Great lamp for those that suffer from SAD
I decided to purchase this lamp to help me with my Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and I'm really happy with my purchase. It's still early days, but it hasn't half helped me feel better in the dark wintery mornings. The multi-brightness and timer settings are really handy to have. And with the lamp being rather compact it easily fits on my worktop. If anyone else suffers from SAD, then I'd definitely give this lamp a go! Highly recommend!

Great lamp
It's my first SAD lamp and am impressed so far. The brightest setting is very, very bright, so I'll be getting sunglasses for while I'm using it.UPDATE: Like another reviewer, I also found a card about a £20 gift card in my box. I followed the instructions on said card but have heard nothing, and have also not heard from the seller after I queried it via Amazon.co.uk. I imagine it’s fake. The Sad lamp is still great, the seller’s lack of response is definitely not.

Happiness In A Light
If you suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) or not, lamps like these work wonders to increase mood through serotonin increase and melatonin decrease. Most SAD lamps aren’t clinically proven however, but despite this I can confirm the lamp still works great!It’s not as bright as larger desk based lamps, but those are 3-5 times more expensive, making this a great entry level lamp, or in my case, office lamp.It’s timer function works well, and has 3 brightness levels to suit your situation too.The biggest positive in my mind though is that it works through normal power usb (although a plug is supplied) and has a massive cable. It also stays cool, which is something many of these lamps can’t do.Great lamp!

A Great Lamp for SAD Sufferers
I wake up, turn on the lamp on my bedside table for 20 minutes and I'm set for the day.If you've used a SAD lamp before and it's worked for you, this little number is as good as any. Its compact and nice and bright at the recommended 10,000 lux. My last light was a big box and it was quite cumbersome so it's nice to have something which is easily moved around without having to worry about wether I'm going to break it or if it's going to crush anythingwhwre it sits. One thing I would have liked to see is a bracket at the front of the unit so that it would tilt forward. I like the light to shine down on me rather than up so that it mimics the sun a bit better. But really that's splitting hairs as even most of the more expensive units don't have that feature. Personally I don't use the timer feature or the two dimmer light settings but if you want to use the unit just as a lamp to brighten your room they're there if you need it.All in all a decent little lamp and I'm well pleased with my purchase.

Works well, though lacking in quality control
I'd contemplated getting a SAD light for quite a while and very glad that I finally did. It's made a big difference to my energy levels, particularly with dark winter weather, compounded by being stuck at home due to lockdown.This device works pretty well. It is bright! I have it on my home office desk and tend to pop it on in the morning, and again in the afternoon. Although it's bright, I find that it's not hugely distracting and I can keep on working when it's on.My main gripe with it is the touch sensitive controls. I think I just had a bit of bad luck with the one I received. The power/brightness control works fine, but the timer 'button' is very temperamental. It doesn't work for most of the time, so I've taken to just manually switching off. I was just glad to have received it and found it made an impact, so I opted against returning it. If quality control was better, I'd have happily given 5 stars.

Really works!
I usually feel somewhat depressed at this time of the year, but now am working a difficult job in a complaints department, which made matters even worse. Which is why I bought this bad boy. And it really works. It's made a huge difference in that I'm much more happy, alert and able to cope with life in general. If you're on the fence, it's definitely worth the money, compact yet more than up to the job. Very bright. I only wish I'd bought one sooner. I started with the brightest setting and try to get a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes every morning after waking.

It’s bright!
Early days so let’s see how it goes but first impressions are reasonably good. My one criticism is that the default brightness when you 1st turn it in is the maximum which can be an unpleasant shock. I think the default should be the dimmer setting and the user can then increase it. Having said that, the user can set their own default very easily so it’s just the very 1st “turn on”.Small size. Lightweight. Decent length cable. Lots of positives.

This is the best purchase I have made
It actually works. Maybe it is the placebo effect. Who knows! All I know is, I’ve been using it all week and I’ve been feeling a lot lighter, motivated, and happier withinmyself. I suffer terribly with SAD and this purchase has transformed my world this week! Last week I was in a hole and this week I’m full of life. I use it first thing in the morning for 30 minutes and in the evening when the gloom kicks in. For anyone pondering on this, purchase it, I’m hopeful that you won’t be disappointed
