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)

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.

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.

does it work? i can't tell, but the science says yes, so i use it in combination with vitamin-D supplements due to the lack of sunlight. make sure to read the manual, it outlines how to properly use this, as it needs to be in your peripheral vision and ideally a specific distance away from your eyes. my only real complaint is the USB-C, something I typically give high praise for. it doesn't seem to support power-delivery, the standard that Apple, Google, Meta, and most major manufacturers use. meaning you can't just use any USB-C brick or cable. i have tons of high quality chargers that can do 100w PD and above, yet they won't power this light which pulls far less. i wanted to move this thing to my bedroom at night, use a smart switch to turn it on at my alarm time to help wake me up naturally, but that would involve pulling the cable from its primary location every night. if this thing supported PD, i could just unplug it and utilize the USB-C, but as-is, it's way too tedious so i simply don't get to use it that way, and these lights are far too expensive to simply buy a second one.

Tbh, I've been using this thing daily since I bought it. I have had to experiment with where it works best for me, and for me that's the bathroom tbh. I get up to turn off my alarm, then go potty and sit there contemplating if I really need a job. Having this by the sink while I sit there and wake up has been a game changer. I can feel the alertness from the light after I'm done poopin 💩 highly recommend pairing with a motion based activity such as getting up to turn off the alarm and sitting in a chair next to the lamp.

I use mine each morning. Even in lowest setting its bright - I have it farther away than shown.
