 Happy light February 28, 2010
Anjo Banjo (Champaign, Il.)
This has been a great purchase for me. I live in Illinois and was not used to the gray winter days (I'm from Colorado and there is at least 300 days of sunshine a year). Last winter I was depressed, gained weight, and never had any energy. Since I've been using the happy light I have experienced alertness, calmness, and my sleep patterns have become more regular, just like the advertisement said! I use it to help me wake up in the morning. I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect or what but this light seems to be working!
Only thing, I can't help feeling like I've been ripped off. $100? If I hadn't been so desperate for something to help with SAD I definitely would have shopped around a little more for a reasonably priced product (although this was one of the cheapest I found). Also, I also don't like that I have to order from Verilux to get replacement bulbs. At $25 a piece this is pretty pricey. However, I tell myself that it's a natural solution and it beats being depressed and mopey all the time. It's also healthier than anti-depressants.
 Alert all day! February 27, 2010
C. Cardini (CT)
At first I was a sceptic, but after using the lamp this winter for the past MONTH I now understand how it is really helping me. If used for 30 or more minutes in the morning on top of the 6-8 hours of sleep I recieve I feel ALERT and AWAKE for the whole day. Before I would still be mopping around until about 11am trying to WAKE up. Now I am awake and ready to go ALL day. (Before I would want to take a nap at 3pm after work too) but with the lamp I feel good.
I would say this product is BEST for someone who lives in New England and likes being outside because I think regulating yourself with this lamp really does wake you up and starts you off on a good foot!
I would highly recommended to morning people who like to get up and get going.
An Utter de-Light February 23, 2010
C. Mazur
A native Californian, I was distraught to be stuck in Seattle for work. After 4 months of winter, my boyfriend noticed the long dark days were having a distinct effect on my mood. I was tired, withdrawn, and lacking energy. By 3 in the afternoon, I was ready for a nap.
He bought me the HappyLight.
I packed the little box into my rolly suitcase and brought it with me to Seattle. While plastic, it survived the trip easily. It now lives on my desk in the hotel room, casting its glow over my laptop where I eat and play each evening. It does not generate an excess of heat (though if you leave it on for hours upon hours the back gets warm) but casts the promised "full spectrum" - noticeably different from the dim yellow bulbs of the hotel or the nasty fluorescent beasts at work. It does not hurt my eyes or distract from my laptop or tv screen.
It's been two full days. I'm not kidding; I have had the HappyLight beside me for the last two nights and have noticed a significant difference in my mood.
I am one very happy customer.

I searched these reviews for good advice on which light to choose. After much debate, I finally landed on this one. I couldn't be happier with it, and use it daily.
To those of you bemoaning that it is cheaply made, I'm not sure what you were looking for. A steel reinforced desk lamp??? I'm pretty tough on my things, and was worried this might be too delicate, but it isn't. It's plenty sturdy for what it is - a desk light. It's not flimsy at all, it stands perfectly straight up, it emits a great light, and the control is solid. I wish I hadn't listened to all those folks complaining about the quality of the design and materials. I'm happy to say I found their advice entirely incorrect.
As for the quality of the light being emitted, I'm very happy with it. It is a bit bright at first, but that's part of how and why it works. I got used to it just fine in a half hour or so.
Don't spend a fortune on other lights. This little number is exactly what you are looking for!
Love it so far - used it less than 1 hour and love it. February 2, 2010

I just got my Verilux happy lite today - Bought mine online direct from the Verilux company (big sale/better deal) (Sorry Amazon).
Anyway - I always wanted to try one of these - but they were always in the $200.00 and up range - too pricey for a little sunshine. Anyway - each winter I seem to grow slower, and more lethargic, more passe', lower and lower energy. So I got to looking at these again and bought it when I found the deal.
Anyway - as a first time user of happy lite/SAD/sunshine lights - here's my take. In the evenings I get very, very sluggish and dragging around. I took it out of the box, assembled it, and tried placement where I wanted over my computer. Although it was 9:30, I flipped the switch on and thought I would try it for 15 minutes - but no more. (Take 1 hour to get 10,000 LUX and in 30 minutes you get 5,000 LUX). Anyway, the little 15 minutes I used it I definitely could tell a pick me up. I felt a little more energy and clearheadedness. Really I did. I popped up and cleaned up a little in the kitchen and set myself of to knock out some paperwork. After a while I started to settled back in to a late evening sleepy mode. So - I say it works based on the brief exposure I had tonight. I can't wait until tommorrow morning to try it out for the full time. I look forward to having 'full energy' again during the remains of these somber wintry months, so I can get things done and not be walking around like a zombie.
RE: the cheapness of the product stated in earlier comments. Not a problem. It's not THAT cheaply made. It's a solid plastic cover on the outside and metal on the inside. The outer plastic cover (called a diffuser) lines up in the ridges ok, but one side seems to not exactly lay flat in the ridge. No biggy. I can live with it. I'm not touching it all the time and after all, I'm using it for the 'light' it produces.
It was MUCH bigger than the picture makes it appear. It is as tall as a shoe box standing on it's side. A little taller actually. I'd best describe it as the size of a half a bread box standing on it's side (the old plastic ones that nobody has used in the past 50 years). Or expect it to be about 1/3 of the width your computer hard drive box (assuming you have a standard one).
Anyway, I figure in the morning this will have the same effect as a good cup of coffee.
I look forward to having energy and being highly active all day and getting lots done!!
It is sure to help me reclaim my days and hours.
Yaaaaaaaaaay. I'm so glad I finally tried this!
I say if you have *any* slow, sleepy, fatigued, groggy, slumbering, lethargic symptoms at all during the day in the cold months - this is well worth the money!!!
