Carex Day-Light Classic Plus Sunlight Therapy Lamp - 10000 LUX Therapy Lamp at 12 Inches, LED Bright White Light with Adjustable Height and Brightness Levels for Mood, White

I bought this lamp and decided to measure it with my AH-300 lux meter to see what it actually delivers.At normal sitting distance, the average LUX across the main exposure area was around 15,000lx. Color temperature measured close to 4000K, which feels appropriate for daily light therapy — bright, neutral, not overly blue.What I appreciated most during testing was being able to see not just the center reading, but the overall distribution. The AH-300 makes it easy to record multiple points and calculate the average, so you get a more realistic picture instead of relying on a single peak number.If you’re comparing therapy lamps, having a reliable meter like the AH-300 really changes how you evaluate them. Specs on the box don’t always reflect real use distance or uniformity.In this case, the lamp performs well — and the measurements confirm it.

Overall a great light for those dark and grey winter days in the Pacific Northwest. Note, this is a large light and needs space.Positives: Excellent size, easy to use, solid stand, impactful luminosityPreferences: The base is large and requires a good amount of space. it would be great if the light would not only pivot vertically, but the ability to rotate left and right would improve adaptability for those who have less space. I use this on my desk at my office and because of its size and inability to move left or right, I have to move the entire unit to use it.Overall I gave it five stars for ease of set up and use. Large lighting area, effectiveness and quality.

I can’t speak to the durability (I see that they have a warranty, so hopefully they’ll honor that if the durability issues are true), but I’ve had no issues so far a few weeks in.This light has been a game changer for me in the morning. I really struggle with mornings during the winter season when it’s darker later. It has felt impossible to wake up. Having this light has made mornings tolerable and has made a noticeable difference in how I feel in the morning. It’s easy to use, the light quality is good. It’s not an eyesore necessarily, but it’s huge! So make sure you have a space for it.I also think it made my pothos grow more, interestingly enough.

The lamp does work & actually does seem to help my mood as the days get shorter & darker. It is also one of the few that has enough height to be set up to shine down on you from overhead*** - the way SAD lamp light is meant to be applied. However, it includes a lot of plastic and as other reviews state, may not last very long. An irritation from the get go is that the power cord does not stay securely attached to the screen. Any slight pull or knock will disengage it.*** I place mine on a table that is the same height as the arm of the chair I'm sitting in. If you instead prefer to use it at a desk or a table, you may need to raise the device somehow to have the light come from overhead.

After using this through the darkest days of winter. I can say that it supported a better mood and energy. I believe it even helped me regulate my schedule better.

I wanted to like this product. As a light therapy device, it meets the recommended criteria of 10,000 LUX at a reasonable specified distance, height adjustable, overhead angled light, zero/low UV, non-LED bulbs (LED potentially unsafe at that strength), glare and flicker-free, and a large light box (to ensure you are still in the treatment zone if you move your head). Unfortunately, it is of poor quality and the Carex customer service is terrible.The light worked great for about 4 days, then one bulb died. I carefully followed the instructions provided to remove the plastic cover and remove the bulb. It was challenging to remove the plastic cover and then I was unable to remove the dead bulb. It was stuck and I feared breaking glass if I used any more force. I was able to remove one of the other bulbs, so I know I was doing it correctly.Over the course of an entire week, I tried calling Carex customer service several times a day during their business hours. No answer on their consumer customer service line and no one returned my voicemail messages. After may attempts, I finally reached a customer service rep on their medical professional line. She said she was brand new at the job and the only thing she could do was offer to email me the same instruction manual I already had. I asked to speak to a technical support person and she said she would get back to me. It's been several more days and no word. Still no return calls from my other voicemail messages. I then finally again reached a rep at their medical professional line. The next woman couldn't provide help either. I asked about their warranty and the woman would not provide any concrete information.If it wasn't for Amazon's return policy, I would be out several hundred dollars. Fortunately, this product died within the 30 day return window with Amazon. I had hoped to get some trouble shooting help from the manufacturer, but customer service was terrible. I would have just replaced the dead bulb if I could have removed the old bulb. I would have retuned the unit for a new one if I trusted Carex would stand by their product should it become defective outside the Amazon 30 day return window.I don't know of another manufacturer of light therapy boxes that meets the recommended tech specs by the research. Hopefully another manufacturer will improve on the design and build quality and stand behind their products with a clear warranty and excellent customer service.As an added "bonus", I am unable to disassemble the giant device to fit back into it's original packaging. Plastic components snapped together in the initial assembly, but now there is not a way to take them apart. So I will be shipping this product back in a larger box I will go out to buy and hope for the best. Terrible.

Firstly, you're not going to find any tangible proof that this (or any light therapy) works in a review. Unless someone is experiencing increased depressed moods while using this light, it's very hard to tell if light therapy alone actually is or is not helping.Despite the fact that I have no proof that this light helps my mood I use it every day.I really do believe that it helps me. I am also under the care of a psychiatrist who prescribes me antidepressants to help my Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The summer my doctor recommended that I look into light therapy, I knew I needed a light capable of 10,000 LUX and a stand that would allow the light to shine down at my eyes instead of up at me. I researched these lights on the internet and fond 3 that I was interested in. To be 100% honest, I purchase this model because it was less than $150 and I could buy it on Amazon with free Prime shipping. Positive reviews influenced me as well.Since, if you're reading this review, you've probably pretty close to making up your mind about light therapy I will give you the lowdown on this light:You should expect this to be a bright light, it is, after all trying to mimic the sun. You need to be facing it to get the full effect and this does make doing other things, like looking at a computer screen, somewhat difficult. I find my eyes adjust after a few minutes and I am able to drink my coffee and write emails while the light is on. The stand does take up a lot of room! I usually put it on the floor after I finish using it in the morning. I also do not find the task lighting helpful. It is too bright for normal everyday use. Another unrelated advantage, it's great lighting for doing certain tasks like applying dust free screen protectors and taking pictures of things for Amazon reviews. ;)If you feel rundown with lack of sun I believe this product will help you!

I have suffered from SAD for about 10 years. Ever since I moved from the East Coast to Wisconsin, I suffer from depression starting at around early October lasting until April-ish. I have tried pretty much everything I could think of, except for prescription psychotropic medication. I've done supplements, herbal supplements, homeopathy, consistent exercise throughout the entire winter, dietary changes (several different types over the years, and even a Philips GoLite Blue. The blue light never worked, no matter how consistent I was. NOTHING worked. I should note that I was never dangerously depressed, but just "blah" from Fall to Spring.I finally caved and saw my GP and discussed my depression. Though he initially wanted to put me on prescription medications, I expressed my concerns and that I'd be willing to try ANYTHING first prior to prescription medications, if he could think of anything. He mentioned to give light therapy a try. I got a prescription for a light box, and contacted my durable medical equipment provider.It didn't work out with insurance and I wasn't able to get it through them, but I did learn of what they were going to give to me with a doctor's order, and I tracked it down on Amazon. I ended up purchasing this privately because I was starting to feel the depression coming on. I literally felt AMAZING within about 3 days. The following week, I really noticed the change when I was driving with the sunroom open on a sunny day, and found that I was actually smiling for no reason, just smiling taking in the beauty of the day and weather! I haven't felt that good in years!Since then, I've used it since 9/21/16, about 2 months. I notice that when I take several days off, I feel my mood shift. I also noticed that it reset my sleep pattern literally within 2 days. I don't need an alarm clock to wake up now. If I use my lamp at 5AM, I literally awaken at 5AM whether I want to or not. This is great for consistency for work, but bad on weekends when I want to sleep in. Also bad for nights I stay up late for something, because I'm up at 5AM regardless! Stay up to 1AM playing video games, I'm up at 5AM! Kinda sucks, but I can't fault the machine for that... It's also large, and you will need a sturdy place to keep it because it's heavy too. But it needs to be big I believe to work effectively. I wish it had less plastic around the base and more metal. It's already heavy, so I could deal with a little more if it were all metal. I also wish it used LEDs instead of old-school florescent lights. But maybe LEDs wouldn't be as effective? My blue light was small and LED (still bright though), but it wasn't effective...I would HIGHLY recommend this for Seasonal Affective Disorder/Major Depression. This literally saved my life and marriage, and I'm finding life up north bearable now, versus dreading it every Fall. Avoid the smaller lamps, and those gimmick blue lights. They do nothing.

I loved the bright light therapy but so disappointed the the voltage is 120 USA and I love. In dubai I use 240 volts. Please can I order a 240;volts thank you

ライト部分と脚立部分はネジで留める構造のため、分離することができます。ライト部分は非常に軽く、またネジで留める部分は10㎝ × 10cm の規格のため、一般的なモニターアームにつけて使用することもできます。

Leider handelt es sich hierbei um absolutes Billigmaterial.Auf den Bildern sieht es so aus, als wäre diese Lampe ihren Preis eventuell wert, vor allem da es eine der wenigen Tageslichtlampen ist, die einen Standfuß hat.Aber lasst die Finger davon! Die Produktion wird wahrscheinlich 20€ gekostet haben und ist "Made in China"
