Verilux HappyLight Luxe – Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV-Free, LED Bright White Light with Adjustable Brightness, Color, Countdown Timer, & Stand – Boost Mood, Sleep, Focus (White Marble)

Great product, requires consistency
I think people have some high expectations for this product to fix all of their problems. It’s not a miracle cure for depression, it takes the edge off.I live in the PNW, where it’s cloudy 90% of the year. Winter is the worst when it gets dark at 4:30. I felt the shift after daylight savings. More tired in the morning, difficulty getting moving, not keeping up on fitness, eating more junk, tired mid afternoon, and sleep schedule jacked up.I did feel an immediate shift when I started using it. It could’ve been excitement to try something or placebo effect, but I would turn it on as soon as I woke up. Sit in front of it for 20-30 minutes while I woke up reading or doomscrolling.I was back to listening to music while I got ready, felt more motivated at work, stopped skipping (as many) workouts, and though the afternoon slump is still there, I’m not I’m not falling asleep at my desk.Like I said, not a miracle fix. But it helps. It does have a bit of a cheap feel, but not too bad. It stays upright, light settings are nice and bright. If you start on the lower end while you adjust, extend the time you spend in front of it. I still haven’t gotten to the brightest setting. It’s hard to first thing in the morning. They recommend not to use it in the afternoon because it can keep you awake, but I will occasionally do it for 10 minutes to give myself a little boost so I’m not falling asleep at 6pm.

Very happy with this little light
It’s bigger than I thought it would be. This is a good thing, in my opinion. It looks and feels solid, sitting on my desk. I turned it sideways and leaned it against the base of my computer monitor at my work desk. It’s directly under my monitor on which I read my work emails in the morning, so I figure i’m getting the most benefit from it there.It is insanely bright at the highest setting. Surface of the sun at noon, bright. Which it is supposed to be, so I feel good about it. I don’t have a light meter, and I don’t honestly care that much, so I haven’t measured the output or anything. My eyes say it’s insanely bright and that’s good enough for me.It does have adjustable brightness, so I’ll admit to using it on the lowest setting as a normal light source when the days are cloudy and little natural sunlight comes in through the window. It does the job well there, too.The light is pure white and clear and very comfortable for my eyes. It does have other light temperatures, but I don’t like them so I don’t use them. Your mileage may vary. Options are good.The timer is consistently accurate to the minute, which is fun. I set it for an hour in the morning, and it turns off when the hour is up.I think it’s a rather attractive addition to my office setup. I like that it is a nice marbled colour instead of something stark white or plain black. It feels like a casual accent piece instead of anything institutional or cold. It takes up much less desk real estate than a traditional lamp, which is important in a small space.As far as mood alteration, I can’t honestly tell if it’s psychosomatic or if it’s actually making a tangible physical difference to my mood. How does one measure that objectively, when one is struggling with depression in the first place? What I can say is that it *seems* to make a difference, and a rather significant one at that. It is chemical free and there are no side effects, so even if it is psychosomatic I’ll take it.Does it fix everything and now the world is sunshine and butterflies and happy bunnies? No. It’s a lamp. But it does seem to improve my outlook, and that’s a huge step in the right direction.

Great choice
Game changer for my wife. Needs to be used on a regular basis but good quality product.

Just What I Needed
Great purchase. I have used it for ten plus minutes each morning. I have had it for many months and I am pleased with it. I believe that this extra light is benefitting my health. It is portable but it sits in one place on a table. If you wanted, you could tuck it away after each use. It has a nice look.

I have had a very difficult time regulating my sleep – sometimes I sleep well, more often not, and I rarely get a full night’s sleep. Using this wonderful light has definitely helped. I use it at the same time every morning, on the highest setting, and set the timer for 30 minutes. I keep it at a slight angle at a distance of about 18 inches from my eyes and wow, I am definitely falling asleep sooner and sleeping better. It’s also very user friendly – the controls are simple, you can change the quality of the light if you dislike LED or prefer a warmer light, and you can gradually work your way up to the highest setting as there are four brightness settings. Definitely worth every penny.

Just got this item yesterday and was super excited to try it! My naturopathic doctor highly recommended it for my low energy and seasonal SAD that effects my immunity this time of year. It is beautiful and I love having it at my sitting chair and my desk. The first time using it I could tell the effects and second day I have a boost of energy already even though I started small. I prefer it on its stand beside me opposed to holding it like a tablet on the couch. I really wish for the price it would of come with a battery life instead it has to be plugged in to operate but hopefully their introduce or have an other version that is rechargable so I can move around if needed. I hate wires! I recommend this!

This light has been excellent for treating my winter doldrums. I feel more energetic through the day and my mood is much better as well.
