Lumie DESKLAMP - SAD Light Therapy and Task/Reading lamp

Love this light. Wasn't sure whether it'd be worth the money but it definitely has been. Great for working from home in winter. Has definitely helped me avoid those winter lows and actually allowed me to complete some pretty long days without feeling tired. You definitely notice it makes you feel physically different. While the design is a little bit like a floodlight (not everyone's cup of tea), it works really well as a desk lamp providing the right amount of light (doesn't blind you). Can keep it on all day (doesn't get hot due to being LED) and has 4 settings of brightness, which, when coupled with the angling options of the light, make for quite a bit of flexibility in lighting intensity. Others have complained about touch sensor, but once I figured out you just keep your hand on the touch sensitive panel to move through the 4 light settings I actually thought it worked very well. Had it about a month now and very happy. If your a swithering about whether to buy that cheap light or this (as I did), I'd say if your working from home for the next few months it'll be worth it as when you've got it on it doesn't feel like working in winter.

Fantastic Quality Lamp with some very bright settings, a friend of mine commented on how bright it was compared to a cheaper type of lamp he had purchased. There are 4 light or brightness settings and also included is a removable filter that reduces the intensity or brightness which is really useful if you want to use the lamp without having such a strong SAD Therapy Session. The filter enables you to use the lamp as a wonderful reading or activity lamp. All I can say is that as a SAD lamp it really works well certainly helps lift a poor mood I may have and also makes a big impact on my level of alertness and concentration. One thing be careful how late in the day you use the lamp especially on the high intensity setting as it will stop you going to sleep well it did with me. A good purchase and yes more expensive than some of the SAD lamps out there however worth the extra money. A good one.

I bought this as I frequently work late evening and night shifts at my desk and wanted some "daylight".Overall I'm quite impressed. The lamp is very bright as would be expected of such a device. The lamp stem is adjustable in two axes so it's possible to point the lamp (within reason) at whatever you need it to illiuminate. The lamp body is plastic but has a high quality finish and is very easy to clean with a duster or wiped down with a damp cloth.There are however a couple of down sides to this lamp. Firstly, even with the diffuser fitted the light is highly directional. If you currently use a more conventional desk lamp with a bulb or typical bulb-replacement LED then be prepared for this lamp to be much more directional. Not sure this would be capable of 1-for-1 replacing any sort of desk lamp for that reason. To be clear it works as a desk lamp and works well, but the light is much more directional than conventional desk lights.The second and most significant down side is the switch. Or lack of a switch to be precise. The lamp uses a touch control sensor to turn on and off and also to adjust the lamp brightness. On mine the sensor works but is incredibly fussy. Sometimes it refuses to acknowledge a press. Sometimes it needs to be left for a few seconds between presses in order to change the brightness setting. It's also incredibly fussy about where on the lamp body I have to press. Obviously I didn't expect the touch sensor to work everywhere but the acceptable area is *tiny*. Frankly operating the touch control is an exercise in frustration rather than being the seamless experience it should be. At this price it's barely acceptable and I can't believe that this sensor function actually passed product design testing. I'm far from the only one to have had sensor issues - read the other reviews.All in all would I recommend this? Yes, it does exactly what it claims to do in terms of offering a really nice daylight experience during darker hours. It does however need a quality control review by Lumie.

Delivery was THE fastest ever in my life and I was very excited to start using my SAD lamp. Sadly, when I opened the package I discovered that instead of EU mains plug there was a UK one.I looked through all product descriptions if I had missed that detail but I did not find any reference to UK plug. In the past 5 years I always received EU mains plugs to all my interntional orders given that the destination was Hungary.Now I have to go and look for a UK -> EU adapter before I can start using my new lamp.Then I can come back and upgrade the rating.Update after customer service contact.After contacting Amazon customer service, I was suggested to by an additional adapter 7-8 GBP and Amazon would take on the shipping cost of a separate UK->EU plug adatpter. This very much surprised me because as the attached picture shows the lamp was fitted with a mains plug that was designed to support different slide-in plugs like a universal travel adapter kit so all it is needed is to get the slide-in EU part for it from the manufacturer probably.Onto the lamp: indeed, it is a big and expensive desklamp :) I like it though. It is a focused brightness unlike most sad lamps with the light tubes. Directing it on the wall or ceiling to reflect and shine the whole office room in does not work the way I imagined. The dimmer cover is fairly easy to take off on put on. I use the lamp from the side all day on the lowest brightness setting, lighting my desk and laptop while some of the light gets into my eyes. I am not doing the therapy use and still I think it must be working somehow because I am still "awake" at 4 pm in my dark office, I feel to be in a better mood in general despite the cold and winter dark so even if it is the power of suggestion that is at work here I am glad I bought this lamp. The lamp is 5 stars, Amazon however, disappointed me on this occasion.

Für 130E ein gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis und eine Prima Lampe Ansicht.Der verwendete Kunststoff ist glatt und pflegel5, vermittelt aber keine gehobene Wertigkeit.

Trois positions de puissance. Les deux premières font un petit "bziiiiiiiii" gênant, la pleine puissance ne fait pas de bruit.Je ne l'ai utilisée qu'à pleine puissance à cause de ça, mais ça n'a pas été un souci, elle n'éblouit pas.Pas de souci d'humeur cet hiver ! Et un éclairage tout à fait correct de ma zone de travail.

Il n’y a pas d’interrupteur uniquement un bouton Sensor peu réactif.Il faut appuyer plusieurs fois pour obtenir la luminosité souhaitée du coup pour l’éteindre il faut appuyer plusieurs fois également et chaque jour appuyer plusieurs fois pour retrouver la bonne luminosité. Bref un casse-tête, j’aurais préféré un simple bouton off et un réglage de la luminosité à part.

Ich habe die Lampe jetzt seit einem halben Jahr und kann sie guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Sie kommt bei mir im Schnitt 5 Stunden pro Tag zum Einsatz, überwiegend als Schreibtischlampe. Aufgrund des niedrigen Stromverbrauches und der Leuchtkraft wäre es wirklich schade, nur seine Trübsinnigkeit damit zu bekämpfen. Obwohl sie einen biegsamen Schwanenhals besitzt, ist sie nicht gerade filigran, sondern ziemlich wuchtig. Für kleine Schreibtische eignet sie sich deshalb wohl eher weniger?! Bei mir steht sie hinter dem Monitor, verkehrt herum, um für indirekte Beleuchtung zu sorgen. Möchte ich meine Stimmung aufhellen, drehe ich sie rum, und lasse mich während der Bildschirmarbeit 1 bis 2 Stunden von ihr blenden. Eine erträgliche Tortur, welche ihre Wirkung nicht verfehlt. Ich bin seit her, ein aufgeweckteres Kerlchen. Sie treibt einem die Müdigkeit tatsächlich aus. Zur Wirkung bei einer Winterdepression kann ich (noch) nichts sagen. Herbst-Burnout und Winterblues lassen noch auf sich warten. Sonst um die Zeit schon da!Mit dem Sensorschalter hatte ich anfangs meine Probleme. Für ihn gilt der Spruch, "Wie es in den Wald hinein schallt, so schallerts auch wieder hinaus". Will sagen: Der Schalter reagiert sensibel, wenn man ihn sensibel berührt. Je härter man ihn ran nimmt, desto unwilliger schaltet er.Die Verarbeitung der Lichttherapielampe ist gut. Einzig der Lumie-Schriftzug auf der Rückseite sieht aus wie mit dem Küchenmesser reingeritzt.Von mir gibt es zunächst volle 5 Sterne. Da die Lichtdusche nicht gerade günstig daher kam, erwarte ich allerdings auch eine lange Haltbarkeit....

Design futuriste, légère à transporter, long fil d'alimentation. Ne relevez pas trop la tête lumineuse à la verticale, car il y a un risque de déséquilibre vers l'arrière et de chute de la lampe.Quant à l'efficacité sur l'horloge biologique, je trouve cela efficace. Cherchez sur Internet des conférences données par des médecins chercheurs sur le sujet, c'est très instructif.N.B. Pour ceux qui ont tendance à s'endormir trop tôt et à se lever trop tôt, la lampe s'utilise en soirée (et non au lever) de manière à retarder la production de mélatonine. Enfin, surtout, parlez-en à votre médecin. :)
