Circadian Optics Luxy 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

I want to give this product 4.5 stars, but will report 5 because my deductions are purely subjectively due to aesthetics. I saw this on Shark Tank and really fell in love with the pitch. I live in Alaska and have been meaning to get a SAD lamp since I first came here in 2006, but never got around to it. Somehow seeing it on ST motivated me to hop on Amazon and buy one. I ordered the Luxy light for the size and portability. I’m a primary care nurse and spend half my day at my desk when I’m not attending to patients. My desk is right next to a large window, which is lovely to look out during the summer months, but hard on me in the dark morning when the sun won’t rise until 12:30 PM come December. I brought my Luxy to work last week and have noticed a big difference in how I perform in the mornings. My attitude is improving and it also helps me stay alert when I’m getting sleepy in the afternoon. I like that it’s super small and doesn’t take up any room at all really on my desk. The size is also impressive considering it has the same amount of amps as other light therapy amps that are way bigger and clunkier. I plan to buy another one for the bedroom to help me get ready in the mornings before I head to work. My only real criticism is that I find the orange accent on the lamp a little off putting. The lamp is supposed to be therapeutic and the orange flash is distracting. I would highly recommend this to anyone in need of a SAD lamp. My coworkers seem to have already come on board and a few have bought some for themselves. Great product.

Love this light. Very easy to use, portable, convenient, bright, not hot. I plug it into an electrical outlet by the sofa and have it on when I catch up on the morning news. Boyfriend’s cat loves it (will take my seat by the light if I get up). Regarding benefits.... I’m a scientist who studied circadian rhythms as part of my PhD years ago and they do exist, are definitely impacted by light-dark cycles, impact health, and the light dark impacts release of many hormones. I’m skeptical and so withhold judgement awhile as to if this light helps, but it doesn’t hurt and for the price, is worth a try. I definitely suffer from the fall time change and shorter daylight hours.... poor sleep, low energy, blah feeling. Since we turned the clocks forward, I had not slept soundly a single night... restless, only about 3 hours sleep per night, and I wanted to hibernate. This is typical of my experience every year at this time. However after one day of using the light, I slept extremely well, 8 hours straight, and felt refreshed. I was not expecting to have a change after one use and it could just be coincidental.... not a scientific study at all. Regardless, I do think the bright light that is produced is pleasant and helps me get going during these gloomy days. I think it is worth trying.

small, portable, effective light therapy

Very nice, almost overwhelmingly bright on high setting, and an excellent value. My primary reasons for purchasing this little light were that it's USB-powered and very compact in size. I got it to complement a jet-lag pre-adaptation plan. I also do a lot of off-grid 'glamping lite' in a travel trailer, and so having USB-powered everything gives me a lot more flexibility. While I am not taking off any stars for these few small design elements, I feel they are worth mentioning: The touch power button on the back of the unit is very sensitive, so it's easy to accidentally turn the lamp on, off, or to a different intensity level. Also, the power button's program makes no sense, cycling through off-high-medium-low-off. It would make a lot more sense for gradually increasing intensity, say after waking, for its program to be off-low-medium-high-off, or even better off-low-medium-high-medium-low-off. Finally, the lack of a diffusing opaque layer in front of the LEDs and the use of small reflectors on each LED means very high point intensity - you will see a retinal after-image if you look at the light straight-on (probably true of any 10k-lux light...)

I was disappointed at first as it is so much smaller than I anticipated... barely bigger than a deck of cards. But wow is this light bright!! It's fantastic. I keep it on my desk at work during fall/winter and it keeps a lot. Well worth the price.

This light works fine. it's simple, pack-able, and seems well made. I did almost return it though, for one glaring flaw. This light is powered by a micro USB port. Which means you need to have an extra, obsolete cable that you wouldn't normally have any other use for. It's not 2007. Micro USB has been dead for years. By now, everyone has usb-c cables laying around everywhere and definitely have them when traveling. Why this light doesn't just use usb-c is baffling to me. Big deal? I guess not. Just annoying.

This week made device is very easy to use and incredibly bright. The cord is a nice design. It’s flat and very easy fold to the right size and comes with a Velcro tie with the company logo so I’ll always know which cord goes with the light box. I’ve suffered from SAD since I was a teenager and look forward to trying this. I feel better in the winter in bright days and well lit rooms so I’m expecting this little powerhouse of bright light will be very effective. I’ve used larger light boxes and it was an inconvenient while this little one easily sits by my computer or the coffee table while I use my phone. The instructions say the light should be placed to the side which makes it’s very easy to do something else and forget that I’m doing light therapy. My neighbor said this helped her immensely so I had to give it a try! After using the light for a few days it was easier to get up in the mornings. After two weeks of using the light in the morning 30-45 minutes while reading in bed I am not bothered at all by the grey winter days. I’m not missing summer and have more energy. I place the light about 8 to 12 inches on my bedside table at eye level so it’s shining into the side of my eyes while I read on my back looking forward and not directly at the light.

The first product I received was defective but the service team was quick to issue a refund without return and even sent a new product free of charge.

It's bright as can be and so small and light weight it's super easy to use. I work nights so it's been great to start my day with a mood booster.

It's a small and portable light therapy light. Folds well and is pretty bright. Only thing I don't like is it's micro USB instead of USB type c, but not a huge deal

I suffer from poor sleep. Am trying this light to see if i can get better quality of sleep, one week in, seems to have helped some. Looking forward to more....better sleep.

Great little lamp, with 3 light levels. Sits on my armchair perfectly. But the end of the cord broke so had to buy a new one , so took off one star, but it’s still a 5* product.
