I think the design looks nice and stylish, but it doesn’t produce enough light compare to a flat screen LED therapy lamp. This one also doesn’t have a timer function, but I still like it and it’s serves it purpose for giving me the light I need on gloomy days. If I had nothing to compare it to I’d love it with 5 stars.

The light is nice as a therapy light but also works well to flood a room in even light. I am using this one on my living room end table to help fill in the lighting. I uploaded a video giving it a run-thru. It lacks a timer so if that is important you should look elsewhere but as a nice appearance and functional light I am quite happy with it.

The sunlight lamp really reminds me of the sun. The shape and the light it gives off is just like the sun but it doesn’t have any harmful UV rays. If you live anywhere in the northern hemisphere, using one of these in the winter can help to improve your mood and prevent seasonal affective disorder. I like it because it wakes me up. It makes me feel more alerts and I feel a lot more happy and relaxed when I use this late. It doesn’t have a timer but so white. When you’re done using it, turn it off. It’s just that simple.

This light therapy lamp comes packaged in a PM7 material. It weights 1 pound 5 ounces without the cord or 1 pound 8 ounces with the cord (about 72 inches long). The lamp is able to tilt in various angles. At 180 degree can hang on the wall. The 3 color temperatures are great to have! The brightness level is adjustable from very bright to dimly bright. The buttons are responsive and easy to press. This lamp does not work with a timer but has brightness memory function. When the light is turned off, it will remember the previous brightness level at the white color mode when turn back on. Overall, light works nicely and has no malfunction or defect.

I like the shape of this light therapy lamp, but find that the 3 control buttons on the right side to be difficult to use one-handed. I find it necessary to hold the lamp with one hand while pressing the buttons with the other. Looking at it and using it in-person, I realize I think I would like this better if the controls were touch-sensitive and the face to be matte rather than glossy. Neither of these observations are integral to proper functioning of this lamp, but ways I think it could be improved.
Unlike some other light therapy lamps, this one does offer 3 color temperatures (which I'll call cold spaceship cold blue-ish white, mid range white, and warm yellow light). The brightness levels can be adjusted (brighter or dimmer) through 5 levels, so the lamp is also appropriate for some ambient lighting.
The stand is sturdy enough to hold this at various angles without slippage or problems in holding the angle. I like the unusual appearance (domed round shape) but wish the 3 buttons on the side were easier to use one-handed. When not powered on, the high gloss makes the lamp look a little cheap, (but while on it makes no difference). This lamp performs well in the advertised features, but the side buttons are a bit difficult to use without having both hands free. Thanks for reading.

I requested this light to use with my Echo Show 8 device to provide some facial illumination during video calls. It works admirably for that purpose, brightening up the face of the user much better than ambient room light.
This Memorism therapy light has some appealing design features. The light can be adjusted to five levels of brightness, there are three color temperature choices, and the sturdy base is solid aluminum and keeps the light from wobbling.
The ad copy says the light gives out "up to 10,000 LUX." I tested this claim with a light meter and found that at the highest light output, the light does give off 10,000 LUX at 2 inches from the light. At one foot, the light output was 1560 LUX and at two feet it was down to 460 LUX. At the 2-inch distance, the five light output levels are 10000, 8000, 6000, 3500, and 1350 LUX. At the brightest light level, I did have to squint my eyes when looking directly into the light.
In use, the Memorism light has a few annoyances. You can't press the control buttons (which are small and located inconspicuously on the right side of the unit) without the unit sliding about on the table or countertop. This forces you to use both hands to hold the light anytime you press the buttons. Although the base is heavy and solid, it is smooth and provides no resistance against sliding. I would recommend mounting some rubber feet to the base to give it a better grip on smooth surfaces. Additionally, the edges of the base are angular and sharp. They could scratch a wooden surface if you are not careful.
Overall, I am pleased with this item and plan to keep it right beside the Echo Show for facial illumination during video calls.

I really enjoy having a light therapy lamp around during the winter months and have a few lamps. Many people end up experiencing the winter blues and could benefit from one. I have experience with several models, including the expensive Verilux, which I love. This particular light therapy lamp is a simple, but effective one. The brightness is adjustable from 2000 to 10000 lux with the touch of a button.This is high on the spectrum of light offered. This is, comparatively, a larger model that’s not really portable.
I don’t have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), but as I mentioned, do enjoy having a therapy light. During the winter months, increased light in any room brightens my mood and energizes me. If it’s dark, gloomy, and overcast outside, I have little energy to get anything done. With 10,000 lux, this lamp certainly lights up a room. The color temperature is 3000 - 6500K (Kelvins). It’s super easy to turn up the brightness level, as mentioned. It can be adjusted five different levels in a stepless manner.
Unfortunately, there’s no timer with this one. A timing feature is critical when undertaking light therapy.

Circadian rhythms control many human functions, both physical and mental, and one of the most powerful influences on those rhythms is the hours of sunshine we're exposed to. Among all of the effects of getting too little sunshine, usually because of shorter Winter days but also because of work conditions or hours, is a sense of lethargy and often of depression. This has been identified as Seasonal Affective Disorder (leading to what may be the most descriptive acronym in medicine) and the results can range from mildly disruptive to debilitating. This Memorism Aura TL9 Light Therapy Lamp has been particularly effective for my wife and me in fighting that condition.
We were very impressed with the high quality construction of this lamp; the attached base, which is also useful for hanging the lamp on a wall if that's your desire, solidly supports the lamp on a shelf, table or desk, and adjusts the lamp to any angle from horizontal to vertical. The face of the lamp is a smooth, unblemished dome which, when it's on, gives the impression of seeing the Sun or Moon, though of course without damaging rays. The smooth circular outline is pleasant and relaxing with no corners or straight lines to distract or engage the eye; the light produced by our Memorism Aura TL9 Light Therapy Lamp is extremely even with no blotches or variations. Within seconds it simply becomes part of the background while fooling our brains into believing we're enjoying a few extra hours of daylight. We have both found it very effective in boosting both our mental energy and mood, and for "waking us up" physically.
Setup and adjustment are very easy - simply remove the lamp from its elegant packaging, set the angle of the base, plug in the power adapter (with six-foot cord) and it's ready to use. Three buttons on the side of the unit let you select color temperature and adjust brightness up or down as needed. We found the 5500-6000K color temperature most effective in the morning, and the 2700-3000K "warm white" best in the afternoon and evening. We were hoping the "Memory Function" would let us control the lamp with an Alexa-linked smart socket by returning to its last setting when powered up, but this was not the case - it appears the lamp "remembers" its previous brightness setting if it's turned off by its own switch but not if power is interrupted. If the power is removed, the lamp must be turned back on manually, and defaults to the "standard" brightness level of about 6000 lux. This has not proved to be a problem; we are very happy with our Memorism Aura TL9 Light Therapy Lamp and enjoy using it.

I live in a pretty cold environment that doesn't get much sunlight during the winter. A friend recommended I check one of these out to help me get through the winter blues. I was a little skeptical ordering but figured I didn't have much to lose by trying it out.
I've only used it a few times and it might be in my head, but I did feel more upbeat after using this for a few minutes in the morning. I'll come back and update my review if that changes but so far it seems to be working as advertised.
It's much brighter than expected so I had to use the lower brightness settings. I don't know what the difference in warmth levels means yet, but I like the "warmer" orange-looking light compared to the harsh white light.

I bought this light as a replacement for a different brand light that I accidentally dropped on the floor. This light is so much more soothing, lacking that jolting glare my previous light had. The simplicity (on-off only); size (perfect for my wee desk); brightness (light a dose of sunrise sunlight bursting over the Cascades); cable (a generous 6 ft); and clumsy-user-proof case (quite robust) make this a stellar product. After 2 weeks (I use it mostly everyday) I have improved mood (bordering on giddy) and deeper and lasting sleep. I use it every day or every second day, while I eat breakfast, and I’m also taking vitamin D supplements. I think the combination has really helped prevent my usual slip into sluggishness in the winter. I work out every day and I have sustained energy and a more positive attitude. I also sleep well at night for a full 8 hours. This is really a major improvement compared to my usual couch-potato self in the winter.
