Product Description

Light Visors: Effective Portable Light Therapy If you hate and dread the short, dark days of winter--if winter's annual gloom saps you of your usual vitality--if you feel light deprived--our sun visor can probably help. The life on our planet is dependent on the sun. Sunlight is our natural cue for wakefulness and sleepiness. Unfortunately, our modern lives don't always allow us to live in perfect harmony with the rising and setting of the sun. Most of us spend almost all of our time indoors. When we do get to relax, it is often in the evenings or only on weekends. The result of all of this is that we spend very little of our time outside, enjoying fresh air and sunny weather. Light deprivation can occur at any time of year, but it is most common during the winter. With fewer hours of daylight, many people go to work in darkness and return home in darkness, rarely ever being exposed to natural daylight. The latest in light visor convenience! The ultra-bright (two settings--8,000 and 12,000 lux) Feel Bright Light (FBL) attaches to the visor it comes with or your own visor or hat. Conveniently select your light intensity setting at the push of a button and move about freely while getting your dose of bright light for the day. The FBL uses long lasting blue-green LED bulbs which produce no UV. The FBL shuts off automatically after 30 minutes and the lithium polymer battery can be used for up to 3 treatments before it requires recharging. Charger should last for 8,000 recharges. Lifetime warranty for FBL and charger. Other pieces (case, velcro)- replacement pieces can be individually purchased. Purchase includes: FBL, charger, carrying case, visor, Dual Lock attachment for the hat of your choice (or the included visor), and instructions. Also used for helping to deal with "Jet Lag"

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW what a difference., June 8, 2006

This is the best light therapy device on the market.

I scoured the internet for any research on light therapy. Though more studies need to be done, some basic principles emerged. To have effective light therapy, you need 10.000 lux for 30 minutes, and it should start within 30 minutes of waking.

Light boxes work, but you have to sit directly in front of the box for 30 minutes. Who is going to do that every morning?

I found this device on the internet and after reading up on it, it looked like the only serious light visor out there. It was expensive, but they did have the 30 day return policy and a warranty so I figured what the heck.

It works. It's easy to use, I am much more awake, I sleep like a log, I feel a lot better. This is my opinion, and the opinion of my wife, who noticed a big difference. She really notices how I sleep without tossing and turning.

Some comments about using this visor:
When you put it on, you need to have the house lights on or you will not be able to see to walk around. Watching TV and using the computer are can easily be done with the visor on.

You can use it while exercising in the morning. You can attach the device to any visor you want, if the visor gets all sweaty and gross.

My opinion: if you even suspect you might benefit from light therapy, this is the device to get. Get it and try it, you will know if it is going to help you within a week, and you have 30 days to return it. I ordered mine directly for the maker at feelbrightlight.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best SAD Therapy Product, December 16, 2006

By 

Steven Powers (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Feel Bright Light Visor (Health and Beauty)

In my opinion and personal experience, this visor is the best SAD therapy available. I have struggled with SAD for well over 20 years and have had a light box for 12 years and have even tried some medications. But I have never experienced the results I have had with this visor. In three or four days I was already feeling the benefits. This has been the best fall season I can remember and I am actually looking forward to winter. The money for the visor is the best money I have spent in a long time. If you struggle with SAD, purchase one for yourself and your loved ones. You won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective, but somewhat frustrating to use., December 16, 2009

This review is from: Feel Bright Light Visor (Health and Beauty)

I think this works as far as seasonal affective disorder, although the results seem subtle and may just be a placebo effect. Ask me again later in the winter :-). There are a few problems: the biggest issue is the price. I have several bicycle lights that have approximately the same components, including being programmable, and they cost approximately $30.00-$40.00. What you have here are two led lights, a cap, and a wall charger-not really worth the price, not even close. I think they are preying on peoples' unhappiness. Also, the cap is very forward-heavy; you can't just walk around your house and do things without it slipping in front of your eyes and down your face. Also, as other people have mentioned it's very bright, which is probably good for the SAD effect, but that requires careful adjustment on your head, and not something that keeps slipping forward.
