Day One:
Pros:
The light is way brighter than I expected. There are three brightness modes. My husband prefers the warm light, I prefer the bright white on the highest setting (especially if my eyes are struggling to stay open)
My mood and energy were more consistent throughout the day. I didn't hit a mid-day slump and had plenty of energy all the way up to bedtime.
The portability is great. I use it first in the morning and then pass it off to my husband. The portability is necessary in our lives.
Cons:
I do wish that there was a battery option. I understand why (it would probably go through them like crazy, but being stuck by a wall plug is pretty inconvenient.

Two Months Later:
Using this light has now become a habit. I use it daily while I journal every morning. Don't get me wrong, there were still days that I didn't use it, and I did feel my mood and "awakeness" struggling.
You do need to cut out at least a half hour of your life to spend time sitting, which you can use to habit stack (like I do with journalling), or just sit in silence. It can become a very special time if you allow it to be.
Would I recommend it?
Bottom line, yes. I don't have any other Happy Lights to compare this one to, but this price point felt comfortable for me. There are cheaper options as well!
This light helps me prioritize taking half an hour for myself. Slow down and appreciate the day ahead. It is now one of my staples in my self-care stack!
