Light Therapy Lamp, SMY Blue Light Energy Lamp and Adjustable LED Blue Light, Tablet One Touch with Timer, 100% UV Free

Very high quality bright blue light. I believe this matches the 200 Blue light lux output seen in many experiments. Things that weren't immediately obvious to me: 1. It has an extremely small form factor. The kickstand collapses conveniently into the back, giving this a shape that's basically like a thick tablet. This makes it very easy to pack in, say, a laptop bag or similar. Some light therapy devices are bulky and awkardly shaped, not this one. 2. The USB power port make it very easy to use on the go. You can just connect it to your laptop or a portable battery and power it, no need for some hulking power cord and outlet. The device says it's rated for 1 amp, which basically all modern chargers and ports can accommodate. 3. The timer setting is optional. If you want the light to stay on as long as you want, you can. I like to use mine for several hours in the morning, so it's good that you don't have to cycle it. Not so good: 4. The "low-light" setting feels like it's about 80% the standard level. So you've got "super-bright, pretty-darn bright, and off" as your options. Doesn't bother me as I like the standard, super-bright setting, but if you want lower intensities go elsewhere. 5. As this has no mechanical switches, you aren't going to be able to set this to "on", connect this to an outlet timer and use it to turn on automatically at a specific time as part of a wake-up alarm. Which is a real disappointment. UPDATE: I purchased a second unit January 2021. The model has been updated slightly. It now uses a USB-C type connector in the back instead of a USB micro and features a small SMY logo on the top despite the same model number on the back label. Personally I don't like the SMY logo, but it's small enough in a light font that it's not too bothersome. The light intensity and other elements appear unchanged. UPDATE: July 2022- I continue to use both units with my laptop for around 6 hours a day in the early morning. They can be powered over an unpowered USB hub connected to a laptop, and even run off of a mobile power bank. The older one is slightly more dim than the newer one, but it's really only noticeable compared side to side. These do not have limitless lifespan and after several thousand hours of use would be expected to dim a bit. I don't see this impacting their usefulness for at least a few years. UPDATE: November 2022- Lights continue working well. ISSUE- The USB-C lamp appears to not be able to power off of all kinds of ports. A USB laptop charger (USB-PD) with a type C plug appears not to be able to power this. Also connecting this to a type C port on a Microsoft Edge 2 with a USB C port, either directly, through an unpowered hub or through a usb C to type A dongle does not work, but the USB microlamp can be powered with an adapter USB C to USB micro. I think the USB-C lamp then needs whatever power typically comes out of the type A ports (the fatter wider plugs). This is notable because it makes powering the USB-C lamp on the go slightly more challenging if you are not also using a device like a laptop that has a USB-A plug. Your options to power the USB-C lamp then are: >Have a laptop with a type A port and plug in the lamp directly or through a hub >Carry an ordinary USB A power adapter and plug that in where you have an outlet (easy but you may be in a spot without an outlet or limited outlets) >Hope you're in a place with powered USB-A ports (not uncommon on planes, airports and hotels) >Carry around an external USB battery pack and power the lights off of that (works, but your battery may need to be relatively large to power two of these for a long morning. I believe the devices consume substantially less than the 1A they are rated for, don't recall what it is)

I've been using mine for three years and a few months. I read the one and two star reviews, so I'm well aware of the potential problems with this product. I leave it in place on a desk and don't move it, and haven't had the problems that other people have had with theirs. I sit and read my tablet every morning for 30 to 60 minutes. It's positioned behind my tablet, so that my focus is on the tablet and this is more like having blue sky outside while reading a book; I don't know if that helps more, but I did read somewhere that there are some special blue light receptors in the bottom part of your eye, so the position I have it in may help. The only time I've unplugged it and then plugged it back in, was when we moved from one house to another, so I haven't had any problems with the USB C cord. For the people who complain that it requires a plug and isn't rechargeable, I say: read the product specs before you buy. By the way, I also have one of the Philips Dawn Simulator alarm clocks. This light won't help you if you can't get out of bed to go and sit near it; I suggest trying both. In the past, I've had the big 2 foot by 4 foot fluorescent fixtures with seven tubes in it, the old-fashioned style of light that they used to sell about thirty years ago; then transitioned to a desk model of light. This beats them both, and is much more energy efficient as well.

High quality with two light intensity settings. Can be run continuously or use one of the 3 preset timers. Easy set up and use.

Product light and easy to use. Takes a small space. 2 settings is good at night I put in on dim.

My spouse has SAD issues in the winter every year. This color of light was recommended by her doctor. The color and the brightness were great. She was noticeably more engaged and alert on days when she used it. Unfortunately, this lamp is powered over a Micro-USB plug, which became loose and sloppy almost immediately. I could disassemble it partly and solder the connector on, but these cheap micro-usb connectors are a real pain.

A Review After Four Years I bought this little device in December 2021, and now, in June 2025, it still works perfectly. I’ve never been a morning person. Even when I manage to wake up early, I often struggle with persistent brain fog that can last for several hours. Sometimes it's the entire morning if I get up too early. I decided to give this small blue light a try, thinking it couldn’t hurt. To my surprise, it worked remarkably well. I usually use it either right after getting out of bed or while I’m still lying down. After just about 10 minutes, the brain fog begins to lift, and my energy noticeably improves. It has truly made a difference in my mornings. I now enjoy studying early in the day without feeling mentally sluggish. I also turn to it whenever I feel like I need a cup of coffee. I’ve recently quit coffee because it started giving me anxiety and nausea when I drank too much. The withdrawal headaches were also quite intense. Instead, I brew a strong cup of green tea with some added lavender, which helps me maintain energy while staying calm and anxiety-free. I’m not exactly sure how long each session with this device lasts, but it shuts off automatically, so I never have to worry about overexposure. On particularly gloomy or cloudy days, when my brain fog feels especially heavy, I sometimes go for a second round.

This did not help me at all. I bought one for a friend and she stated it helps her some. So I guess all not lost

I use this first thing in the morning. It's compact and easy to set up. The timer button on the side is a little finicky, but for the most it works if I slide my finger across it. It's too soon to tell if I'm reaping any benefits from it, but it provides what is needed and I do enjoy the light and am disappointed when it turns off, so maybe that's a sign it's heading in the right direction.

毎日同じ時間にあたるのは大変だけど、変化があればオッケー

仕様通りの動作をしました。 うつに効果があるかはこれから検証します。

Works well

青色光を目覚まし代わりに使っています。 何となく、覚醒が早いような気がします。 まだ、それほど効果を実感出来ないので、引き続き続けて見たいと思います。 リモートワーク生活が続く場合は、何らかの効果があるかもしれません。 本体裏の下側が結構熱くなります。
