How the Sun Touch Plus Lamp Works
The Sun Touch Plus emits energizing, healing rays, using 10,000-lux Sky Effect light while simultaneously releasing streams of negative ions. It creates the same fresh air you feel by a waterfall or from an ocean breeze. The Science Behind NatureBright
Scientific researchers have discovered a new light receptor in the eye's retina that interprets signals from light rays, and sends the information to sections of our brain that stimulate hormone secretion and body rhythms. The Sun Touch Plus' Sky Effect lamps emit the optimal blue light that best stimulates these receptors, which send signals to neurological receptors, energizing important centers in the body. While this light appears normal to human eyes, its special frequency tackles winter SAD, sleep problems, low moods, and even jet lag. The Sun Touch Plus couples light therapy with negative ion therapy. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, electron-sized particles found in refreshing environments like on beaches and around waterfalls. Clinical studies show that high-density ion therapy provides an automatic antidepressant effect within a few days of use. What You Can Expect with Sun Touch Plus
- You'll safely receive Sky Effect light stimulation--the equivalent of standing outdoors on a clear spring day.
- You'll synchronize your sleep cycle with your waking cycle, staying rested and on track.
- You can take it with you when you travel. It's portable and easy to hold.
- You won't experience harmful side effects.
As your world gets lighter, your mind can think more clearly and you'll feel calmer. It's easy to bring the gentle healing touch of nature into your home. Tested for Safety
Sun Touch Plus with Sky Effect Technology has been submitted for safety testing to the Age-related Macular Degeneration Center at the University of Texas' Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. The study did not identify any cumulative toxicity to retinal cells following exposure to the NatureBright Sky Effect light. Based on these studies it would appear highly unlikely that the NatureBright Sky Effect light would cause any light damage to retinal cells in vivo when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

 Good SAD Light January 7, 2009
I have endured mild Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) primarily manifesting as fatigue and apathy during the winter months. I was happy to find a low priced and sufficient light (1000+lux) on amazon. The order arrived quickly and after using it for several weeks, I have noticed a more 'normal' feeling of energy level and mood. For those with some degree of SAD, I recommend this product because it is user friendly, compact and provides the appropriate amount of light required for light therapy (1000 lux). I have not used the ion-therapy much, but it is optional, so to each his/her own...though there is some information in the scientific literature about the emotional benefits of ion-therapy.
It Works! December 30, 2008

I use the SunTouch Plus Ion Therapy Light on a daily basis during winter months and on days I just can't seem to stay awake. It has been very helpful for SAD and even low grade residual depression. Although I add a word of caution: I like to use the light on an extended basis as I am working on the computer. Those who may be prone to mood disorders may find that this light may keep you awake at night if you are not careful as to how much you use it. Light therapy truly is helpful, and this is a good product. It was covered and reimbursed by my health insurance for the full amount as my doctor wrote a prescription for it. Also. once the "new" smell of the ionizer wears away, the scent is like that of after a rain storm.
Pretty Good Light Therapy for the Price December 26, 2008
This Christmas Season I am serioulsy thinking about getting the Philips GoLight because of the great reviews it's getting. Last year I received the SunTouch (made by Apollo at that time) Plus and used it a few times during the dark days of Winter in 2007. I did feel somewhat better on those days but I'm not one easily able to discipline myself to sit in one location within the recommended distance from this lamp. Also, I didn't find it easy to put this lamp in my front of me right after awakening and was nervous about using it later in the day because of the circadian rhymthm thing. So, in a sense, a quirky neurosis or 2 kept me from consistently using it last year.
This Winter in Alabama has been one the dreariest we've seen in a long time. I don't think the sun has peeped from behind the clouds in over 5 weeks! Since the days are naturally shorter this time of year, the overcast weather has quadrupled the normal, seasonal light deprivation effects. About a week ago, when all my friends were talking about how the lack of light affected their moods negatively, I made a committment to get out the SunTouch (which had been put aside and practically forgotten) and muster the discipline to sit in front of it for 15-30 minutes upon arising.
The first 2 days I used the device, I noticed I could tolerate Christmas music again and even found myself singing along to a couple of Christmas songs. I also have found myself sleeping more deeply at night without the need to get up several times during the night for trips to the fridge to eat homemade white chocolate Christmas Fudge, which can be very fattening. After over a week of using the SunTouch and experiencing the benefits I now find it well worth the committment and the small discipline needed to get the recommended 15 to 30 minutes of light therapy per day. This has been one of the least blue Christmases seasons I can remember in years. I attribute most of that to this device.
I still want to purchase a Philips GoLight because of the portability feature and the wider distance range for the device to be effective. Having to sit so close to the SunTouch I find to be somewhat limiting. However, for the price I now find the SunTouch is an effective product when used regularly. I give it 5 stars because it really works for me to spirit away the Winter Blues and its not as expensive as the Philips GoLight.
Great Christmas Gift December 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My boyfriend bought this for me last Christmas, as it was at the top of my Amazon wish list. I have had SAD my entire life, except maybe very early childhood. Honestly, I really love it. It is very pleasant to sit by, and I really like the ionization feature, which produces a strangely pleasant smell... sort of like new plastic? I've read a few negative reviews, one said that the light is too blue. Personally, I don't see what they mean, it looks pure white to me, in fact it is similar to the "daylight" CFL bulbs that I have. All in all, it works quite well, and really does lift your spirits fairly quickly. My only complaint is that I have trouble getting up in the morning to use it for the recommended 15-30 minutes. But now I've started using it in the afternoon, and it works great!
Btw, I wish people would stop posting 1-star reviews because of DOA conditions of products, that has nothing to do with the performance of the product! Stop pulling down the rating because of a factory defect!
Great for winter blues and an spectacular bargain December 2, 2008
This time of year in Chicago the sun is setting around 4pm, and on cloudy days it's hard to distinguish dawn, noon and dusk from one another. This product is compact but large enough to sit on a desk within the required range for effectiveness. The lights are great and so is the ion therapy that has a nice smell to it. I was somewhat suspicious of the ion therapy but it is a nice addition. The light therapy makes you feel awake and energized to start your day in the dreary times of the year. Highly recommended.
