Product Reviews of NatureBright SunTouch Plus Light and Ion Therapy Lamp
Product Review: A MUST BUY!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have suffered with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) for about 20 years and have heard about light box therapy for quite awhile, but was always skeptical. This year has been the worst winter for a lot of us, so I desperately needed to try something else (anti-depressants weren't working). I read tons of reviews on all the light boxes offered on Amazon and this seemed to be the cheapest and highest rated. They say it can take up to two weeks to see results and some people were experiencing results in just 4 days. I saw a HUGE difference in just a few days, and it's only gotten better! I'm no longer taking any anti-depressants and am the happiest I've ever been! Everyone around me has seen an improvement in my mood. I sit in front of the box for 30 minutes in the morning while getting ready (you don't have to look directly at it); it's become part of my daily routine. I STRONGLY recommend this product!!! People were saying the ion was too much for them, so I never have turned it on. This product comes with a guide that tells you when and how long to sit in front of the light, which is dependent on what you are accomplishing: SAD, sleep disorders, etc. Light therapy was recently on the news and is proven to not only help with those two disorders, but improve overall health.Product Review: A great light box!

This is a great lightbox that is small enough to move easily to wherever I need to be. I really like the timer feature.Product Review: A little patch of sunshine in the gray winter
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used this for about 2 weeks now. I'm not grinning like a Cheshire cat or dancing with unicorns, but I do feel more energetic and alert in the morning. I am not a morning person, and given that it is dark until about 10 AM in the upper Midwest, it really takes a lot to get me going in the winter.
The instructions state to sit about 12-18 inches from the unit; I don't think I could sit as close as 12 inches away without getting the sensation of my retinae sizzling. The smell from the unit, even with the ionizer off, is still off-putting, and I do sometimes get a little dizzy afterward - but I think that's more due to the plastic smell than the light.
I haven't tried the ion function because I am afraid that the odors will be overwhelming, but I'm going to give the light therapy another week or two and if I don't start seeing unicorns then I will give the ions a try.
Product Review: A lotta light for a little $$
Summary: 4 Stars
I began using this light on a daily basis in Jan. 2008. I really like how I feel as a result of sitting in front of it - more energy, calmer, just more like the "summer" version of myself. I'd rebuy it in a heartbeat, but I would advise again using the "ion" feature. It just made me feel like I had to sneeze! And I can't really see a benefit to that.Product Review: A miracle!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot believe how wonderful this product is. If I knew, I would have bought it years ago! I have suffered from SAD for years, since college, getting progressively worse each year. Last winter was the longest, grayest and coldest in memory in the Chicagoland area. We followed with a cool gray summer and long, cool gray fall. I was at my wits end. Amazon had a price on lamps that was reasonable compared to any lamps sold in years past. In just a few short days I feel amazing! I use the lamp for 30 minutes in the morning while checking emails, and again for 10 minutes in the late afternoon. It is dark here around 4:30pm with the worst yet to come. It has been gray 9 out of 10 days on average. I usually NEED a nap around 3pm and the length was increasing from 30 minutes to over an hour. I have not taken or felt the need to take a nap since using the lamp. Also, I would usually be crashing by 8pm, struggling to keep my eyes open until 10:30, not any longer. I wake up refreshed at 4:30am-my usual summer time-I am a morning person ; ) I have had more energy and enthusiasm and feel much more like myself. I am getting a lamp for my mother and recommending it to anyone who asks about my improved mood and energy level. I can't say enough positive things about this product and I never write reviews. I can only say try this lamp. Oh...I do not mind the negative ion therapy. It doesn't smell bad, as others wrote, kind of like the smell after a good rain. The unit is the perfect size to sit on a desk and seems quite sturdy. I terrific value for my mental well being!!!
