The New Litebook V2 Elite - Treatment Time 60 Mins

The New Litebook V2 is the only totally portable LED light therapy product on the market with patented white light LEDs which set new standards for the light box sector.

Introducing the LiteBook Elite SAD Light - The Litebook Elite is the next generation of SAD Light. Supported by many years of light therapy research and development in light therapy devices this light therapy device is ideal for any SAD sufferer.

The Litebook V2 has a contemporary stylish design which is compact and ultra-light weight. It employs revolutionary white light emitting diode (LED) technology, resulting in an astonishingly bright light delivery system. The Litebook V2 emits no radiation and the light emitted is very personal making this the perfect choice for use in an open plan office, unlike fluorescent boxes which illuminate a larger area. It uses about 1/10 th of the power of traditional light boxes and generates virtually no heat.

The Litebook V2 benefits from 24 bright white light LEDs each with individual Fresnel lens to focus beam, a diffuser to reduce glare and a gentle 5 second illumination build-up. Features include a detachable cover/stand, a sturdy travel pouch with space for the charger, 2 hours of life on a full battery charge (enough to tackle jet lag after an 8 hour flight from the US back to London!) and no wires - the rechargeable Lithium ION Battery gives at least 2 hours use per charge and there is an inbuilt battery level indicator. The Worldwide AC mains adaptor (US/Europe/Australia/UK) makes the Litebook elite perfect for jet lag applications.

Additional features of the Litebook Elite SAD Light include a long-lasting built-in rechargeable lithium-ION battery with a charge indicator and a multiple-setting timer (15-30-45-60 minutes) - all of this in a compact, sleek design which is small enough to place in your draw after use.

If you are a sufferer of SAD the Litebook Elite SAD Light will improve your mood, increase your energy levels and help to restore your sleep patterns. Most people notice positive results within 14 days but often sooner.

About The Litebook Company

The Litebook Company Ltd. was incorporated in 1999 to launch The Litebook SAD light - a leading-edge light therapy device that employs white Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology for treatment of a variety of light-deprived conditions including Winter Blues. 

The Litebook Elite SAD Light was designed to offer enhanced performance and convenience to a market that was dissatisfied with the large and cumbersome fluorescent-light based products. Larry Pederson recruited a Scientific Advisory Board and worked with development engineers and optical specialists to create The Litebook SAD Light.

Claiming Exemption is easy

When placing an order you will have the option of choosing VAT exemption or not. 

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. 
No other proof is required, but fraudulent claims could be checked and could constitute an offence. This form can be signed by the person themselves, a guardian, a carer, a parent or a representative.

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.
