Where should I place my SKYVIEW 2?
Your SKYVIEW™ is designed to provide benefits in the rooms where you spend the most of your time. To receive the best effect and benefits, SKYVIEW™ should be positioned at a standard distance from your face as most table lamps. It is recommend that 3 feet or 0.9 meters from your face on a workstation, bedside table, or living room area. This placement will provide the correct amount of light to meet standard recommendations for daytime, evening, and nighttime to best support your physiology, sleep and wakefulness.
Placing SKYVIEW™ on your bedside table or nightstand in your bedroom provide additional benefits - the automatic sunrise feature wakes you up during the lightest part of your sleep, boosting your morning awakening response and gently welcoming you into the new day.
You can adjust the light to a “comfortable” brightness level using the dial on base.
