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 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.

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 use the light for painting projects and it lights up the work area very well. It is easy to set the light to cover the area being worked on . It assembled easily and the base is sturdy - well weighted. The only drawback is that the power cord plug into the base is subject to breakage due to its location (it is easy to bend the plug during normal light movement to highlight changing painting angle, which caused it to break completely off for me). However, I mentioned this to verilux customer service via their webpage and they promptly sent a replacement part. I am very happy with the service and the very prompt reply to my contact email. A previous model that I purchased in 2017 is working great with no problems so hope that this power plug problem is just an anomaly (probably will rig up some protection device for the new plug).. Will purchase another, most likely, if / when my project area expands Love the light settings - both type of light and brightness level. Update on customer service concerning the broken power cord plug: I am blown away with the fast, courteous and accurate customer service. Within 2 weeks I had in hand a brand new lght - not just the power cord like I expected. In fact, I would have been happy to pay for the replacement power cord so I was doubly impressed with their commitment to make the light work again.

THE BAD "cant put the lamp to the base no matter what I try what a piece of crap design." That was my original review of the lamp on the day I Purchased it. It took me 2 hours to figure out that it was a mistake on their instruction guide. There is NO WAY to put the pole in the Base if you follow the manual. There are 3 steps in the instructions. YOU CANT DO STEP 2 IF YOU DON'T DO STEP 3 FIRST. You have to extend the pole before you can insert the pole in the base. I called Customer service and they were no help. After waiting 5 minutes they said no one could help me and to leave my name and number for someone to call me back. Customer should not have to figure our why its NOT working and then realize the instructions are backwards. THE GOOD I would have given 5 stars if not for the frustration of trying to put the lamp together. It is quite easy actually IF you do Step 1 ,3 and THEN step 2. The Lamp itself is great for the price. Wish I would have had it during the winter. Really good lamp with different environment modes and 5 choices of light strength. EDIT on 3/11/23. ( purchased 4/2022) It no longer works. It only lights at the weakest strength. There is no way to change the bulb. Why make it non replaceable if it only works for 11 months? I have downgraded to a 1 star. Huge rip off. Edit Nov 8 2025 Bought another one and same thing only works for about a year. Then you will need to buy another one. Just threw my second one out. Purchased around Jan of 2024 stopped working a few months ago where it would only give a small amount of light. I took apart and made sure everything was connected properly but did not improve.

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.

Mostly want to write the review to let people know that its not difficult to assemble. My husband laughed after I had it put together 60 seconds after unboxing, because he said there were so many reviews that said assembly was so awful. It took me 2 attempts to feed the cord through the center, and then threaded the base on. Literally didn't read directions. Hubby did mention the tip of stretching out the lamp to more easily tighten up the base and that tip helped. Now I am somewhat handy, but not a pro by any means. And this is not to say that other people's experiences are invalid - but that it might not be so difficult to assemble for you. The lamp itself is quality - the feel of the unit has a nice texture to it, it moves easily in position, the lighting levels are good. And it looks decent.

I purchased this light based on the many positive reviews. Some people on YouTube actually did lux and color temperature experiments with this light and it proved very true to its description. The ability to adjust color temp and lux intensity is an asset. Keep in mind that 10,000 lux on high is generally recommended. As for the problem some people had putting the unit together, I can't figure out why there had been so many negative complaints about this. It's basically common sense when putting it together and I found it very simple. You just have to be careful when completing the base attachment to ensure the wire fits in the groove in the small round metal plate in the base. Otherwise, very easy to put together.

Updating my review to one star. This lamp was good until it decided to just fail on us earlier this spring after just a couple of yrs. Turned it on as usual, same place as always and something in it blew and it turned off never to turn on again. Hate to have to throw it in the trash. Such a waste of materials & money. I have a lamp fm my folks that was in their house since the 70s and still works. So tired of the planned obsolescence crap they make now. Old review: Very happy with this lamp. Not a huge fan of dentist office aesthetic, but my home is in the trees & this light is a game changer in my shady dining room. My father came by and saw my son using it for drawing and noticed the strength of the light for task work & asked about where I got it. Didn’t have issues putting it together, but I did attach a string to the wire to pull it through. No biggie. Would have appreciated more instructions about technical specifications, research links & recommendations for exposure at different settings etc.

good quality, height, and I like the light temperature adjustment.

This is my second purchase from this brand and their products have nice build quality. The assembly feels sturdy. But the power connector is tiny/fragile and at the floor level, very exposed to a kick, step, or being caught by a robot vaccum. That's why it lost a start in the review, this is a poor design decision. They probably reused the parts from other desk lamps and should not have. I like that this light has the option to change color temperatures, and change brightness. I don't like that it doesn't keep memory of the choices when unplugged from the power outlet, making it impossible to use with a smart outlet.
