Verilux HappyLight Lumi Plus - Light Therapy Lamp with 10,000 Lux, UV-Free, LED Bright White Light with Adjustable Brightness, Countdown Timer, & Detachable Stand - Boost Mood, Sleep, and Focus

I recently moved to Washington, and adjusting to the darker, cloudier days has been a bit of a challenge. I decided to try the Verilux HappyLight, and it has honestly made such a positive difference in my daily routine. It’s simple to use, lightweight, and easy to incorporate into my mornings. I turn it on while I’m having coffee or getting ready, and it really helps me feel more awake and focused without that sluggish feeling. The light feels natural—bright but not overwhelming. Since using it, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my mood, especially on those gray, rainy days. It’s become a small but powerful part of my self-care routine and has helped me adjust to my new environment. If you’re dealing with limited sunlight or seasonal mood changes, I would definitely recommend the Verilux HappyLight. It’s been such a helpful addition for me.

This is replacement for another one that was 15 years old and I'm really pleased. These lights can help balance you're circadian rhythm.

I've had this for two days and LOVE it! I work in a room with no windows to the outside, and that makes it very difficult when I drive TO work in the dark, and drive FROM work in the dark. This light is very bright, and I love the stand. It's very slim and compact, much like the early Kindles, so you can place it and store it almost anywhere. The timer is a great idea; you can set it for 15 minutes at a time, up to one hour. You can also adjust the brightness. You do need to be looking at it (indirectly) while you're using it, so place it somewhere that you can see it while you're reading, doing paperwork, crocheting, putting together your model airplanes, etc.

EDIT 2: Received replacement light today (Nov 26th 2025), the day after contacting customer support! Five stars for customer and warranty support. Still dropping one star for first light dying within two months. EDIT 1: Changed from 1 to 4 stars. After contacting customer support earlier today (Nov 25th 2025) and describing the problem, customer support responded within a couple of hours. After confirming the light was covered under their warranty, they are shipping a replacement unit immediately. Any given product product can fail for any number of reasons. Prompt customer support like this is rare, and deserves the additional 3 stars by itself. We'll have to see how well the replacement unit fares. === Received the Verilux HappyLight Lumi Plus on October 1, 2025, and was impressed with the apparent quality of construction, the simplicity of use, and the performance—VERY bright on high. Sadly, the unit refused to turn on after working perfectly every morning until yesterday, November 24th , 2025. I have since unplugged and re-plugged it in with no success. I had the light plugged into the same APC UPS as my computer and entertainment system, so no power surges or spikes could have killed it. I read many of the reviews from one to five stars, so I did have some reservations about the proprietary power connector and durability before buying. I should have followed my instincts. Too Bad. So SAD. $42.99 plus tax down the drain.

I have been using the light for almost a week for 30 minutes in the morning. I quickly worked up to the brightest setting and plan to go 45 minutes tomorrow and see if I feel even better. I don't have what you'd call seasonal depression, I got the light to try to balance out my circadian rhythm which gets out of whack every fall/winter season due to the decreased availability of natural morning light. I feel I have already noticed an improvement on initial feelings of wakefulness after each use. I suspect even greater improvements will follow with continued use. The light is of high quality and not even the slightest bit flimsy or cheap feeling. I use the included stand on the side table in my living room as I catch up on emails and enjoy my coffee. I also like that you can set the time for 15 minute increments for up to 1 hour. If you are considering purchasing one I would highly recommend it. The way I've approached the use of it is, "it can't hurt, it can only help."

I'm really happy with this ipad style light therapy lamp. It's easy to use, just push the power button for on/off. It has a stand so you can stand it up near you. I put it on during the winter and early spring months after I got up for work but before the sun was up. It really got me moving in the morning. I've used several types of the Verilux HappyLight products over the years and this is my favorite style.

Arrived as described. Light is very bright but good. A little heavy but transportable. Plug in. Easy operation. Timer is a great feature. Good for seasonal depression.

This is a good light, but the timer and brightness control are ON THE FRONT, and you can't set either until the light is blinding you. Did the designer ever try to use this??

Very bright! Easy to use, very lightweight and slender. I use it for my seasonal depression and it works for me. Easy to use timer and brightness levels.

Super plaisant en hiver et en travail intérieur ! J’avais l’habitude de faire des siestes en après midi mais depuis que j’utilise la Happylight je ne ressens plus le besoin! Efficace

Works well. I love the timer

I bought this because I was working overnight shifts at my job and I would be very tired all the time especially during my nights off. I got this towards the end of my time working the overnights and it really helped. It is extremely bright, and it feels good quality. My one wish was that it connected via USB C rather than the outdated mini USB (I find the mini USB falls out fairly easily). This is possible using the USB PD spec which can output 20v of power which is close to the 19v that this uses. It would have also allowed this to easily operate off of a power bank which would have been nice.

As advertised w appropriate 10000 LUX unlike similar products -satisfied with product 👍 ,, if it was cordless or rechargeable- that would’ve made it even better? Overall 5/5
