The Light Therapy Lamp UV Free 10000 Lux Therapy Light by Erligpowht is a compact, portable light therapy lamp designed to imitate natural sunlight indoors. It promises to help users gain an overall boost of energy by fighting a number of different sources of energy depletion, including seasonal ‘blues,’ jet lag, and exhaustion caused by shift work.
Erlighpowht Light Therapy Lamp Key Features:
This light therapy lamp by Erligpowht is lightweight and compact, featuring a sleek and modern design that will easily fit at a desk, on a kitchen countertop, or a bedside table. Powered by corded electric, the lamp can be used either with the included wall power adapter, or with a USB port on a laptop or desktop computer, or even in many modern vehicles. It features an adjustable kickstand that can be positioned at up to a ninety degree angle, allowing for some flexibility in its placement on a desk or table.
This LED lamp provides 10,000 lux, UV-free lighting in whatever space it is operated. Users can choose between three brightness levels, and can also choose between four timer functions that span from 15-60 minutes in duration. The brightness and timer duration can be easily controlled with the sleek touch controls on the front face of the lamp.
Pros:
This lamp’s compact and lightweight design helps it to fit in any working space; while its choices of brightness levels give users the flexibility to choose the intensity of the light that will provide them with the promised benefits of light therapy. The inclusion of the four timer functions is a feature not available in many other light therapy lamps, and may help to avoid any unnecessary energy consumption that could come from forgetting to turn off the lamp or leaving it on overnight.
For customers who wish to use this product in their office space, the flexibility to plug the lamp into a wall socket or a USB port using the included five-foot electric cord can make the use of this lamp considerably easier than other, non-USB lamps. Additionally, the cord used to plug directly into the lamp is a common USB-C cord, easily available as a replacement cord that could help users avoid possible future frustrations of trying to replace a specialized cord available only for a particular product.
Cons:
The light for this product comes from LED bulbs, which many users find overwhelmingly bright considering that light therapy is most effective when the user sits or stands in close proximity to the lamp. For some users who are sensitive to light – especially LED lights – this brightness may negate the intended therapeutic properties of the lamp.
While the product does offer multiple levels of brightness, it does not offer different temperatures of light. The light produced by this lamp is a bright white light, with no options for a cool or warm alternative. Users who favor cool or warm light tones may find this to be a disadvantage of this particular lamp.
Additionally, while the product does feature an adjustable kickstand that allows for repositioning of the light, this stand only opens to a ninety degree angle. It does not allow for any further swivel motions to allow for a high degree of flexibility in where the lamp is placed. It does not include any other mounting options such as a wall-mount feature.
Erligpowht Light Therapy Lamp Overall Review: 4.5/5
For the comparatively low price of $25.99, the Light Therapy Lamp UV Free 10000 Lux Therapy Light is incredibly cost effective option for the light therapy benefits it provides. For users looking for an easy-to-use, sleek, compact lamp for their office space or bedside table this is an easy choice. The only hesitation may come for users who are looking for a product with a high degree of flexibility, in which case this product may be less effective. It’s limited range of motion for repositioning, lack of a wall mount, and its dependence on a corded electrical supply limit the possible locations and positions in which this lamp could be placed. Personally, however, this lack of flexibility is not a deterrent and I would eagerly use this product in my office, and would make ample use of the USB port plugin options as I work at my office computer.
