Thinking of buying an Arabica, and is 30 minutes use per morning enough?

I have just brought an Arabica, last week. I use it for 1/2 to 3/4 hr every day depending on time, just after breakfast whilst reading emails etc. I feel I don't need more than that now, I did do 1 hr at first, I think it depends on how bad you feel before the start of using it and when you start to feel better you can adjust the time a bit. I felt improvement after 1 use. I have placed it on my left hand side slightly in front of me, about an arms length away and the light on 3/4 of my face. I believe you need to stay that close if you want to get the benefit in 1/2 hr, otherwise it would be longer than that. I did get a bit of eye ache so I moved it a little further back and was fine on next usage. I have found that it works, I feel so much better, I sleep better and have my sense of humour back (so my husband says!!!). Good luck and all the best, Sal

Hi all

Quick question. I bought a lumie lamp and it's been a fantastic experience. However, my partner keeps warning me not to look directly at it as it will ruin my retinas. Anyone know whether it's okay to do so? I have been having no problems.

Many thanks, Michael
