Verilux HappyLight Lumi Plus - Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV-Free, LED Bright White Light with Adjustable Brightness, Countdown Timer, & Detachable Stand - Boost Mood, Sleep, and Focus

Seems like it will work for SAD. Easy to set up, very bright, and has a timer! I love it! You can also use it if you’re making videos, etc. The lighting is great for videos. Seems like it will hold up well and I like that the stand comes off if you need to pack it up. Great value and I’ll definitely update later!

I recently moved to Washington, and adjusting to the darker, cloudier days has been a bit of a challenge. I decided to try the Verilux HappyLight, and it has honestly made such a positive difference in my daily routine. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to incorporate into my mornings. I turn it on while I’m having coffee or getting ready, and it really helps me feel more awake and focused without that sluggish feeling. The light feels natural—bright but not overwhelming. Since using it, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my mood, especially on those gray, rainy days. It’s become a small but powerful part of my self-care routine and has helped me adjust to my new environment. If you’re dealing with limited sunlight or seasonal mood changes, I would definitely recommend the Verilux HappyLight. It’s been such a helpful addition for me.

I love it! Absolutely everything I wanted at a great price. It's on my bedside table and I turn it on for 10 minutes as soon as I wake up. (Once I've done it for longer I'll up the time.) it has already really increased my energy levels. Great way to really wake up!

The lamp works as far as its primary purpose goes, it seems like it’s helping with my wintertime blues. My only complaint is that the timer just doesn’t work sometimes. There are four lights on the bottom that light up to indicate how long you’ve set the timer for (15 minutes per light) and two or three times I’ve had it just not tick down and turn off as it should. Like I noticed it had been on for awhile and put a 15 minute timer on to see if one of the indicator lights turned off (as it should in that time), and it didn’t. It’s not a horrible problem, but you may want to keep an eye on the clock when you turn it on just to make sure you’re not sitting there for longer than you want or need to.

Simple to use, and it's become part of my daily routine. Compact enough to leave out on the desk. Very happy with it.

Have been using most days since I purchased. I have found that if I use it first thing in the morning as I am drinking my tea, I will fall asleep more quickly, sleep more soundly and for longer at night. If I use it later in the day, it's not as effective for me. I do not suffer from SAD, so I cannot comment on that. I haven't used the timer or kept track of how much time I have used per session. I just keep it on as I am checking emails, etc. Probably 45 minutes.

Works great

I wish the little stand it leans on was bigger! A little bump and it knocks over.

Maybe its placebo, maybe it works, either way I notice a big difference in mood when used. Working night shift in the winter is hard and this definitely helps.

Truly has been a life saver with my SAD!!! I live in Canada and the days are very short....this light has made a huge difference in my mood and I don't feel the tightness in my chest of sadness. I am very happy !!! I like the easy turn off and on button. It's sturdy on the table. The timer for auto shut-off is in 15 min increments, up to an hour. It's very bright and has 3 brightness settings. I keep it on the table and during my morning ☕ coffee I have it on for about 15 or 20 min. it's been a game changer for me enduring the cold and dark winters!! Very happy!!

Not sure how to use it because all 3 intensities are extremely bright. I guess it does what it's supposed to

Ontario winters seem to progressively have more grey days and along with it my husband’s grumpy mood. So for my own sanity, I purchased the Verilux Happy Light Lumi Plus for him as it was well reviewed and reasonably priced. Amazon had the best price and as always the quickest shipping. He has it set up beside his computer and turns it on daily while he checks his emails. He’s not sure if it’s just placebo effect but says he feels better than usual at this time of year. After getting his feedback I purchased another one for my father, who due to age doesn’t get outside as much during the winter and his mood also seems to suffer from the lack of sunshine.

I use everyday
