Three things to consider before buying light therapy lamps
The strength of the light therapy lamps is measured in lux. 10,000 lux is a good level for most people, but it can be nice to have the opportunity to start with a weaker light and then advance as you get used to it. On some models, you can adjust the intensity of the light, which is a great advantage. Some lamps also have an adjustable colour temperature, so you can choose one you like.
It is a good idea to choose a light therapy lamp with LED lamps, which is an energy-saving choice with a long service life.
It is important to choose a light therapy lamp that is certified, as indicated by a CE marking in the specifications. Then you know that it is both safe for medical use and effective to use.

Also consider how big a lamp you want. A small and lightweight lamp with collapsible legs can be taken to the office, while a larger one can stand permanently in one spot at home. Some lights come with a stand, so you can adjust the angle and height.
There are also light therapy goggles. You put them on when you wake up, just like a normal pair of glasses, and you can wear them while walking around your home and getting ready for the day. These are great for those of you who don't have much time and like to kill two birds with one stone.
