Lumiram HappyMood™ Pro Light Therapy Lamp

$69.95

Sunlight is an essential ingredient in life, but many of us don't get the amount of bright, health-stimulating light we need - especially during the darker months. As the days get shorter leading up to winter, we get less time under the bright sun which is necessary to keep our circadian cycles and health in balance.

Much more portable than our flagship light therapy unit, the Aurora™ light therapy system, you won’t have to think twice about getting your daily dose of bright therapeutic light with this practical light pad! You'll be able to bring this one with you everywhere!

⚡️ increase energy and alertness

🌓 reset circadian rhythm and restore sleeping patterns

😊 improve mood

5 level adjustable brightness up to 10,000 lux

  • 600 lux
  • 4200 lux
  • 6500 lux
  • 9500 lux
  • 10,000 lux

You know that feeling when lights are turned on after a period of darkness? Not so pleasant. That's why adjustable light intensity is so important -- so you can gradually build up bright light exposure over your session. The HappyMood Mini Pad Pro allows you to do just that: with 5 levels, you can gradually - and comfortably - increase brightness.  

3 Color Temperatures (3000K-6500K)

When it comes to light therapy for SAD, we recommend using natural or cool white color temperatures. However, sometimes it's nice to fill in some ambient light with warm white.

Adjustable timer up to one hour in 10-minute increments

Set it and forget it. Turn your HappyMood on, select your session length (we suggest starting with 10-15 minutes), and get on with your morning routine! 

Plugin and use for up to one hour a day to start feeling the energizing and balancing effects of bright light therapy anywhere you go!

You don't necessarily need to be suffering from SAD to use light therapy - anyone can use light therapy as an addition to their daily morning ritual! It's an effective way to get a boost of energy and alertness to get the day going.

Benefits of Light Therapy

⚡️ Increased energy and alertness

🌓 Reset circadian rhythm and restored sleeping patterns 

😊 Improved mood

✨ Better sleep  

How to Use

Light therapy is best used in the morning. While eating breakfast, getting ready, or sitting at your desk, place the light pad about 24 inches away from you, and to your side. The goal is for light to reach your eyes, without looking directly at the pad - it’s quite bright! Let it reach your open eyes peripherally. It's key that your eyes remain open for the duration of your session for light therapy to take proper effect.

If you wear blue light filtering glasses for screen/computer usage, we recommend taking them off during your light session for maximum benefit.

Try for 10 minutes at first to see how you respond; you should begin to feel a sense of alertness. If you start feeling jittery, that’s an indication to place the pad a little further away and/or to use it for less time. You’ll learn what your body needs over time!

What is Bright Light Therapy?

In short, bright light therapy is the use of specialized light therapy devices emitting very bright white visible light to help eradicate SAD (winter blues) or to help set your circadian rhythm.

Bright light therapy emits a powerful (and bright!) white light in a color temperature between 5000-6500K, which is consistent with the sun's color temperature, or light appearance at noon.

These units typically emit 10,000 lux (a measure of the perceived brightness of light - very bright!) of white/blue, more energetic wavelengths, intended to trigger a circadian response in our bodies. We need bright white light that contains those blue light wavelengths to wake up and let our body/brain “set the clock" for a new day!

Bright Light Therapy

How it works

Without enough of the bright white light exposure needed to stimulate the hypothalamus, a part of the brain linked to the body's internal clock controlling the sleep-wake schedule (among many other things), the body may increase its production of the sleep hormone melatonin while decreasing the production of serotonin, the feel-good brain chemical that helps regulate mood. Light therapy lamps help mimic the approximate brightness and color temperature of sunlight during the day to help to reset the body's internal clock, improve energy, and uplift mood.

Our eyes detect the presence of light through specialized non-visual forming photoreceptors containing the photopigment melanopsin. Melanopsin is most reactive to shortwave blue light, which, if activated by its presence, sends off a signal to our brain's hypothalamus.

Uses

Who it's for

The most common use of light therapy is to treat SAD, a type of seasonal depression during the fall and winter caused by a lack of sunshine. But you don't need to suffer from a clinical diagnosis of SAD to enjoy the stimulating benefits of bright light therapy: think of bright white light as a vitamin to be taken each day for optimal health and wellness! 

In fact, since getting bright white light first thing every day is the most essential way to reset our daily clock and get energized for the day, you may want to consider supplementing actual morning sunlight by using a bright light therapy unit- especially on those darker, cloudier mornings!

FAQ

Does this lamp emit UV light?

None of our light therapy products emit any UV light whatsoever. Our LED light therapy pads do not have any UV wavelengths to begin with, while full spectrum fluorescence (our flagship Aurora™ box) emits a negligebale amount of UV that is all filtered out by the prismatic lightbox lens covering.

I don’t have SAD or winter blues; do I need Bright Light in my life?

While the most common use of bright light therapy has historically been for treating SAD, you don't need to suffer from a clinical diagnosis of SAD to enjoy bright light's stimulating and awakening benefits every morning! 

In fact, since getting bright white light first thing every day is the most essential way to reset our daily clock and get energized for the day, you may want to consider supplementing actual morning sunlight by using a bright light therapy unit- especially on those darker, cloudier mornings!

Can't I just use full spectrum or daylight light bulbs for SAD?

It won't hurt, but to rely on light bulbs alone will leave you wanting more. A common misconception is that a full spectrum light bulb serves as light therapy on its own. We wish that were the case, but in truth, the dose of light needed to elicit a biological response in humans is bright - so bright that you wouldn't be able to use it as a general light source. Light therapy uses specialized high lux (high brightness) full spectrum bulbs instead that are intended to provide the necessary does of bright white light.

That said, full spectrum bulbs such as Chromalux® help so much with general well-being and have many other amazing benefits (like nourishing infrared, more vibrant colors, and easier readbility) over standard, general-use light bulbs. Definitely use them in conjunction with your light therapy sessions for the greatest effect!  

How should I use my light therapy lamp?

Use your light therapy device in the morning

Light therapy is most effective when used in the morning. (You don't want a bright dose of blue light keeping you wired through the evening)! 

Keep it on the kitchen counter or on your desk at work in the morning.

Place up to 2 feet away from you, to your side

Your light therapy manufacturer can tell you exactly how close you should be to your device to get benefits, but a general guideline is about 2 feet. 

Let the light shine into open eyes, but don't look at it directly!

The most important thing is for light to reach your open eyes. If you work using blue light filtering glasses, you'll want to take those off while using light therapy for the most effective dose. 

Try for 20 minutes at first to see how you respond; you should begin to feel a sense of alertness. If you start feeling jittery, that's an indication to place your unit a little further away or use it for less time. You'll soon learn how your body best responds!

Is EMF a concern?

No; light therapy is only used for short stints of time each day up to 30 minutes max and shouldn't have any effect. We place more concern on the other light bulbs that are in use all day and night! That said, always choose fluorescent-based models like the Aurora™ over LED if EMF is a top concern.

Great Product!

It really helps brighten up the living room in the morning especially here in the Pacific Northwestern part of the United States! I really love it.

This make us so happy!

This purchase was made in hope. And we were rewarded beyond expectation. We probably use this more than you "should" - but to us it's the sun in a very rainy winter! Anytime someone it tired or glum, we turn it on, and we wake up. It's like a teddy bear - we do not want to let go, it gives us something akin to comfort ... it gives us light and nurturing. Thank you!
