]]>SAD lamps can reduce symptoms by replicating the natural daylight that we often struggle to get enough of during the winter months. It’s typically recommended to use SAD lamps for about 30 minutes per day to maximize benefits, though exact times may vary depending on the lamp you choose and your doctor’s recommendations.
When choosing a SAD lamp, look for a model that emits at least 10,000 lux, the level of light intensity recommended for therapeutic effects. We also recommend going with a model that includes a UV filter, as UV light can damage the eyes. Below are some models we’ve tried and liked.
This lamp provides the recommended 10,000 lux while blocking 99.3% of UV light. The lamp face is a bit large at 13×16 inches, though the height and angle are adjustable.
If convenience and aesthetics are a priority for you, we recommend this cordless option. It offers the same 10,000 lux as other Verilux lamps, is UV-free, and even includes a built-in timer.
