SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and milder Winter Blues affects millions of people and is caused by a lack of bright light. Research has shown that using a special bright light, significantly improves the symptoms of SAD in 85% of diagnosed cases. Sunlight is a natural mood-booster, influencing hormone levels (e.g. melatonin and cortisol) and making us feel more awake and positive. However, as our working lives become more and more demanding it's not always possible to benefit from a natural light source so, If you're indoors, the Lumie Brightspark Lightbox provides an ideal bright light session and is proven to put you in a better mood, boost alertness and help you to feel more awake, so it's a great way of improving your working and domestic enviroment. Using the the Lumie Brightspark Lightbox each day will provide the extra bright light your body needs to alleviate the Winter Blues and SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), helping restore your natural energy and enthusiasm.

I replaced my Philips Sad Lamp which had a variable power facility and was a much larger lamp with the Lumie. The Lumie was considerably cheaper and also more readily available (Boots no longer stock the Philips) but I found that the lumie lamp requires longer exposure to get the same result. It is slightly more portable,but it would definitely benefit from a carry bag or strap as I have damaged the difuser carrying it to and from work.It is a decent cheaper lamp if you can't afford a bigger version, but it if you are as badly affected by SAD as I am and you take light therapy really seriously, then you are better off spending more on a large light box and putting aside an hour each day for your treatment at home. The Lumie box is not robust enough to stand up to regular travel.
