Lightphoria 10,000 lux SAD Light Therapy Pad
Posted on | November 17, 2011 | No Comments
Seasonal Affect Disorder known as SAD is a condition that occurs when levels of natural light are low. For the past decade scientists and medical professionals have been utilizing artificial light sources to mimic natural sunlight to help alleviate the affects of the disorder. The Lightphoria SAD light allows those suffering from SAD to receive natural light therapy in the convenience of their own home. Light therapy is known to improve mood, regulate the body’s internal clock, reduce stress and provide energy without any harmful side effects.
There are numerous models of SAD lamps on the market, but I like Lightphoria’s SAD light for its simplicity. The Lightphoria has three intensity levels ranging from low to high. The lowest level emits 5,000 LUX the mid level emits 8,000 LUX and the high level emits 10,000 LUX. The SAD light sits conveniently on a desk or table top and the modern design will look good in any type of décor. The Lightphoria SAD light is also small enough to make traveling with the unit easy thus allowing you to enjoy the benefits of light therapy while away from home.
The Lightphoria SAD light emits a wide spectrum light wavelength which is the closest to natural sunlight. Other SAD lamps only use blue-green spectrum of light which limits the full benefits of light therapy. By providing users with a wide spectrum of light, Lightphoria ensures optimum results with no harmful side effects. Users have noted an improvement in energy, sleep regularity, mood and claim that waking up in the morning is easier since their internal clocks are being regulated.
Another definite selling point is the low price. This SAD lamp is placed much lower than other units but produces the same results as the higher priced models. The unit does not have fancy buttons or touch screen capability, nor does it have sleep timers and built in sounds or mood enhancers. This is why the price can be so affordable while enjoying the same benefits.
Overall I like the simplicity and the inexpensive price point of the Lightphoria SAD Light Therapy Pad and I would recommend the SAD lamp to anyone who is suffering from Seasonal Affect Disorder or even just low energy levels. Just about everyone could benefit from thirty minutes of daily light therapy to help stabilize sleep patterns, increase energy and improve overall mood. Why not take advantage of such incredible benefits at such a great price. Order today and you can start feeling more energetic in no time at all.

Posted on | November 10, 2011 | No Comments
The Mesa 160 Bright SAD lamp is one of the largest SAD lamps available on the market today. This SAD lamp is built tough with a steel casing that will last longer than units housed in a plastic casing. The Mesa 160 offers the main benefit of quick light therapy treatment. The two bulbs, each of which is 80 watts, offer the user 10,000 LUX at distances of up to 65 centimeters. This is a much more practical distance than most desktop light therapy models require. It is not very convenient to have to sit too close to a light in order to maximize or appreciate the benefits of light therapy.
The Mesa 160 utilizes a unique curved prism diffuser that maximizes the light benefits and ensures proper exposure for the user. This feature increases the efficiency of the SAD lamp which is why the lamp requires less exposure time for the user than the typical SAD lamp. This allows you more time to do what you want to be doing and not sitting in front of a light box. The device also has a dimmer which allows you to fully control the level of brightness utilized during therapy.
Versatility is another added bonus that this SAD lamp provides. The Mesa 160 comes equipped with an angled prop that can be used on a table or desktop allowing the user to angle the light to suit their needs. The SAD lamp can also be mounted to a wall to accommodate any space issues or if there is not a desk or table top available. The unit is portable enough to take along with you whenever you travel or go on holiday. This is an added bonus for those who travel for work or pleasure.
Overall the Mesa 160 Bright SAD Lightbox is a well crafted, sturdy and smart option for those that need relief from the symptoms of seasonal affect disorder. The size and efficiency of the unit make it desirable to anyone wishing to purchase a SAD lamp that will stand the test of time. Users note that use of the light for thirty minutes helps to diminish the effects of SAD. They site an increase in energy, better mood, improved sleep patterns and overall feeling of increased well being as being just a few of the benefits they enjoyed after using the light on a regular basis. If you suffer from SAD, or just want to increase your energy levels then I recommend you invest in this SAD lamp.
Philips Hf3470/60 Wake-up Light
Posted on | November 3, 2011 | No Comments
The Philips Company has been working with the National Sleep Foundation to study the benefits of light therapy for the human body. The Philips Company does is committed to understanding the science behind sleep therapy and offering the best products available on the market for home light therapy. The Philips line of SAD lamps includes the Philips Wakeup light. This SAD light is more than just an alarm clock. The Wakeup light offers a new, healthier way to get the morning started on a positive note. Users notice they have more energy and wake up ready to get the day started without drinking coffee or an energy drink. The Philips Wakeup light actually uses light to help sleep. This might sound counterintuitive, but the science behind the method has proven that the method offers real benefits.
The Wakeup light works by creating a light that simulates a natural sunrise. The sunrise is nature’s own alarm clock especially designed to gently wake us from our slumber. Our bodies were not designed to be abruptly and rudely awakened! The Wakeup light emits a light that gradually increases in brightness to wake you from your slumber in a peaceful way. This helps increase energy and provides a great start to the day. Instead of waking up already stressed the body wakes up in a relaxed mood.
Other features of the Wakeup light include the option to wake to natural sounds or FM radio in addition to the simulated sunrise. The natural sunrise has 20 different brightness settings and lets you decide how fast and how bright the Wakeup is by giving users the option to change the settings. There is also a snooze function built in to the Wakeup light for those wishing to gain a few addition winks of sleep before taking on the day.
The compact size makes the Wakeup light easy to fit on any bedside table or dresser. The unit is 6.5” x 6.5” x 10” and only weighs 3.5 pounds. The unique design looks ultra chic and modern. The soft halogen light is refreshing and the bulbs are replaceable which can be a real money saver! Many units do not incorporate light bulbs that can be replaced which renders the unit useless when the bulbs are burned out.
Overall, this is a great product. I enjoy waking up gradually to the soft light but I also can appreciate the backup FM radio alarm as a backup measure. The Philips name has a long standing reputation as making quality products so I am more apt to purchase from them than I am a company I have no knowledge about. The unit comes with a forty five day money back guarantee so you can try the product risk free.
Naturebright Sun Touch Plus Light And Ion Therapy Lamp
Posted on | October 6, 2011 | No Comments
Do you ever notice that you become tired and gloomy when the weather is dreary? Or during the winter months how some become depressed and lethargic? There is a scientific cause that creates this condition. It is lack of sunlight. SAD or seasonal affect disorder is a real and serious condition brought on by a lack of essential sunlight. Tanning has been known to combat this disorder, but tanning has serious health risks. The Naturebright Sun Touch Plus light and ion therapy lamp can eliminate the negative effect of a lack of sunlight in a safe and convenient manner.
The benefits gained by using light therapy go further than just battling SAD. Light therapy combined with negative ion therapy can regulate the internal body clock. The internal body clock is that mechanism that tells our body when to sleep and when to wake. People with changing work shifts or those that work odd hours can greatly benefit from using Sun Touch Plus lamp. The therapy has even been shown to decrease the effects of jet lag. Perhaps the most important benefit the therapy offers is providing an automatic antidepressant effect. Many suffers from depression rely on drugs to balance their mood and help them to interact in society. Negative ion light therapy can alleviate the effects and symptoms of depression in just a matter of days when used consistently.
The Sun Touch Plus light system delivers 10,000 lux sky effect light and negative ion therapy. The manufacturer commissioned the Age and Macular Degeneration Center at the University of Texas’ Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences to test the product and ensure that no retinal damage was being caused by the use of the lamp. The study’s results conclude that it would be highly unlikely that this lamp would cause any damage when used within the manufacture’s guidelines. This light is a convenient size that can easily accommodate travel needs so that you can take it wherever you go. The therapy basically gives your body the same calming and soothing effect it would experience if you were at the ocean or near a waterfall.
Stress is so highly prevalent in our society today. More and more people turn to medication to help relieve their condition. SAD can intensify the effects that stress creates within our bodies. Add to that lack of sleep and an inconsistent routine and you have a recipe for major depression. Medical and prescription costs are on the rise and treatment for these conditions can become quite expensive. A cheaper and more effective way to combat these conditions is to utilize the positive effects of light therapy combined with negative ion therapy. The end results are better and there is no need for medication that alters brain chemicals. Just thirty minutes a day being exposed to natural, safe ions and light.
Lumie Bodyclock ELITE 300 Wake-up Light Alarm Clock
Posted on | September 22, 2011 | No Comments
Most people will agree that the sound of the dreaded alarm in the morning is not a soothing or relaxing way to start out the day. Being greeted by some obnoxious noise designed to make one jump straight up out of bed in a heated panic is not the way nature intended for humans to rise and shine. Our bodies are created to respond to the gradual rising of the sun and the natural increase in noises in our environment. The sounds of chirping birds and nature’s other noises are meant to gently prompt us from our slumber. Beep, beep, beep blasting from a speaker box is not a sound found in nature and it is not a proper way for us to be aroused from our slumber. This is all good and well, but we have to be at work by a set time. There are deadlines to meet and projects to start. There is no time for allowing our bodies to wake up gradually with only nature as our alarm. That is until now. The Bodyclock ELITE 300 makes this pipedream a reality.
The SAD lamp mimics what nature intended for us; gradually awakening to sunlight and noise. The ELITE 300 allows the user to customize the settings for the optimum waking up experience. A timer can be used to determine how quickly the light will reach full capacity. Soothing sounds can be added that can increase in volume until you are awake. A radio tuner allows you to wake up to music or you can use a memory card and wake to whatever you chose. The possibilities are virtually endless! Not only can the ELITE 300 SAD lamp be used to gently rouse you from your slumber, but the device doubles as a sleep aid. The sunset feature allows you to set a length of time where the light will go from bright to dim until it is completely dark. The sleep timer allows the user to fall asleep listening to the sounds of nature.
Users of the ELITE 300 SAD lamp have reported increases in energy, better night’s sleep, decrease in SAD symptoms and an increase in an overall feeling of well being. The smart design of the ELITE 300 adds style to any room. The unit is small enough that you can pack it with you when you are on holiday or traveling for work. Free yourself from the nagging sound of an alarm clock and start reaping the benefits of waking gradually to nature’s soothing method.

The Lumie Bodyclock ACTIVE 250 is the perfect device to resolve this issue. The ACTIVE 250 combines sound and light therapy to help you wake up naturally.

The user can also choose from a wide range of sounds that can be set to accompany the sunrise simulation. Just as the brightness can be controlled, so can the audio function. Users can choose from numerous options from soothing sounds to the standard alarm sound and can control the intensity of the sound. The audio alarm can also begin softly and increase in intensity until it is turned off.
The ACTIVE 250 can also be used in the sleep timer function allowing it to serve as a nightlight or audio distraction for a set length of time. This function is perfect for those who enjoy background noise when drifting off to a slumber. The nightlight function is perfect for small children. Travelers might also appreciate the nightlight function when they are sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings. The possible uses are endless and as customizable as the number of people choosing to use the device. The ACTIVE 250 is designed so that the bulb can be replaced in the event that it should burn out. The device also comes with a two year warranty ensuring complete customer satisfaction and worry free purchasing.
If you are suffering from SAD, stress, anxiety or a sleep disorder this is the perfect answer to your problems.
