I love this as an addition to my working from home desk during the dark months. I have it going all day at the lowest setting and I have seen how my overall mood has improved a lot. Great value for the money!I like everything about this light including the price and its lookThis wasn't bad, but with other 'SAD' lamps I tend to think the intensity is part of the experience. This isn't all that intense --- which may or may not be a good thing for you. The color seemed right. I did get this at a point in my 'SAD' lamp experience where I was already sold on the effectiveness.I got this for my wife who has trouble with dark, gloomy days. She was skeptical, but finally decided to try it. Now she uses it a lot, at her desk, on those dark days and she says it noticeably helps her mood. It really is a handsome design, and the touch switch, once you learn where it is, is super convenient. The lamp is an understated design and appears to be of high quality workmanship. Recommended!Must have for winter and spring and fallI returned it because it didn’t help me. It was too bright & I didn’t care for the on/off set upAfter two years of seeing a sleep doctor and not buying a lightbox, they mentioned that I should just buy one one Amazon for $20.I have been using it for a week now. I actually look forward to falling asleep so I can wake up to have my coffee, light and news. ? After a week, I’m now easily falling asleep 1/2-1 hour sooner than before, and I’m waking up before my alarm feeling rested.Sure this light serves its fuction…as a light. There was no possible way to change the hue of the light. There are plenty of Amazon therapy lights that actually change hue to match the time of day and to mock sunlight. This light did not only have a hue changer, but did not mock sunlight. It only felt like a spotlight of a hospital light. I thought to still give it a go, and see if it would help my mental health and energy during work, alas it did nothing. Just blinded me really.If you are experiencing SAD - ANYTHING is worth a try. And if this anything only costs you $40 - it is so worth a try.I think it helped - but who knows - it could be placebo or the dozen other things I try to get better (Vitamin D, Vitamin B complex, exercise, meditation, smoothies, talking to friends, etc etc etc).At the very least you'll have an extra lamp at home.I use while at my computer. I have been unable to be outside much to soak up the sunshine much in our cold Canadian winter.I am pleased with my purchaseLight no longer turns on. Bulb seems to have burned out after only using it a couple times per week for about 3 weeksit's nice that the lamp comes with brightness settings, and the lamp is bright enough for my needsThe brightness was easily adjustable to a favourable intensity
