Carex Day-Light Elite Bright Light Therapy Lamp - 12,000 LUX Light Therapy Lamp at 12 Inches, Sunlight Lamp, Daylight Lamp, Therapy Light for Low Energy Levels

Love this light! It is the perfect size for my dressing table, where I use it daily along with a magnification mirror to check out my face. Amazing what one can see with a really good light. It is lightweight, has several brightness settings, easy to use and seems to be of very good quality.

I received this therapy lamp from Amazon a couple days ago. The item was well packed. Assembly is easy. Just 6 screws with an included screw driver. The power button and settings buttons are soft touch and intuitive to use. The build is solid and design really nice and really puts out 4 light levels. I look forward to using this lamp in the winter months as I suffer every year from seasonal affective disorder. I guess you could use this also as a general purpose lamp as well.

I did not purchase this light for its therapeutic effects, and cannot speak to those claims. I purchased it because I suffer from low vision, in particular a loss of contrast. I find myself dreading sunset and cloudy days. My hope was that this light, used as a reading lamp, would enable me to easily see and read in those conditions. And so it does. It was so easy to assemble that I didn’t even have to look at the instructions. It comes with the only tool I needed. I love that it has a tilt feature, a choice of four brightness settings, and a handy timer so that I can set it for automatic shut off in 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. I also love that it can be removed from the arm and hung on a wall or placed on a tabletop supported by the kickstand. In my opinion this is a very thoughtfully designed light that has completely changed my attitude about the weather or time of day. If I had three wish’s it would be that I had known about it sooner, that it was on a swivel base and that it could be detached from the arm without having to remove the four screws.

Excellent sun lamp and really does the job. I have used small sun lamps to no avail. They just weren't big enough to deliver enough therapeutic light unless they were uncomfortably close to my face. I have this one on a stand next to an armchair. I'm able to angle it down so I get the the light at the right angle for my eyes. I use it each morning when I'm doing my Bible reading, so it's easy to incorporate into my day. It has made so much difference. I live in a Northern climate and it's dark at 3:30 or 4pm right now. This lamp helps me feel more energy during the Fall/winter, helps my mood, and especially has helped me sleep better. Usually this time of year my circadian rhythm gets messed up and I don't get quality sleep...the other lamps haven't helped with that but this one has. The other benefit is that unlike other ones I've tried this one doesn't give me headaches. Be sure to use it early enough in the day, preferably within 30 minutes of waking and don't use it for more than 30 minutes.

I like the mounting and position options. My experience has been positive. I spend 45 minutes in front of the light in the early morning. Placed hanging about 18 inches in front of me .The bottom of the light box about forehead level and tilted down at my face roughly simulates the angle that sunlight would travel to my eyes. I feel energized and alert after using it and now wake up on my own just before my alarm sounds. My usage has been fairly punctual. I wasn't sure if light therapy was going to work for me but I can honestly report that it has and I'm glad I started. Winter isn't gloomy anymore for me.
