Out in the Dark, Home in the Dark

You leave before it's light and get back after it's gone. In between you're under office bulbs. From October to March you can go weeks without properly seeing daylight — and it shows.
Mornings that feel like the middle of the night
Flat by three, and it isn't the workload
Waking up harder than it should be

Indoors Is Darker Than It Feels

Your eyes adjust, so you never notice. A well-lit room is around 500 lux. Step outside on a grey January morning and it's ten times brighter than that. Spend the winter indoors and you're getting a fraction of the light your body is built for.
A bright indoor room — around 500 lux
Outside on an overcast day — 5,000 lux or more
This lamp — 10,000 lux
I leave at seven and get back at six, so from November I basically don't see daylight. Twenty minutes with this while I have my coffee has made January a lot less grim.
Hannah P
Bought it half expecting to send it back within the month. Three weeks in and it's not going anywhere.
Jennifer W
My office is a north-facing box room and by 2pm it feels like the middle of the night in there. This sits next to the monitor and the whole room feels different.
Andrew F
Had one off Amazon before that claimed 10,000 lux. This is a completely different thing — you can actually see the difference when you turn it on.
Ethan H
What sold me was not having to sit and stare at it. It's on the kitchen table while I eat breakfast and that's the whole routine.
Kyle P
Second winter with it. It comes out of the cupboard in October now, same as putting the heating on.

Morning light does something evening light can't

Your body takes its cue from the first bright light it sees.

That first signal sets the clock for the whole day — when you're sharp, when you flag, when you're ready to sleep. In summer you get it on the walk to the car. In January there's nothing there to get.

01

The first bright light of the day is the one that counts

02

Twenty minutes within an hour of waking

03

The rest of the day takes its timing from it

It Fits the Morning You Already Have

Common Questions

Everything worth knowing before you start.
  • Closer is brighter. At 10cm you're getting the full 10,000 lux. Sit further back and it's gentler, so you'd use it for longer — around 20 minutes at 10cm, or 45 minutes to an hour at arm's length. Most people find somewhere between the two.

  • Give it two weeks of consistent morning use before you judge it. Some people notice something in the first few days, others take longer, and using it once or twice won't tell you much either way.

  • Yes — it's UV free, and you're not meant to stare directly into it. Position it off to the side so the light reaches your eyes without you looking at it. If you have an existing eye condition, check with your optician first.

  • Yes, no adjustment needed. Just don't wear sunglasses or tinted lenses while you're using it.

  • If you're taking medication that increases light sensitivity — some antibiotics, some antidepressants, St John's Wort — or you're being treated for a mood or eye condition, have a quick word with your doctor before starting. For most people there's nothing to check.

  • Most people use it from October through to March and put it away in spring. Some keep it on the desk year-round if they work indoors or don't get much natural light.

  • You've got 30 nights. Use it properly for a couple of weeks and if it isn't doing anything for you, send it back.

I bought this lamp to help with my mood and sleep cycle since I live in a basement with no windows. I’ve been turning it on for a short bit after I wake up and it’s helped a lot. The different colour and brightness settings are super nice, I switch between them depending on the time of day and what I’m feeling.

Jules

One of the coolest things I've ever bought! Way more vibrant in person it's honestly beautiful!!! Excited to see how it can help with my SADD :) Just get it!!!!!

Truly boosts my mood throughout the day

S

I use this everyday I actually put it in my restroom and it is the best! Highly recommend! Its bright and its good quality. Theres a timer on it which is great! Im excited ro use it this winter! The size is a bit smaller but the brightness makes up for it. Its easy to move into other rooms. Over all it looks good where ever it goes.

N
Noah

20 mins with breakfast and done.

E
Elena

I feel much more inclined to actually get moving when the room is bright in the morning.

I
Isla

I normally hate bright lights first thing, but this feels completely different from switching on the ceiling light. It sits off to the side of my laptop and I barely think about it once it's on. The cool setting is great on dark mornings and the natural one feels better once I am properly awake. I appreciate that there is no giant logo across the front. I use it far more consistently than I expected.

T
Tom

This has become part of my morning coffee routine. I switch it on as soon as I get downstairs, make coffee, and let the timer handle the rest. Very pleased with it.

P
Peter

The 20 minute timer is perfect.

T
Tom

The 20 minute setting means I never have to remember to switch it off.

K
Kate

Perfect beside my laptop.

M
Mike

I switch it on as soon as I get downstairs, make coffee, and let the timer handle the rest.

A
Anna

I normally have it on while reading the news and having breakfast.

S
Simon

It sits off to the side of my laptop and I barely think about it once it's on. It takes up a bit more desk space than I expected.

F
Freya

Love this on dark mornings.

S
Sara

love that you can just set 20 mins and forget about it

S
Sara

It definitely makes the room brighter in the morning, but I find full power too intense at close range and usually have to dim it quite a lot.

S
Sofia

the natural white setting is the one. bright but not that horrible office lighting

R
Ruby

the natural white setting is the one. bright but not that horrible office lighting Mine stays on the kitchen table.

C
Chris

The shape is much nicer in person than I expected and the light is very even. It is easy to work it into a normal morning because you do not need to stop what you are doing. The light spreads nicely rather than feeling like one harsh beam. Really good purchase for the darker months.

K
Katie

I leave this on the kitchen table and use it while I have breakfast. I switch it on as soon as I get downstairs, make coffee, and let the timer handle the rest. There is a huge range of brightness, which matters because full power is genuinely bright. Dark mornings feel a lot less bleak with this on beside me. Simple, useful and easy to keep using.

L
Lewis

love that you can just set 20 mins and forget about it I tend to use the 20 minute timer.

V
Victoria

Natural light mode is lovely.

T
Thomas

i mainly wanted the light but the little nature sounds are actually nice in the morning

M
Mia

Great little morning ritual.

C
Chris

The thing I like most is that it feels like a normal part of the room rather than a piece of equipment. I switch it on as soon as I get downstairs, make coffee, and let the timer handle the rest. The natural colour temperature is convincing and does not have that blue office-light feel. It is about dinner-plate size, so it gives off plenty of light without taking over the desk. It gives me a much better start on mornings when it still feels like night outside. I mostly use it just as a light, but the soundscapes are better than I expected. I would happily recommend it.

A
Andrew

I normally hate bright lights first thing, but this feels completely different from switching on the ceiling light. I use the 20 or 30 minute timer depending on how dark the morning feels. Cool white feels fresh first thing, natural is my everyday setting, and warm is softer if I use it later. It makes those grey winter starts feel less grim. The built-in sounds make the morning feel a bit calmer without needing another speaker.

N
Neil

Most mornings I use the natural white setting for around 20 minutes.

A
Anna

Makes gloomy mornings easier.

S
Sara

The warm setting is surprisingly useful.

A
Amy

I work from home and wanted something brighter than the lamp on my desk. I put it on for 20 minutes while I drink coffee and check emails. Dark mornings feel a lot less bleak with this on beside me. It has earned a permanent place on my desk.

M
Maya

Glad I bought this before winter.

L
Louise

It makes those grey winter starts feel less grim. Exactly the kind of morning light I wanted.
