What to Consider Before Purchasing a Light Therapy Lamp
Your Condition: For those that are diagnosed with a health condition such as seasonal affective disorder or seasonal depression, it's important to get a clinical/medical rated therapy light. These lights are designed to give out the max amount of light for optimal results. If you are someone that only has minor issues, a health/wellness rated lamp will work as well. Consult your doctor if you have any questions/concerns.
Where are you Putting Your Lamp: Each of our lamps offer different dimensions and sizes for different areas. If the area you'll be putting your lamp is compact, then you should consider one of our smaller models.
Light Angle: If you are placing your therapy lamp in a crowded space, you'll want a lamp that offers flexibility with an adjustable angle. This will give you the option to adjust accordingly to your area.
Light Sensitivity: If you are sensitive to light, then you might want to consider one of our models that feature different light brightness settings. Some may struggle with a light that can only be on/off without being able to customize the light intensity.
LUX: In order to get optimal results, it's important to get a lamp that provides 10,000 LUX. A lamp that does not meet this requirement may not work well. Anything over 10,000 LUX does not offer additional therapeutic value.

Compact, sleek, and portable
For those looking for a distinctive look in a portable light therapy lamp, the TheraLite Radiance offers just that. Its slim design quickly folds up for travel or storage and it features an alarm clock, wireless phone charger, and USB port.
"It's bright, 10K lux, true to word. Fixed color temperature is rated at 3000K which is what I noticed in my observations. The light output is a traditional desk lamp style, does not provide the type of flood lighting that is typical for a dedicated light therapy lamp, but I find this to be perfectly adequate for what I use it for, which is a traditional desk lamp. It excels in this area. The illumination is excellent and can be angled from approximately 10 degrees through 170 degrees."

THERALITE HALO
Designed to Stand Out
The Halo is by far one of our most unique designs. Its round screen and two-point adjustable angle makes it both stylish and easy-to-use. It comes with a built-in wireless charger and four adjustable light settings.
"This light is a godsend. After the first use, you notice the difference, in your mood and even a slight boost in cognitive functioning shortly afterwards if you’ve been affected by SAD. I felt full of energy and had one of the best days I’d had in a long time."
