Vitamin L, Slim Light Box for Effective SAD Light Therapy, White

I don't know about you, but I've always been a bit skeptical of products that claim to cure the winter blues. So when I heard about the Lumie Vitamin L Slim Light Box, I was more than a little dubious. I mean, how could a little box of light make me feel happier and more energized during the darkest months of the year? But let me tell you, this thing works! I started using the Lumie Vitamin L a few weeks ago, and I've already noticed a difference in my mood. I used to feel like a grumpy bear in hibernation during the winter months, but now I actually feel like a somewhat functioning member of society. It's like someone turned on a switch in my brain and suddenly I'm not as gloomy and lethargic as I used to be. The slim design of the Lumie Vitamin L is perfect for those of us with limited space. It fits easily on my desk or bedside table, and I can even take it with me when I travel. So now I can get my daily dose of light therapy no matter where I am. I even tried using it while watching TV, and let me tell you, it's a real game changer. Who knew that a little box of light could make Netflix and chilling even better? But my favorite thing about the Lumie Vitamin L is that it's so easy to use. There are no complicated settings or buttons to figure out. You just plug it in, press the power button, and bask in the glow of its warm light. It's like having a little slice of sunshine right in your own home. Of course, I do have a few minor complaints about the Lumie Vitamin L. For one, the light can be a bit intense if you're not used to it. I made the mistake of staring directly at it for too long and ended up with spots in front of my eyes. Lesson learned: don't stare into the light like you're auditioning for a role in a horror film. Overall, I would highly recommend the Lumie Vitamin L Slim Light Box to anyone suffering from the winter doldrums. It's a simple, effective, and oh-so-bright way to chase away the blues. Just don't forget to wear sunglasses if you decide to get up close and personal with it. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Really good product! I was skeptical at first but after using it everyday during autumn winter it has massively improved my mood, sleep pattern and energy levels. My previous Lumie vitamin L broke after 4 years of heavy use due to the button at the back no longer working properly. I've ordered another one as I believe they are that good and it's part of my morning routine now especially during the dark winter mornings. I really did notice a difference when I didn't use it in the mornings as I was feeling tired at 4pm when it started to get dark again. I'm so glad my replacement has arrived!

I don't have to tell a detailed story to explain to anyone in the UK the struggles of winter weather. Cold, grey and miserable despite my best attitude possible. I actually thought the benefits of this would be a placebo. Anyone who's familiar with the Only fools and horses episode when Del is selling the infrared massage gun, I had the same expectations... Glad to say I was totally wrong and I've been blown away for a number of reasons. Firstly it's well packaged and very well made and turned off it even looks good, it's very smart looking. Secondly it's VERY bright. You know, you almost expect when you buy a bright white bulb off Amazon to find it to be bright yet I was still surprised. I'd much rather it be bright than not bright enough so if you're worried it won't be powerful enough don't, Stevie Wonder would know when I turn it on. I'd say within 45 seconds and I adjusted to the intensity I felt 50% more awake and I knew why this made sense as a purchase. In the summer I go outside first thing and the sun wakes me up and I'm ready for the day, my Lumie light is just a replacement during the winter months. I had a significant and noticeable difference in how I felt. I found it best for a few hours in the morning before the dark grey sky turns a slightly lighter grey, off during the day when I'm awake and I turn it back on from 4pm onwards until about 8PM when I'd like to be tired. Overall it's very pleasant, takes 5 minutes to adjust and you can carry on with whatever you're doing feeling significantly more awake, alert and honestly, happier. I've gone into length here with the aim of helping someone else solve their own winter blues, trust me give it a go for a day or so you can always return it.

I’ve definitely seen improvement using the light, my ADHD symptoms of sleep wake cycles / lack of energy during the day have both tamed in a positive direction to some degree. It’s incredibly bright and the light quality seems very “pure”. I also find that it heavily improves my concentration/focus when working from home. The design is okay, but it doesn’t look luxury or worth keeping on display as I had hoped seeing the product photos. Based on the research I could find, 10,000 lux is the recommended value. But you need to be 20cm from the light to receive this lux value - this is very difficult a lot of the time. (Works well on my desk for this when placed up close, but in other environments, often end up having to hold the light handheld near your eyes for the long recommended periods as can be difficult to find other areas to place this close by ie when on the sofa, kitchen etc - would be good to have a way to put it on a tripod. Either it needed to be built to reach this lux at further distances or designed to be used this close (ie tripod as mentioned). Yes it seems to work - but I feel I’m missing out on the full capabilities of a SAD light given it can’t reach the recommendations with typical use in day to day life. I’ve also found mine has discoloured to a distasteful sepia colour on the back of the light and cable over time (5 years approx), with the front of the light showing a slight warmish tint developing.

Per chi soffre di disturbo dell'umore la terapia della luce offerta da prodotto Lumie BRAZIL è perfetta. Inoltre per chi lavora in ufficio oppure chi studia e passa molto tempo in biblioteca , in manca del sole oppure durante la stagione invernale questo prodotto risulta un tocca sana. Lo consiglio vivamente anche chi come me ha carenza di vitamina D.

Ich habe mir die Lampe schon vor einigen Monaten gekauft, weil ich im Winter ständig unter dem ‚Winterblues‘ leide. Und ich wollte für den nächsten Winter gewappnet sein. Heute, einige Monate sind vergangen, ist der kürzeste Tag im Jahr und noch dazu herrscht fast den ganzen Dezember hartnäckiger Nebel. Normalerweise habe ich um diese Jahreszeit schon eine ziemlich trübe Stimmung. Heuer ist es tatsächlich so, dass ich immer noch gute Laune habe – vermutlich, weil ich täglich beim Frühstück so um die 30 Minuten oder manchmal länger die Lampe neben mir stehen habe. Außer ich weiß, dass ich mal wirklich in die Sonne komme, dann eben nicht. Also: Wenn man jedes Jahr unter der ‚Winterdepression‘ leidet und früh genug im Herbst mit der Lampe beginnt, dann kann ich nur raten, das zu probieren. Und wenn möglich natürlich: ab in die Sonne! Aber die Möglichkeit hat man eben nicht immer.

It does create the feel good factor and does what the maker advertises. Be careful moving it around. Buy some spare bulbs with it. It brightens up the long winter for sure.

Sehr hell, dadurch gut wirksam für die Stimmung. So hell, dass das direkte Hineinsehen (was aber nicht notwendig ist) leicht unangenehm wird. Schön groß, reicht bei mir etwa bis Stirnhöhe, wenn ich mit dem Gerät am Tisch sitze. Schön breit, sodass ich während der Anwendung entspannt frühstücken kann. Bei der ersten Anwendung ist mir aufgefallen, dass das Gerät viel heller ist als mein Vorgängermodell von Lumie, das viele Jahre gehalten hatte. Vermutlich lassen die Leuchtmittel im Laufe der Jahre nach. Ich werde sie in Zukunft nach zwei/drei Jahren austauschen, man kann die beim Hersteller nach bestellen.

Hatte die Lampe bereits für zu Hause, da ich bei dunklen Tagen und im Winter starke "Anlaufprobleme" habe. Jetzt habe ich deshalb die 2. Lampe nachbestellt für mein Büro und bin nach wie vor extrem zufrieden. Mir hilft es. War übrigens die Empfehlung einer Psychiaterin gegen den "Winterblues".
