Bright Light Therapy Lamps

Effective therapeutic treatment

According to CET.org, bright light therapy is an effective treatment for the winter blues. It can also help relieve circadian sleep disorders, shift work adjustment, jet lag and low energy. It is safe, natural and effective.

Our BrightZone Technology delivers the maximum dose of 10,000 LUX in a broad field of illumination, featuring UV-filtered white light for your safety & comfort.

How Bright Light Therapy Works

According to CET.org, Scientists believe that bright light therapy works on different levels, producing a combined beneficial effect. When used at an appropriate morning hour (or in rare cases, evening hour), it corrects the misalignment of the internal body clock, known as the circadian rhythm, with external night and day.

who can benefit from light therapy

Who Can Benefit From Bright Light Therapy?

For those with mild to moderate Winter Blues, sleep issues, regular use of a bright light therapy device can provide relief. For most conditions, use shortly after waking or in the morning. Place your device above your line of sight, where possible, to maximize the light reaching your eyes. You should be facing the lamp with eyes open during sessions, but you do not need to look directly at the light.

Over the first few days of use, assess the effect, and if necessary, lengthen or shorten the session time based on your response.

Light therapy is a perfect solution for those who live in the middle part of the U.S., upper part of the U.S., and all of Canada to brighten the mood and increase energy during the winter months.

An Outstanding Light
UPDATE 1/12/14... This light is REALLY working for me this year, partly because I've repositioned it. I now put it on a coffee table in front of my sofa, and drag the coffee table as close to my knees as I can. This gives me a lot of bright, up-close light. I can (and do) read the newspaper or a book by placing them in front of the light or in between the legs of the stand. I try to spend 45-60 minutes in front of the light every day, and I've felt better this year than any year in my memory. I will try to post a picture of me in front of the light and coffee table. (I'm wearing a yellow long-sleeve shirt.)ORIGINAL REVIEW... I've suffered from SAD for over 20 years. Usually I just tough it out, but I HAVE tried lights, and they work for me. I haven't used them much because of their large size made it cumbersome to position them in any practical way.This light is small, lightweight, and flexible. No smell that I have ever detected. No excessive heat, either. The legs are flimsy, but removable; I've packed them in my suitcase with the light, and used the whole assembly on the other end of my airline trip.I've positioned the light behind my 21" monitor, where it fits perfectly. It's a bit bright, but definitely manageable, when I'm doing regular computer work. It's perfect for Spider Solitaire, though -- two or three games and I've got my thirty minutes in.UPDATE 1/28/12... I am still loving this light. It is SO easy to spend time in front of it, unlike the big, bulky lights I've used in the past. It has very much improved my life this winter. I sit in front of it for 30 minutes or more every morning (at my computer -- see the image I uploaded, of the unlit light behind the monitor), and whenever I start to feel bad during the day. This is often in late afternoon, around 4:00 or 4:30. I have amazingly more energy this winter than in any of the past five or ten. Usually I am a high energy creative person in the summer, but that all comes to a halt in the winter. This thing has made me summer-like this season, and I love it. (I'm reporting my clinical facts so that others might benefit. I know very well that not everyone who gets the winter blues is helped very much by light therapy. If light works for you, this unit is a great way to deliver it.)I evaluate the unit as well-designed and well-made, except for the legs, which work fine, but are flimsy. This is not much of an issue with me, since the light sits behind my 21" monitor, which gives it some support and keeps the legs out of the way. I took the light and legs on a second airline trip, and they were again very satisfactory. Everything fits in my suitcase, and because it is light in weight and has suitable strength, it travels well there. I've noticed something that might be at the root of some of the complaints about screwing on the legs. The metal screw on the legs threads into what seems to be some metal threads inserted into the plastic case of the light. It works, but I think it would be easy to cross-thread, and I won't be surprised if the female part of the joint breaks or wears out. When that happens, one can probably jury-rig a more stable connection. Time will tell.UPDATE 2/3/12... I made a simple stabilizer, which removes about 80% of the instability in the legs. See the picture I've posted. The nylon straps are a common hardware item, costing about 25 cents each. The wood was a scrap from my workshop. Four screws hold it all together. The straps do NOT grab the legs very tightly, so there is some residual side-to-side sway. I'm going to try putting a layer of tape on the legs, to let the straps really dig in. I'll also look for an alternative to the straps. In the meantime, my light is a lot more stable than when it came out of the box.
