 HappyLite Mini has changed my life December 22, 2006

This product is amazing. Turn it on, and fill the entire room with a soft glow that will change your mood for the better instantly. It might be a bit intense when you first turn it on, but you'll get used to it very quickly. The lamp was easy to put together, and has two different settings of lighting intensity. The light emitted is very easy on the eyes, and is excellent for reading, computing, or any everyday task. The unit also uses very little power and has a small footprint.
Everybody should get one of these, especially if you have Seasonal Anxiety Disorder. It works, bottom line.

I agree with the other reviewers that the lamp is made very cheaply and durability is questionable, but it does have a 3yr. warranty. I was fortunate to buy one when there was a promotion, so basically BOGOF and for that reason kept it at a 5 star rating. If I'd paid $90 a piece, then I would rate it a 3. As for the light, I was amazed at how bright and white it was at the high setting, which I like for my office while working on the computer. I placed the other one on my nightstand and use the lower setting. It's perfect for reading and really seems to give my BR a calming ambience. I haven't used them long enough to determine if it will help w/ the winter blues, but think it might. Also one of its best features is flicker-free illumination without generating EMFs. For those of you that use feng shui, this is very important.

I actually bought this from the Verilux website (sorry Amazon...) but wanted to put in my 2 cents. Although I agree with other reviewers that it seems quite cheaply made, it's handy, lightweight and compact. Plus Verilux lets you return it for a full refund (postage paid) within 30 days if it doesn't work. The woman I spoke to at Verilux said I'd know within the first hour if it would work for me. I've been using it for just a few days, but it helps give me energy and seems to make me happier. Not that I've been depressed really (lots of good things in my life just now). But it's been a dreary winter so far and I was finding myself just dragging around and feeling generally unmotivated and very irritated. PLUS, all I want to do is eat carbs (sugar!) all day. Hence the dreaded holiday/winter weight gain! Since using this lamp, all my symptoms have eased a bit. Which is pretty amazing considering it's nearly Christmas -- a hyper stressful time for me and no opportunity to do much exercise! I say try it and see. You've got nothing to lose.
Thanks for the sunshine January 14, 2008

I truly appreciate the Verilux Happylite! As I usually feel like sleeping the winter months away I've enjoyed feeling more alert and energetic than in the past.
Thanks!

I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), so I needed a light therapy lamp to get me through the winter. This was the least expensive one I could find, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Bottom line, it works! I feel like I do the rest of the year--alert and cheerful, instead of sluggish and grumpy. If nothing else, it helps me wake up on a gloomy day.
I do worry that its construction is a little flimsy, but the tradoff is in the price and the size. Its small size makes it a great desk lamp.
I'm very happy with my purchase, and I recommend it to all my friends.
