb to spread light throughout a small translucent box.
		Because a light box delivers diffuse, non-straining light in a variety of wavelengths, light boxes are sometimes used to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression instigated by a lack of sunlight, especially in northern climates.
		Light boxes for SAD therapy should also be large enough to deliver light all over the user, and make allowances for the user's movements during a normal day.
