Customer Review
I think I'll keep it...
Based on Amazon reviews of its predecessor, Verilux Natural Spectrum HappyLite Mini Ultra, Silver, I decided to give this item a try. I've been using it now for a couple of weeks and really like it. It sits at about 2 feet away from me on my computer desk. On the low setting (recommended during the evening), it produces a nice glow that took just a few minutes to get used to. The high setting (recommended during the morning) is pretty intense, but I imagine with time you'll get used to it.My continuing lack of motivation and incredibly annoying low energy level that I knew was due to the winter blues made me immediately buy this product after a friend recommended it to me. Supposedly another friend bought a HappyLight for his lab area and also used it in the evenings while writing his dissertation. The friend reported the light to be highly effective in maintaining concentration during the evening. In addition to my waning low energy and mood levels, that testimony made me...

Wonderful solution for insomnia, SAD, & more...
I tried this light to see if it would help improve anxiety and insomnia, the idea being that using it in the morning would help re-set the body's circadian rhythm and that natural sunlight could help alleviate anxiety during the long winter here in Montana. However, I believe it's main use is for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).Having used this light for several months, I've actually been really happy with it! Here are some of the pros and cons:Pros:-small & lightweight-user friendly operation (just slide the switch)-full spectrum mimics natural sunlight-works great-high and low brightness settings-does not get hot with hours of use (just slightly warm)-plastic filters out harmful UVB-sturdy constructionCons:-a little expensive-really REALLY bright, even on low setting (my husband hates its brightness!)-plastic filters out harmful UVB (sometimes you want UVB!)The UVB...

Very Good, But Compare Alternatives
I really do like this as a mood enhancing secondary light if you are affected by the darker winters. It works best as something you just put on off to the side and still slightly in your field of vision, and leave it on for 2 hours while you work. I really do feel like my mood is lifted. However if you are in a place that you cannot use a device in your own privacy and don't want to draw attention from having a bright unshaded light, or if you need a more concentrated approach to fit in a short period of time such as during breakfast, you probably need to look into alternatives. Considering the cost compared to some stellar alternatives, you should compare the cost and value of alternatives. Depending on price fluctuation, a little more could buy you a stellar alternative. I personally see this as a great secondary device that I use after I use a better concentrated approach.You should definitely look into a more concentrated approach like the...
