On gray/cloudy days I use this light in the morning while drinking coffee. Its my understanding that people with seasonal affective disorder should use a light like this as soon as possible after waking up. For me, 30 minutes of exposure is generally perfect. I can feel my mood lifting almost immediately. I place the lamp about an arms length from me slightly off to the side and just chill out and sip my coffee. It really helps keep me motivated for the rest of the day. For this I am grateful. Be well.Pros: Remote allows for wide range of customization. Light is extremely attractive and organic. Very light weight and easily moved around the house. Well constructed and finished. Worth the price. I highly recommend this light. The volume of light produced is fabulous. Its not intense like a spotlight but rather soft, bright and space filling. Its like brain candy. ;} Seriously! Cons: None noted. But be aware, it's about the size of a dinner plate in diameter and perhaps five inches thick and it has a biggish footprint. Perhaps keep that in mind if space is limited. A smaller light would likely perform similarly and could be stashed away more easily. I keep mine out because its so attractive.

This is an all around EXCELLENT and solid product. I have used many sunlights and this one is by far the most well designed and the most pleasant for home aesthetics. I keep getting compliments about how cool it looks. I can tell a lot of thought and care went into the engineering.I have incorporated using this light to coincide with the direction of the sunrise for morning sun salutations. I have been using it every day since I received it and I have had noticeably higher energy and optimism. I highly recommend this sunlight for anyone who is looking to incorporate light therapy into their lifestyle.The light itself works perfectly. It has a great temperature range that I can quickly adjust depending on the time of day and how I am feeling. The night lamp mode is an awesome feature and works as a cool mood setter. It reminds me of a moon.The remote works great!The remote is one of the best features of this product. It is very responsive. I was pleasantly surprised when I experienced how fast you can dial down the brightness and color temperature. You can hold down the buttons and it responds fluidly. It is responsive and it works perfectly. :)It’s so easy to lose black remotes and electronics so these days I put colored tape and bright cases on black electronics just so I don’t lose them. I love how it is a white remote and distinctly stands out from other remotes.I love how lightweight the overall fixture is but at the same time it feels durable and solid. I can’t emphasize enough how excellent the engineering and design is on this product. It would look very cool in your home or yoga studio.

I live in a pretty dark and secluded area and my room is usually pretty dark at night. I bought this lamp hoping it would just be something to light my up room. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this lamp did such a great job.First off the design:I find the design aesthetically pleasing, almost like a work of art. It resembles something you would find in Japanese art. I like the way the light uniformly shines through the translucent paper-like covers so as not to be blinding when looking directly at the lamp. I also quite like the high quality wood trim. The paper-like covers are made of sturdy plastic so the lamp is durable. The overall build quality and craftsmanship is top notch.Secondly the features:I love the fact that it comes with a remote control. It is a game changer for comfort and convenience. The remote control works flawlessly , has many functions, and has great range. The remote allows you to turn the lamp on and off, dim the light, change the light color/temperature, and control multiple lamps if you have more than one. They really thought it through and future proofed it. I like the fact that you have so many different lighting colors to choose from to better match what room you are using it in and what season your location is currently experiencing.I hope in future products they allow more dim/fade levels, timers for it to automatically turn on and off, and perhaps more colors and maybe a built in bluetooth speaker. I feel like this could all be done through an app on your phone.It is a great versatile product and I quite enjoy using it to brighten my day.

I am a Miami native currently living in the northeast, so snowy/gloomy winters has never been my thing - I struggle with lower energy levels + depressed mood in the winter. And to make matters worse, the sun has been setting around 4:30PM 😭 So... I've made a practice of using my BrightBox daily + I am in love! Everything about the BrightBox is so thoughtful - from the gorgeous design to the many different light settings to the remote. The aesthetically pleasing design makes me WANT to have it out in the open in my living room + having the option to keep a remote nearby allows me to effortlessly utilize the therapeutic benefits of the BrightBox. That's so important - because I'll be honest, I can get lazy about doing what I know I need to do to kick that winter depression to the curb, so any help I can get to keep me on it is good with me! Seriously - If you have been considering a Light Therapy Lamp, this is the one to get.

Style, convenience and remote control. Light range from Sahara Desert bright to afternoon sunset are very good. Does it help I have to say Yes!It is no miracle cure and unlike a sun lamp you can’t put your recliner back and grab a little shut-eye. Eyes open light off to one sideI found starting in the morning most effective but most difficult time to start using the light. Staying awake, alert and just not caring are always Hardest in the morning along with depression. It has taken a few days but I have been able to get things done and feel more alive.

I love the quality and aesthetic appeal of this lamp. I enjoy the different settings and the ease of using the remote. This lamp is lightweight and easy to move from room to room. I’ve been using this lamp 2-4hrs a day for about a month now. The jury is still out if I notice much of a change with SAD. I guess maybe it helps me get out of bed easier in the mornings, and just maybe I’ve been sleeping better... hard to say. It’s a pretty lamp to look at though.

The BrightBox is a beautiful addition to the light therapy family. I have another unit by this company and both are superb in quality and functionality. As a mental health advocate, professional, and one who struggles with seasonal anxiety and depression, the beautiful BrightBox is very effective. Only a few minutes a day goes a very long way. The box also looks beautiful in any room and is made of real wood with several options via the remote. You will not regret this purchase.

I love the architectural, modern look of this. I just use it as a decorative lamp in my living room because the quality of the light and the bamboo frame are beautiful. However, the functions on the remote don’t work and there is not much of a range of control for warmth. And there is no control for brightness. Why do they provide a remote when 90% of the buttons don’t do anything?

First off, this is a beautiful lamp! The wood frame makes it a chic addition to my bedroom and gives off a LOT of light for its size. However, I didn’t get this lamp just for the aesthetics. I also suffer from SAD (seasonal affective depression), and since I work indoors I don’t get a lot of sunlight. Having a lamp like this has been so helpful in managing my symptoms around this time of year, and it’s helped me feel a lot better. I was honestly skeptical at first, but I’m a definite believer now. Highly recommended if you’re someone who suffers from seasonal depression!

YOU CANT EVEN ADJUST THE LIGHT ON THIS BECAUSE THE REMOTE DONT WORK....

i waited about six months to order this light because i wasn’t sure i needed it. i am so happy i bought it. it arrived the night before a very dreary, grey, rainy day. i put it in my office and the whole space felt warm and inviting. in the evening i moved it to the living room for a soft, evening glow. it is a beautiful design, easy to use, and an amazing way to brighten a grey day. highly recommend it!
