Abstract

A therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system to treat seasonal affective disorder, to be provided at an upper portion of a hot tub basin above an indicated maximum water level, the hot tub basin defining at least one seat portion and corresponding headrest defined by the hot tub basin such that a facial region corresponds to the headrest, the facial region corresponding to a facial area of a person seated in the seat portion and supported by the headrest, the therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system including at least one array of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs provided on the upper area, the LED bulbs configured to illuminate colors and wavelengths selected to treat seasonal affective disorder, the LED bulbs being angled to direct light at the facial region of the hot tub body.

Claims (9)

1. A therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system to treat seasonal affective disorder, to be provided at an upper portion of a hot tub basin above an indicated maximum water level, the hot tub basin defining at least one seat portion and corresponding headrest defined by the hot tub basin such that a facial region corresponds to the headrest, the facial region being configured to accommodate a facial area of a person seated in the seat portion and supported by the headrest, comprising:

at least one array of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs provided on the upper area, the LED bulbs configured to illuminate colors and wavelengths selected to treat seasonal affective disorder, the LED bulbs being angled to direct light at the facial region of the hot tub body;

wherein the at least one array of LED bulbs are provided in a housing to be adhered to the upper portion of the hot tub basin; and

wherein the individual LED bulbs are configured to be adjustable in the housing so as to be selectively angled to the facial region after the at least one array of LED bulbs is provided to the hot tub basin.

2. The therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system of claim 1 , further comprising a control system for adjusting the intensity of the light emitted by the LED bulbs, the control system including a control panel with a user interface, the control panel with a user interface being provided on a top surface of the tub.

3. A therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system to treat seasonal affective disorder, to be provided at an upper portion of a hot tub basin above an indicated maximum water level, the hot tub basin defining at least one seat portion and corresponding headrest defined by the hot tub basin such that a facial region corresponds to the headrest, the facial region being configured to accommodate a facial area of a person seated in the seat portion and supported by the headrest, comprising:

at least one array of light emitting diode (LED) bulbs provided on the upper area, the LED bulbs configured to illuminate colors and wavelengths selected to treat seasonal affective disorder, the LED bulbs being angled to direct light at the facial region of the hot tub body;

wherein the at least one array of LED bulbs are provided in an adhesive strip to be adhered to the upper portion of the hot tub basin.

4. The therapeutic light emitting diode lighting system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one array of LED bulbs comprise a watertight battery compartment to power the LED bulbs.
