Verilux HappyLight Lumi Plus - Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV-Free, LED Bright White Light with Adjustable Brightness, Countdown Timer, & Detachable Stand - Boost Mood, Sleep, and Focus

This light is extremely effective! When I was looking at different options, I was skeptical and worried if a small lamp could work. But I've tried it for a couple months in the depths of winter, and I honestly don't think I need a larger lamp than this. Just ten minutes with this lamp, even in the dark morning, makes me feel awake and human again! I could easily take this traveling as well if I needed to because of its portable size. If you're like me, you may not need a big lamp! It's actually really convenient that it's so small because I can move it super easily from my bedside to my desk to the table in the morning if I need to. Give it a try!

I recently moved to Washington, and adjusting to the darker, cloudier days has been a bit of a challenge. I decided to try the Verilux HappyLight, and it has honestly made such a positive difference in my daily routine. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to incorporate into my mornings. I turn it on while I’m having coffee or getting ready, and it really helps me feel more awake and focused without that sluggish feeling. The light feels natural—bright but not overwhelming. Since using it, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my mood, especially on those gray, rainy days. It’s become a small but powerful part of my self-care routine and has helped me adjust to my new environment. If you’re dealing with limited sunlight or seasonal mood changes, I would definitely recommend the Verilux HappyLight. It’s been such a helpful addition for me.

I live in one of the northernmost states, and the winters are DARK, yuck. I have been told by multiple medical professionals to get a light to see if it would help my winter blues! I finally did, and I am so thankful I did. Please try this; it might change your life. When I use this for 15-30 minutes a day, the pressure that holds me down and prevents me from functioning disappears. Depression just stops. For me, it worked in 2 days, yeah, 2. I must have needed it, lol. The light is sturdy and plenty bright. No flickering. It's about the size of a tablet or iPad.

Works well. Even the lowest setting is pretty bright.

Love the simple design with three diff light intensities and a timer with 15 mins increments up to an hour! One thing to note is that for this light to work it must be plugged in. I guess I assumed the cord was for charging and the unit could then be disconnected to go remote. This is not the case. However, it's probably a good thing, so that I must stay stationary and focus my attention on one thing only while using the light... ya know, considering it is meant to be part of a de-stresser and mood booster anyhow! ;-) Thank you for this product!

I have been using the light for almost a week for 30 minutes in the morning. I quickly worked up to the brightest setting and plan to go 45 minutes tomorrow and see if I feel even better. I don't have what you'd call seasonal depression, I got the light to try to balance out my circadian rhythm which gets out of whack every fall/winter season due to the decreased availability of natural morning light. I feel I have already noticed an improvement on initial feelings of wakefulness after each use. I suspect even greater improvements will follow with continued use. The light is of high quality and not even the slightest bit flimsy or cheap feeling. I use the included stand on the side table in my living room as I catch up on emails and enjoy my coffee. I also like that you can set the time for 15 minute increments for up to 1 hour. If you are considering purchasing one I would highly recommend it. The way I've approached the use of it is, "it can't hurt, it can only help."

I've had this for two days and LOVE it! I work in a room with no windows to the outside, and that makes it very difficult when I drive TO work in the dark, and drive FROM work in the dark. This light is very bright, and I love the stand. It's very slim and compact, much like the early Kindles, so you can place it and store it almost anywhere. The timer is a great idea; you can set it for 15 minutes at a time, up to one hour. You can also adjust the brightness. You do need to be looking at it (indirectly) while you're using it, so place it somewhere that you can see it while you're reading, doing paperwork, crocheting, putting together your model airplanes, etc.

I bought this for my office due to the lack of windows and it's been really helpful with improving my mood and energy throughout the day. I haven't used the timer, instead I set it to the lowest setting each day and set it next to my keyboard while I check my emails for the first 30 minutes of the day then turn it off. I also sometimes turn it to the 3rd and brightest setting when I'm at a side table during my lunch so it appears as if the sun is shining bright into my office, it's a fun trick when I can't get outside on my lunch and helps my mood. The funny thing is I spent the whole first day thinking this was broken. I set it up and followed the directions step by step and the button wouldn't work until I went to put it back in it's box when I saw the on/off button...which sounds super silly but it's on the top right and wasn't mentioned in the directions.

Works well. I love the timer

Truly has been a life saver with my SAD!!! I live in Canada and the days are very short....this light has made a huge difference in my mood and I don't feel the tightness in my chest of sadness. I am very happy !!! I like the easy turn off and on button. It's sturdy on the table. The timer for auto shut-off is in 15 min increments, up to an hour. It's very bright and has 3 brightness settings. I keep it on the table and during my morning ☕ coffee I have it on for about 15 or 20 min. it's been a game changer for me enduring the cold and dark winters!! Very happy!!

I bought this because I was working overnight shifts at my job and I would be very tired all the time especially during my nights off. I got this towards the end of my time working the overnights and it really helped. It is extremely bright, and it feels good quality. My one wish was that it connected via USB C rather than the outdated mini USB (I find the mini USB falls out fairly easily). This is possible using the USB PD spec which can output 20v of power which is close to the 19v that this uses. It would have also allowed this to easily operate off of a power bank which would have been nice.

Very bright! Easy to use, very lightweight and slender. I use it for my seasonal depression and it works for me. Easy to use timer and brightness levels.

Terrific product.
