Customer Reviews

HappyLite Mini has changed my life
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.

Bright and white light-easy on the eyes
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.

Cheaply made, but pretty functional
This is an okay product. As most reviewers have written, it's cheaply made and ugly. However, it seems to be functional.

I tried setting it next to my face on my desk, but the light is pretty tough on my eyes and gave me headaches. (The brightness made my eyes dry and sore, and it was hard to see my computer screen because a bright light was directed into my face.)

I recently moved the lamp to my ankles and it seems to be equally helpful there (as long as I have bare legs), without bothering my eyes.

I'm fine with this as a few-year solution. However, if I were to start over, I'd buy one of Verilux's prettier lamps that are on stands and are able to be directed where you like. I'd place the lamp behind me or to my side, so that I would get the light benefits without straining my eyes.

If you are thinking of buying an alarm light, please see my review on the product we bought from Verilux. We're considering returning ours.
