Northern Light Technologies Luxor Mini - 10000 Lux Light Therapy Lamp - Full Spectrum Pyramid LED Lightbox Therapy Light for Natural Mood and Energy Enhancement, Sunlight Desk Lamp, White

I can't stress how awesome this light is. It's amazing how much light can emit from this thing, and it makes a huge difference. It's like I have the sun shining in my room all day long, and it makes me feel great. I bought the entire suite of lights and have them positioned throughout my home. This one is really nice next on my desk.

Sadly one corner of the pyramid was broken off when it came. I also didnt quite realize that one side of the pyramid is blue. I didnt love the look of that so I returned for both those reasons.

It's hard to tell what the lamp looks like from the product photo, but I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived in the mail. The design is very sleek and understated, and it looks great on my desk at work! Most importantly, it has worked wonders for my well being. I turn it on for an hour in the morning and an hour before leaving and I've noticed a marked difference in my mood, especially during dark and rainy seasons. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a light therapy lamp that doesn't look like a lighted makeup mirror.

So first things first, I’ve never previously owned a light box even while I live in a place that doesn’t have much sunshine during the winter time (AKA currently) so take my review with a tiny grain of salt knowing this.Upon buying this product, I did experience a greater amount of energy in the morning. I typically sit about a foot and a half away from the light (I know the description mentions/recommends sitting within a foot of the light, but seriously, for someone who has never seen a UV bulb before, it is VERY bright, I don’t want it any closer to my face). The instructions were non existent and in another language, but was pretty intuitive. I have used it at other times during the day as well, to try and give myself a mood boost (which often works), but never at night since it seems to disrupt sleep cycles. The metal around the bulb gets warm pretty fast, but never to the point that I haven’t been able to turn the devise off, but I do believe that if it were left on for a long duration of time it may become a fire hazard.All in all, I cannot say anything unusual has happened with the product or anything was broken upon arrival.

For this kind of light, it is a great size and nice enough to leave out (sort of like a little sculpture). I had high hopes that it would be a cure-all, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference for me. For what it's worth, I read that it must be used very consistently for it to work, so I'm still using it daily in the hopes that it might make a difference.

When I took the Luxor Mini out of its box, it looked great, but there was a dramatic rattling whenever I moved it. I removed the front panel; turns out the light bulb separated from its base and was just rolling around in there. The device is now totally unusable. I’m not the only reviewer who’s experienced this issue; it’s wild to me that there could be such a common and major design flaw for a relatively expensive piece of technology and yet it hasn’t been addressed. I was *so* excited to get my Luxor Mini, but now it’s back to the drawing board, I guess…

The information about the bulb was misleading. I called the company. They said that they used to use CFL but now all of their lamps are LED, except for the BoxElite which still uses fluorescent. The fluorescent is flicker-free. I have concerns about adverse health effects of LEDs.I happily used their SADelite for many years but that too has gone LED.

This light is fantastic. I have been using it consistently for about a week now, and today I woke up in a considerably more chipper mood. I think it is helping my sleep cycle as well. Also, it is a beautiful shape, and every morning looks like bright white, glowing pyramid-shaped space ship on my table.
