Seasonal Affective Disorder is a recognised and well-documented type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. With SAD, symptoms start in the autumn and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), medications and psychotherapy.
This is where this light comes in.
This unit does not resemble a table light or other domestic light but takes the form of a 24.8 x 17.8 x 2.7cm panel with a large LED display on the front with below it a backlit LCD screen and easy to use control buttons next to it.
The idea is that you sit in front of the lamp for set periods with the lamp set to either 6000k simulated daylight or the more power mood affecting Blue light which the unit can also emit. The light can be switched from Daylight to Blue at 5 brightness levels and there is a built-in timer to control the operating time. The unit has a fully adjustable kickstand which slots into the body when not in use to adjust the positioning angle of the lamp. The large backlit LCD panel and well sized and marked buttons make operating the unit a breeze. The large, well written and easy to read User Guide advises on the optimum distance to sit from the lamp and for operating times needed for most effective use.
The unit is mains powered and comes with a UK power supply with a hard-wired power cord somewhat shorter than I would have liked. It is a pity there is no built-in battery or remote control to enhance ease of use, but no matter, all the key features needed are found here.
If you find yourself depressed and down at heel during the winter months maybe this £54.99 lamp is just what you need.
