After much research I decided to invest in a light therapy lamp and couldn't be happier with the Day-Light Elite Light I purchased. It has exceeded all my expectations including improving my energy level and mood. Prior to using this light I struggled to stay awake, found myself yawning for most of the morning and taking a nap late-morning/early-afternoon. That is no longer the case. I highly recommend you give light therapy a chance if you find yourself struggling with waking up, your low energy level or a "blah" kind of mood. I chose the Day-Light Elite based on reviews from others.
It has helped throughout the grey winter days
I love this lamp. The brightness, the size and the fact that it is a good full spectrum bulb(s). I like the principle of the stand because you can make the lamp higher or lower and you can tilt the lamp to any degree of tilt you want. However! The up/down feature of the stand does not work. It only sits at the lowest level. If I try to raise it, it immediately moves down. I generally like it at the lowest level, but not always.
I live in the Inland Northwest, where in the winter we get very little sun. I was noticing my mood was really low from lack of sunshine. This light has almost completely cured my seasonal depression. It was tested by yale- it really works! I'm so happy I bought this! I might not have to move 😜
