I got the compact model a few days ago and I absolutely love it! For its compact size, it really puts out some bright light. I could feel the benefits of it only after about 2 hours. And, later that night I slept really well. Very happy with the purchase!
I already own a Happy Light. I bought one for my brother on this order. He seems to be very pleased with the light. Yesterday I recommended the Happy Light to a friend who is purchasing one for her daughter.
MY 20 year old SAD light is huge, bulky and very heavy. The Verilux is so lightweight and I can take it anywhere. We have many cloudy days in the winter here in the midwest. :)
I have 2 - one in my bedroom and one in my office. I use them to wake up and when I get sleepy after lunch. Rainy days are depressing and the light helps tremendously. It’s wonderful!
Since it is already at Daylight savings time, I will wait until next autumn to use it, but it was a good deal, and it fit into a spot by my easy chair just right, and I'll use it in the morning catching up on the news....it seems sturdy and it should fit the bill! I have had experience with this company and never been disappointed!
