luminette 3 Light Therapy Glasses – Wearable Light Therapy Lamp – Natural Relief for Sleep Problems, Seasonal Mood Disorders & Jet Lag – Portable Daylight Lamp – 300,000 Satisfied Users (Blue)

I’ve owned and used a Lumie Vitamin L lamp for quite a few years and I’ve found that it hasn’t ever really helped with my SAD. I put this down to light therapy in general not being beneficial for me. This year I struggled quite bad and revisited the solutions available. I came across the Luminette and thought they were definitely worth a shot. I’ve heard people mention they are pricey, however, in the grand scheme of innovative heath technology and the benefits these could offer, I think they are very reasonably priced tbh. They come well packaged with an accompanying carry case and appear to be good quality. Yes they are plastic, but they don’t feel or look cheap in my opinion. A full charge takes around two hours and lasts quite a few days depending on use. There are 3 intensity settings each with corresponding session durations. I currently do two sessions each morning, the first at the highest setting upon wakening and then a second mid morning on the middle setting. Incredibly I have felt full benefit and remission after only 4 days of use, so this is a game changer to me! This is probably down to a few reasons; practicality, consistency and efficacy. The hologram design splits the light and if positioned correctly the blue light will hit the bottom of the eyes whilst bathing the rest in broad spectrum light. The targeted light, intensity and duration together with consistency of use are all key factors I believe. Others have complained of headaches whilst using but I haven’t experienced that, even at the highest setting or after concurrent sessions which is good, or lucky I suppose. Nevertheless I would always want to persevere and hope that any side effects might be transient and resolve on their own. The light can be quite dazzling at first but usually only when first used in dark/dim settings and passes quickly, especially with brighter ambient light around. Anyway, I hope this review helps and hope that these help you as they have me as SAD can be pretty miserable!

I’ve tried various SADS light therapy and whilst they can be effective I’ve found positioning the light annoying and so often I haven’t been consistent in use. Luminette glasses are so easy to use and they are uber convenient so I use them everyday. They are comfy to wear and the light on its highest setting isn’t too much for me. As they can be worn there’s no sitting still with an awkward glare from your old light. I get up, pop them on and get the kettle going. They work so well giving me freedom to do my morning routine as normal, no time lost. I do feel a little extra energy and I feel more positive. Its helped my SADS for sure. Surprised I’m getting off to sleep easier as well, it’s a treat! Seem’s like a lot money but it’s really not for what you get from it. Can’t put a price on that! Well worth the investment in my opinion. Highly recommended.

Excellent solution for the winter blues, this product has changed my winter and I'm so pleased with this product!! I've tried light therapy before but haven't been able to sit myself in front stationary light boxes at the right distance / time interval for it to have a noticeable impact. Being able to put the glasses on first thing in the morning whilst being able to move around and get ready has been a game changer. I don't need to wake up early to have enough time to factor 30 mins of light therapy into my morning as I can just wear the glasses whilst getting ready. The light also shines down into your eyes rather than right at your face like a light box, so it doesn't feel uncomfortable. The glasses are quite expensive but for the difference they have made to my mood and energy levels they are so worth the money!! I no longer feel like I want to hibernate all winter. I The glasses have helped me to no longer feel sluggish which in turn has helped me to have enough energy to do other things to help with the SAD such as exercise that also help. Also there's the bonus of looking like a cool rainbow eyed cyborg!

I got the Luminette to help shift my sleep schedule earlier and reduce the difficulties I have waking up. I had previously tried light therapy lamps, but I found them impractical and ineffective. (It's nearly impossible to get the lamps close enough to your face for a long enough amount of time, especially while doing anything else.) The Luminette glasses are a vast improvement. I can wear them while getting ready and doing work in the morning. They fit comfortably -- and over glasses if you wear them. The rubber arms and nosepiece help them stay in place. The light is directed from above your eyes, so the light and glasses don't interfere with your vision (unlike with some other brands of light therapy glasses). The button to change the light intensity and turn them on/off is easy to use. The pieces feel sturdy. I charge them once every several days. As for their effectiveness, anecdotally it seems they've helped with my particular sleep issues. Or at least, since I started using them each morning several months ago, my sleep schedule has shifted back 1+ hour, and it now takes me 1-2 hours to get up in the morning instead of 2-4. The effects took time and weren't always evident, but the trend seems like it's going in the right direction. Overall, I'd recommend trying them if you're looking for a more convenient and effective alternative to other sources of light therapy.

Purchased direct from Luminette as these weren’t available on Amazon at the time. I tried every light there was. White, blue and green light Therapy and various brands. A few details that make the average light therapy product less convenient than it should be is that 1) distance to the light source is everything. 2) that distance is waaay less than you think (typically under 12” to see maximum benefit from a high lux light). Most people do not use the standard type SAD lights anywhere near that close, the lux to your eyes falls off dramatically over distance. 3) standard type SAD lights do serve a purpose and can be nice to have as a quality CRI light source that may off some benefit. 4) standard high lux SAD lights are a giant hammer when what you really need are more precisely targeted light frequencies over raw lumen. Though, again, I do think broad spectrum light IS helpful as an adjunct to the Luminette device when you are working at the desk, computer, reading etc. The issue I had with the majority of lights is that I got little benefit. I had to guess at whether I was in fact seeing a benefit. For me, my deepest winter SAD symptom is increased food cravings. This is the final boss for me and when I absolutely know I’m deep in it, and may have screwed up by not starting treatment sooner. It’s remarkable to seasonally find yourself ravenous and needing to muscle through winter to keep the body weight stable. For others their worst manifested SAD symptom may be different, but I think we all have that one thing that lets us know that what we are doing to treat SAD isn’t working or to know we should have been treating it sooner and not let it go that far; loss of interest in things and depression being super common. Luminette was a Hail Marry if ever there was one for me. I ignored this product for too long thinking it couldn’t be a serious treatment, not enough LUX, not enough LED’s…surely... …well I had to order it direct as Amazon was not an option, but no product, absolutely not one single product of the hordes of products I tried to treat my SAD with over the years, even came close to what this did for me. You cannot make SAD go away completely, at least mine won’t, but the massive improvement of all symptoms in LESS than 7 days (7 to 14 days being the typical wait and see period for most lights) blew my mind. It was the first time in all these years I felt I had experienced relief of my symptoms. Keys to success. If you have a more flexible morning schedule during wake up time due to a later shift vs. straight out the door to work, set your alarm to wake up the same time every day. Period. No matter what. If you have SAD and messed up sleep like a lot of us do with exhaustion during the morning and endless mental energy at night, set the morning alarm and stay with it no matter what. The bed time tends to take care of itself after treatment takes effect. Also, don’t hesitate to use this around when it gets dark in your region. Where I am, in the summer it’s light until 10:30 and in the winter it’s dark by 5. So this time of year, I would begin to use it by 5 for 20min on high to gain the best effect. This is the hardest one for me to integrate, but if and when I do, it works the best. Just use it when there would normally be light but there isn’t anymore. It will not interfere with sleep. I absolutely recommend this product and as strange a setup as it is with its fewer LED’s and the hologram sticker/reflector, this is THE product. The splitting off of the blue light frequency is brilliant and avoids the use of blue LED’s which have higher photonic energy and, as postulated, may lead to issues later on like macular degeneration. This is a safe product based on my own deep dive into it and meets the standard for its medical claims. Worth the try, give it time to work, lots of people seem to find 4 days results in improvements, but give it a full 2 weeks as the majority will respond in this time frame. Having this on your face like glasses solves the proximity issue and sidesteps the lux issue as well as the potentially deleterious blue LED light issue while targeting the specific receptors that help regulate circadian rhythm. This is why this product is one of the most elegant solutions around right now.

Pour ma part j'avais des migraines chroniques, devenant très handicapantes avec le temps sur mon activité professionnelle. Il se trouve que je suis quelqu'un qui passait trop de temps sur un ordinateur en télétravail, et cela sans mettre les pieds dehors... Donc un manque flagrant de soleil dans ma vie quotidienne. Insomnies chroniques, migraines chroniques au point que ma tête allait exploser... Des difficultés grandissantes à faire mon travail, Un stress et le coeur qui bat au moment de dormir la nuit, et au final des envies de dormir à n'importe quelle heure durant la journée... bref mon horloge interne était complètement déréglée. Ces luminettes sont à l'heure actuelle une aide précieuse afin de re-régler mon horloge interne ! Je les portent deux fois 1 heure par jour (petit déjeuner puis en début d'après midi), soit 2 heures au total et je commence en moins d'une semaine à retrouver un sommeil +/- paisible. Cela va en s'améliorant, mais c'est sûr ça n'est pas en 1 semaine que l'on va re-régler des années de mauvaises pratiques... Toutefois je sens vraiment la différence en même pas une semaine, mes migraines ont baissées en intensité, voir ont commencés à disparaître, et aller dormir la nuit n'est plus aussi stressant. Finis les tisanes anti-stress depuis 1 semaine alors qu'avant c'était automatique ! Cela prouve bien qu'il y a amélioration! De plus je ne dors absolument plus la journée... Ou alors 1 seule sieste de 30 min sur ces 5 derniers jours. On est loin des 5 siestes de 1h d'avant... Mon humeur générale tend vers plus de positivité, et j'ai tout simplement plus d'énergie tout au long de la journée. Donc oui ces lunettes sont chères... mais quand c'est pour votre santé, il ne vaut mieux pas regarder à la dépense. Perso je suis content de pouvoir mettre enfin un traitement naturel sur mon problème... Car j'avais consulté quelques médecins et on tâtonnait sans vraiment savoir de quoi il était question.

Jag kör 20-30 min varje morgon så fort jag vaknar och det hjälper verkligen bra mot min säsongsdeppression. Jag har haft en vanlig lampa och kört 5-10 min under frukosten men det funkar inte alls. Det verkar som att avståndet från ögonen samt konsekvent belysning i minst 20min är medicinen. Rekommenderas starkt till alla som lider under höst och vinter.

Mi nivel de energía en las mañanas era muy bajo. Desde las 6am hasta alrededor de las 10am sólo pensaba en dormir. Me sentía cansado y adormilado. Comencé a salir un ratito al sol y noté qué me ayudaba, pero desafortunadamente la luz de sol pega bien en dónde trabajo hasta las 9-10, siempre y cuando no esté nublado. Está solución ha resultado de maravilla. Me siento mucho mejor por las mañanas. La uso inmediatamente al despertarme.
