Verilux HappyLight Lucent - One-Touch Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV-Free, LED Bright White Light & Detachable Stand for Boosting Mood & Improving Sleep

I am a retired mental health counselor. I frequently recommended Verilux happy Lance to my clients in addition to family and friends They can really make a positive difference in mood and energy level for those suffering from seasonal affective disorder or those that feel that they're beginning to hibernate due to lack of sunshine, frequent cloud cover and rain! They are portable and you can move them to wherever you are. You can set them up by where you're working or by your exercise equipment or in the kitchen when you're prepping food. The light is nice and bright, so for those that have some vision challenges it can if you set it up while you do your paperwork Very reasonably priced on sale! This is the third one I have purchased. I used to have one going in my office in Washington early in the day. Lots of health benefits.

I have only had this "happy light" a few days, but it seems fine and think it will help me out during the winter and also these last two months when we had so much rain! We are 10" ahead for the year & that becomes simply tiresome to me. Packed well and no issues with the light.

The Verilux HappyLight Lucent, and I seriously could not be happier! It has totally transformed my workspace and has been the only thing to really brighten up my day and mood on those dreary days or in the winter. The 10,000 Lux brightness is just right — you can be in direct sunlight without the harmful UV rays. It emits gentle LED lighting and is convenient to adjust so that I easily get it aligned in the perfect position on my desk or nightstand.So coumfortable the one touch operation. All you do is tap it for on and off (love it), and there is no fuss getting things set up. The first few days using it 20–30 mins first thing in the morning and I found a definite change in the daily energy and cognitive levels.And hey, the compact design is a nice addition too; it never takes away space, whilst remaining solid and sexy. If you are looking for an effective, easy-to-use light therapy solution that actually works, I suggest the Verilux HappyLight Lucent.

I thought for sure this was going to be a gimmick. When I use it I actually notice a difference In my mood and energy especially for the winter months. I’ve recommended to family and friends that suffer with seasonal depression. Using in the morning while doing makeup or just waking up in bed super easy to implement into the morning routine. Super bright! I noticed it I left it on for more than an hour id get a bit jittery so I’d only do the recommended hour.

Works really well. Very bright and perfect for waking you up in the morning. White light gives me headaches, so I use sunglasses to protect my eyes.

I’ve only been using it for about a week but I do feel a difference. I’m stuck in a cubicle all day with no windows. I also wake up really early before the sun comes up. I got this to get some “sunlight” upon waking and to use at my desk. A lot of the other lamps were way out of budget. I’ve been doing 20-30 minutes in the morning and I do another 30-60 minutes around 2 pm right when that afternoon crash is about to hit. I do feel like my energy is a little better during the day and I have been resting better at night. It’s lightweight enough to bring to the office and back home. Definitely satisfied with the quality and price.

I bought my first SAD light about 12 years ago and this one is my third purchase so far. I love that it is LED and the bulbs won't dim, over the years, like my first light had. I was worried it would be too small but I find it actually practically perfect to move around and take with me wherever I am working. It really does have a fantastic super bright light, but not nauseating (again, my first light was sickly bright it's first year). I give this purchase five stars on everything except the plug-in cord which seems like an afterthought. The cord is very flimsy and super thin. Even if I didn't have cats that would think it a piece of yarn and chew right through it I'd still be worried about how it is going to stand up to any wear and tear. I'm assuming I will be able to buy a replacement cord because I highly doubt it will last the 12+ years like my other lamp cords have done so far, but they are the normal standard cord thickness like you see on a lamp or other normal things you plug in or keep plugged in for daily use. This cord seems like they designed it to be used on a one-off, like a camping trip or something not under daily use. After I use the light I unplug the flimsy cord and place it delicately inside a small cardboard box for safe keeping until the next day which is really not ideal but I do like the light enough to go the extra mile and take care of it very intentionally. The light is fantastic, the brightness is exactly what I was looking for as I struggle with SAD and find these lights make such a huge improvement for me. The cord needs to be re-designed---and I'd love a free replacement when that happens! I am positive I can't be the only one that found the cord beneath the product. Thanks for making a great light, now make a great cord to go with it!!!!

While, I love the light itself, I don’t like the stand at all. It is not sturdy and it is starting to fall over. The previous one that I had for many years was more like a box shape, and there was no separate stand. This current one has a plastic leg that clamps onto the side.
