This may seem like a silly question but I have to ask anyway! Apologies if it has been asked many times before.

If I use my small light box at the recommended distance of around arms length, treatment time is about 45-90 minutes. If I use a larger light box treatment time is less due to the larger area of light I guess - or maybe the light is brighter?

So, if I move closer to my small light box will this increase the light I receive and therefore reduce the treatment time?

Seems like a logical thing but I know it could be incorrect, however I need to check before I attempt to sellotape the lightbox to my eyebrows lol :-)

Oh Joshy, you are funny.

Im sure its more to do with the lux not the distance chuck. Although my wicked sense of humour wishes it was the other!!

Distance is an issue,but I would'nt recommend wearing you're light box as a hat!
