I got a Happy Light about 6 weeks ago, and it has worked very well for me. I've made the mistake a few times of skipping my morning light session and I can always tell by evening but the next day, after using the lamp, I'm back to normal. I've been dealing with SAD for years and put off buying a lamp, but they are worth every penny.

I noticed another reviewer was skeptical a short time after starting to use the HappyLight. FWIW, it can take a week or so for the light therapy to really take effect. Light therapy is also ineffective for 20% of SAD sufferers, so it may not be a problem with the lamp. But my advice is to give it time if you're part of the 80% it helps, you'll get there with consistent use.

I have lived with severe depression since I have been 12 yrs. old. I am now 45. It gets worse in the winter, and I live in Wisconsin where 5 months out of the year are generally dark and cold. My husband bought me this light last year, and I didn't use it every day. This fall, I asked my psychiatrist exactly how to use it so I could give it a fair chance and really see if it makes a difference. He said start a month before you think you're really going to need the relief, use it minimally 1/2 hour every day, and keep the light 12-16 inches away from your eyes. He said if you're going to read or do something else, you must make eye contact with the light for one full second every thirty seconds. I started using it and decided to just prop it up on my bent knees as I sat up in bed against the headboard. I found it meditative, and I just relaxed my eyes, looked into the light box and thought about the beach. For the first time in my life that I can remember, when it's dark outside, it's light and sunny in my head. I don't feel like I live in a cave, I have energy and I laugh. IT WORKS. IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!

I ordered the HappyLite about 4 months before they even shipped the product, because it was the first reasonably priced (and sized) light to help treat SAD. Living in Minnesota, I tend to get depressed in February, so wanted to see if the light would help. Starting in Oct/Nov 2003, I began turning it on at desk height at my work for the suggested amount of time. I did not use it on weekends.

Anyway, I think that it helped me keep from sinking so low with the SAD blues in February, but it did not completely keep SAD away. I spent 4 days on the beach in Florida during the 3rd week of February, and that helped the most.

I will indeed use the light again this winter, because it helps--but does not eliminate--SAD for me.

Honest reviews on Verilux HappyLite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator

I just got my happy light a couple days ago. I guess it is sorta a given (because the light bulbs are florescent), but I thought everyone should know that sitting in front of a happy light is nothing like real daylight. The experience is very artificial. I'm sitting in front of it now-it kinda feels like a trip to Kmart.

However, the light is also not as bright as I thought it would be. This could be a good thing because I can still sit at my desk and get work done while using the Happy Light. So far I would have to say that it is better than sitting at a desk with "regular" light. I do feel more awake. I'm going to keep an open mind and use the thing every day and then write back later. OOOO if you do decide to get one, check the verilux site first; they are having a special and it is cheaper than on amazon.

With equal amounts of skepticism and desperation, I bought Verilux's Happy Light on line. I couldn't be happier. This model is pretty big and sits like a satellite on my desk, but it does the trick.

After a few days, I think I mentally fooled myself into thinking it was working. But really, after two weeks, I know it is. When 5 o'clock rolls around, I'm not thinking about putting on my pajamas and calling it a night.

It's absolutely worth the money, so if you're feeling tired and worn out from the cold and lack of sun, go for it. Until the snow and cold make their exit, I'll have my morning coffee and check my email with the Happy Light.

I had been looking for a desk lamp for a while, and could not find anything I really liked! I finally went on the Amazon site and there it was!! The lamp is nice looking, the lighting is perfect for my use. I especially like the fact that the shade is "moveable"!! "Thanks" AMAZON as usual, I am very pleased with my selection and delivery very timely!

This is a very nice lamp for the price. Although many pictures don't show it, this lamp uses a pull cord. The lamp shade can be adjusted up and down to direct light where it is most needed. The packaging from the manufacturer seems a bit flimsy, so the first lamp arrived with a shattered lamp shade. We had to return it, but the subsequent one was intact. It serves our purposes well.

When I was in the market for a desk lamp, I needed one that would stand up to the punishment that I would give. This model fullfilled the requirement. I use the lamp every day and many times I leave the lamp on most of the day. The lamp I had before didn't last but one year and wan't the best value. I am hard on desk lamps and this model isn't a "Hi Intensity" model, You don't really need one that powerful just for everyday use. If you have visual problems then one of these type of lights would work better for you.

I received this lamp about a month ago, and it is working out just great. Although it can take up to a 60 watt standard base bulb, it came with a 40 watt florescent bulb that uses about 6 watts, and it is the cool light bulb, as opposed to the warm light, and I like this, in addition to being surprised to get a bulb included. Back to the lamp, it is made very sturdy. The lamp base has a nice brass finish, and is nice and heavy relative to the rest of the lamp, so it won't slide out of place on your table or desk, or wherever you place it, and has a nice felt backing. The lamp comes with a nice brass pull chain as well, for turning it on and off. The lamp is made exceptionally well, as is the green glass shade. So far I am very pleased with my lamp, and the price of $35 was a fantastic buy!

Cheap Zelco Audio "itty bitty" book Light (battery version only)

Customer Ratings:

This new version of the itty bitty light from Zelco is improved in some areas but in others not as good as the familiar previous versions of the itty bitty. The neon light is just right for ageing eyes and the little recorder is surprisingly useful. Nice to be able to record a thought or something you need to do without putting down the book you are reading. But I find the limited range of motion of the light head prevents me using the light in all the ways I would like. It cannot be turned around backwards or raised up to a near vertical position so it has to be used clipped to the book rather than propped up by my pillow, and it is a little heavy. Magazines in particular don't support it well. The chromed clip reflects light back in my eyes but that was resolved with a piece of tape. A good light that could be a great light with a few mods.

This is a very unique, very stylish ceiling light. The major downfall is the amount (or lack of) light that this puts out. Basically it makes a good nightlight that will cast a soft mood light across a big room. You cannot use this light as primary lighting, not nearly enough output for that. However for a accent light it is very nice.

This lamp came with the 13-watt cfl soft white bulb. I purchased it when a bedroom lamp went on the fritz. My placement is atop a natural-wood bedroom dresser that sits next to my bed. I often read in bed and need illumination in that spot as the overhead lighting from ceiling fan is not sufficient. The lamp looks just as pictured. You unscrew a holding ring and then place the shade on lamp and screw in place with the ring before adding light bulb. I like the easy reach of the pull chain to turn off before sleepy time. The scale of this lamp is perfect for placing on top of a chest of drawers. I do have the option of switching out bulb to use a 60-watt but I think I like the softer lighting for a bedroom. Note: I was confused by product description when I was trying to select a lamp because I believe it says you will need 2 13-watt bulbs, and that is incorrect information.

The fan is everything we hoped it would be. On low setting is what are high on the old fan use to be. Quite a difference. The fan makes hardly any sound, just enough to get you to sleep. It is a great product. I recommend it to anyone needing a quiet air flow circulating throughout your room.

Looks great, until you see a piece of plastic for the knob for the oscillation of the fan. Which doesn't work. It just makes a terrible clicking noise. I have had better oscillation for a $20.00 fan than this junk.

Reviews of Laura Ashley SFW615 Classic 15.5-Inch Bell Shade, Cream

Customer Ratings:

This line of Laura Ashley lamps--I think its called "Charlotte" is very pretty. I have 4 of them in my house. I bought them cheaply, through Warehouse Deals, but you wouldn't know it. The four I kept are one or two sizes smaller. This one is quite massive. It and its siblings are lovely. They have a faux silk fabric (which looks good) that is shirred in diagonal spirals, swirls around its contour. The colors I have seen are black, vanilla, cream, and red--the red is a bluish dull red, not a bright red. I would not hesitate to buy these shades again, but look for discounted ones in warehouse deals.

I spotted this lamp at an office store but found it on Amazon for a lower price. The Ott-Lite is a really attractive and functional lamp. I put it next to my computer and it doesn't "glare" but provides clear lighting. The sculpted, inflexible design prevents the bulb from shining in your face. Some task lights have a tendency to target you with their glaring bulbs or produce heat which does not contribute to serenity in the cubicle. This lamp frees one from such constraints. I pop it on first thing and it makes colors look brighter, letters more clear and reduces eye strain. Maybe it's the way the bulb is designed but it's very soothing to be around the light and it's very modern and futuristic looking with the smooth flowing lines. I look forward to it being offered in some of the other colors on Amazon!

I was in need of a desk lamp during finals week after my 6-year-old one went out. Found this on Amazon and was interested because of its design and the advertised quality of light.

When I plugged the bulb in and tried turning it on the first time I thought it wasn't bright enough (that was during the day), but by the time the evening came in and I turned it on to use for real it was very bright and useful.

Only two down sides: 1) it's shorter than I thought it would be, and so the curved design actually limits the light into a confined pool under the bulb (you have to put things directly underneath the lamp in order for more light to hit it; but you could probably just set it on a block or book or something); 2) the power button is pretty stiff and is situated vertically (instead of most desk lamps where it's horizontally on the base) so you'd need to hold the whole thing in order to press it.

All in all, it does what it should as a desk lamp and is great for reading and desktop work. Aside from two minor points, it's really a nice desk lamp with a sleek design, and much cheaper on Amazon (hopefully it'll last at least another 6 years, which would make it worth the money).

I have a similar lamp that uses (seemingly) same type of bulb, but this lamp's light is definitely better than the other one when put them side by side. Reading books and going through a picture album become a lot more enjoyable, because the colors just jump out of the paper.

The only reason I took 1 star is the switch is somewhat stiff, so I'm not able to push the button with a single finger; either I need to use the thumb to push the button while holding the lamp with the rest of the fingers or use two hands. I think it would have been better if the switch were located at the base.

Honest reviews on OttLite F48LU8 Desk Lamp in Blue

I put this desk lamp on my wishlist for Christmas and received this as a gift. I really wanted a new lamp that would provide better lighting than what I had been using and I liked the idea of a larger lamp that might cast more light over my desk.

Unfortunately what arrived was not as expected. Generally I really prefer desk light over a ceiling light because it's not harsh and it's easier on my eyes (which tend to be very dry and sensitive to bright, unnatural light). This lamp's description promised natural lighting, which I was very attracted to, but in reality, while the light is nice, it still feels a little too strong for my eyes. The irony is that it feels like the light does not cast very far it feels very concentrated on one area of my desk and the result is that the rest of my office is darker than I would like.

My compromise is that I have had to place the lamp on a taller object on my desk this helps to make it a little brighter, but with it higher off the desk, I am more able to see the bulb and it hurts my eyes.

The lamp's body is also made out of plastic (which was probably in the description, but I failed to notice this), making it feel cheap. The button is hard to push in, so I usually have to grip the base of the lamp to steady it as I push in the button.

I feel really bad that my family member purchased this for me. I'll hang onto it for a while, but I doubt I will be using this as a long-term solution.

The lighting works fine but the switch is so stiff that it tends to get stuck. It is so frustrating to push the switch hard for a couple of times to release the switch. And finally, today it got stuck again and there was no way to make the switch come out. Such a fatal design problem. I am returning the item.

This is not really a review because we returned it without actually using it. Just want to provide some warning so that somebody has similar need like us will not make the same mistake ordering it.

In the description, amazon said the lamp is 81 inch high, i.e., less than 7 feet. But in reality, it is almost 8 foot tall. It is not usable for people like us having 8 foot ceiling.

In the case Amazon may update the description later, here is what it was when I ordered it:

This is a nice floor lamp, adds to the modern theme we were looking for. Good quality. As expected, nothing beats Amazon price & delivery

Assembly : Was not difficult to assemble; wont call it straight forward though (the wrench key, used to tighten the screw in the base, broke in first use; fortunately I have my own tool box).

I'm glad I ordered the lamp with 3 lights & not 5 lights; Now I can easily relate to the reviews which described balance problems in the 5 light lamp. Although 3 light lamp has a fairly heavy base, the lamp is a little bit tipsy i.e. if you try to shift the lamp from one place to other the lamp might tip over easily, so you have to be careful.

Overall : I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Honest reviews on Lite Source LS-8871PS/WHT Deion 3-Lite Arch Lamp, Polished Steel

Those guys who complain about the height you need to hang the shades and light bulbs. I have 93" ceilings and out of the box mine (the 5-light model) was pressing against the ceiling which surprised me since I measured them at the store (both 3 and 5-light ones) and they were all in the 86-88" range. However after I hung the shades and screwed in the light bulbs, the lights sagged nicely down to reasonable and expected 87 inches. So I feel sorry for those who returned their lamp without giving it a chance... it's your mistake and you're missing probably on one of the best looking floor lamps out there...

The other thing, some people reported stability issues. Mine stands like a tree. Even pushing it slightly in direction of shades doesn't distrupt its balance. I don't understand what some people are complaining about. Not sure if theirs are defective or they didn't put these lamps on flat level surfaces...

Anyway just a heads up for those making a choice: pick one you like most, 3 or 5 light. 3-light one has larger shades I believe. It was a hard choice to make, but you can't go wrong with either one. They're worth every penny, absolutely incredible lamps.

how the heck can you get this light to stand up without tipping over?!? Lucky we tucked the base under our couch so it keeps it from falling over, but still. We would've returned, but said F$$# it as it'll do for now.

This is a gorgeous lamp. You do have to put it together but the touch part is amazing and the light is perfect.

Honest reviews on Crystal Touch Table Lamp By Acme Furniture

Unlike the picture and the description given by Acme, this lamp is basically plastic. Gold colored plastic, and plastic hanging pieces for the lampshade. The only part of it that is glass is the light bulb! I was misled by the description and the positive reviews, so I hope I can save someone else the cost of return postage that I'm paying. At least it is so lightweight that it won't cost a fortune to return!

It is pretty and would be good for a small child's room because very little on it is breakable, but I'm giving this product only two-stars because of how disapointed I am and how misled I felt. Something made of plastic shouldn't sell for the $42 (plus S&H)that I paid for it (or even the $32 at which it is currently listed).
