HappyLight® Alba - New Round UV-Free LED Therapy Lamp, Bright White Light with 10,000 Lux, Adjustable Brightness, Color, and Countdown Timer

I've been using another lamp from a different company for years now but wanted to try this one as well. I've been using it for several days now and can confirm positive results. What I like: -The unit feels robust and everything feels high quality. -The LED light is perfectly uniform and reveals little to no flickering when I point my camera at it unlike my first SAD lamp. -Choice of 3 tints from white - warm - warmest is an excellent option. -Touch controls work well. Love the timer feature that uses LED lights to show much time is left -Solid stand. One reason I chose this is the other lamps have flimsy looking stands. The only disadvantage is this one is fixed and cannot be adjusted or removed -Completely silent. My first lamp has a hissing sound. -3 year warranty, giving me peace of mind that I can use this for hours on end. -The lamp is just as bright as my other one that is rated at 10,000 lux at 7 inches. The manual says this lamp is rated at 10,000 lux at 6 inches perhaps because of the smaller light area. I prop the lamp on a box and keep it close to my face to achieve this (see picture). But remember, you can keep the lamp further if desired, but you just need to have longer sessions to get the same therapeutic effects. -The benefits I've noticed is that I am more alert and don't easily get sleepy during the day. I also get tired early at night, making it easy to go to bed early, stay asleep, and wake up early. I also notice a better mood overall. When I wake up in the morning and have adjusted to normal indoor light, I then use this lamp at the lowest setting and slowly increase every minute or so until at max brightness. I use the lamp for 1-3 hours in the morning and don't use it past 2pm. My sleep has been amazing also because I don't spend my evenings on a screen anymore but go to sleep early after reading a book.

I will never buy this brand's products again. After using it for just over a week, the connector cable broke, and I couldn’t find a similar replacement cable on the market. I contacted HappyLight’s customer service, and they told me to reach out to the Amazon store. However, it seemed that the store name had changed. After mistakenly sending my message to the wrong store, I contacted Amazon customer service, and they helped me get in touch with the current store. But the current store then told me to contact HappyLight headquarters. After going in circles and wasting so much of my time, the issue was never resolved. I ended up just throwing the product away. I'm now using a different brand's floor-standing light therapy lamp, and it works great.

If you live in a place with gray winters, this light is a must-have. I’ve been using the Verilux HappyLight as part of my morning routine, and the difference in my energy levels is noticeable. It provides a bright, clean light that really helps clear the morning fog and get my brain into "work mode." The design is slim and doesn't take up much space on a desk, making it easy to use while I'm reading or working on my laptop. It’s simple to operate, but the real value comes from the consistency of using it every day. It has become a key tool for staying disciplined with my mood and focus when the sun isn't out. Highly recommended for anyone looking to maintain their momentum year-round.

One of the better lights I've gotten. I love that you can change the tint and the brightness to suit.

I have never used one of these lights.This is small compared to a lot that is offered which appealed to me. I like the ease of use and the options you have in setting it up to use. You have 4 light strengths and 4 colour shades of light to choose from. How effective less light would be I have no idea. It is bright, but you can start out with a lower setting for light intensity and time and work up to what you need. The booklet is clear in directions and use. Heed the warnings if you have any issues. I bought this in November with skepticism it'd would help, HOWEVER I have found it has helped me through the darker period of winter so far, and I am less dragged down by the grey weather on the coast. Also my sleep has improved incredibly which was a huge surprise for me. I would recommend it, but you have to know it takes awhile - a month or 2 before you may feel some effects.
