Light Therapy Lamp 11000 Lux, LED UV-Free Sunlight Lamp,Full Spectrum Happy Therapy Lamp with 10 Adjustable Brightness Levels, 2 in 1 Retractable Floor Light Therapy Lamp

I returned the first one not understanding the extra plastic part you need to remove and throw away to assemble. I finally found the instructions and it was easy to assemble and figure out how to get the light the way you want. You barely touch the pole to get it to react. Very EASY to turn on and off. I had a dark corner behind me nothing seems to cover. Now I can read books, draw and do other things with plenty of light! I have two other Ott lights, much older than this and they do not give off as much light. This is all a good height for the chair I sit in and have it to the side and behind my chair. Very happy with this light and how it is designed to help your eyes unlike standard lighting, which is often detrimental.Decades ago tests were done in several schools where half the lights were left being fluorescent and half replaced with the non flickering, full spectrum Ott lights. The children in those rooms were sick much less often and their learning skills improved. However, the schools naturally did not want to have to buy the more expensive lights.Mr. Ott discovered this on an assignment for Disney if I remember correctly. He had to do some slow motion photography of flowers growing and the standard lights were killing some of the flowers. He finally came up with his Ott light that helped them grow naturally, so he could photograph them in his studio growing. .... and in the end, they were more beneficial for humans too. Although that was not his intention in creating them at first. I find my eyes tire much less than when I read under standard lights! I recommend them to friends who use them for crafts, reading, cooking and things requiring adequate, healthy light.

Had this about a year now. Absolutely love it. Easy to use, very bright and warm like sunshine and wonderful to read under. Perfect next to your favorite reading spot

The only reason I gave the product 4 out of 5 stars is that Amazon pulled a fast one. I bought two of the lamps for ninety-nine bucks each (thinking it was a great deal as it listed for seventy bucks higher) on Prime Deals Day. They were delivered quickly. Impressed with the quality, four days later I decided to buy one more lamp, only to discover that they were marked down an additional 15 bucks each! To Amazon's credit they made the adjustment. Caveat Emptor!Now let's talk about the product. Easy assembly...took less than 5 minutes. You must pair the remote to the lamp, which was easy. The multi function remote takes a little getting used to, but works well. Adjusting the color temp and brightness was easy. Several pre-sets on the remote are OK, but maybe not practical. They did include the AAA batteries for the remote which I thought was a nice touch. The lamps have heavily weighted bases and seem to be very sturdy. The gooseneck was easy to adjust to the angle I needed. I was very impressed with how bright the lamp is, which is why I wanted to order a third for a task light. The other two I ordered have a specific purposed will remain stationary. The design is modern and sleek. It comes in black or white so will blend with most decor. The power cord is attached half-way up the pole which may or may not be good for your purpose. It doesnt really matter to me, but the cord is a bit shorter than I would have liked. I cannot comment on the longevity of the lamps which is a bit concerning as they are not exactly cheap. The light source (bulbs? LEDs?) is not replaceable so if it fails, you will have to replace the entire lamp. That is really the only down-side to what appears to be a good product. My only suggestion is that perhaps an added magnet for the remote would be nice, so you could attach it to the light pole when not in use. Also, they did pair differently! Even thought I have two remotes for two lamps, each lamp needs its own dedicated remote. I had to mark which remote paired with which lamp with a color dot sticker. Not a big deal. I did not try to pair them together with one remote...that might work. I am very pleased with the lamps.

This light is very adjustable to your time of day! We have had several gloomy, foggy days and it has made a huge difference to my moods. Don’t know about its longevity but it works great so far!

I bought this lamp specifically to use during the cold winter months when I struggle with slight depression because of the cold, gray snowy days. I live in Colorado and stay inside a lot during the winter, which I know is partly my fault, but I don’t love being cold or getting out in the snow. This definitely helps with boosting my mental state, but it is also great to use just as a lamp when needed to see at night. I love doing puzzles on my puzzle board in my living room and it helps me to see to do those as well as type on my computer if I choose to do so on my couch. Love that it has different types of lighting and brightnesses. Great value for my money it is super sturdy and high-quality.
