Dear Customer,

Thank you for your interest in our Full Spectrum lighting systems.  Correct Full Spectrum light, clear air, and water are important elements that we all need on a daily basis to stay active and healthy.  By deciding to take control of the lighting in your environment you have taken an important step toward better overall health.

Dr. Jacob Liberman, O.D., Ph.D, author of Light: Medicine of the Future, reviewed our lighting system and stated "My impression is that SAD-LITE is the highest quality 10,000 LUX and Full Spectrum lighting system on the market today."

American Environmental Products' intent is to produce the most environmentally correct Full Spectrum lighting systems possible.  By combining the highest Full Spectrum bulbs currently produced and using the latest in electromagnetic shielding, we have produced the most advanced, environmentally correct lighting systems in the world today.   We are the only system to meet German and Swedish standards for Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) pollution.

The fluorescent bulbs that we feature are produced in Germany and have the highest C.R.I. (color rendition index) in the world (98 C.R.I. 6500K and 96 C.R.I. 5000K).  They are produced using a very expensive five-phosphor blend to give them the most complete full spectrum light output possible.  Our 10,000 High-Lux model bulbs are 82 C.R.I. 5000K.  The 98 C.R.I. 6500k bulb is energy efficient, using 18 watts instead of 20 watts, and is also rated at 20,000 hours life expectancy.  All bulbs also have lead cathode-radiation shielding to give them the highest x-ray shielding possible.

The light box fixtures encompass the latest in both energy efficiency and reductions of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF's).  The electronic ballast we use is the lowest in EMF's that we tested.  There is also no hum, flicker or other noise.  This combined with an internal radio frequency filter, far surpasses any other light boxes in the market.  The parabolic lens allows for 100% C.R.I. light transmission without any filtering or altering of the bulbs reducing both electric and radio frequencies.  The box is constructed of steel and has a special high-color-spectrum reflective white, baked enamel finish, which also eliminates paint-off gassing.  The portable light boxes come complete with a carrying handle, a six-foot, three-wire cord with grounded plug and an on/off switch.

By choosing American Environmental Products systems, you are receiving the most advanced Full Spectrum lighting systems available today and are stepping closer to a healthier and more beneficial environment.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles Bolta
President, American Environmental Products

Sunwave® Bulbs

DISTRIBUTORS WANTED!

Retrofit standard fixtures with radiation shielded Full Spectrum incandescents and fluorescents. "Bring the goodness of natural daylight indoors." Provides Full Spectrum natural light from a special mixture of phosphors. Full Spectrum lights are excellent for reading because light is evenly balanced, thereby eliminating the glare created by yellow-type incandescent lighting. Great for your eyes - enhances colors and improves visual acuity. As a side benefit, plants grow like crazy. Most lamps emit light in only a narrow band of the visual spectrum (incandescents mainly yellow; normal fluorescents emit the green-yellow-orange part of the spectrum). These bulbs closely simulate the balanced spectrum of natural light found outside. You can see much better. Reading is easier and eye-strain significantly reduced. It has been found that fluorescent bulbs emit tiny amounts of x-ray at the cathode end. Our cathode radiation shielding takes care of those fields.

All Sunwave bulbs come standard with our special radiation shielding protection.

Many insurance companies will reimburse all or a portion of the cost of a light therapy device if proper diagnosis has been made by a qualified health professional. The following sample letter has been prepared to assist you in requesting reimbursement. It is to be prepared and signed by your doctor.

SAMPLE LETTER FOR INSURANCE COMPANY

To whom it may concern: (Insurance carrier)

This is to certify that (your name) is a patient of mine. He/she is being treated for recurrent major depressions with a seasonal pattern.

Referral to "seasonal patterns of depression" has been included in the most recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV). Phototherapy is no longer considered experimental, but is a mainstream type of psychiatric treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). According to the December 8, 1993 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), "for many patients with SAD, light therapy should be regarded as a first-line treatment, given its high success and acceptance rate" (Vol. 270, No. 22, pages 2717-2720). In 1989, the American Psychiatric Association's Task Force on Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders (Vol. 3, pages 1890-1896, A.P.A. Press), recommended light therapy as treatment for the range of clinical depression diagnoses including:

In order to administer phototherapy adequately, a bright light unit is required. In (your name)'s case, the use of the bright light unit should be regarded as a medical necessity and may be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment.

These procedures conform to April 1993 U.S. Public Health Service-Agency for Health Care Policy and Research guidelines for management of this disorder.

Sincerely,

Dr.________________________
