The lamp is nicely designed, and the packaging is sleek - as you would expect with high end electronics. The design is well thought out, from the dimmer, to always defaulting to the dimmest setting when you turn it on, and the gradual colour change when you switch light modes. Little features I really appreciate. Battery life is good, and even though I use it for several hours daily, I only need to charge it 2-3 times a week. I don’t use the shield it comes with. It doesn’t stay on the lamp, and isn’t really needed. It’s been really easy to add the use of the lamp to my daily routine - using it as a bedside lamp, when I’m in the bath, in addition to when I am sick with a migraine. Having blackout curtains help make it the sole source of light, though I find it helps even if there is other light sources in the room. Now here’s the info you are probably looking for: does it “work”. Using it on a normal day, it makes me calmer. I have it next to my computer monitor when I’m working (not sole source of light), and was surprised at first that it would make a noticeable difference. I use it as much as I can in the evenings - as a reading lamp, bath time, or just a background light. When I’m sick with a migraine, I am able to tolerate this light, and red lights only. Since using this light, there has been 20% reduction in symptoms such as nausea, pain. Allowing me to sleep through more of the migraine than usual. I turn it off if/when I’m able to sleep. I hope it will make a bigger impact as I continue to use it. I have only had it for a couple weeks, and 2 migraine attacks so far. Time will tell if it will help more. I think ultimately it will vary from person to person. If the cost is not a factor for you, go for it. How many other things have we tried that cost more and made us sicker with all sorts of side effects? At the very least you’ll have a cool lamp. But hopefully it will help you too!
