(New) Circadian Optics Leo Light Therapy Lamp | As Seen On Shark Tank | 10,000 LUX Ultra Bright LED | Full Spectrum UV Free | Turn On Your Day

Scammed, the premise of product is faulty: bright light therapy is not just about ~10k lux, ambience is equally (if not more) important. If you have to buy 3 of these just to avoid burning your eyes (yes, despite keeping it on your left/right side in line with ear it will cause unevenly bright spot and cause hours long ill-effects till your eye become like balanced out again (not sure of the medical term). So yeah the promise of bright light therapy holds, but this product does not deliver it. Also, given S. Tank funding - I wonder how many reviews are genuine - since marketing is better than product.

Purchased light for my wife. Using it daily and making a positive mood difference.

I purchased this Circadian Optics light after buying (and then returning!) two lights by another leading manufacturer. Both of those lights had faulty power buttons right out of the box, so I had to send them back immediately without ever getting a chance to use them. Needless to say, I lost all faith in that brand and I decided to give Circadian Optics a try. I'm so glad I did, because this light is perfect for my needs. Right out of the box, it's easy to work with. I like the simple one-button design. No finger pressure is required, just a feather-light touch. Touch it once to turn the light on at its brightest setting. Touch it another two times to experience the two less-bright settings. Touch it a fourth time to turn it off completely. The unit is short and squat, so it is unlikely to get knocked over by your own hand or by your cat or dog. This is a huge selling point for me, because whenever my cat jumps up on my desk, she loves to rub her cheeks on any object that is roughly the height of her head, such as the corner of my laptop screen when I'm trying to type. If this were a taller light, she would probably push her head against it and knock it over. This model has no color-adjusting settings or automatic timer, but I really don't think such settings are necessary. This is a neutral, pure white light that I think it very pleasing. The purpose is to help wake you up and keep you alert, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. If you really want to set a timer to help you get the proper dosage of light, use your cell phone, your computer, your kitchen timer, or whatever else you have on hand. This light has only one drawback I can think of, but it's extremely minor. The base of the lamp is very smooth, so the unit tends to slide or skid when you brush against it with your hand. I remedied this problem right away by attaching three small self-adhesive bumpers made by 3M. Some people call those things rubber feet or rubber bumpers. You can buy them on Amazon or even at the supermarket if you look in the hardware section. Just get the kind that are very small and flat. All in all, I love this light and I am so pleased by how functional it is. It's a great value for the money too.

Do your research. Almost none of these inexpensive lights are 10,000 lux. Including the ones by other well known companies. Nerdy YouTube researchers prove this. They are most often in the 3-5k range, which is morning sunlight not high noon sunlight. So knowing that i bought 2. And i am happy with the brightness and light. I do not like the angle because the light should be shining DOWN not up. The easy remedy is place it higher than eyes and tilt, using tape off you need to. I like the small footprint and the quality of the build. I did drop it twice and nothing shattered or cracked or broke. It has no timer so you can use it a long time as ambient lighting, but be cautious of overheating after a few hours. The light color is very mid spectrum on the blue side. I am very happy i bought 2. But i can not give it 5 stars because it is not 10,000 lux per researchers. But do i want high noon light at 7am? No I do not. I am happy with my purchase.

When i searched for a sad lite, I asked for battery operation or recharging light, but ordered this plug in one without realizing i needed to plug it in. The plug maynot be a deal breaker for some people but my house is 1 million years old and we don't have a way to plug anything in. I guess it works if you plug it in. I do like how small this is.

I was very skeptical as to if this light would really help me with my seasonal affect depression. But this thing really has helped. It’s truly amazing! And I don’t start getting really tired and want to go to sleep at 2 o’clock in the afternoon either. It goes right on my desk at work and I stay awake and alert all day.
