Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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!
