So How Does the Verilux HappyLight Lumi Work

---

The COVID-19 vaccine is already here, but it would take time before everybody actually gets it. 

Besides, not everybody is actually willing to have the vaccine. 

Having said that

There are still some people who are afraid to go out for fear that they might contract the virus. 

Most of the people afraid to go out are those who have underlying conditions. 

Isolation is lonely

Despite the internet and the television, not everybody will be satisfied just staying at home. 

Self-quarantining can be lonely and it can lead to depression. 

The worse part 

It’s winter!

It’s the time when people experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD). 

For those who don’t know

SAD is a type of depression that people usually experience during winter. 

This is due to the lack of sunlight. 

During winter

Daylight is shorter, which means that you don’t get that much sun. 

It’s also very cold so most people stay indoors to keep themselves warm. 

Now, this means

You will have less serotonin, which is known as the happy chemical. 

Serotonin is significantly higher during the summer and lower during winter. 

What is it exactly?

It is the hormone that stabilizes one’s mood. 

This is also a hormone responsible for the production of melatonin, which regulates a person’s sleep-wake cycle. 

Cause and effect

A person with regular sleeping habits has a lower tendency of experiencing SAD or getting depressed in general. 

In other words

We need sunlight. 

But with the need to continue quarantining coupled with the winter season, most people might not get the recommended sunlight. 

So, what are you going to do?

Enter the Verilux HappyLight Lumi, which is a light therapy lamp. 

It can provide the necessary “sunlight” even when you are indoors.

Even better!

You can enjoy your own indoor light with 10,000 lux intensity without having to contend with ultraviolet. 

The Lumi lamp is UV-free.

How does it work?

You just plug the power cord and touch the power button.

Once you turn it on, you will immediately be hit with a bright light. 

Next

When you press the button again, you will be adjusting the brightness.

---

The Good

---

Now, speaking of brightness, there are three levels of brightness that you can choose from. 

That’s great because different situations call for various brightness. 

You see

The HappyLight Lumi is versatile. 

You can take it with you anywhere. 

Look

When it’s early in the morning and you just woke up. It’s still dark outside and so is your room, then you can use the brightest setting. 

Morning is the best time to use it, just after you wake up. 

Why?

Because this lamp will give you energy to get you through the day. 

If you are in the office and there are enough lights anyway, then you can just use the lowest brightness setting. 

Yes! You can absolutely take it to the office

That’s how versatile it is!

Don’t worry about the design. It’s so sleek and sophisticated. 

It could honestly be mistaken as just a home decor.

Although

You usually put it on your desk since it’s where you will have your light therapy. 

Check this out:

The light is really comfortable. That’s brought to you by these trademarked technologies:

• Flicker Elimination Technology
• Optix Glare

Basically

You get the brightness of the sun without hurting your eyes. 

There will be no glare and definitely no flicker. 

The best part is that you will actually experience an improvement in your mood. 

As Verilux loves to say:

Plug it in and get happy!

It is as simple as that. 

As mentioned earlier

This is a versatile lamp that you can use anywhere–your bedroom, office and anywhere else you need it. 

The lamp is very slim at just an inch in terms of thickness. It is also quite light. 

That means

You can just easily put it in your purse. 

It’s not a hassle at all. 

What I’m trying to say is

You can take it with you anywhere and at any given time. 

If you feel like getting the sunlight you need when you are away from home, then you should. 

You know what else?

It comes with a stand that’s detachable. 

You can use it if you want to so that you can adjust the angle. You should be comfortable when you are getting your light therapy. 

Know this

In just a few days of using this lamp for light therapy, you will feel the difference in your mood and in your energy. 

Say goodbye to SAD and the possibility of ever having it.

The Bad

---

There aren’t a lot of bad things to say about this amazing lamp.

But if we really come up with something, it should be the wire. 

Don’t you just wish there was no cord to deal with?

That’s exactly how I feel!

Although, to be fair, there aren’t a lot of therapy lamps that don’t have a power cord. 

But you have to understand

The HappyLight Lumi is already very convenient. 

You can already take it with you wherever you want. However, the usage is going to be a problem because you need to look for an outlet for it. 

Honestly though

The cord is not really a deal-breaker. 

Oh, there’s also this

The brightness of the light could be too much the first time you turn it on. 

It’s too bright and you might be surprised especially when you do it early in the morning when you haven’t fully woken up yet. 

It could really take you by surprise. 

---

The Beautiful

---

The Verilux HappyLight Lumi light therapy lamp is named perfectly and appropriately. It works so well. You just spend a few days enjoying the 10,000 lux intensity and you will really feel the difference in your mood. 

In other words, this HappyLight is definitely a happy light.  

---

And Does It Work?

---

It works and it works really well! This is why we have rated this light quite highly. 

As we have repeated a couple of times, you just need to expose yourself to this lamp in a few days and you’ll feel the difference. 

You’ll feel better

Your mood is just lighter and you will realize that you have a lot of energy to spend. 

This lamp is definitely what the season needs. 

For one

We are still in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic. 

Yes, there is already a vaccine but we don’t know when the majority of the population will be vaccinated. 

There should be a majority of people being vaccinated to enjoy herd immunity. 

To top it off

It’s winter!

This is really the season when people are more sluggish and some are unfortunate enough to experience SAD. 

So, what do you need?

The Verilux HappyLight Lumi lamp! 

This is a really effective lamp for light therapy. That’s not always the case, you know.

Plus

An icing on the cake: It looks really beautiful.

The design is just simple but it’s really sophisticated.
