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 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.

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 luminosity Preferences: 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.

This lamp arrived promptly. It was awkward to handle to assemble, and I accidentally dropped the base about two feet onto a carpeted floor. The weight that was glued to the underside of the base popped off and some small edges of the plastic frame (not visible when the lamp is standing on the table) broke off. I re-screwed the weight, and the lamp is stable. The light box component is excellent. I bought this lamp specifically because it has both a health setting and a lower task setting, and I do use both. Previously I had borrowed a friend's older version of this light, which has a sturdier metal base and arm, so I was disappointed by the flimsier plastic that is now provided.

My current PCP doesn’t have enough history with me to understand how well I know my chronic issues and didn’t believe that my Circadian Rhythm delayed-phase sleep disorder, which stress may aggravate, is not a psychosomatic issue. So, on my own, I looked up more current treatments (I was last treated for it 25 yrs ago with mild sleeping pills and sleep hygiene training) and found the clinical guidelines for light therapy. No drugs needed! Given that my system is under major stress with my current severe health crisis, I didn’t want to try and work it out slowly with disciplined sleep hygiene regimen, but wanted a quicker treatment that would be minimally taxing. I highly recommend light therapy and the manufacturer posts the specific clinical guidelines for the five or six types of sleep disorders in adults and children that light therapy actually works for. I’ve been using my lamp as consistently as I can between hospital stays and appointments and can say that it works for me. There is no cure for my sleep disorder, only the ability to reset and then maintain until life circumstances throws it off again. The light is affordable, doesn’t require prescription, and helps my mood. Because of my health issues, maintaining a more positive frame of mind is difficult and I’m under lifting restrictions so the lamp placement isn’t optimum, but still works. You’ll need a sturdy base , I use a side table and when I can move it, a well-designed sturdy bed laptop tray. This design has the largest surface, but is slightly top-heavy and solid, so weight might be an issue when someone is in recovery or under lifting restrictions as I am temporarily. My only wish is for a dimmer. Because of my current limitations, a dimmer would make the regular light setting work better for me as a reading light. As it is, I use a light colored pillow case to cover and that works.

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

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"

This particular lamp was recommended to me as being the best on the market pretty much, and I’ve been very happy with it! I was having major sleep issues because of immunosuppressants I’m on, so it was recommended that I get this to help reset my circadian rhythm. Well, I’ve been using it every morning for 2 weeks and I must say within days I felt better. Not just my sleep improvement, that’s still an issue because of all those dang pills, but I have felt really, really good! All of a sudden, I feel happier, and way more energetic. I have taken up bike riding even and just look forward to all the things I can do in a day now. It’s crazy that a lamp could do that! I live in the Pacific Northwest, a.k.a. months of dark gray rainy thick cloud cover and it’s the beginning of December right now. I’ve lived here for 25 years and I can’t believe I’m only finding out about this now! I mean, I had heard of lamps before, but I always thought it was just for people who were extremely depressed or something, I had no idea that it’s something that everybody needs in the winter if they live in the northern hemisphere!!! Our body needs the sun to function properly. So I am just amazed to have only discovered this now and to be feeling so great about life, I truly love this lamp and I wish everybody could get one who lives in the northern hemisphere. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ☀️ Anyhow, great quality and product! PS Every morning, even the cats gather close with it when I put it on and I say to them: “you guys look, it’s sunny today! Let’s sunbathe!” It feels like I’m literally putting on a happy light. It’s hard to explain, but it’s pretty magical…. Update: my sleep has totally improved! Mind you I have adjusted my night supplements, so I’m not sure if it’s my adjusted night supplements or resetting my circadian rhythm with this lamp that did it, or both, but this is totally helped me Sleep plus totally helped my mood! Also, one of our kids always gets a bit grumpy in the winter and so I’ve had them sitting in front of it every morning for the last couple of weeks, and they are less grumpy now. So this is pointing to quite a necessary element of life it seems: THE SUN! ☀️

I've been meaning to get a SAD lamp for years and I'm so glad I finally did it, this is a great product! i set it up on the kitchen table and turn it on every morning while I drink my coffee. It picks me up when it's grey outside and feels fantastic when it's sunny, like getting closer to the sun :) It's true that if you skip it for a few days you notice the difference but that's made me keep a tighter grip on my morning routine so an overall plus if I'm honest. The arm or stem part can be a little janky but once you have it where you want it, it stays in place. If I could change anything I wish the plug was at the base instead of coming from the back of the screen but that's a really minor design thing.

I like that I can sit 12 inches away from the light and read while I'm 'dosing' for 30 minutes. That said, the size of the light is so large that I found it difficult to integrate into my furniture arrangement. I live in a location which has been very cloudy & I think the light is helping me to feel more energetic.
