Diamond 3 SAD Light Box - Treatment Time 30 Mins

The High Powered Diamond 3 light box is the mid-range model in the versatile Diamond range of light boxes for SAD.  Diamond light boxes have a sleek, ergonomic design to bring the light to you in the most efficient way possible.

The enhanced curved shape used in all the Diamond models, focuses the light to the point where you are sitting for maximum effect, while the smooth opal diffuser gives a beautiful even luminosity.

The Diamond 3 light box comes complete with a base allowing it to tilt forward or backward 6-12", as research has shown that angled light that hits the back of the retina can be more beneficial.

These lightweight boxes are fitted with a handle so they can be carried easily. Both the 3 and 4 lamp models have two switch controls to vary the light output. The optional floor stand or wall mounting also makes this the most flexible light box to suit individual needs. Treatment time is around the half an hour mark for the Diamond 3. Perfect if you're busy!  The dimensions are the same as the Diamond 4 model but the Diamond 3 has 3 lights housed within the casing unlike the Diamond 4 which houses 4 lights.

If you choose the VAT exempt option we will send you a form which will need to be completed and returned with 7 days otherwise you will be charged VAT at the appropriate rate. 

Exemption is activated by signing and returning the form we have sent you.

An example of a fraudulent claim might be for example if a lightbox was purchased as a colour lamp for art work- this would not be a zero-rated supply.

Items for use in an institution, or if you are re-selling the goods you are not eligible for zero-rating.
