LumieVitamin L Light Therapy Lamp - Portable, Slim Design - 10,000 Lux Daylight Lamp - Detachable Stand, Cool White LEDs & Rippled Diffuser - Portrait or Landscape

My house faces south with no side windows so we get no direct sunlight. The instructions recommended having the light within about arms reach so I thought it’d give off enough light for one person sitting at a desk; but no. This thing lit up my entire living room. If it IS within arm’s reach I have it at an angle so the light isn’t going directly into my kid’s face. In the morning I put it on the nightstand to help my kid wake up.The only assembly is pushing in the stand, which you can take out and flip depending on if you want the lamp sitting portrait or landscape. The power cord pushes in sideways instead of straight in, which is easier for that small space.If you get nothing else out of this, it makes for an amazing lamp. The white light from this little thing casts a nicer, brighter effect over my living room than my two table lamps. Because of that alone, used this thing everyday since it came.I took a picture of it next to a 16oz bottle for an idea of the size.

I have been using SAD lights for years, but found them very bulky. I decided to look at lights from European companies as much of Europe has dark winters and people have limited space in their homes. This light does not disappoint. It is sleek, compact and works well. I am already feeling a difference in my mood.

Be aware you can't change bulbs. The led light went and I was told I had pay to ship the Lumie product to the company which is in England.

good for using in the winter time. this item has helped me on many events when the sun just is not shining. this light has mutiplue uses and funtions. i quite often find myself using this lamp for just that, to light up a small space while im working. who knew i would grow to be fond of this light. i would buy ths item again.

Was it a miraculous change? No. Did it help though? Yes. I'm indoors 99% of my day in a basically blacked-out house. This has seemed to make a difference in my energy levels. I wasn't sure if it was a placebo at first, but I notice I'm more tired and gloomy when I forget to use it.My Review Criteria: I do not review anything that I don't want/need for my own personal use and I have enough knowledge about it to provide accurate and useful details.
