Q.
Is a bulb supplied with this clock? If so, what type of bulb is it? And can I use other types of bulb with it?
A.
The bulbs supplied with the SRS models are 60watt candle bulbs with a normal tungsten filament. The E14 refers to the size and type of bulb, this being a candle bulb. The Sunrise System is compatible with both the candle type (E14) and the larger round standard type (GLS) bulbs, available as energy saving halogen. They last twice as long and use less energy whilst being dimmable. As a guide 240V halogen 42W = 60W tungsten, and halogen 70W = 100W tungsten.
Q.
How does this product help in the treatment of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) ?
A.
Sunrise alarm clocks such as the Sunrise System employ light therapy in the form of a simulated sunrise to engage your natural circadian rhythms (your bodyclock), by synchronising these they help to alleviate the symptoms of SAD.
Q.
Does this clock come supplied with a bulb or do I have to buy one separately?
A.
Yes, this sunrise alarm clock is supplied with a bulb. There would be no need to buy one separately.
Q.
Does this clock come with a warranty?
A.
Yes. All of our sunrise alarm clocks come with a 12 month warranty as standard.
Q.
Please tell me, is the light from these units the full spectrum, as in SAD lamps, or just an ordinary lamp?
A.
Sunrise alarm clocks such as the SRS200 do not employ bright light therapy similar to SAD Lamps and are not measured in Lux. They instead employ light therapy in the form of a simulated sunrise to engage your natural circadian rhythms (your bodyclock), by synchronising these they help to alleviate the symptoms of SAD.
