But, we also have to consider what it can’t do. For example, there is no way of adjusting the brightness or tone of the light beyond the three settings.

The first is therapy mode, where the bright light and 10,000lux help to decrease SAD and other related symptoms first thing in the morning. Then there is the Active mode, with a more gentle light at 4300 on the Kelvin scale and 7000lux. This is design to offer a natural-looking light to mimic daylight as you start on your day. It should help with concentration and productivity. The Beurer TL45 Perfect Day Daylight Therapy Lamp has some nice modes and a quality light source for various needs. Therefore, the 3000 Kelvin sunset light may not be as rich in tone as you would normally like and there is no way to change that.The potential impact of this SAD lamp will depend on your condition and reason for getting a light. If you are focused on light therapy first thing in the morning, this device might not be adaptable enough for you to plan a session and get just the right tone or intensity. When compared with certain models in the range, this looks like the more effective solution. There is a much better surface area than the similar tablet-shaped Beurer TL30 and more light levels than the TL41. The quality of the light itself and the simple operation will work for those new to SAD devices that don’t want anything too complex. If this sounds right for your current situation, give the Beurer SAD Lamp a try.

But, if you just want to try an artificial natural light in your home through the winter, there is a good chance you will like this product.The best thing about this light is that there are three designated modes to help users stay energised and in good spirits throughout the day. There is also no timer for that therapy light, which is so common in other therapy devices. Normally you set the desired time within which you get your morning dose of light. That isn’t the case here unless you set a timer on your phone.
