Circadian Optics Lumos 2.0 Light Therapy Desk Lamp | As Seen On Shark Tank | 10,000 LUX UV-Free Full-Spectrum LEDs | Adjustable Portable Folding Sunlight Lamp for Seasonal Blues, Focus, Energy & Sleep

First-why did I buy it? I battle with insomnia and good sleep hygiene. I live in the north and the sun doesn't rise till quite late and I was spending too much time in bed. Wondered if I had a bit of SAD also so I was motivated to give this a try. I'm still struggling to find the perfect position for the lamp so that I get all the benefits but that will simply be trial and error for the next few days. Benefits-I've only used it for three days but I notice that if I take my blood pressure after using the light-my blood pressure in now normal instead of borderline or high. I presume that is just part of my new routine of visualizing sitting on a warm porch outside watching the sun rise as the world heats up (I also got a space heater). Its the perfect way to start the morning with a positive outlook. I think it is also great to use to support my sleep hygiene routine for insomnia since it gives me incentive to get out of bed at the proper time instead of waiting for the sun to actually come up. I love my new routine! It's easy to use, can be rotated in a multitude of positions so you can figure out what works best for you. It has a very small footprint so it takes up almost no space on my desk. I'm following the directions to gradually bring it closer and increase the amount of time that I use it each morning but I'm already seeing changes in my life and I'll continue using it! Definitely worth trying!

This lamp has worked great for us. It’s very bright for such a compact unit, and the 10,000-lux output provides strong light therapy without needing a large device taking up space. Most of the time it sits on our bathroom counter while my wife does her morning routine, and it’s perfect for that. It’s small enough to fit easily on the counter but still puts out plenty of light. The design is simple and clean, and it’s very easy to use—just turn it on and let it run while getting ready for the day. It doesn’t take up much room and blends in well with everything else on the counter. Another nice feature is the folding design, which makes it very easy to travel with—about as convenient to pack as a flat iron. It folds down flat so it doesn’t take up much space in a bag. Overall, it’s a well-designed, compact light therapy lamp that’s easy to incorporate into a normal morning routine and simple to bring along when traveling.

This is a good lamp: bright and adjustable. It does not have a timer but I just use my phone. It has a relatiely heavy base so it stands up reliably unlike most flimsy lamps. it's easy to adjust it from standing up to lying flat pointing up. I don't think it's a great travel option. It uses a country-specific wall wart with a barrel connector, not USB C ( I got a USB C / barrel adaptor). Also the weighted base (an excellent feature) means it's not ultra light. I will leave it at home if I'm just going somewhere overnight, but if I'm checking a bag I'll bring it.

Works well, wakes me up in the morning. I will say the design is a bit weird, I was expecting it to be more maneuverable but it feels more like a giant flip phone. The base is very sturdy so it does make a good lamp, easy to use single button setup. No flickering.

Good and powerful, stands up well and folds down to be less obtrustive when not in use. Note that the AI generated information says you can get the light therapy effect at the same distance from the device, reglardless of the model. (I read LOTS of them.). This is not correct. Research shows that distance and size of the lamp both matter. Search the web for independent reviews which tell you how close/far you can be from the lamp and still get the required dose of light. For some it is only 5"! For others, like this one, it is 18-24" (I think.) It seems to be helping me sleep. Will see whether it also helps mood.

Easy to set up and adjust. The light is touch controlled and works well. I prefer the lightest setting but in the heart of the winter will probably like brighter. I like that I can adjust the angle. Just for the health effects of the light, I can angle it down toward my face. My journaling, reading, or fiber work (all done after the time for health) I adjust it toward the work.

I have a lot of these types of "light therapy" lights and lamps, I have used them in my Studio for decades. This one is by far my favorite. It puts out a lot of light, and actually feels comforting in a way none of my other lights do. The cord and cord length is my least favorite thing about it, as I move this one around from my Family Room to my Kitchen, and the cord is short. I would absolutely adore this if it had some sort of battery or recharge capability. I haven't even tried the timer, but the quality of the lamp is quite good, and I'll likely buy another one for my Studio.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have experienced low energy during the winter months for years. I’m now in my mid 40’s and noticed a dip in both mood and energy levels already this year and it’s not even officially winter. I began the hunt for a lamp to help with my circadian rhythm that would not cost too much. After much research and reading of many, many reviews, I decided to get this Light Therapy lamp because of its relatively small size, unique design and lower price point. My initial review follows and I plan to update after a few weeks of use. (FYI - See Updates Below) I wanted a light therapy lamp but I didn’t want a chunky light box sitting on my table, especially when not in use, so I really like the slim design of this light. It is also a lot smaller than the typical, bigger light boxes so I appreciate the smaller footprint. I like that the lamp will swivel to get the light stream just right depending on how close I’m sitting, and the ability to choose from three output settings is a nice since I won’t always want/need the high settings when using later in the day. The light also looks sleek when closed, which is a bonus. Even though the lamp is smaller than others in this price range (under $75), I found it to be quite sturdy. I was worried it might look or feel “cheap” but it is actually well built and, dare I say, stylish? Overall I am satisfied with this purchase and hope to see the benefits of using it over the next few weeks. •••11/2/17 UPDATE••• I still love this lamp after a week and a half of use, however I thought I would mention that the lamp is tall and thin and tends to be top heavy if you have the arm with the lamp extended. The product description mentions the lamp being configurable and adjustable to a variety of positions and, though this is true, the lamp is the most sturdy when the light is set up so that the "arm" piece is vertical and close to the body of the lamp. I had this on my night stand and used it to wake up in the mornings but I had problems with the lamp tipping over with the slightest touch do to being top heavy with the arm more extended - which was my preferred set up for early mornings. I still love the lamp but am trying to get used to using it like the picture in the product description, which can be very bright depending on where you are using the lamp. I did not deduct a star as this lamp was still reasonably priced and much more stylish and compact than other light therapy lamps. So this update is more of an FYI for folks who are considering this lamp. FYI - Some reviews and info in the product Q&A mentioned usb charging and/or the ability to use this lamp unplugged via its built in battery. The lamp I received (10/2017) has a normal ac adapter and not a usb cord. It also does not appear to work when unplugged and/or include a battery for use when unplugged. I don’t know where the confusion comes from but I wanted to at least mention this in case someone was expecting to use the lamp wirelessly. Lastly, The brief manual that’s included provides basic instructions, usage info, specifications and a few FAQs. There isn’t a ton of info but it’s enough to get you started. See my included photos that (hopefully) provide an idea on size and functionality. If you found this review helpful please consider clicking the button below :)

Compact and light in handling. Easy to use and intensity is great

I've had this light for 3weeks now and very pleased with it. Nice compact design allows me to leave it on my end table without looking out of place. Very bright and sturdy, I also like the various angles that you can adjust to, to suit where you are sitting or standing. 👍👍

Resolutiva, faz a diferença na rotina de sono. So acho ruim ter q estar ligada na tomada durante o uso. Poderia ter uma carga , bateria, sei la

I am using on my sink in the morning as I get ready. It takes no space and is adjustable so it is perfect. It also helps me check my makeup with a check for outdoor real sunlight. Has been helpful to help me adjust my makeup so it looks better outside. I highly recommend.

Not returnable item whereas the roductnpage clearly mentions 10days returnable. It's a waste for me now. Product description doesn't mention about the side effects mentioned in the manual.
