5.0 out of 5 stars This lamp is what every person living in Seattle needs, March 28, 2007

By	L. Pierce (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this lamp 2 weeks ago and I have been using it every day since. It is sturdy, super bright (think Mexico on a sunny day with no sunglasses), easy to use and does the trick of reducing the blahs from lack of sun here in Seattle. I bought the lamp mainly because I have a morning job and am not a morning person (aka cannot get out of bed in the morning)

It has a hole in the back so that it can be hung on the wall. I have the lamp hanging on the wall opposite of my bed so that when my alarm clock goes off at 6am (no light outside), I turn the lamp on and even if I try, there is no way I could fall back asleep-it's that bright. Getting up every morning at 6am is becoming easier and easier every day with the help of this lamp.

The directions state to use the lamp first thing in the morning with the lamp at eye level within 12inches for 20 minutes. The directions also state that you can use the lamp at a further distance but one would have to use it for a longer period of time-which I do and I get results.

The lamp is big but it still can fit on my desk (it has a pop out metal stand on the back of the lamp) next to my computer when I work, or on my bathroom counter (which is tiny-single sink with 3 inches of counter on each side) while I get ready for work. It's extremely light.

Improved mood-yes, decreased cravings for carbs.-yes, my body thinks it's sunny all the time in Seattle-yes. It was worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Light, May 12, 2007

By	Midlander (Midland, MI) - See all my reviews

This sun lamp works very well and was easy to set up. The light is easy on the eyes and can be used for reading while you are using it for sun exposure. The company also was very helpful as when it arrived one of the bulbs had broken in shipping. I called and they shipped out two free bulbs right away. There are two stands, one built in and a seperate one which is larger which allows for different heights. All in all this is an excellent product and worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not sad about this lamp purchase!, January 20, 2007

By	E. Hart (Blaine, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been using my DL930 Day-light SAD lamp for about a month and I am extremely happy about how good I feel. I often awake before my alarm sounds, and feel ready to get up and start my day instead of repeatedly hitting the snooze button before finally forcing myself out of bed at the last possible minute. Co-workers have commented that I seem more cheerful. I feel I have more energy through-out the day and have been falling asleep more easily at night.
The lamp itself is of good quality construction for plastic, solid and stable. The stand was easy to assemble. The power cord is a good length. I like the compact, unobstrusive style (vs. some clunkers I have seen that look like they were built in someone's garage). My lamp was delivered pretty quickly even though I ordered it just before Christmas. I had been shopping around for a good price on this lamp and Amazon.com was cheapest by about forty dollars, plus there was no shipping charge. I have no regrets about purchasing this lamp.
