I bought this for my wife who has trouble getting a good nights sleep. The lamp was easy to set up and looks pretty cool when active. The light is pretty intense even on the low setting. At first my wife did not like the brightness but is getting used to it. Too soon to tell if it has helped with sleep but I like the way it looks.

Soft and warm pseudo-sunlight to bring sunshine to a cubed work space. Starts the day off on a nice note.
I have a pseudo-sunlight floor lamp which is ideal for reading.

Broke after two weeks and I couldn’t return it. It didn’t really do anything for me at all in the brief period during which it was functioning properly. Total waste of money.

I strongly agree with the preceding review. All scientific research indicates that this type of light is helpful first thing in the morning, certainly not at night!!! This type of light actually signals the brain to destroy the lingering melatonin which is a hormone that makes you sleepy. Using this light at night to fall asleep would be very counterproductive! Do your own research…

The instruction to use this light at night before going to bed is wrong. Full spectrum, especially blue light, suppresses melatonin production. That is the hormone that rises just before sleep and falls again towards the end of sleep. Exposing yourself to light before bed would shift your circadian rhythms forward such that your body would see your actual clock bedtime as being much earlier in the evening. Thus, you would fall asleep later at night, not at your bedtime. I’m shocked that the instructions say what they do. Use this light in the morning!
