Customer Reviews of NatureBright Inspiration 3 in 1 LED Light Therapy Lamp
Customer Review: A nice way to wake up in the morning, but bogus as a light therapy device.
Summary: 2 Stars
This light is pretty useless for light therapy. The standard for light therapy is 10,000 lux. This is a measure of brightness that varies as you get further from the light. If you look directly into this light right up close then you might get 10,000 lux, but who has an hour a day to put their face right up to such a small light??! If you want light therapy you're much better off with something like an apollo britelite. The britelite IV I have is about 2 feet by 3 feet, and you can set it on a table and do actual work in front of it.
That being said, the light is pretty nice for waking you up in the morning, but only if you have a place to put it over your bet so that you can shine it down on your face. A regular alarm clock is really jarring in the morning, and I'm liable to just turn a regular alarm off and go back to sleep. The little nature-bright wakes me up gradually and I don't oversleep any more, even when I have to get up after 3 or 4 hour's sleep. I think I also feel more alert in the morning when my brain has at least 15 minutes to wake up gradually as the light turns on.
The other beef I have with this light is that they appear to put excess voltage on the LED's, so pixels started burning out a few months after I bought it. The pixels are powered in strings of three, so three will go out at once when only one goes bad. After about three years it hasn't gotten to the point that I'm ready to find some LED's to replace the bad ones, though. But about 30% of them aren't lit any more.
The other small beef is that they claim that the alarm sounds like a chirping bird. This is bogus, it sounds like a pizo-electric speaker and is slightly annoying. But I really almost never get to the point of hearing the alarm sound, because the light wakes me up with light before that point.
Description of NatureBright Inspiration 3 in 1 LED Light Therapy Lamp
The Inspiration LED Light Therapy lamp ingeniously serves as a bright light therapy device, a digital alarm clock with a programmable dawn simulator, and a glare-free bedside reading lamp all-in-one. With the Inspiration, you can experience the benefits of LED bright light. Exposure to light in the early hours of the morning has been clinically proven to be mostly effective in treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (also called S.A.D.) With the Inspiration's swivel arm and pivot head features, you can easily adjust the direction of the LED light and receive your light therapy treatment as soon as you wake up. Researchers at University of Washington have concluded dawn simulation therapy has the same effectiveness as the bright light therapy for treatment of S.A.D.. Studies also have shown that the combination of bright light therapy and dawn simulation therapy can reverse symptoms of S.A.D. twice as effective as light therapy alone. The Inspiration's built-in dawn simulator provides you with light therapy before you wake up. By mimicking the gradually change of dawn light, your body gently gets ready to greet the new day. Upon awakening, you only need to receive 15-minute light therapy while you're still lying on bed. It is still dark outside when you wake up, but you're done with treatment for the day. Years of NatureBright's research and patented technology make the Inspiration ideal for people who can not spare 30 minutes for bright light therapy before work, and it is particularly suited for children with S.A.D. who find it hard to sit still at a light box. Light therapy can also help relieve jet lag, insomnia, and shift work fatigue. It is the most comfortable and effective light therapy product on the market today!Light Therapy
