The Lumebox

The Lumebox provides both red light (RL) and near-infrared light (NIR) therapy. This can be used

to help treat sore and injured nipples when other methods have not worked well. It works by

stimulating the healing process and reducing inflammation.

This is a 1 week rental. Please return the Lumebox on time, as other clients may be waiting.

1. Make sure the device is charged. You should see 4 blue lights on the indicator.

2. Press the Power button to turn on the device.

3. Press the Mode button to select “RED” or “NIR” or both. Red light is best for surface

tissue and NIR is for deeper tissue treatment. You can use both modes if you like.

4. Lumebox recommends you start with short 1-2 minute sessions to see how you react to

the light therapy. After that, you can do a 6 or 12 minute session. The device will beep at

6 minutes to alert you that you have reached that time, and twice at 12 minutes before

powering off.

5. Wait 6 hours between treatment sessions. We recommend two treatments each day.

6. To turn the device off before 12 minutes, press and hold the power button for 2-3

seconds.

Note: The manufacturer recommends wearing eye protection while using RT and NIR therapy.

Protective eye wear is also included in the case.

Important: Do not place the device directly on the skin. Recommended distance is 4-6 inches

from the skin.
