Does actually work
I was worried when I read some of the reviews stating that the top falls down or that it doesn’t work properly because of the light settings – I ordered it anyway, and here’s the deal… mine functions properly, and it does actually work. I would not have bought into light therapy if my doctor did not tell me that she uses light therapy, and recommended it for me. Living in Wisconsin the “winter blues” are very common with or without anti-depressants. Yes, this light is very bright but part of the product description mentions the highest level of light output possible for a photo therapy. Yes, you can tone down the brightness for different settings-however, the difference is minimal. I assume this is normal because commonsense would tell you that photo therapy works by administering “light” therefore it must produce light (what you are paying for). I’ve only been using mine for one week and almost from day one I noticed an improvement in my morning mood. For example I don’t feel like going back to sleep right after I wake up. I truly doubt that this produces a UV light. My guess is that if you have irritation after using it you likely sat too close because it does produce a bit of heat. I would recommend this to anybody who feels the “winter blues” or could use a booster in their overall mood. Definitely worth the money!

BRIGHT LIGHT, CLINICAL AESTHETIC, SOME CONCERNS
This is a very bright light with a very basic utility style. It has helped my mood and energy somewhat with consistent use. I have several autoimmune issues I am hoping this can help with. I have to use it for at least an hour to feel a noticeable difference in my day. I have two complaints about the light itself…1) the adjustor screw at the neck is permanently stuck. It arrived disassembled. When I assembled and adjusted the knob, “finger tight” it had insufficient holding power to keep the position. I had to really krank it down and it is now stuck. I have to adjust the light by actually moving the top of the light itself. No idea how long this will be effective before the joint fails.2) The power button is a VERY responsive touch sensor front and center on the base. This is good, except that I keep the lamp on my bedside table to help me wake up…. If I reach for phone, chapstick, water etc in the middle of the night and accidentally brush the lamp, my husband and I are startled awake by a blinding light. My fix is keeping a paper back book over the base so we don’t get blinded during our sleep cycle. This would be an issue when used on any surface as the slightest touch activates the light.VALUE: My husband is actually in lighting and I know basic value on lighting products. LED tech is getting cheaper and cheaper to produce. Also, I am unsure this would be an awesome value based on the two crucial design issues above. It is all plastic outside but must be weighted inside the base to offset the top. For the price I would hope for a more user friendly function and a more attractive look that would fit in with a traditional/homey design scheme rather than a clinic. For now, it has been otherwise reliable and helpful, but I will be shopping for better function and design.

I’m really glad I read the reviews before I bought this lamp otherwise I may of been a bit disappointed with some of the features and the design. As others have said, it’s top heavy so it can easily topple over if not placed on a secure flat surface. The knob to adjust the lights angle doesn’t work well (probably the worst of it). But in saying that, I adjusted the light once and it’s stayed fine in that position. I will not be fiddling with the adjustments as long as I can help it since others mentioned having problems with it falling out of position. The lamp is not tall enough to have at your desk if you want to be under the light. I would recommend placing it on top of a shelving unit or perhaps sturdy text books. The best part is because it’s a bigger light I find being at a bit of a distance works great, unlike the smaller units that require you to be inches away in order to be affective. Others have mentioned the lamp looks cheap, but honestly I don’t notice, you can tell when you touch it that it’s not the most durable plastic but I think it looks really sharp.I have one additional piece of advice when putting the base and body together when you first get the lamp. The screws are a bit tricky to tighten, but worked well when I put them in at the same time rather than one after another. Overall for the price it’s really good if you don’t mind the design or don’t plan on adjusting the lamp often. Hope this helps! Happy days! 🙂

The tilt is too flexible and doesn’t stay in horizontal position very easy. Other than that the brightness control is excellent which is the main reason I purchased it 🙂

DO NOT BUYI had bought this in November 15, 2020 during the pandemic at a Grand Total of $125.82 (Today’s price $73.99+tax). It’s literally a glorified lamp with an on and off button. No features like timer to set it to turn on, auto off etc. You can do nothing with it. I’ve had it for 4 years and it has been a giant dust collecting paper weight. Buy a lightbulb with the same 10,000 LUX, throw it into a lamp and enjoy the “benefits”. Only reason I keep it is as a reminder of how unsatisfied I am with it and never to buy from this company.DO NOT BUY – Don’t believe the gimmick of what they claim this lamp does.Oh and PS. the “newer version” is a —-Frequently returned item—-DO NOT BUY
