Consumer Electronics Daily News 2 9 Tuesday, January 9, 2018 Get Your Shine On: Compass Health Brands Delivers Affordable Light Therapy for All Compass Health Brands ® , a leading health manufacturer specializing in bringing affordable consumer technology to healthcare, is pleased to announce the release of the TheraLite™ – a portable mood and energy-enhancing, LED well- ness lamp – under its renowned Carex ® brand. Featuring the clinically recommend- ed 10,000 LUX of glare-free white light, no harmful UV and energy-saving LED technology, the TheraLite can help pro- vide relief of mild to moderate symptoms of light deficiency or the winter blues. With only a 30-minute treatment session, this safe, natural and compact wellness lamp may also help relieve jet lag, shift work adjustment and circadian rhythm disorders, whether at home or on-the-go. "We are so excited to introduce the TheraLite to consumers," said Bianca Araújo-Méndez, Compass Health Brands' retail marketing manager. "After speaking with many of our customers, we identified an unmet need within the bright light ther- apy marketplace. Many of the low-priced, at-home solutions lacked quality, while clinically-recommended devices were simply unaffordable, forcing many winter blues sufferers to go untreated. Thankfully, with the release of the TheraLite – which meets the key clinical requirements for bright light therapy – our company has been able to bridge that gap and provide an affordable, compact and portable solution." For increased portability, the TheraLite comes complete with a built- in, height-adjustable stand and with a travel cover that resembles a tablet case. The device was also designed to be used in either portrait or landscape mode to accommodate a wide-range of treatment preferences. This is the latest offering from Carex, the same brand that manufactures the award-winning Day Light Classic Plus lamp. The TheraLite LED wellness lamp is available on Amazon for the low cost of $49.
