Verilux HappyLight Duo - 2-in-1 Light Therapy & Task Floor Lamp - UV-Free Full Spectrum LED, 10,000 LUX, Adjustable Brightness and Color, Flexible Gooseneck, and Adjustable Height

I have struggled with my sleep schedule for decades. This lamp literally changed that completely in a matter of days. It functions flawlessly and actually works therapeutically. I like this particular lamp because I can keep it by my bed and bend it down to my face for my morning light time without having to sit at a desk or have space on my nightstand for it, and it can actually get within a few inches of my face, which is necessary for actual therapeutic use. I have been using the lamp for 4 months and have had no problems whatsoever. I started out using it on a low level for a few days and then progressed up to medium, which was sufficient for my needs. Putting it on high was too much and gave me a headache (I have chronic headaches that are easily triggered). Medium is my sweet spot for effectiveness without a headache. I used it daily for several weeks, and now I just use it a few days a week for maintenance. I went from struggling to go to sleep by 2am to naturally waking around 6-7am and actually getting sleepy at night like a normal human. I am so thrilled and only wish I had found this lamp years ago. I’m buying another for my adult son who also struggles with his sleep schedule. Assembly was not a problem for me and I have never had a moment’s trouble with this lamp, so I don’t really understand the negative comments on some reviews. Mine works perfectly and feels like very high quality. I have no reason to think it won’t last for years. VERY highly recommended!

I had been looking for a lamp to simulate daylight for me, to help get me through some mild Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) symptoms during our very dreary, foggy winter months. I found it with this one! One of the many things I like about this lamp is that it sets on the floor, so I can set it next to my easy chair and use it without having to talk up table space. Its base is solid so you can adjust the bendable portion of the lamp and it doesn’t tip over. I also really like that it has 3 lighting levels and 3 different light tones. I use the bright daylight during the day when I am using it as a remedy for SAD and the soft white lower light level setting in the evening when setting in my chair to read a book. It’s easy to set up and both the height and lamp angle are fairly easy to adjust. The height of the lamp works perfectly next to my chair. The design is very modern looking, so it does clash a bit with my transitional/traditional decor. I do wish they offered it in a more stylish design or maybe a dark bronze color. The utilitarian white isn’t very pretty with my decor but the functionality and versatility of this lamp far outweigh the lack of color/style options.

UPDATE: In less than 2 months, this lamp DIED. I tried taking it apart and reassembling, tried another transformer with similar power output … did bring it back. It died just after the deadline for a return. I am extremely angry at Verilux for producing such a horrible product anc changing so much for it. VERILUX - If you have any honor as a company you would contract me and arrange to reimbursement for the $120.00 plus tax. At the very least, you’d ship me another lamp worth equivalent amount (but not this model because it is horrible). This has to be one of the worse product designs I have ever seen. First, it is incredibly awkward to assemble - good luck stringing the power cord through the pole. I had to tie a string to the cable's barrel connector, put that string through the pole, then pull the cable through. Next, the way the pole attaches to the base is ridiculous. I won't bother trying to describe it. Second, the power cord from the lamp attaches to the power cord on the base with a DC barrel connector. OK, that's find if there will be nothing pull on that cable because barrel connectors come out easily. Well, guess what happens when you raise the height of the lamp - that's right, it pulls the barrel connector out. So, then you have lost power to the light. Which means you need to disassemble it to reconnect the barrel connector. Which will not hold if you raise the height of the lamp! I taped the cables together using electrical tape - I hope that holds. The net result of this awful design is that you have bought a VERY short floor lamp. That defeats the purpose of having a floor lamp. You paid extra for a floor lamp but it only works properly at a height better suited for desk lamp. I spent way too much time fussing with this poorly designed product. It says it is designed in Vermont and made in China. There was a time when they used to say, "Don't worry about all the manufacturing being done in China, because the design is the valuable part and that is done in the USA." Well, these days, if Verilux is any indication, China is now better at product design too. My suggestion is not to pay the premium price for Verilux. The 10,000 LUX light therapy lamps for half the price are just as good, probably better designed, and most likely easier to assemble.

I bought 3 of these lamps. I use 2 when I model paint, one for a photographer light. I like the height adjustment for each task. The light and height adjustment is very easy. This light could be a one size fits all needs. The height is adjustable with the flip of a tab, with the lowest height starting at the bend of of the goose neck 3 feet to the highest 51 inches. If you adjustment the goose neck straight up it acts as a spot light. Tilt it back and it's more of a ambient light. The first light I have owned for over a year and is still working as good as new. The bright white light setting helps me to see true color variations. This is the best task light I have ever seen and is well worth the money. I have not used the light without the height adjustment. The cord length is approximately 68 inches from the lamp to plug.

Amazing light! But incredibly bad assembly instructions. Once you search for videos on how to assemble *and* read the *comments* so you can actually understand how to do it, you end up with a nice looking tall lamp that is definitely very bright. The base is heavy but even with that the lamp feels slightly unstable when touching the "buttons", which do not depress at all which is unsatisfying. I think is slightly on the overpriced range, but it is a very good light according to external technical reviews.

It can get nice and bright and I love the fact that it is adjustable so that I could use it as a regular desk lamp at a lower brightness level.

Great product for the price. easy to put together.

I have same complaints as others about poor design and difficulty of assembly. I had to use string to pull down the cord and am perplexed as to why it was designed this way. I’ve bought and used many verilux lights over the years for SAD so have no doubt that as long as the light continues to work, it will be a worthwhile purchase. But I feel like I now have a heavy lamp that is somewhat fragile and may be unreliable. Time will tell!
