From November to February, most of Canada and the northern US goes to work and comes home in the dark, and plenty of people feel it. A bright light lamp is the thing many of them have read about and never got around to buying.
The verdict
This is a lamp, not a treatment, and it is best given that way: a bright, pleasant panel for the breakfast table that many people find makes the season easier. Verilux's settings and timer make it simple to live with, and the slim body means it does not become clutter.

Lux is a measure of light reaching a surface. Ten thousand lux is the figure most bright light lamps are rated at, measured at a specific distance from the panel; move farther away and the number drops quickly, which is why placement matters.
Most sit near it for a period in the morning while doing something else, such as breakfast or email, using the timer to keep the session consistent. Verilux's timer runs up to an hour in five-minute steps.
Verilux describes the light as UV-free. Users generally do not stare into the panel; it sits to one side. Anyone with an eye condition or light sensitivity should ask a clinician before using any bright light lamp.
