Beurer TL30UK SAD Lamp | Helps combat seasonal affective disorder | Daylight therapy lamp with 10,000 lux | Adjustable stand and travel bag | UV-free LED light therapy | Medical device

Update 09/02/22:After a couple of months use I can honestly say this thing is brilliant (no pun intended!)I've got used to the brightness of the light and & now have it in front of me on my desk all day until 4 or 5 pm. It helps keep me focused & alert, and my insomnia's clearly improved. Despite some very difficult circumstances, I feel its also helping to keep depression at bay.Original review:This was a great purchase - I had a very expensive SAD lamp about 12 years ago that was 3 or 4 times the size of this and very bulky. That one got broken last time we moved, so because my mood's been low recently and my sleep cycle's really messed up, I decided it was time to invest in a new one.I bought this particular model because it was the cheapest SAD lamp I could find from a reputable manufacturer. I was sceptical that such a tiny lamp could be any good, but I'm happy to have been proved wrong. Yes, it's tiny size means you either need to have it very close to your face or use it for longer than my old lamp to get the full effect, but because it's so dinky, it's easy to whip out and switch on anywhere there's a plug socket. The lead on the plug is over 5 ft long (about 155 cm) which has been plenty for my needs, but an extension lead could always be used if required.Since my lamp arrived 3 days ago I've placed it on the table in front of me each morning whilst eating breakfast - it's easily propped up using the little stand provided.However the best thing for me was realising I can pop it in the tablet slot on my desk whilst I'm working (see photos). Initially this obscured my laptop screen, but the box the lamp came in was just the right size to raise my laptop to the right height!The lamp does feel very bright so close to my face, and I believe working like this for too long would probably cause a headache, but it's easy to switch the lamp on and off, so I'm using it in short bursts throughout the day, which (for me at least) seems the best way to use it.Beurer's official blurb states the light therapy takes about 7 days to take effect. I've not had it that long,so I can't vouch for this lamp's longer-term effects, but over two days of regular use, I feel it's made me a little more positive and alert by day, and best of all, I fell asleep by 11:30 pm last night and stayed asleep until morning which is virtually unheard of! Having said that, I've also just switched from CBD to Valerian as a calmer/sleep aid, so how much of this can be attributed to the lamp I don't know.There seems to be plenty of scientific evidence online to back the manufacturers claims for this lamp. My gut feeling is that the lamp will have a substantial role to play in resolving seasonal low mood and sleep issues, but only as part of a wider strategy that includes eating healthily, physical exercise, practicing some kind of mindfulness, sleep hygeine, and supplementing with relevant vitamins & minerals (most Brits need D3 during winter months, plus many are deficient in B12, B6, magnesium, iodine & omega 3 fatty acids). As I was already working on other lifestyle factors, I'm hoping this lamp will be the final piece of the puzzle.I'll try and remember to add an update in a few week's time to comment on any longer-term effects, but, so far, so good :)Conclusion: this tiny & low-priced lamp seems well made, is just as effective as my previous much larger model, and is incredibly easy to use, store or carry around.

This TL30 has been a great help for more than 2 years! I've recently upgraded to TL45 and gifted this one to my parents - but it's still a brilliant device that works and considerably cheaper (while doing the same thing).I usually switched it on while having my morning coffee but I also kept it on my work table, on the side, and switched it on and off several times during the work day. While it’s not some kind of miracle cure, I’ve genuinely noticed that I feel more awake and a bit more motivated on grey mornings. It really helps set a better tone for the day, especially when everything outside feels dull and flat.Note that researches show that you usually need several weeks of correct exposure to such lamps to feel the beneficial effects.The good / PROs:1. Nice, compact, slim and portable + a convenient stand and cover. Easy to cary with you around house and taking with you on travels. My newer tl45 is much bulkier and less convenient in this regard.2. I like that this is a medical grade, approved device - so you are not exposing your eyes to harmful light. Saying that please note that it is not recommended to look directly at the lamp for extended periods of time and very close. It's very bright and can feel harsh if looking close & long.3. It’s very lightweight and 0 setup haha, just connect the charger, put the stand and you are good to go. The light itself is bright, clean, and very “daylight-like”.5.It’s LED, so it’s energy efficient, doesn’t give off much heat.TO NOTE / What could be better:1. No built-in timer (for whoever it matters, but there is none)2. There is no other colour for the light like in tl 45 for example. I like the warmer ones but in fairness they are weaker too in terms of output lux. And in fairness it's probably expected as this model is at least twice cheaper than tl45 while still providing the therapeutic 10k lux light.Overall in my opinion this lamp offers amazing value for your money and is kinda natural source of enhancing your day! If you struggle with low energy or winter mood dips, especially in darker climates, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try!Hope it helps like it did for me! Stay well & cheers!

This is great wee product! I got it because I definitely felt a bit down during the winter. I work from home so I have it set up in my desk. The instructions say it needs to be close to you (I think 20cm?) and directly into your eyes. It gave me a headache for the first week or so but I know that is to be expected. After that period I genuinely feel like it made a difference. It is a registered medical device which gave me confidence in it. This was a good bit cheaper than other models but because I was skeptical I didn’t want to shell out loads of money. It doesn’t have any adjustments, so it is one colour and one intensity, no timer but I don’t mind that. It is about the size of and looks like a mini iPad so if you aren’t using it it can lie flat and not take up much space. It has a little stand which is perfectly functional. 4 stars because you can probably benefit from spending a bit more so you can get the benefits from positioning it a bit further away from your face but if you don’t want to spend a lot, this is a great option.

I picked up the Beurer TL30UK SAD lamp (open box, “very good” condition) with a 26% discount — and I’m so glad I did! Despite being “open box,” it looked practically brand new, and it arrived with everything, including the travel pouch.I bought this to help with the impending winter slump — low energy, sluggish mornings, and that general fog that seems to settle in during the darker months.It’s compact enough to sit on my desk without taking up space, and I love that it’s super easy to use — just one button and it’s on. The 10,000 lux brightness is powerful but not harsh, and there’s no flicker or UV, so it’s gentle on the eyes. Plus, the adjustable stand is a nice touch for angling it just right.Overall, this little lamp will become a staple in my morning routine — highly recommend if you’re looking for a natural way to fight off the winter blues! I’ve also read it helps with your sleep routine 😴

I originally bought this SAD light around 5 years ago, it has finally after using it every winter started to get a little flicker which you can't really work with. This is a nice flat one and gives off a good bright non evasive light. I like to use it for an hour each morning whilst at my desk, I have it just on the side of the desk so it doesn't directly shine in my eyes. I always make sure that if I have it on for an hour, I don't start it after 10am. This light does more that you think it would, I once felt tired (when not using it one morning) and put it on for an hour at midday, I was up until very late at night, wide awake, as it reacts with your eyes to wake you brain up. That's why I do not have it on after 11am.100% recommend this and I find I need it about early January until early March, then it gets packed up for another year.

This was a lifesaver over winter. I suffer from SAD so decided to purchase a light box of some kind. I was sceptical about whether it would work for me so I didn't want to spend too much but still wanted something effective. I settled on this product as it was considerably cheaper than other options but still medically verified and seemed reputable. I am so glad I took the leap. The light is very bright indeed, especially on gloomy winter mornings. The little green removable 'leg' on the back helps you position it on a surface near your face. I like to sit next to it and read, so it helps me start the day in a healthy, calming way. It comes with a pouch to keep it safe in a bag so when I went away for Christmas I could easily take it with me. It's similar dimensions to a tablet so fits super easily in a rucksack or bag designed for work etc. It's mains powered so you do have to bring the cable with you and find somewhere to plug it in, but at least this means there aren't any batteries to worry about changing! Plus the cable is long enough to reach a socket on the floor if you have it on the bed, for example. After using it for half an hour in the mornings I feel more energised, confident and able to face the day. It's not quite the same as a bright, sunny, summer's day, but it's a lifeline for me as I find it near impossible to enjoy a day in winter without it.

It seems to do the job, but it has a tendency to flicker. Should probably be avoided by anybody that can’t tolerate strobe lights.

I don't often write but I have to say that this lamp has been a real help. I have SAD and fibromyalgia. I find it hard to get up early, but using this lamp very first thing as I wake up, really does wake me up and chase the blues away! It's also portable so it fits in my case🤩Only thing is, don't want to look at it directly in the morning as it is brilliantly bright 🌞

Impossible à brancher car c'est une prise anglaise. Malhonnête de ne pas le mentionner.

Really good product

I bought this product and it was fantastic for the first few days however after a very short period of time it started to flicker, I logged an issue however no one got back to me and the product has never worked properly since. It is constantly flickering and as a result I can’t leave it on.

Falscher Stecker. Lampe ging nicht mal an

Lampe kam schnell. Ausprobieren ging nicht, da der Stecker nicht in deutsche Steckdosen passt. Ist ein US Stecker dabei. Die selbe Lampe dann im Media Markt für weniger Geld und richtigem Stecker geholt.
