This light works wonderfully. It is bright and feels great. However, any accidental pressure on the top of the lamp will easily break it from the base. The design is poor. All that keeps the lamp upright is the thin plastic of the base housing. I’ve installed a metal screw between lamp and base to fix it. It’s must firmer now.

This is a very bright light with a very basic utility style. It has helped my mood and energy somewhat with consistent use. I have several autoimmune issues I am hoping this can help with. I have to use it for at least an hour to feel a noticeable difference in my day. I have two complaints about the light itself…
1) the adjustor screw at the neck is permanently stuck. It arrived disassembled. When I assembled and adjusted the knob, “finger tight” it had insufficient holding power to keep the position. I had to really krank it down and it is now stuck. I have to adjust the light by actually moving the top of the light itself. No idea how long this will be effective before the joint fails.
2) The power button is a VERY responsive touch sensor front and center on the base. This is good, except that I keep the lamp on my bedside table to help me wake up…. If I reach for phone, chapstick, water etc in the middle of the night and accidentally brush the lamp, my husband and I are startled awake by a blinding light. My fix is keeping a paper back book over the base so we don’t get blinded during our sleep cycle. This would be an issue when used on any surface as the slightest touch activates the light.
VALUE: My husband is actually in lighting and I know basic value on lighting products. LED tech is getting cheaper and cheaper to produce. Also, I am unsure this would be an awesome value based on the two crucial design issues above. It is all plastic outside but must be weighted inside the base to offset the top. For the price I would hope for a more user friendly function and a more attractive look that would fit in with a traditional/homey design scheme rather than a clinic. For now, it has been otherwise reliable and helpful, but I will be shopping for better function and design.

I love it, right now. Time will tell if it’s made properly, if it actually works to relieve SAD symptoms. I’ve done my afternoon reading with the light shining on me since I’ve got it and I do feel a little less glum, but it’s only been two days. I hope the review I’m giving it remains accurate.

Thank you for this great light, it enhances my mood during our bitterly long extreme freezing winter. I am grateful for this light and still using it up to date. Brilliant invention

It is solidly built and easy to use. It gives out great light for SAD therapy. I used to buy cheaper models, but don’t waste your time. This one is excellent in every way!

The light itself is quite nice, very bright, warm light, great for a desk lamp whatever you might be doing. A really big downside being it isn’t entirely UV free, I used it for an hour a couple days in a row when I first got it and I got a sunburn on my face and in my Irises. I have used a couple other day light lamps and have not had this issue. Wouldn’t recommend until this is fixed.
Update: LEDs do emit a very low amount of UV so if on medication that can cause photosensitivity it may have a reaction, however since lowering medication I have not had this issue. Would not worry too much about this, Great daylight lamp.

This size provides a substantial amount of light without being too big. The Radiance model is compact and easy to place but only provides 10k lux at 5 inches. The Day-Light model provides a serious amount of light, but it is very big.
A possible downside of this Aura is that the light panel does not straighten to vertical. This means that the brightest light is likely to be below your chin. I just elevate the front of the base. Also the light is more yellow than my HappyLight. I don’t know if this makes a difference.

I was worried when I read some of the reviews stating that the top falls down or that it doesn’t work properly because of the light settings – I ordered it anyway, and here’s the deal… mine functions properly, and it does actually work. I would not have bought into light therapy if my doctor did not tell me that she uses light therapy, and recommended it for me. Living in Wisconsin the “winter blues” are very common with or without anti-depressants. Yes, this light is very bright but part of the product description mentions the highest level of light output possible for a photo therapy. Yes, you can tone down the brightness for different settings-however, the difference is minimal. I assume this is normal because commonsense would tell you that photo therapy works by administering “light” therefore it must produce light (what you are paying for). I’ve only been using mine for one week and almost from day one I noticed an improvement in my morning mood. For example I don’t feel like going back to sleep right after I wake up. I truly doubt that this produces a UV light. My guess is that if you have irritation after using it you likely sat too close because it does produce a bit of heat. I would recommend this to anybody who feels the “winter blues” or could use a booster in their overall mood. Definitely worth the money!

*UPDATE – I NOW A CPL WEEKS LATER I’M CONVINCED
I’ve actually emailed the company my suggestion to change the model by making the panel capable of rotating
I am a believer at an hour per morning at approximately 18 inches from it
Seems to be having an effect but it’s not winter yet.
Stupid the limited range of motion unable to raise to full vertical and the weight of the base opposite the lamp allows you to bring it to the edge of a nightstand table or sofa cushion in balance
1 removed the positioning locking knob pushed on exposed threaded end of hinge pin pulling it out CAREFULLY
Gently moved it till the head barely moved enough for both sides to separate (DON’T PULL HARD THERE’S NO SLACK IN ELECTRICAL CORD INSIDE) Turned the head had to replace the toothed gear locking discs which fell out so note how they seat so they’re like mine seen in my photos returned to the 4 teethed sides of the washers can meet to lock when you return them into place as I did then rocking the hinge pin back carefully flexing the now backwards facing lamp head to find just the minimum amount of flex in the interior cord to pass hinge pin thru then put the tension knob back and tightened in position.
Works perfectly now straight up so it is angled straight where you aim it and the stand power pad actually seems more firmly weighted in place this way.
To all those who’s lamp head flopped – You need to untighten the knob far enough to tilt head easily so the very shallow teeth in the washers don’t strip and lose the edges and take care to position the head minding that the washer teeth are meeting enlocked b4 tightening the knob FIRMLY so the head doesn’t move.
It’s cheaply made from China consider it delicate don’t jerk around with it letting the head bob around and it should last a cpl of yrs What do you expect for 40 bucks
I only modified it after I decided that given the price I wouldn’t cry if it broke in the 1st 6 mos of use “as-made” so I took a chance and GENTLY reconfigured it knowing I might trash it.

I’m really glad I read the reviews before I bought this lamp otherwise I may of been a bit disappointed with some of the features and the design. As others have said, it’s top heavy so it can easily topple over if not placed on a secure flat surface. The knob to adjust the lights angle doesn’t work well (probably the worst of it). But in saying that, I adjusted the light once and it’s stayed fine in that position. I will not be fiddling with the adjustments as long as I can help it since others mentioned having problems with it falling out of position. The lamp is not tall enough to have at your desk if you want to be under the light. I would recommend placing it on top of a shelving unit or perhaps sturdy text books. The best part is because it’s a bigger light I find being at a bit of a distance works great, unlike the smaller units that require you to be inches away in order to be affective. Others have mentioned the lamp looks cheap, but honestly I don’t notice, you can tell when you touch it that it’s not the most durable plastic but I think it looks really sharp.
I have one additional piece of advice when putting the base and body together when you first get the lamp. The screws are a bit tricky to tighten, but worked well when I put them in at the same time rather than one after another. Overall for the price it’s really good if you don’t mind the design or don’t plan on adjusting the lamp often. Hope this helps! Happy days! 🙂
