Product Description

Product Description

An Effective S.A.D. Treatment Helps Beat Seasonal Depression Researchers have confirmed that specific biological changes within the brain occur in response to different levels of bright light exposure, and that these biochemical changes affect hormones and neurotransmitters responsible for regulating our mood, energy, sleep and appetite. In the majority of the population, these changes are not troublesome; they simply cause minor variations in their annual rhythms. For those with SAD, though, these changes are profound enough to cause significant disruption to their lives, and create a need to beat seasonal depression. 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. PURCHASE INCLUDES: FEEL BRIGHT LIGHT CHARGER CARRYING CASE VISOR DUAL LOCK ATTACHEMENT FOR VISOR OR YOUR OWN HAT INSTRUCTIONS Does not interfere with vision, so the light Visor can be used as you walk, do housework, prepare a meal, eat, watch TV, ride an exercise bike - or travel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good controls, but material//manufacturing problems, November 22, 2008
This review is from: NEW! Northern Technologies FEEL BRIGHT LIGHT VISOR SAD LIGHT THERAPY (Health and Beauty)
I've owned three of these over the past 5 years (one replaced by manufacturer, keep 1 at home and 1 at work).

Good points: Controls for light intensity and timer. Many similar products only have one or two intensity seetings and no timer. I've found that building up from ~15 minutes of moderate intensity starting in Oct to 45 minutes of maximum intensity (~20k lumens) in Jan, then working back down for the next couple of months works best. Too much or too little light will lead to either SAD or hyperactivity.

The visor is reasonably comfortable, though bulky and hard white plastic. It has a broad, padded, soft and slightly stretchy velcro'd band; it is somewhat front-heavy, but stays in place for moderate activity. The LED's are well-positioned but not too intrusive.

Bad Points: All three devices have had corrosion or cold-solder/heat problems within two years. The electrical cord developed green corrosion, and has been replaced (RMA replacement for the first, I've done the others). After ~2-3 years, all three visors have developed problems holding the brightest setting for more than ~20 minutes; problem is most likely heat-related (the control block gets warm and some connection begins to short).

Lousy battery. Both the battery life (how long it will run on a single charge) and the battery cycle life (how many times it will recharge before the battery fails to hold a significant charge) are pretty bad -- this is an LED array, it shouldn't be drawing much power at all. Even with proper battery maintenance (break in, then fully discharge before recharging most cycles) the batteries don't seem to last.

Control brick is bulky (hangs on belt or pocket flap). Thumb-wheel controls are easy to use, but also easy to accidentally bump and change with normal movement.

Despite all these drawbacks (and clear room for improvement in manufacturing processes and materials), I still recommend it over similar visors that lack similar intensity controls (timer optional, though useful).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product, No complaints, May 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NEW! Northern Technologies FEEL BRIGHT LIGHT VISOR SAD LIGHT THERAPY (Health and Beauty)
This visor works perfectly and I have had no problems. Great supplement to those of us sun deprived peeps in the Pacific NW. Makes you night blind while it's on (cuz u have it shining in your eyes) so unless u wanna know what it's LIKE to actually be blind do not wear it in dim lighting. Although you should try once, just to appreciate your eyesight. LOL. NEVER wear while driving at dusk or dark.
