Product Information

The light produced is measured in lux and a good SAD lamp will offer a brightness of around 10,000 lux. It's believed that SAD lamps encourage your brain to produce less melatonin, which makes you sleepy, while increasing the production of serotonin, which affects your mood. So how does a SAD lamp work? 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. At 17 inches tall and 12.25 inches long, the lamp is smaller than the floor lamp we tested but bigger than many table lamps. And it had the biggest light screen of the bunch. When you turn on the lamp, most of its surface lights up—giving you 1.3 square feet of intense light. This makes the lamp great for big spaces, where you need to diffuse lots of light around the room. This lamp is a solid option if you're seeking to use this type of light in a larger space, like a kitchen, studio, or yoga room. Our editor used this lamp once while doing yoga in the morning, and found it to be lovely. A properly lit room should have between five to seven light sources. And ideally, they should be a mix of different types of lights, positioned throughout the room at varied heights and.

How We Selected and Tested the Best Light Therapy Lamps

The Verilux HappyLight Light Therapy Lamp was one of the most effective lamps we tested, boosting our energy level every time we used it. Of all the light therapy lamps we tested, the Lavish Home Floor Lamp was the best at diffusing light across the room. We loved that this lamp offered bright overhead light, thanks to its height and its floor lamp design.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.

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. If you’re using a light therapy lamp for the first time, be sure to talk to your doctor or therapist. They can answer your questions and offer individualized guidance on your light therapy routine. It’s unclear how long it takes for light therapy to work. According to some studies, you can see benefits after just one light therapy session. But other studies have found that you may need to use light therapy lamps consistently for several weeks to get the best results.

I designed my lamp using Sketchup; however, you can also use Autodesk FormIt or Autodesk AutoCAD. You can find my personal .DXF and .SKP files attached here in this tutorial. Feel free to use my design or expand upon it (I only ask that you not engage in any profit-seeking activity through the use of these files). Whereas most light therapy lamps are shaped like tablets or boxes, this one looks like a classic floor lamp. And that unusual design gives the lamp two advantages. First, the 4-foot lamp is tall enough to provide overhead light. (We could comfortably sit and read underneath it.) Second, the lamp’s light is unlikely to get in your eyes. Since the lamp’s illuminated surface faces the floor and its on/off switch is easy to reach, you never have to look directly at the light to turn on the lamp or adjust its position. 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. To select the best light therapy lamps, we asked 12 editors on our team to test multiple light therapy lamps at home over the course of several weeks. We tested 15 lamps in total, and each tester volunteered to test 1–3 lamps.
