I purchased this light nine months ago, and I love it! Beware, it does take up a large footprint.
My psychologist recommended I look into purchasing a light, and said to make sure that it was full-spectrum and at least 10,000 lux. This one was more expensive than several other options, but I really liked the look of it. I still do! My not-so-little pyramid of happy, as I think of it.
I also chose this one because it is brighter than many, meaning it can sit a little further back and still work.
And I was surprised at how well this works for me! I use it as recommended: placed just to the left of my monitor, about 18” back from where I sit. While it is sometimes annoying to have to use it this way, this is NOT impacting my review because all lights for this disorder would cause the same annoyance when used appropriately. They HAVE to be in your field of view, and HAVE to shine into your eyeballs. So. What this lamp has going for it is that it is a super-broad field of intense light, and not just a small spot of it. Other lamps I’ve used can be too much like having a flashlight sitting there in the edge of your vision.
Speaking of the benefits, in addition to helping my mood tremendously, this has also had a very strong effect on my desire to go to bed at an appropriate time. I’m pretty good at staying up waaaay too late, and that is at least in part because my body doesn’t seem to send the “hey, I’m sleepy now. It is getting late. Hey! Super-late now, go to bed!” And so on. However, when I blast myself with this for at least an hour every morning, it has made that signal actually strong enough for me to pay attention, and actually get my butt to bed. This means that I’ve actually turned it on during the summer for a couple of days in a row, when I find my sleep cycle getting screwy. It doesn’t pop it back in line nearly as much as it does in winter (although that may be more because I use it every day once mornings are dark when I get to work), but it does help enough to get myself reset.
I highly recommend this lamp! If you don’t want the fairly large footprint, my recommendation is to definitely look for the wider/taller lamps, that have a broad lighted area. Especially if you’ve had troubles in the past with a smaller lamp causing headaches or eye strain; the broader lamps put out the same amount of light, but since it is spread out it is less intense at a specific point. This has helped me a lot.

Arrived with Bulb Broken
Couldn't even try it.The bulb, placed in a box wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap, arrived broken, as shown in the photo. I read other reviews of parts arriving damaged, but decided to take a chance. It would be my luck that a functional piece of the item would arrive unusable. Will be contacting the appropriate persons to have this resolved. Will update review when the device is working.
