Seasonal Affective Disorder is a recognised and well documented type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. With SAD, symptoms start in the autumn and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), medications and psychotherapy.

This is where this light comes in.

This unit does not resemble a table light or other domestic light but takes the form of a 240 x 150 x 16.5 mm full spectrum light panel with below it a row of easy to use soft-touch control buttons

The idea is that you sit in front of the lamp for set periods with the lamp set to either 6000k simulated daylight or the more mood affecting warm 2300k light which the unit can also emit. The light can be switched from Daylight to Warm White at 4 brightness levels and there is a built-in 4 stage timer to control the operating time. The unit has an adjustable kickstand built into the rear of the lamp which folds away when not in use. The soft-touch control buttons are well sized and easy enough to use, although it is a pity the buttons are not backlit. The large, well written and easy to read User Guide advises on the optimum distance to sit from the lamp and for operating times needed for most effective use.

The unit is mains powered and comes with a UK power supply with a detachable cord somewhat shorter than I would have liked. It is a pity there is no built-in battery or remote control to enhance ease of use, but no matter, all the key features needed are found here and this unit is significantly less expansive than some others I have tried.

If you find yourself depressed and down at heel during the winter months maybe this £31.99 lamp is just what you need.
