Beurer TL30UK SAD Lamp | Helps combat seasonal affective disorder | Daylight therapy lamp with 10,000 lux | Adjustable stand and travel bag | UV-free LED light therapy | Medical device

Quick Verdict A compact and effective daylight lamp that genuinely helps lift mood during dark winter months. Easy to use and convenient to keep on a desk, it makes a noticeable difference, especially in the mornings when daylight is lacking. More in Detail This SAD lamp has been particularly helpful during winter, especially for someone used to living in sunnier climates where natural daylight is more abundant. Using it in the morning helps counter that heavy, low-energy feeling that often comes with darker days, and over time it’s had a positive impact on overall mood. The lamp is simple to operate with a single button and fits neatly on a desk without taking up much space. It feels well-made, produces a bright but comfortable light, and doesn’t cause any glare or discomfort. The fact that it’s UV-free and energy-efficient makes it easy to use daily without any concerns, and the travel pouch is a nice bonus for portability.

This TL30 has been a great help for more than 2 years! I've recently upgraded to TL45 and gifted this one to my parents - but it's still a brilliant device that works and considerably cheaper (while doing the same thing). I usually switched it on while having my morning coffee but I also kept it on my work table, on the side, and switched 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. Note that researches show that you usually need several weeks of correct exposure to such lamps to feel the beneficial effects. The good / PROs: 1. Nice, compact, slim and portable + a convenient stand and cover. Easy to cary with you around house and taking with you on travels. My newer tl45 is much bulkier and less convenient in this regard. 2. I like that this is a medical grade, approved device - 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 and can feel harsh if looking close & long. 3. It’s very lightweight and 0 setup haha, just connect the charger, put 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 (for whoever it matters, but there is none) 2. There is no other colour for the light like in tl 45 for example. I like the warmer ones but in fairness they are weaker too in terms of output lux. And in fairness it's probably expected as this model is at least twice cheaper than tl45 while still providing the therapeutic 10k lux light. Overall in my opinion this lamp offers amazing value for your money and is kinda natural source of enhancing your day! If you struggle with low energy or winter mood dips, especially in darker climates, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try! Hope it helps like it did for me! Stay well & cheers!

After years of suffering sudden low moods at roughly the same time each year I decided to see whether a sad lamp could provide any relief. I invested in the cheapest lamp from the range due to its size and portability for when I go away plus I wanted to ensure it had a distinct benefit before I invested in a more advanced model. The light is well packed, comes with a useful stand that adjusts easily for portrait or landscape positions and has a carry case for travelling. One thing to note is that the travel bag does not fit the plug, it is more for protection of the light rather than keep everything together. The lamp is well made and durable. It has a stylish all white look that feels clinical, neat with an almost medicinal look which suits its function. The light itself is bright white and quite shockingly bright when you first use it. However, this initial shock wears off as you get used to it and realise the room actually looks like a summer day. It advices to direct it 10-30cm from your face and look directly into the light for a few minutes at a time. This takes a little getting used to as it is so bright but oddly not bright in a headache, eye strain way and you do not get any blur in front of your eyes when you stop looking at it. I have been using the lamp for a few weeks and whether it works is still to be determined but I will say this. It is now a part of my morning routine that I value and I would miss it if I didn’t have it. I will be taking it away with me when I go on holiday in a few weeks. The biggest test for me will be next year when I intend to use it before the dreaded low mood, sad Winter feeling descends in order to see whether I can avoid the feelings by a daily light dose. I’ve programmed my calendar to start using it in September so only time will tell but until then I’m extremely happy with my purchase. So why only 4 stars? The on/off button is made of silicone and slightly awkward to use without using a finger nail to push down. This concerns me regarding its durability if, over time, the silicone wears away or splits but again, only time will tell.

Update 09/02/22: After a couple of months use I can honestly say this thing is brilliant (no pun intended!) I've got used to the brightness of the light and & now have it in front of me on my desk all day until 4 or 5 pm. It helps keep me focused & alert, and my insomnia's clearly improved. Despite some very difficult circumstances, I feel its also helping to keep depression at bay. Original review: This was a great purchase - I had a very expensive SAD lamp about 12 years ago that was 3 or 4 times the size of this and very bulky. That one got broken last time we moved, so because my mood's been low recently and my sleep cycle's really messed up, I decided it was time to invest in a new one. I bought this particular model because it was the cheapest SAD lamp I could find from a reputable manufacturer. I was sceptical that such a tiny lamp could be any good, but I'm happy to have been proved wrong. Yes, it's tiny size means you either need to have it very close to your face or use it for longer than my old lamp to get the full effect, but because it's so dinky, it's easy to whip out and switch on anywhere there's a plug socket. The lead on the plug is over 5 ft long (about 155 cm) which has been plenty for my needs, but an extension lead could always be used if required. Since my lamp arrived 3 days ago I've placed it on the table in front of me each morning whilst eating breakfast - it's easily propped up using the little stand provided. However the best thing for me was realising I can pop it in the tablet slot on my desk whilst I'm working (see photos). Initially this obscured my laptop screen, but the box the lamp came in was just the right size to raise my laptop to the right height! The lamp does feel very bright so close to my face, and I believe working like this for too long would probably cause a headache, but it's easy to switch the lamp on and off, so I'm using it in short bursts throughout the day, which (for me at least) seems the best way to use it. Beurer's official blurb states the light therapy takes about 7 days to take effect. I've not had it that long,so I can't vouch for this lamp's longer-term effects, but over two days of regular use, I feel it's made me a little more positive and alert by day, and best of all, I fell asleep by 11:30 pm last night and stayed asleep until morning which is virtually unheard of! Having said that, I've also just switched from CBD to Valerian as a calmer/sleep aid, so how much of this can be attributed to the lamp I don't know. There seems to be plenty of scientific evidence online to back the manufacturers claims for this lamp. My gut feeling is that the lamp will have a substantial role to play in resolving seasonal low mood and sleep issues, but only as part of a wider strategy that includes eating healthily, physical exercise, practicing some kind of mindfulness, sleep hygeine, and supplementing with relevant vitamins & minerals (most Brits need D3 during winter months, plus many are deficient in B12, B6, magnesium, iodine & omega 3 fatty acids). As I was already working on other lifestyle factors, I'm hoping this lamp will be the final piece of the puzzle. I'll try and remember to add an update in a few week's time to comment on any longer-term effects, but, so far, so good :) Conclusion: this tiny & low-priced lamp seems well made, is just as effective as my previous much larger model, and is incredibly easy to use, store or carry around.

I picked up the Beurer TL30UK SAD lamp (open box, “very good” condition) with a 26% discount — and I’m so glad I did! Despite being “open box,” it looked practically brand new, and it arrived with everything, including the travel pouch. I bought this to help with the impending winter slump — low energy, sluggish mornings, and that general fog that seems to settle in during the darker months. It’s compact enough to sit on my desk without taking up space, and I love that it’s super easy to use — just one button and it’s on. The 10,000 lux brightness is powerful but not harsh, and there’s no flicker or UV, so it’s gentle on the eyes. Plus, the adjustable stand is a nice touch for angling it just right. Overall, this little lamp will become a staple in my morning routine — highly recommend if you’re looking for a natural way to fight off the winter blues! I’ve also read it helps with your sleep routine 😴

This was a lifesaver over winter. I suffer from SAD so decided to purchase a light box of some kind. I was sceptical about whether it would work for me so I didn't want to spend too much but still wanted something effective. I settled on this product as it was considerably cheaper than other options but still medically verified and seemed reputable. I am so glad I took the leap. The light is very bright indeed, especially on gloomy winter mornings. The little green removable 'leg' on the back helps you position it on a surface near your face. I like to sit next to it and read, so it helps me start the day in a healthy, calming way. It comes with a pouch to keep it safe in a bag so when I went away for Christmas I could easily take it with me. It's similar dimensions to a tablet so fits super easily in a rucksack or bag designed for work etc. It's mains powered so you do have to bring the cable with you and find somewhere to plug it in, but at least this means there aren't any batteries to worry about changing! Plus the cable is long enough to reach a socket on the floor if you have it on the bed, for example. After using it for half an hour in the mornings I feel more energised, confident and able to face the day. It's not quite the same as a bright, sunny, summer's day, but it's a lifeline for me as I find it near impossible to enjoy a day in winter without it.

It seems to do the job, but it has a tendency to flicker. Should probably be avoided by anybody that can’t tolerate strobe lights.

Excellent, cost effective SAD lamp. You need to get your face right next to it, but you notice the difference quickly. Eyes feel a large reduction in weariness and helps you to wake up.

Impossible à brancher car c'est une prise anglaise. Malhonnête de ne pas le mentionner.

Light is bright. Problem is the flickering. It develops after 3-4 weeks. It is really annoying. It stops after about 10 minutes like it heats up.

Falscher Stecker. Lampe ging nicht mal an

I bought this product and it was fantastic for the first few days however after a very short period of time it started to flicker, I logged an issue however no one got back to me and the product has never worked properly since. It is constantly flickering and as a result I can’t leave it on.

Lampe kam schnell. Ausprobieren ging nicht, da der Stecker nicht in deutsche Steckdosen passt. Ist ein US Stecker dabei. Die selbe Lampe dann im Media Markt für weniger Geld und richtigem Stecker geholt.
