For those reading reviews and fretting over the “dots”, don’t be. Used correctly (off to the side while you’re paying attention to something else), you’ll barely notice the individual LEDs, and they have no negative effect on the effectiveness of this as a light source. And so far, every LED based SAD lamp I’ve seen has them, so it’s obviously not an issue. It’s not a distraction if you’re not looking straight at it, and you shouldn’t be anyway.This is the third light therapy lamp I’ve owned, and by far it’s my favorite. My previous two were smaller and travel friendly, and they were effective enough to be noticeable. This year though, I’m battling not only seasonal light issues and chronic depression, but grief on top of both of those, and the little travel light wasn’t having a noticeable effect. Reading up on some studies, I found that this is a case where “size matters”—the most effective lamps of this sort are the larger ones. Because I use mine in the living room, I wanted something that looked attractive and not at all like a light therapy box. Circadian Optics Lattis model was my first choice, but after reading about size, I opted for the less fancy but bigger Lampu instead.And I have zero regrets. The Lampu model has three light levels, and is so bright I had to start off at medium for a few sessions and keep them short even though I had been using another lamp for three weeks. Nowadays, I can comfortably sit with it for an hour at a time on the highest level. The light angle is perfect for sitting and reading or writing while you soak in the rays—I’m writing this review while sitting with it, three months after purchase. The on/off function that barely needs to be brushed against took some getting used to, but it’s actually very easy to use now. I do wish it had a built in timer, but that’s a small complaint for a device that has proven to be very effective against my seasonal issues. If your only problem is seasonal depression, spending enough time with this should wipe it out. If like me, you have other depressive disorders, this should at least take the added seasonal component away so you’re not dealing with compounded effects. (Either way, do get your vitamin D levels tested. Most people in the Northern Hemisphere are deficient to some extent, and that will contribute to many forms of depression.)It’s lightweight, but very stable, so it’s easily moved. And it’s attractive enough that recent houseguests didn’t recognize it for what it was until I went to use it. Best of all, it’s an effective tool against seasonal depression. Easily in my top five things I’ve bought this year, and well worth the money.

First off, I was a total skeptic of this therapy option. I’m a SAD sufferer and really do have a hard time mid-winter due to the ongoing lack of sun and Vitamin D synthesis, so purchasing this light was kind of a last ditch effort on getting through winter in a better mental state. And… it works!OK, a little about the light itself. While the light output is similar in every way to a video LED panel (I tested the output and the kelvin temperature and it dead on matches my video LED panels), this is a really well built unit that feels sturdy. It’s got a touch-pad style On button with three different settings, although I only use it at its highest. Your eyes will adjust to the brightness and then you’ll see the LED lights inside the white surface, but fear not, the light output is still doing what it is advertised to do, your eyes just adjusted to the blinding light! It’s got a removable power cable that I wish was a foot longer, but that’s about as negative a point as I can think to make. Otherwise, this is a solidly built lamp and it even looks stylish on my desk at work.After a couple weeks of using the lamp about an hour a day, it’s not that I noticed I was happier, I just noticed I wasn’t headed to the dark place per my usual winter strategy; I just felt like myself, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for with light therapy. I am convinced this lamp is making winter more positive for me, so it was a great investment.In summary, the lamp is a well built product, the light output is strong enough to emulate sunlight (the screen capture is from a photographic light meter, and that setting is 4.5x stronger than taking a properly exposed photo in noonday sun, so that’s a lot of light). Most importantly, the product really does work for me as advertised.

Overall, product functions as advertised. Waiting to see how it affects my mood over the cold months. My biggest complaint, and the only reason I’m not giving it five stars, is that the box was pretty damaged on receipt. It was falling apart at the bottom, and all the usual packing take you would expect to find was missing. I suspect I was sent a returned product, and at this price point I would prefer something not covered in fingerprints (like the lamp was when I got it). Overall the product is good but I have issues with how mine was handled
