PureGuardian 10,000 LUX Full Spectrum Energy Light with Customizable Blue or White Light Therapy Intensity, Timer, Pure Guardian (Pack 1)

My daughter had one of these lights so I jumped on AMZ and bought one that was already opened for a few dollars less than full price.It arrived in perfect shape in the original carton.This light is not large and can sit on your surface or be hung up.It has SO MANY features in one inexpensive light. ( The first full spectrum huge lap I bought many years ago, cost me hundreds of dollars. I had to pass it on as my new place was too small for a light that large.)This lamp is super easy to use with the self-explanatory switches.It also has a little toggle roller switch on the cord to turn it on and off.

I think this is a great product, I live in the PNW and it rains pretty much everyday (or at least it feels like that), and people seriously gets the rainy day blues ('cause there's no sun!!!). I have this set up on my desk, and I have it on when I study, it is really neat because it is pretty much the size of an iPad and does not take up much space, on the side there are controls to turn the light on/off, set the timer, and switch between white/blue light; I normally have this set at the 30min mark and just turn it back on once the time is up (I like it on, it makes me feel all bright and stuff).I didnt have this light last year and the rainy season was miserable, I was pretty much depressed the entire time from oct-june, however, since ive gotten this lamp and have been using it, I havent felt depressed, even though i have pretty much the same level if not more stress going on in my life.A little side note, I had started growing a mini table top basil plant that instructed to have the plant sit in direct sunlight when I first bought this light, and since we've hit rainy season, there was no sun, so I just sat it on my desk in front of this happy lamp, and guess what! it sprouted! It's super awesome!

I find the white light setting to be too bright, but the blue light setting is great. I love the timer, and it's a good reminder, when working at the computer with it on, to take an eye break and stretch. I wish it had a battery in it though, so it could be more easily taken around. As it is, you're confined to a space with an outlet.

I couldn't see spending almost two hundred dollars on a little blue light from another company, and I wasn't sure if white light or blue light would benefit me more-so finding this light was perfect! I had researched the therapeutic benefits of white lights and found that 10000 lux was essential and that blue light therapy was just as beneficial as the white. The size of this unit is about the size of a tablet with the light surface being 5.5"x8" tall-not too big and definitely not too small! The 3 brightness levels are a plus and I love that I can choose white or blue light. My eyes prefer the blue light. The four stage timer is really convenient too. It's really easy to use-power button, up & down brightness level button, timer button, and light choice button. I have noticed that my SAD is not as bad this year too, I'm not as moody or depressed. I would highly recommend this (and I have) to anyone who is looking to purchase a full spectrum light and at a great price to boot!!

I need a full hour of light during the winter on the brightest setting, and the timer on this one only goes up to 30m. So if I want to use this, I have to first press the "up brightness" button three or four times, and then the "increase timer" button three or four times to bring it from 5m (!!!) to 30m. And then I have to do it again 30m later. There is no way to just "turn it on" and have it stay on. This can get pretty annoying.

Originally gave this product a one star rating when it died after two months, then the company stepped up and I had a replacement in a flash. Love when companies actually care about their customers. I give this company a 10 star for excellent customer service!First Review: Got this for my husband and he was using it daily for 10 minutes. He was enjoying using it. Just stopped working yesterday, Nov 5, purchased it Sept 19th. Really disappointed. It looked really nice and seemed to help, but stopped working after such a short time.Nov 6: I found contact info for Guardian Technologies and I'm waiting to hear if they'll refund or replace. ([email protected] or 1.866.603.5900 for others with faulty product).Nov 9 update: Wow, fantastic customer service. I mailed the light back by UPS, (they paid for label cost,) and today I already received a replacement. I just used it on the five minute timer and it's working great so far. Happy to change my rating from a one to a five!

I am a person living with sighted non-24 which is a circadian rhythm disorder. I bought this lamp to attempt to regulate my sleep with light therapy.... I was a bit concerned about how comfortable this lamp would be as I am also recovering from Lyme Disease, which makes a person very sensitive to light. I have had to work my way up from 5 minutes a day into the longer periods of time, but I have found this lamp to be very comfortable to use and it is also greatly increasing my wakefulness during the day. I am also more cheerful I have noticed. It has not yet done anything to affect my sleep rhythm, but I think that is more a function of my broke circadian rhythm than this lamp... I plan to continue to use it for the mood and wakefulness benefits even if in the long run it does nothing for my sleep rhythm.
