The mineral plate is estimated for a 1000-1500 hour life. Replacement plates are available. This means your lamp will last through approximately 2200 uses at an average 40 minute cycle. That is about 5 years if used once per day.
Never use any liquid to clean the mineral plate or it will fall apart. Your lamp should be fine with an occassional dusting when the lamp head is cool. Do not bang your lamp into things or drop it as you will break it this way. Do not take your lamp head apart to clean it.
The TDP Special Electromagnetic Health Lamp (TDP Lamp for short) was invented in China by a group of scientists and physicians headed by Dr. Gou Wenbin. The TDP Lamp is a new type of therapeutic device. Its major benefits consist of promoting metabolism, regulating physiological deficiency, diminishing inflammation.
The TDP Lamp has proven to be effective in numerous ailments treatments, such as muscular aches and pains, soft tissue injuries, arthritis, and various skin conditions. TDP is used in the clinics and for home use.
The floor lamps stand about 5 feet tall. The arm assembly adjusts so the head can be as close as 2 feet from the ground. With a recommended safe distance of 12-16 inches, this means you can use the lamp while lying on the floor. Lamps weigh between 22 and 40 pounds depending on the model.
Due to its amazing therapeutic effects, the TDP Lamp is known in China and Hong Kong as the "Miracle Lamp". As a confirmation of its being accepted by the international community, the TDP Lamp won a gold medal at the 35th Brussels Eureka World Fair for Invention in 1986.
Also, the TDP Lamp has been registered with the FDA in the United States.
