Circadian Optics Lumos 2.0 Bright Light Therapy Desk Lamp | As Seen On Shark Tank | Ultra Powerful 10,000 LUX Brightness | 5500K Color Mimics Noon Day Sun | Improve Your Mood, Sleep, Energy & Focus

First-why did I buy it? I battle with insomnia and good sleep hygiene. I live in the north and the sun doesn't rise till quite late and I was spending too much time in bed. Wondered if I had a bit of SAD also so I was motivated to give this a try. I'm still struggling to find the perfect position for the lamp so that I get all the benefits but that will simply be trial and error for the next few days. Benefits-I've only used it for three days but I notice that if I take my blood pressure after using the light-my blood pressure in now normal instead of borderline or high. I presume that is just part of my new routine of visualizing sitting on a warm porch outside watching the sun rise as the world heats up (I also got a space heater). Its the perfect way to start the morning with a positive outlook. I think it is also great to use to support my sleep hygiene routine for insomnia since it gives me incentive to get out of bed at the proper time instead of waiting for the sun to actually come up. I love my new routine! It's easy to use, can be rotated in a multitude of positions so you can figure out what works best for you. It has a very small footprint so it takes up almost no space on my desk. I'm following the directions to gradually bring it closer and increase the amount of time that I use it each morning but I'm already seeing changes in my life and I'll continue using it! Definitely worth trying!

Good and powerful, stands up well and folds down to be less obtrustive when not in use. Note that the AI generated information says you can get the light therapy effect at the same distance from the device, reglardless of the model. (I read LOTS of them.). This is not correct. Research shows that distance and size of the lamp both matter. Search the web for independent reviews which tell you how close/far you can be from the lamp and still get the required dose of light. For some it is only 5"! For others, like this one, it is 18-24" (I think.) It seems to be helping me sleep. Will see whether it also helps mood.

I have a lot of these types of "light therapy" lights and lamps, I have used them in my Studio for decades. This one is by far my favorite. It puts out a lot of light, and actually feels comforting in a way none of my other lights do. The cord and cord length is my least favorite thing about it, as I move this one around from my Family Room to my Kitchen, and the cord is short. I would absolutely adore this if it had some sort of battery or recharge capability. I haven't even tried the timer, but the quality of the lamp is quite good, and I'll likely buy another one for my Studio.

Works well, wakes me up in the morning. I will say the design is a bit weird, I was expecting it to be more maneuverable but it feels more like a giant flip phone. The base is very sturdy so it does make a good lamp, easy to use single button setup. No flickering.

You don’t realize how dim lighting is in the office til you use this. Great product, not as good as natural sunlight obviously but nice when I’m stuck in the office and can’t get outside. this isn’t a regular desk lamp, it’s for light therapy, alternative to morning/early afternoon sunlight. Anyone could benefit using it. give it a try if you work at home or in an office! I’ve had the product for over a year and still works perfect.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have experienced low energy during the winter months for years. I’m now in my mid 40’s and noticed a dip in both mood and energy levels already this year and it’s not even officially winter. I began the hunt for a lamp to help with my circadian rhythm that would not cost too much. After much research and reading of many, many reviews, I decided to get this Light Therapy lamp because of its relatively small size, unique design and lower price point. My initial review follows and I plan to update after a few weeks of use. (FYI - See Updates Below) I wanted a light therapy lamp but I didn’t want a chunky light box sitting on my table, especially when not in use, so I really like the slim design of this light. It is also a lot smaller than the typical, bigger light boxes so I appreciate the smaller footprint. I like that the lamp will swivel to get the light stream just right depending on how close I’m sitting, and the ability to choose from three output settings is a nice since I won’t always want/need the high settings when using later in the day. The light also looks sleek when closed, which is a bonus. Even though the lamp is smaller than others in this price range (under $75), I found it to be quite sturdy. I was worried it might look or feel “cheap” but it is actually well built and, dare I say, stylish? Overall I am satisfied with this purchase and hope to see the benefits of using it over the next few weeks. •••11/2/17 UPDATE••• I still love this lamp after a week and a half of use, however I thought I would mention that the lamp is tall and thin and tends to be top heavy if you have the arm with the lamp extended. The product description mentions the lamp being configurable and adjustable to a variety of positions and, though this is true, the lamp is the most sturdy when the light is set up so that the "arm" piece is vertical and close to the body of the lamp. I had this on my night stand and used it to wake up in the mornings but I had problems with the lamp tipping over with the slightest touch do to being top heavy with the arm more extended - which was my preferred set up for early mornings. I still love the lamp but am trying to get used to using it like the picture in the product description, which can be very bright depending on where you are using the lamp. I did not deduct a star as this lamp was still reasonably priced and much more stylish and compact than other light therapy lamps. So this update is more of an FYI for folks who are considering this lamp. FYI - Some reviews and info in the product Q&A mentioned usb charging and/or the ability to use this lamp unplugged via its built in battery. The lamp I received (10/2017) has a normal ac adapter and not a usb cord. It also does not appear to work when unplugged and/or include a battery for use when unplugged. I don’t know where the confusion comes from but I wanted to at least mention this in case someone was expecting to use the lamp wirelessly. Lastly, The brief manual that’s included provides basic instructions, usage info, specifications and a few FAQs. There isn’t a ton of info but it’s enough to get you started. See my included photos that (hopefully) provide an idea on size and functionality. If you found this review helpful please consider clicking the button below :)

I use only in morning as instruction suggested. Excellent light for MN winters!

Compact and light in handling. Easy to use and intensity is great

I've been using this for many months now. I placed it at the edge of my computer screens and turn it on in the morning to get my energy up. I find it's very helpful, and also enjoy the added benefits of: - Being able to adjust the light level to my comfort; - Being able to use it as a focussed desk light by bending the neck downwards; and - How when I set the light to a low level, it helps illuminate my face during video calls

Not returnable item whereas the roductnpage clearly mentions 10days returnable. It's a waste for me now. Product description doesn't mention about the side effects mentioned in the manual.

I've had this light for 3weeks now and very pleased with it. Nice compact design allows me to leave it on my end table without looking out of place. Very bright and sturdy, I also like the various angles that you can adjust to, to suit where you are sitting or standing. 👍👍

I suffer from sleep issues, I haven't noticed an increase in sleep yet, it's probably due to my daily habits. But i've noticed this definitely helps first thing in the morning. I definitely realize my brain is less foggy and I also feel less groggy and slow. I use it for about 10-20 minutes per day, the light is super bright but is adjustable to a lower brightness. But I do recommend the highest setting first thing in the morning for about 5 minutes and then you can lower it. It's important to note if you suffer from sleep issues to also look into getting orange filter glasses as well to block blue light, incorporate more exercise light walking and weights and less time consuming social media.
