Relaxation sounds,
Not a bad little machine. The sound loop for the 6 sounds is pretty good, if you listen (actually listen) to the loop, you can find where it starts repeating. The only thing I didn’t like about this machine is that the lights for the on/off and timer are a bit bright! I solve this by putting a small towel over the area. Also, you have to remember to shut it off, or the batteries will wear out quickly! (I’m in Europe and can’t use the AC plug.) Other than this, I would recommend it for people who want to either block out surrounding sounds (from outside mostly) or don’t like to fall asleep with total quiet.

|A fine little machine,
A fine little machine. Does what it says it should do and does it well. There are a variety of quality sounds all relaxing. The heartbeat sound is a bit creepy, but for some that may be ok. The sounds of the ocean are our favorite, though you do hear seagulls in the background. The sound quality is excellent and fills a room nicely. The addition of the timer or unlimited play is helpful. A good little machine.
Pros:
- Quality sound, both in volume and content
- Timer feature or unlimited play
- Small form factor
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Sounds are repetitive (though not distractingly so)
- The heartbeat is a bit creepy, perhaps for some

|Great idea, not great quality,
I love the idea behind this, it is a basic white nosie maker to drown out noise for our daughter to sleep, even camping since it runs on a couple of batteries! But after only a month….it started shorting out…we can still coerce it to work..but I know we eventually won;t be able to. Bummer!

|I bought this because of other people’s reviews,
I have gotten down in the dumps around November every year. This year it got bad enough that I finally decided to buy a light box. What can I say, it works! I use it in the morning for 30 minutes while I check emails. If I have time I use it in the evening when I get home from work for another 30 minutes. The only cons I can think of is that the ionizer thing smells bad. Sort of a strong plastic smell. I have been using the light box for around a month. I feel very good. I am not down in the dumps at all. I highly recommend this if you have seasonal effective disorder like I do. I would have bought this years ago had I known it would actually work.

|Helped me with my winter blues,
I moved from Virginia to Iowa in ’06 and experienced SAD during my first winter here. It wasn’t something that I recognized right away and by the time spring came, I was 30lbs heavier and suffering from moderate depression. After some extra warm weather exercise and a resolution to not let it happen to me again this year, I did some research on sunlight therapy and settled on this affordable NatureBright product.
I felt the difference within 2 days of using it! My mood brightened and I started to get my initiative back. Even though it is still cold and grey outside, I now go for walks, out to eat, on day trips and have started picking up forgotten projects around the house.
Per the instructions included with the lamp, I sit in front of it for 30 minutes in the morning and then sometimes another 30 minutes in the early afternoon. I have the Ion breeze on throughout the day.
In reference to the actual product, it has a timer which is wonderfully easy to operate and makes the 30 minute timing precise. There is an on/off switch for both the light and the ion air. The lighting area is about the size of a hardback book and has 4 long bulbs.
Overall, I feel that this is a great item to use to perk you up during those winter months inside!

|Worth buying – worked for me,
I looked at a few different sun lamps on Amazon and ended up with this one because the price was discounted. The company’s website did not have as many detailed specs as I wanted to see before buying the product, so I called customer service. To receive 10,000 lux, you have to sit at least as close as 15 inches. The manual says with the ionizer on, you can sit as far as 20 inches (I’m not sure I believe that – I think it’s just recommended for a “treatment session”, not for the 10,000 lux). Also, the lights should be good for about 3 years (there are 4 in the lamp), and it’s currently $60 to replace all 4.
As for the ionizer, I wasn’t looking for anything like this feature, and I was skeptical about it at first. However, I have since learned that it is a great plus to the light itself; it’s like having fresh air blowing at you. With the ionizer and the lamp on, I almost feel like I’m sitting outside on a sunny day.
Shipping was prompt, customer service was OK (they did take a day to call me back even during business hours- but they were nice and answered all my questions), and I’m very happy about the lamp. I’m not a morning person, but I find myself actually looking forward to going to work in the morning just so I can sit next to the lamp. I wasn’t convinced when I bought the lamp that light therapy would actually counter my winter depression, but I’m a believer now. This lamp has certainly worked well for me.
