EnergyLight

[Employee of philipsglobal] I work from home, with my office currently located in the basement. Living in NY, we don't get much sunlight in the winter anyway, but these days it is dark when I start and finish working. I found the light to be effective in keeping me energized during the day. It is larger than I expected, but, to me, that is a good thing. I loved that all I had to do was take it out of the box, pull out the kick stand and plug it in. Even if it is just psychosomatic, having the light on has improved my energy level over the course of the day.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. The product comes completely assembled and the packaging was nice and easy to open. The only assembly was to plug it in which was extremely easy.The set up and directions for use were really easy. The manual is very descriptive of how you should use the light and what time of day is best for you to use it based on your schedule, whether you`re a morning/night person, etc. I live in an apartment with no direct sunlight and live in the Northeast and have been using the product for about 20 days now at home and find that it helps in enhancing my mood. This product is really nice and useful for places where natural light is not easily available. I started to feel the positive effects of the light therapy in just a few days. I was able to use the light while working on my computer at home. I can honestly say that I was feeling more energy later in the day. It helps in increasing the energy level and mood. The best part of the device is that you can also adjust the levels of brightness on the device. The options for the brightness of the light helps a lot as I like to adjust the brightness depending on the light outside. It has a sleek design with just three buttons on it - Power, and two for varying the intensity. The intensity settings are useful. The build of the unit is high quality and durable and is stylish. The stand that comes with it is sturdy enough to hold the light in place. It is extremely easy to use! My only issue with the light is the actual size of the unit. It is about twice the size of what I was expecting. I was hoping to be able to bring the unit to work with me and use it there, but it is just too big for that. Overall, I am impressed with this light and the quality of the device and would recommend the Philips Energy Light for anyone in the market for one.

I first started using the Philips Energylight as quite a skeptic. A light promising to bring increased energy and focus seems too good to be true. My skepticism was gone after the first couple of days and within a few weeks I already couldn’t imagine how I haven’t tried this sooner. While not a miracle, it certainly has provided more benefits than I could have imagined. I leave for work before the sun comes up every morning and sit at my desk under a fluorescent light . To say it’s draining would be an understatement. I decided to use the energy light for 30 minutes every day around lunch time and within just a few days, my last few work hours didn’t seem quite as tiring. 3 weeks later and Im I feel more rested and focused from the time I wake up in the morning and it lasts throughout the day. My husband and children tell me I seem to be in a better mood once I get home from work and the crazy part about it is, my coworker I share an office with swears that she has also felt benefits just from being in the office while I use the light.

In exchange for my review, I was given the Philips Natural Energy White Light for free. Setup was a breeze. The instructs were clear- all you need to do is plug the powercord into the device and then into an outlet. This product is great if you are looking to increase your energy levels. Especially if you start using it routinely in the mornings It is bright enough to wake me up without being overly bright.You can also adjust the levels of brightness on the device. This is my favorite feature that is not offered by all other lights out there. One of the days I used this light it was raining outside. It was nice to use the device when natural light was no available. The design is white and modern so leaving it on the counter fit in well with the rest of the room. The build of the unit is high quality and durable. The stand that comes with it is sturdy enough to hold the light in place. I never worried about the light falling over. Overall, I am impressed with this light. It does what it advertises in a stylish way. I have a minimalistic style and this fit my lifestyle perfectly. The price is fair for the brand and the overall quality of the product.

I recently received a free sample of the Philips EnergyLight to review. It claims that it will help people with improve their alertness, energy level, and can help people with moods affected by seasonal changes. Seeing as it’s still winter and I do have issues when the season changes, this was the perfect time to test it out. First off, it has a sleek design with just three buttons on it. There’s the on/off button, plus 2 that modify how bright the light gets. There’s also a timer on the front that shows you how long it’s been on. All you need to do to set it up is plug the cord into the unit and adjust the arm on the back. It’s not portable and it doesn’t use batteries. This light is massive- about the size of a closed 15” laptop, which is good and bad. If you want to use it at home and at work, it’s not great to tote around because it’s bulky. On the other hand, that’s plenty of light to work with. I used it at home and at work because it my energy dips at 2 PM and 7 PM. They suggest keeping it an arms’ length away, so it just fit on my work desk. After a few minutes of working on my computer, I didn’t even notice it. After thirty minutes, I turn it off and move it below my desk. Philips also created an app to go along with the light called EnergyLight App. I played with it a bit and I liked it. It allows you to pick a light program- it offers Indoor energy, Fight the dip, Winter energy, Early bird, and Night owl. If you’re unsure of what to go with, you can take an assessment to figure it out. The app is not connected to the light via Bluetooth or Wifi. It’s there to set alarms for you and to measure your energy before and after use. I think that’s a cool concept, especially for people tracking symptoms. There’s also information for people who want to learn more about sleep habits, the effects of light, and how time and seasons can affect your mood. I noticed an uptick in energy after using the EnergyLight and I will continue using it after this to help fight being tired in the afternoon. I’ve also used it for something completely unrelated- I keep it on when I apply my make up! My apartment doesn’t have direct lighting, so I turn it on to see what my make up looks like with natural lighting.

I received a free sample Phillips EnergyLight to try out for a few weeks. The product is really well designed. It’s simple, and easy to use. The options for powering on/off and selecting intensity are simple and clear. Setup is easy and doesn’t take very long. I love that it’s compact and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Having the added light during my does seem to work. I generally feel better and more energetic while I’m using the light. I have a very busy workday and have typically had dips in energy during the day, especially in the winter. Having the EnergyLight during the weeks when the days have been short on daylight has been a revelation! By using it, I find that I have more energy overall and I don’t drag in the middle of the day.

The Philips Natural Energy white light therapy was great. I received a free sample to review. It's super easy to navigate and the buttons were very receptive. The light can be turned up or down as far as brightness by 10 increments. The size is super convenient to carry around your house as long as you have a electric port to plug it in. The brightness did affect my sleep schedule however it worked great overall.

I received a free sample of the Philips Natural Energy White Light Therapy light to test for this review. While skeptical of the benefits to start, I was especially impressed with the amount of energy I had especially in through the 3 pm afternoon slump, and how easy it was to get up in the morning (on time without an alarm) at 6:30 am. The controls for the light are minimal and simple to use and I thought the the light up timer bar was very useful. The light is large, like standing a laptop on its side, but is overall light weight and sturdy. Overall I was very impressed and would consider this light a great effective option.

I received Philips Natural Energy White Light Therapy Medical Grade in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I live in the Pacific NW where there are many gray and drizzly days, so I was eager to try out the energy light during the winter months. Packaging and set up: The Philips Natural Energy White Light came securely packaged and arrived without damage via the mail. I was easily able to open the box and the light was wrapped in a protective cover, with strong support surrounding it. I did not need scissors or other tools to unbox the light. The packaging was as minimal as one could expect a breakable object to ship in. Once the light was unboxed, it was extremely simple to assemble and begin to use. Simply plug and push the one button. Design: The light was larger in height and width than I was expecting, but very slim. It fits nicely on a desk or counter and has a modern design with rounded corners, so it was not an eyesore. The adjustable stand was very handy and secure. I did not use the wall mount. First uses: For the first 5-10 uses, the light starts out less bright, getting you used to the intensity and new treatment. To be honest, I did not notice the change, and just adjusted the brightness as needed. There are 5 brightness levels and it was very helpful. I adjusted throughout the treatment and when I needed more light, simply increased the light. Light: The distribution of the light was very even. It filled up my entire kitchen, making it brighter and more cherry. Typically, I would use the light at my desk with working and I felt that the coverage was very good. Overall effect: This light came at the perfect time for me. We had just entered into the month of January and it was dark or gray and wet throughout the month. As I mentioned earlier, I work from home and the Philips Natural Energy White Light Therapy was a lovely addition to my workspace. I started off a bit of a skeptic and now look forward to my light session. I have noticed an uptick in energy and my mood is better after the light therapy. It is not a miracle cure, but it does provide a nice boost and a lovely “shot” of light to add brightness to your day. Here is the Pacific NW, we rush outside on the few days that have bright sunny skies (and they are few and far between), and this light fulfilled my need for a little bit of brightness. It was a nice boost to my day and I would recommend it for anyone who is craving a bit more sun or light throughout their day.

I was sent a free sample for this review. With that said, I suffer SAD on top of depression and have considered using one of these in the past to counter some of exponential effects that the winter in the Midwest region brings. I grew up in California, so coming to the Midwest where nearly all trees are deciduous made it obvious to me just how much the season affects me. I went into this not expecting too much to be honest. I know there is science to back up the claims that they make but still, it seemed unlikely to me that a mere light would affect my mood. I did some research before starting to use the product and decided that using it during the morning would work best for my personal situation. I setup the light at office desk so that I could easily switch it on while checking my morning email. The information sheet states that `today`s busy modern lifestyles demand peak performance all day long`. This rings true for me as I work between 47 & 53 hours a week, and am a single mother. Like I said, I was not expecting much change from this product, but within the first week, other people were noticing that I was in a better mood. This was really interesting since they did not know that I was using this product! In addition, I did note that I was getting more work done throughout the day. The items that I think could be improved, are the size of the unit. It is slim but larger than a piece of paper. I realize that may not be possible and it needs this size, but it was a task to find a spot for it on my desk in my cubicle. It would also be nice to have a timer that detects when you are in front of the unit. Let me explain why: My job as an Admin Assistant means I am running back and forth doing 10 things at once. I could see easily losing track of the time I spend in front of the unit. Even if there was just a timer with no detection, I could set it and have it automatically turn off at the right time, I could work that period into my schedule and not have to do any additional steps to keep track of the time like setting an alarm or even looking at the clock. These seem small but having it auto-turn off after an allotted time would be a huge plus for me! That said, it isn`t a feature that would prevent me from purchasing this product!
