Verilux HappyLight Mini Portable Compact Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV Free, LED Light with Adjustable Brightness, Improve Mood, Improve Sleep and Focus,

Very bright, handy to move around the house. I feel better already.

Effective, compact and highly portable, perfect for winter-time business travel and will slip into any pocket in your briefcase or backpack. Solid value for those of us who need a little help "getting up and going" in the winter time. Runs off any USB-C, this is good to go. I need help in the wintertime and value these Happy Lights. I have had an original Verlux Happy Light for many years now, and it has been essential to me making it through the winter time productively. I have been in a high pressure career for decades where almost every day is "go-go-go" and I simply can't afford the luxury of basking in the hazy shade of winter as I would like. Keeping the original light right at my desk has been of huge value to me, and it's still going strong to this day. A few months ago I was lucky enough to find another one at a thrift shop, and installed it on my night stand - some mornings I think it's the only reason I can make it to the gym in the mornings. However, none of these original halogen ones are at all portable, so when I had to travel for a week of full day meetings in Novembr I knew I would want some help. I was very happy to find this portable light. It's quite thin and portable, easily slipping into my briefcase, and runs off a USB-C cable off my travel charger. What really impressed me about it is the high output - actually stronger than my old halogen ones. I could place it on the hotel dresser, and still get plenty of light in the mornings as I got dressed for my meetings. It took gave me the "get up and go" I needed to hit the hotel gym before work, and stay alert and functional all day. I consider it a solid value for the money, and is now part of my permanent wintertime "go kit" for travel. Although I don't have any basis of refernece for other portable lights, I have built trust in the Verilux brand over the years and can recommend this one.

The theory is that the light provides an alteration in brain chemistry that counteracts seasonal affective disorder. I don’t know if that’s true, but it has no side effects and it certainly doesn’t hurt. There are apparently studies that support it. I haven’t read them and can’t comment. The device itself is small, light, easy to use and well made.

my pilates teacher recommended me this to deal with my zoloft withdrawals, it helped so much yall should buy one for everyone u know!!!

Perfect size to deliver enough light but easy to handle at the same time. As a bonus it can be powered by a standard 5V USB port/charger which can reduce clutter when used at desk. This is a huge feature for me, allowing me to leave my USB wire routed neatly at my desk when I bring the panel to the couch and power it with a different USB / power bank. Very glad I replaced the larger one with this and I will likely buy another for downstairs when back in stock. Use a tablet arm to position it a few inches from your face. Takes some getting used to working with a light in your face but minimum distance is crucial if you want results Minor complaints: I really dont like the physical design (of all the Verilux lights). The buttons on some models are tiny and hard to press. This one has larger buttons that are very sensitive but located on the light panel so you have to look right into the light to change anything. I would prefer mechanical switches which feel better and would pair well with a timer. The other minor complaint is that the USB cord sticks straight out the back - I would prefer if it was on the edge like a smartphone or reader.
