How to Use

Use the lamp in therapy mode for 20–30 minutes each morning. Position the lamp so the screen is at approximately eye level or slightly above, tilted at about 15 degrees so light projects from above — mimicking natural outdoor sunlight. Sit approximately 12–14" from the screen. You do not need to stare directly into the lamp; normal reading, eating, or working during the session is appropriate. Use therapy mode for your daily session and switch to task mode for ambient desk use throughout the rest of the day. The switch has three positions: therapy, off (middle), and task.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between therapy mode and task mode?

Therapy mode emits 10,000 LUX — the clinically recommended intensity to trigger the biological effects of bright light therapy, including serotonin production, circadian rhythm regulation, and energy support. Task mode emits approximately 5,000 LUX for use as a standard desk or ambient lamp. Use therapy mode for your daily 20–30 minute session each morning, and task mode for the rest of the day if you want to keep the lamp on.

How far should I sit from the lamp?

12–14 inches is the recommended distance for the Day-Light Sky. At that distance, the lamp delivers its full 10,000 LUX output. This is a key difference from many cheaper therapy lamps, which only reach 10,000 LUX at very short distances of 6" or less — distances that are uncomfortable to maintain during a 30-minute session.

Do I need to look directly at the lamp?

No. You should not stare directly into the lamp. Position it so it's at eye level or slightly above, angled toward you at about 15 degrees. Reading, eating breakfast, working, or scrolling on your phone during the session is fine — the light reaches your eyes naturally without direct staring.

Does the lamp emit UV rays?

No. The Day-Light Sky blocks 100% of UV rays. The light it emits is full-spectrum visible light only — it will not damage your skin or eyes during normal use.

Is this FSA or HSA eligible?

Yes — the Carex Day-Light Sky is FSA/HSA eligible.

What is the warranty?

The Day-Light Sky carries a 5-year limited warranty against defects. If the lamp becomes defective within five years, Carex will replace it or issue a refund. The lamp also comes with a 90-day return policy. Call us at 866-218-0902 for any warranty support.

Does this lamp have replaceable bulbs?

The Day-Light Sky uses LED light sources. LEDs are not user-replaceable in this model. In the event of LED failure within the 5-year warranty period, Carex will replace the lamp.

How does this compare to the Carex Day-Light Classic Plus?

Both the Day-Light Sky and the Day-Light Classic Plus are clinical-grade lamps with identical core specs: 10,000 LUX at 12", 4,000K color temperature, two light settings, height and angle adjustable, and light projecting from above. The primary differences are design and form factor. The Sky has a slightly more compact, contemporary profile that works well as a desk lamp. The Classic Plus is slightly larger. Both are appropriate for severe seasonal light deprivation — the choice comes down to which design fits your space and preference.
