Why this model:
The Verilux HappyLight Liberty 10K Energy Lamp provides up to 10,000 LUX* of full spectrum light, the highest recommended output for addressing seasonal change, the 'winter blues' or the effects of shift work, jet lag, malaise or fatigue. Balanced Natural Spectrum illumination taps the potency of light to gently cue your body to recalibrate and stabilize, naturally reducing fatigue and lethargy while improving focus and concentration.
No two people view and react to light in the same way, so this energy lamp provides the flexibility to customize the light to meet your needs. High-Low intensity controls, interchangeable lenses and a tilt feature give you maximum flexibility to design the program that works best for you. A broad field of up to 10,000 LUX* of light provides a more flexible program, allowing you to be farther from the lamp and to move around more freely during use.
When to use it:
For most people, 30 to 60 minutes is a productive, effective light therapy session – generally in the morning. Some may also flip on the light for a while in the afternoon to combat the difficult 'lunch coma'.
Why the light's not too bright:
The Liberty 10K is designed to provide effective, comfortable light therapy. An Optix lens diffuses the light to reduce glare and eye fatigue, and Flicker-Elimination Technology further reduces fatigue and discomfort.
Key Features
- 10,000 LUX of soothing Natural Spectrum illumination
- Two interchangeable, replaceable lenses – High-Energy and Comfort – and two light intensity settings provide four options to tune the light to your needs , comfort and energy level
- Optix lenses reduce glare and eye fatigue
- Wall mountable for convenient, discreet use
- Tilts 15° forward and backward to expand the treatment area
- Compact design for portable, convenient use with no reduction in performance
What is LUX?
LUX is simply a measure of the intensity or brightness of a light at a given distance from its source. The National Institute of Health identified 2,500 to 10,000 LUX as the optimum range for comfortable, effective light therapy.
How it works:
Verilux HappyLights provide broad spectrum light therapy to stimulate all of the eye's photoreceptors: cones, rods and the newly discovered melanopsin. HappyLights offer photopic light (primarily stimulating the cones) and scotopic light (primarily stimulating the rods) to reduce the size of the pupil, relaxing the eye for more comfortable light therapy. Melanopsin helps set the body's daily cycles and is triggered by Natural Spectrum Light. Scientists have demonstrated that bright light therapy can act like daylight to restore balance, mood and energy.

Why it works:
Our bodies take cues from the environment – especially from light. When our schedules are driven by man-made light, it may negatively affect our circadian system. Underexposure to natural light can result in:
The winter blues, Fatigue, Sleeplessness, Lack of focus and concentration.
Energy lamps help the body recalibrate and stabilize by cuing its natural energy enhancers and providing light to replace what’s missing during the winter months.

This is my second verilux happy light. I had bought one years ago and it’s still working, bought a new one because of the sleek design. Very happy with my light. My husband finds it brighter than I do which is what the instructions said, people have different sensitivity to light. I like it has two lens to choose from, this is a newer feature. This time of year, I rely on my happy light.

Lamp works well, but the marketing claim that this Lamp is "UV-Free" is (at best) misleading.

The lamp itself is small enough not to take up a huge footprint on your desk or counter. It has a long power cord, so it can reach outlets further away. The lamp swivels forward and back in its base, so you can place it on a surface above or below eye level and adjust its position accordingly. I often use it in the kitchen while I'm prepping meals--you can easily get in 10-20 minutes of light therapy while chopping, sauteeing onions, and packing the kids' lunches. I also get in some light therapy by moving the lamp (again, bonus for being a lightweight and small device) next to my desk and getting some rays while I binge watch Netflix, read the news, or watch a few clips on YouTube. Which brings me to my next point, don't feel like you have to sit down and do a one hour session at some appointed time daily. You can break up the light exposure into 10-20 minute increments, mimicking your exposure to actual sunlight during a summer day when might go in and outdoors throughout the day. You should not stare at the light itself; the lamp should however be pointed somewhere towards the front of your face. There is only one switch, which turns the device off, high, and low. And there are two lenses (the plastic covering to the bulb) which can be snapped on and off pretty easily and are held in place magnetically: the high-intensity lens and the comfort lens. The amount of light you can receive on this light are as follows:
High energy lens on high setting: 10,000 LUX
High energy lens on low setting: 7,500 LUX
Comfort lens on high setting: 5,000 LUX
Comfort lens on low setting: 3,500 LUX
For perspective, a clear spring morning sunshine gives you around 10,000 LUX while exposure to the sun at noon on a summer day is over 100,000 LUX. My therapist and numerous studies say that you need a lamp to provide at LEAST 10,000 LUX to be therapeutically effective, but I recommend experimenting with the levels and exposure. For some people, the bright light can give headaches or nausea. The product manual recommends for those folks to start low and work your way up to higher light settings. You should also consider the time of day that you are using the light. I like to use a high setting during the morning, but if it's already 6 pm when I get to sit down in front of Netflix (and it's already past sunset outside), I'll turn on the light on the lowest setting so I get some exposure. You don't want to use the lights too late into the evening or you'll mess with your internal circadian system and make it difficult to regulate sleep. I just try to use the lamp to mimic a late spring/early summer day during these fall and winter months.
Final warning, my therapist was adamant to warn that those suffering from bi-polar disorders have been shown to be negatively impacted by using light therapy. So if that applies to you, approach with caution.
