Other than electrical safety standards, Manufacturers are not subject to any safety restrictions regarding the type of light or the design of the delivery mechanism to use.Humankind evolved under the outdoor day-night cycle, and it is essential to maintaining normal, healthy physiology. Exposure to sunrise is key to synchronizing our internal body cycles to the external world (so we sleep when its dark and are alert during the day). Modern industrial society began to tamper with this system, though. The loss of daylight – in dark apartments, in the workplace, on shift work, etc. – creates a state of daylight deprivation, making us vulnerable to depressed mood, sleep problems, fatigue, ability to concentrate, and more. Nature, too, posed a new problem when humans began to migrate north, where winter nights are long and dark. The importance of light – beyond vision – has been known in all cultures for millennia.

5 Stars It Works

I took advantage of the Amazon Prime 30 day trial and received free 2-day shipping.
5 Stars Brightens up your day!
You don’t need to have SAD issues to love this lamp. Albeit a bit overpriced, it’s something worth having. Tired to waking up to cloudy dark mornings, I got this lamp and a remote, so that I can turn it one without leaving the bed. This light is very bright, pretty well mimics the morning sunlight (at 4200k) rather than being too yellow (2700k) or white (5100k) or blue (6000k), and really gets your day started.
I’d highly recommend it to anyone who simply doesn’t happen to be living in a always-sunny state and have a bed next to a east facing window.
