The body seems a mite flimsy and cheap-feeling. The logo on the front looks like it ought to be a button, and definitely isn't- the switch is on the back instead. The one I demo'd was a lot sturdier and more intuitive. Still, seems sufficiently functional. The light is strong enough for the job and the cord is sturdy.
It has been wonderful during the dreary days of winter! I liked it soo much that I bought it for 3 family members. They love it. It’s brings sunshine on a cloudy day into your life.
I did a slow adjustment (10 minutes) for the first week, because it made me feel a little jumpy. I use it every morning now while I have my morning coffee and news. Definitely a must in the winter. I seem to have more energy.
Arrived in perfect condition and began using the next morning for 20 minutes to start. Now after a week of daily use I notice a more elevated mood/happiness, more energy, better sleep, and even bowel movement improvements. I’d say it’s worth a try if you are feeling the effects of SAD. There was a touch of eye strain the first 3 days and one day I used it twice for about 15 minutes each and I felt a little hyper active, so be cautious and let your body get used to it.
