FAQ

When will I see results?

Many users begin noticing sharper memory, better focus, and deeper sleep in a few weeks. But the real power lies in long-term use, which promotes natural brainwave rhythms, strengthens neural connections, and builds long-term cognitive resilience. 

Is it supposed to flicker?

Yes! The science is in the flicker. The latest research shows light blinking at precisely 40 times per second, i.e., 40Hz, stimulates the gamma rhythms your brain naturally produces while concentrating. This stimulation also leads to a more restful night’s sleep, better mood, and improved memory. The nurturing flickering  40Hz light is what distinguishes BEACON40 from other light therapies.

How should I use my BEACON40®?

Integrating BEACON40® into your home or workplace is an easy and seamless process designed to enrich your environment with restorative light without disrupting your lifestyle. Begin by placing the lamp within your peripheral vision. Plug it in and press the power button. You do not need to look directly into the light but you do need to keep your eyes open. BEACON40® will blink at 40 times per second, otherwise known as 40Hz frequency. This flickering stimulates your brain’s natural gamma waves, enhancing memory, focus, and sleep. We recommend using the lamp for at least one hour per day. You can tailor brightness, color, and duration to suit your needs.

Do brightness or color settings impact the efficacy of the lamp?

Brightness and color settings are purely personal preferences and do not affect the efficacy of BEACON40® light therapy. 

Can I use BEACON40® with prescription or blue light glasses?

Yes, you can use BEACON40® with prescription or blue light glasses. The 40Hz light therapy is effective even when viewed through glasses, as the flickering light reaches your eyes and provides its benefits regardless of lenses.

How many lamps do I need?

BEACON40® offers two configurations to fit different spaces and needs:

  • BEACON40® Personal: A single lamp designed for compact areas and individual use.
  • BEACON40® Surround: A synchronized two-lamp set for larger spaces and/or shared use.

Which BEACON40® is right for you?

Choose BEACON40® Personal if you’re using it alone in a small, focused space like a desk, bedside table, reading nook, or meditation area.

Choose BEACON40® Surround if you want broader coverage in a larger room, or a shared environment with other people.

Where should I place my BEACON40®?

BEACON40® fits within your lifestyle, emitting restorative flickering light while you go about your daily activities. Place your BEACON40® lamp(s) within your peripheral vision about 3 to 15 feet away from you while you cook, exercise, meditate, watch TV, work, or relax. 

Here’s how to position your BEACON40® based on your setup:

  • BEACON40® Personal: Perfect for compact spaces, this single light fits easily on your desk, side table, or near a reading nook—any cozy spot where you’ll spend at least an hour.
  • BEACON40® Surround: Designed for larger spaces or multiple users, this dual-light set offers flexibility. Place the lights on either side of your TV, diagonally across the room, or on opposite sides of a sitting area to ensure 40Hz light therapy reaches everyone in the space.

Can BEACON40® prevent memory loss?

Research indicates that daily exposure to 40Hz frequency light may lessen detrimental amyloid plaque in the brain, reducing symptoms like brain fog, confusion, and difficulties with recall. This discovery led to the creation of BEACON40® and our mission to support brain health. However, it’s crucial to understand that BEACON40® is not a medical device and is not intended to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. It is designed to support overall brain health. It should complement a healthy lifestyle, including a brain-healthy diet, exercise, meditation, and challenging puzzles and games.

How long will a BEACON40® light last?

BEACON40® uses LED lights, which typically last 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb, 20–25 times longer than a halogen, and 8–10 times longer than a CFL. Used daily, BEACON40®. will last more than 10 years.

Is BEACON40® safe?

For most people, doctor-recommended BEACON40® is a safe, natural solution for improved brain health. The flicker in the lamp delivers a gentle, noninvasive light that stimulates brain activity, supporting better memory, enhanced focus, and improved sleep—all without the side effects of prescription medication.

BEACON40® emits LED light, making it similar to other household lighting, but it is uniquely designed to deliver a 40Hz flicker, which supports cognitive performance. While well-tolerated by most users, those with photosensitivity or light-triggered conditions should use at their discretion. Adjusting the brightness or placement can help improve the experience.
