12,000 Lux Portable Blue-Green Bright Light Visor

I had the previous model that was mounted on a visor. It worked for a few years, but then it couldn’t hold a charge as other reviewers mentioned. This time I’m going to follow their instructions regarding when to keep the unit on—and off—the charger. The clip fits well on the brim of my favorite cap. I tend to use the lower intensity 30-minute setting and it’s so comfortable that I often don’t notice when it shuts itself off. Customer Service is great as well. One of my lens was slightly dimmer than the other. After one brief call, I received a replacement and postage in which to return my broken one within a week. So far, I've avoided the bad-mood days that this dark season typically brings. Fortunately, light therapy seems to work for me. Great product. Great company.

This light has helped change my life for the better! I have suffered from delayed sleep phase disorder almost my entire life, starting in my mid teens. I struggled everyday to fall asleep by 4am and get up by noon, and often needed long naps during the day as well. I had tried so many things, nothing helped and I had resigned myself that this was how my life was going to be and I managed it the best I could. My husband ordered this product for me, and I almost sent it back due to the price. "We can't afford it" I said! I'm very glad I decided to keep it, because it really has changed my life for the better. After two months of using the light an hour each morning, I am falling asleep shortly after midnight with no supplements! I wake up between 8 and 9 naturally and have only needed a nap once or twice. I also wear blue light blocking glasses at night in conjunction with the light first thing in the morning. This product has given me the chance for a normal life, which I had given up hope for.

My seasonal blues start right at the equinox. By Dec. 21, the shortest day of the year, I'm practically comatose, craving carbohydrates and 10-hour naps. Around Labor Day this year, I decided this winter is going to be different: I'll remedy the situation before it gets the better of me. I needed something mobile. I wanted to attach the device to my own cap. I needed reliability and effectiveness. I chose this device and got all my wishes. If I do my part, I'm optimistic that this device will help drop-kick my winter blues.It's more economical to buy the device without a cap and use one you already have My advice: make sure your brim is sturdy, not flimsy, and relatively flat; that way the weight of the device won't drag the brim down -- it's not heavy but it's not weightless, either!) -- and the Velcro will attach better. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I had no problem attaching the device: the Velcro still stuck even tho' I pulled it off and repositioned it twice! Put on the cap and switch on the light first thing in the morning and leave it on as you go about your routine at home. (There are two brightness intensities; I've been starting with the lesser intensity, but I will likely change to the higher intensity as the days get shorter.) Keep in mind: this is therapy, not a fashion statement, so, honestly, don't leave the house wearing this thing.In reviews I've read for similar devices, a few people complained of seeing spots and getting headaches. My assumption is this: either the wearers are using a too-strong light intensity, leaving the light on too long, or don't really need sunlight therapy as much as they thought they did. If I wear the device more than 15 minutes I do start to feel over-caffeinated, but I haven't seen spots or gotten headachey. So far, I'm really glad I made this investment. One last bit of advice: recharge the device for 8 hours tops, no overnight plug-in.

This product has been beneficial to me, a major factor in my mental health and well being. Unfortunately it has stopped working after less than a year and this is at least the third time I've had them die. I've been careful to follow the instructions for care, charging the battery exactly how the directions suggest. With all of that attention it should last. The light is super helpful - but it's not reliable. If making a longer lasting, more reliable product would cost more (how expensive are these to make really?), I'd pay.

I've had this for about a week and I really like it. I'll put it on the bill of a cap as soon as I wake up, and I'm able to do everything I need to get ready in the morning. I'll cook, wash dishes, and I've even brushed my teeth with it on. I could probably shave my face while wearing it also but I'm worried about water. I feel a difference in how quickly I wake up and in my mood heading in to work.Someone posted a link to this in an answer to a question about another light, and I am not able to find who that was. If you are reading this, thank you so much for the suggestion.

can not see when wearing it per directions so do not use it, did not solve problem still know when the sun is not out. need grow lights in house not on my head

I have used a desktop light for light therapy and did really well with it ( Sphere Gadget Technologies Lightphoria, 10,000 Lux Energy Light Lamp ) so I was very hopeful, but this doesn't work at all. With the cheaper desktop version, I have results immediately and feel more energetic and less depressed all day. This visor light does not come close. I tried different settings and different lengths times, but it doesn't matter. I'm modifying my previous review and giving it 2 stars instead of one because I was able to return it even though I opened it and used it. Considering you can return it, it might be a worth a try because you can always trade it in for a desktop one later.It is blinding at first, but if you are in a well lit room, your eyes adjust for the most part. The light is green and everything white looks red while it's on and shortly after. Mine came with a clip and not velcro (thank god I didn't ruin a good hat for this).I strongly recommend the Sphere Gadget Technologies Lightphoria. It's annoying that you have to sit in one place early in the morning to use that light, but it works.
