Beurer TL45 Perfect Day Daylight Therapy Lamp, Simulation of Daylight at 10,000 lux medically recognised to Ease Symptoms of SAD, 3 Functions to Regulate Day/Night Rhythm, Energise, Focus and Rest

I’d heard that daylight therapy lamps are proven to help with mood and energy, so I picked this TL45 to support our "extremely sunny" winter days here in Ireland — especially with working from home and the darker mornings. First impressions are great. I usually switch it on while having my morning coffee but I also keep it on my work table, on the side, and switch it on and off several times during the work day. While it’s not some kind of miracle cure, I’ve genuinely noticed that I feel more awake and a bit more motivated on grey mornings. It really helps set a better tone for the day, especially when everything outside feels dull and flat. I don't know, maybe so far it's a bit of placebo effect as my research shows that you usually need several weeks of correct exposure to such lamps to feel effects - but even if it's psychologically so far, I'll take that haha. The good / PROs: 1. For my TL45 model, I love the functionality with 3 different light settings : Therapy, Active, and Relax. They come from the brightest to dimmest and different colours too. 2. What I've found in the manual and not advertised here on amazon is that every setting has actually different lux brightness: Therapy - 10000 lux , Active - 7000 lux, and Relax 5000 lux. 3. I like that this is a medical grade, approved device (in Therapy setting for TL45) - so you are not exposing your eyes to harmful light. Saying that please note that it is not recommended to look directly at the lamp for extended periods of time and very close. It's very bright especially in Therapy setting and can feel harsh if looking close & long. 4. It’s very lightweight, portable, and super easy to set up - just connect the charger, open the stand and you are good to go. The light itself is bright, clean, and very “daylight-like”. 5.It’s LED, so it’s energy efficient, doesn’t give off much heat. TO NOTE / What could be better: 1. No built-in timer 2. Cable could be longer 3. I wish all 3 modes for TL45 were 10k lux and medically approved, just with different colour, as I feel a bit more yellow/reddish is easier on the eyes. But maybe it's actually not realisable, not a physics expert in this regard. Overall in my opinion this lamp offers great value for your money. If you struggle with low energy or winter mood dips, especially in darker climates, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.

I've been using this for a week now and love it. It has 3 settings, morning, afternoon and evening, that's it. Very simple to use. Comes with a stand - highly recommended if the grey days get you down!

Excellent. Sits on my mum’s table while she’s watching tv. My mum Is housebound so this is ideal. Just put it on for an hour and it really lifts her mood.

Bought this to help me adjust to homeworking and the dark days of winter. This is a brilliant white light, extremely bright and easy to operate having a simple on and off switch on the front. Being LED it is very energy efficient. The power chord is a good length. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of a scheduler. To fix this, I use a smart plug and now it turns on when I start work and off at 11:00AM. I don't know if/how much this is helping but want to make sure I have the best working environment possible and have not experienced any negative effects. It's lightweight and could easily be carried around.

I got this daylight therapy lamp to help with my mood and energy, especially on those grey mornings when everything just feels a bit flat. I didn’t expect a huge difference straight away, but I’ve honestly noticed that using it regularly does help me feel more awake and a bit more motivated to start the day. I usually switch it on while I’m having my coffee or getting ready and the brightness is just right—not harsh at all but definitely enough to feel like proper daylight. It’s been especially helpful on days when I feel a bit low or sluggish. It’s lightweight and easy to move around if I want it in a different room and it doesn’t take up much space either. If you struggle with low energy or mood dips in the winter, I’d definitely recommend trying one. It’s not a miracle fix but it really does help set a better tone for the day.

This item arrived before I finished forgetting I ordered it. Efficiency at its finest.

I have been using this now for almost 2 months and I wish I had bought it long ago. Although I have never been diagnosed with SAD, I had an aunt who had it, and she once told me she would be completely lost in the winter without a light like this. In my case, I work from home are frequently do not get much daylight, which had a twofold effect. First I was always up late at night struggling to sleep at a normal hour and secondly I never seemed to wake up properly during the day. After using this light for an hour or more, every morning those sleep hours normalised after a few weeks, then I became so much sharper and awake during the day. This led to a dramatic improvement in my work motivation and general acuity as well. The light is very bright and not particularly comfortable at first, though I grew used to it and now it just goes on with the therapy light at around 6.00am every morning when I wake up and I find an hour or so is enough. I don't need it later in the day. I debated over this purchase several times due to the cost, but it really was helpful in my case.
