This light brings happiness, March 5, 2014
By
Donald Kollmorgen (Irvine, CA)
At first I was going to get one of those very compact lights, but I'm glad I got this one. The light is large, standing a foot and a half high, but I think the size makes the light very effective. I'm glad I spent the few extra dollars and got this quality unit. My computer area is not very bright, so I set this light next to me and I can still see use the computer screen to do my work while getting the benefits of simulated sunshine. Although the stand does not look super strong, so far it has been working effectively for me. The stand allows the light to be supported next to me while I am working. It is at a very good angle for the light.
The Next Best Thing To Natural Sunlight!, February 19, 2014
This lamp has helped my family & I alot during this very long, cold winter - it arrived from Amazon.com in mid-January. We have spent most of this winter indoors due to extreme cold, so we had all been lacking sunlight, each of us feeling some symptoms of SAD.The light is very bright, which makes it perfect for placement on the kitchen table while I help my kids with their homework. It doesn't get too hot after use, it's easy to store, the electrical cord is a decent length, it's noiseless (ie; doesn't hum), & it's easy to keep clean. The only drawback I have experienced: I've had achy eyes & a headache after spending a longer time infront of the lamp - it's better to sit infront of the lamp with sunglasses on or cover your eyes if you wish to bask in the rays for a longer time, or if you're sensitive. Nothing quite compares to real, full, natural sunlight to alleviate symptoms of SAD, but this lamp is the next best thing - it has definitely helped!
Tricked into sunlight, January 24, 2014

I began having seasonal depression and suicidal thoughts a few winters ago...living in New England can be a harrowing experience for a west coast transplant, but the rewards offered by this region are plentiful from colleges, apple picking, the Atlantic Ocean, and being face to face with a very regal and old environment replete with frostbitten and infernal winters.
I started seeing a therapist which was the first step. The second was obtaining this light which tricks your eyes into thinking it's sunny outside. This lamp is really wonderful to view obliquely while you're studying, playing cards, etc. Mine is tucked away in a corner behind a plant. I feel more energetic using it at least 14 minutes and most energetic when using it between 15 and 25 minutes. Over that time limit, I might start feeling a headache coming on.

Unreal..., December 14, 2013
I can't speak to the quality of the product, it was purchased as an Xmas gift...so imagine my dismay when my spouse tells me "a package from Amazon came for you while you were out"...only to see the dummies shipped the thing in a box with a freaking picture and description of the item actually on the outside...so much for that surprise. Thanks a lot Amazon...don't you think that at this time of the year that might not be the best idea?? So disappointed...
I cannot imagine life without it, July 10, 2013

This purchase was a replacement for the same product which I'd been using since 2001, bought direct from the manufacturer at that time. It lasted 12 years. I couldn't imagine life without it so I went shopping around for a new one, and the Amazon price couldn't be beat. Needless to say, after 12 years of constant, daily use for many hours a day, I can't recommend a product more highly. I began using it to combat depression. It helped tremendously. After that I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started taking meds, and continue to do so today. But I never stopped using the HappyLite. I keep it mounted on a wall behind my computers. When I sit down to log on, usually as soon as I finish breakfast, I turn it on and leave it on while at the computer. For a new user it may take time to adjust how long you stay near it and the distance. For me, I had no issues right from the start. I keep it about four feet away, slightly to the left so it's not directly in my eyes. It almost feels like sitting by a window with the sun shining in. I notice the benefits immediately, within minutes of turning it on. I can almost feel the neurotransmitters kicking in. I've had it on for 4-6 hours a day while at my desk, although that may be a bit much for new users. You know when it's time to turn it off when you start feeling like you've had too much coffee, or if you get a headache. Then adjust back the time if you feel that happening. The bulbs have lasted me about two years. It is definitely worth it and I can't imagine my days without it.
Not for me, April 2, 2013
I suffer from migraine headaches. After the initial 10 minutes of usage, carefully placed at the correct distance from my body, I switched off the light. I never looked directly at the light (per instructions). Within 5 minutes of turning off the light, I got a migraine that was very difficult to get over. BEWARE ALL MIGRAINE SUFFERERS!
