Verilux Happy Light Touch short review

One of my besties at work recommended I try out one of these light therapy lamps after I told her about my dreaded Winter Blues as the winter season approaches. She read about them and said that not only do they enhance and uplift your mood, but they also brighten your skin (naturally).

After hearing about the research and being desperate to not have to endure another sad and depressing winter, I bought it to try.

Before I continue the review, I want to emphasize how easy it is to turn on this lamp. It is like turning on an iPad: just press a small flat button in the upper right corner, and it turns on. Ever since having this lamp, I usually use it as my light source instead of my night lamp because it is easy to turn on and off. Despite how bright it is, I still prefer it over my lamp. 

I keep this beside my bed, so I can easily access it. (For the benefits and as a source of light)

This lamp is incredibly BRIGHT! The moment I turn it on, all I see is light, and it is powerful enough to illuminate my entire room. It offers two light settings: daylight and warm light. I personally prefer the daylight setting because it’s noticeably brighter. Additionally, there are three brightness levels, and I always set it to the brightest for maximum effect.

The buttons are conveniently located at the front of the lamp, making them easily accessible. A gentle touch is all it takes to switch between settings, which I find both practical and user-friendly.

It’s still "early" winter, and the winter blues haven’t officially kicked in yet (they usually settle in after Christmas and New Year), but I’ve already noticed my body craving light on darker, gloomier days.

Tilting Angle:

My only complaint is that the angle of the lamp cannot be adjusted, which limits flexibility in positioning. Other than that, I haven’t come across any other drawbacks.

UPDATE:
Today was a gloomy, and snowy day, perfect for giving the lamp a proper test. And let me tell you... I LOVE IT! It works! I followed the instructions, positioning it at a 10 o’clock angle towards my face for 20 minutes. That’s all it took to lift my mood and brighten my day.

I am so glad I made this small investment—it has already proven incredibly rewarding. Not only does it help brighten my space on gloomy days, but it also uplifts my mood and keeps me feeling more energized. It’s a simple yet effective way to combat the winter blues, and I can already feel the positive impact it’s having on my overall well-being. I can confidently say this was a purchase worth making, and I look forward to continuing to reap its benefits throughout the darker winter months.
