Lamp
I love this lamp, it gives me the time and indoor temperature plus a sun lamp.

Pretty good SAD / task lamp
This is a pretty decent light, specifically for SAD therapy and as a task lamp (or a little of both simultaneously). Here are some pros and cons from my perspective:Pros:* Bright / hi-lumen output for its size with 3 brightness settings* Lamp folds up reasonably flat, great for portability* Looks more like a task lamp, more modern and sleeker than traditional SAD lamps* Base is somewhat decent for charging AirPods and *some* phones* Extra (traditional) USB port on back of base* Arm containing light is on a hinge to quickly angle light between SAD mode and task mode* As a task light 4.0-4.5 stars, as a SAD light 3.5-4.0 stars* Fair price for what you get.Cons:* Not as effective as the larger SAD lights made by the same company (the ones with the “box lights” which have a diffusion on front of the light approx 12” x 12” – which are also on a base and able to be angled). These bigger lights are better for both SAD and as task lamps- they are great, but maybe 3x the price, and as I have been told, “are ugly”!* As other reviewers have said, the charging platform is finnicky and requires items to be placed “just right”. Also, when I upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro from an iPhone X, the addition of the “camera bump” renders the charging platform useless for my phone because it is not flush to the base. AirPods charge ok when placed right. I hope the company is able to remedy this in the next iteration of this product, I would buy another lamp if so.* Further, the traditional USB port on the back doesn’t seem to charge my iPhone 16 and I have tried a few usb to usb-c wires. It does, however, charge a charge-thru battery I have so I plug in the battery to the base and stick my phone on the battery to charge.* i think the clock requires adjustment every 6 months maybe (and not just for daylight savings), its timing is slightly off over time* Whatever 8-bit-ish sounds the lamp makes (ie twinkle twinkle when plugged in and battery not yet activated) I could do without.If you are looking for a decent SAD lamp that also serves as a task lamp, and is reasonably portable, at a fair price, this is probably the lamp for you.

Pros & Cons
Pros (mostly all good):+ Has a blue 7-segment LED display for the time, date, day of week, and even temperature!+ Has as a wireless phone charger pad built in.+ Has touch buttons for dimming light to 3 different intensity levels.+ Has a touch button for light turning on/off.+ Has hinge joint at the base to swivel post forward or back.+ Has hing joint at the top of post to swivel light direction up or down.(IOW you can point it at your face for morning light therapy).+ Very thin post can fit perfectly between 2 monitors on desktop.Cons:- No way to swivel light left or right (no biggie).- Clock loses around 3 minutes per week (this is mainly bad because…)- Setting the clock is inconvenient because buttons are on back of post and hard to read let alone remember the time adjust sequence.Stuff I don’t know about:? Whether the light frequency profile is similar to sunlight.

Bright light, charging mediocre, can’t change the day and it’s driving me nuts
The light is bright, easy to set up. Can’t say if it helps depression or anything but my room is darker so I like having it. Wireless charging works but only if the phone is placed jussssttttg right, even then it’s slow. I posted the picture showing that while I adjusted the date correctly, the day itself is wrong. That is driving me freaking insane!! I leave the display off most of the time because of it. All in all a nice lamp. Not sure it was worth the 40 some bucks though.

Très content

I only just got the Lamp, so do not know about the effects. However programming the Light is a different matter. When I try to set the date, the day changes as well but not to the correct day. In the instructions it says to set month and year, however that does not work. If I set month and day, that does not work either. Not sure what is happening.

This lamp is awesome. It has everything – USB Clock with alarm, Qi pad – I haven’t had it long enough to assess the effects of the Light Therapy to curb the SAD I experience every winter.
