Box Light Bulb Table Lamp, Blue

Product Information

SAD lamps are bright lights which you sit in front of. Designed to mimic sunlight, they can help trigger the brain to release serotonin (the feel-good hormone) when it's dark and gloomy outside. Some can be placed on your desk during the day, while others are used as an alarm to naturally wake you up in the morning. The product analysts and experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute test everything from blue light glasses to sleep apps and cozy weighted blankets. When choosing the best light therapy lamps, we reviewed key specs such as weight, size, number of brightness settings, light intensity and more. We collaborated with our tech experts and health editors to recommend products that meet a minimum 10,000 lux threshold, as well as those that consumers rave about. According to our pros, these are the best light therapy lamps of 2023 for some much-needed sunshine. The lamp is just 6.69 inches tall and 5.11 inches long, and we found it incredibly easy to use. The lamp comes with a built-in stand that makes it easy to prop up. It has three basic buttons: a power button, a brightness button (which toggles between three brightness levels), and a timer button (which programs your lamp to automatically shut off after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes).

How We Selected and Tested the Best Light Therapy Lamps

Pop the light on your desk if you're experiencing an afternoon slump, take it with you into the kitchen if you're in need of some energy while cooking dinner, or switch it on if you're feeling lethargic while doing chores such as sorting through life admin or reorganising a wardrobe – a SAD light could be the best investment you make this winter. I used an 80 Watt Rabbit Laser Cutter, which is similar to some of the top-of-the-line laser cutters you see by Epilogue. As you may know, a laser cutter can be prohibitively expensive, not just in terms of the initial price tag but also in terms of the ongoing maintenance, upkeep and energy usage. You may be surprised to learn that laser cutters are actually fairly common, and you're very likely to within driving distance of a public laser cutter, which you can use for little or no expense. The laser cutter I used belonged to a local makerspace ( Tinkermill in Longmont, CO). Your local library might even have a laser cutter available for use.

We loved that this lamp offered bright overhead light, thanks to its height and its floor lamp design.

A SAD lamp, light or light box uses light therapy to help improve your mood. They produce very bright lights to recreate the morning sunlight that you miss during the winter months. While the lamp’s small size is great for portability, it limits how much light it gives off. On its brightest setting, the lamp delivers 10,000 lux of light. But since its light screen is so small, it doesn’t feel as bright as some of the others we tested. When using this lamp, we only noticed a slight boost in mood and energy—though the editor that tested this lamp did report great sleep quality every night of the test. We found that the lamp made us feel more positive and alert, even when we used it on its lowest brightness setting. But what we loved most about the lamp was its sleek appearance. The lamp can disguise as an accent piece on a shelf or desk, whether it’s turned on or off. And though this lamp is the priciest product on our list, we think it's worth the money, thanks to its sleek look, adjustable settings, and convenient remote control. Our editor noticed that the lamp made her feel more positive and alert and she loved that the lamp was easy to use: It never tipped over or got hot to the touch, and its 8-foot power cord made it easy to move around. The only problem? Due to its size, the lamp isn’t small-space-friendly. If you’re looking for a light therapy lamp for your desk or personal area, you may be better off with something cheaper and smaller. to 4.7 stars: These light therapy lamps are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them.

This process can be far more time consuming than you might anticipate. I estimate that my design took about 12 hours of work in SketchUp. I would test out how your CAD program translates to your particular laser cutter before you complete all of work. At its brightest, the lamp delivers 10,000 lux of light. That’s the recommended light intensity for a light therapy lamp, but it may seem harsh at first. Thankfully, the lamp comes with two brightness settings, so it’s easy to start with the dimmer setting and work your way up to the brighter one. We did exactly this: At the start of our test, we preferred the dimmer setting because we found the brighter one to be a little too intense. But by day four, we preferred the brighter setting and found it more effective.

You want to make sure your lighting is positioned at varying heights. If not, your lamps might create an unflattering circle that directs all light towards the middle of the room. This can make the room feel smaller.Type: Most light therapy lamps featured above come in the form of a lamp or a box. Lamps are ideal for countertops, tables, desks and other surfaces due to their compact design . Boxes, on the other hand, require much more space but are able to provide more light to a larger room or area. A light therapy box may be an excellent choice for an office or a common space. Light therapy lamps come in many sizes and weights. So before buying, consider where you’d like to use your lamp. Compact lamps can fit on crowded shelves or nightstands. Large lamps can illuminate bigger rooms. Lightweight lamps are easy to transport to and from the office. And heavy lamps are best left somewhere consistent. (That way, you don’t have to lug them around very much.)

The no-frills lamp has just one brightness setting, so it’s very easy to use. We felt more upbeat and alert most mornings after using the lamp. There is a downside to this lamp though: it looks very bulky and clinical and may not fit in with your decor. If you're not concerned about that, this light therapy lamp is an excellent option. Includes an optional 12-volt power supply or can be used in-line with our 12-volt cameras. Just connect it in between the camera and power supply. For cameras of other voltages, you will need to run a separate power supply (power cable extension cables are available from the drop-down menu). The Erligpowht Light Therapy Lamp is small enough to put in your purse, lightweight enough to carry around, and budget-friendly enough to replace if you needed to. And these features make it the most transport-friendly lamp we tested.Although we didn't find this lamp to have an impact on our mood, it did seem to dramatically improve our sleep quality. The editor that tested this lamp often wakes up frequently during the night, but since he started using this lamp, he was consistently sleeping through the night. This pattern continued every night of the test, leading him to feel more well-rested and alert every morning.
