Do you mean like photography lights? I imagine they work quite well, just usually quite bulky.

Ooof yeah, that'll do it! I think you'll definitely benefit from more light during the winter season, basically everyone does. Sometimes you don't really know what you're missing until you get it back, then you notice the change!

Hmmm good question. I think if you can get these cheap they'd be a better choice. Luminette would probably be more visually comfortable, however. These are a bit more compact than Luminette as well and will stay on during exercise or running for example, the Luminette will not. They felt similarly "effective" but that's hard to say without a really scientific head-to-head study which we don't have. The Luminette emits a lot of EMF last i checked so if that's a concern it's worth noting.

@optimizeyourbiology thanks

I haven't gotten my hands on it yet! I'm hoping to soon. I'll post a review here once I do.

Glad you found my videos helpful! You're right there's really not a lot of info on this stuff out there surprisingly... I hope you like your glasses!

Going to try to do that this year!

Glad to hear that :) They're a life saver!

Thank you my friend :)

You are welcome!

Hey thanks! :) Just any SAD lamp? There aren't many options in Europe I'm afraid... A lower cost Beurer lamp might be a good choice?

@@optimizeyourbiology yeah just any lamp which gets my circadian rhythm „started“ in the morning. I’m going to take a look on the u suggested Ty

Haha I appreciate that :D We're working on it!

They have two brightness settings, low and high which automatically run for I believe either 30 or 60 minutes? But you just put them on and turn them on, that's about all there is to it. Usually first thing in the morning.

Thank you! :)

Here is my current list of recommendations! optimizeyourbiology.com/best-sad-light-therapy-lamps/

Thanks for the comment :) They're great lamps!

Care to cite that claim? Sperti has conducted a study that showed its lamp does increase vitamin D levels, so do you dispute this study? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/phpp.12000

Haha I appreciate your enthusiasm! 😁

In terms of migraines, I would say no. The green would be the most effective in that realm because of the studies done on the benefits of green light exposure. With red or indigo tints, you're not getting any of the green light coming through that helps produce the pain relieving effects.

This could definitely be used for plants! I’m sure they’d love it 😊 And yes you can! I’ve built one and have some resources for doing so here: optimizeyourbiology.com/diy-vitamin-d-sun-lamp

@@optimizeyourbiology Thank you so much for responding and i'll take a look.

@@angelicaterry3367 You're very welcome :)

@@optimizeyourbiologyI’m very new to using artificial light for plants, but wouldn’t it be to much for the plants? I know you want more blue than the rest, a little uv and whatnot. But I’m just not sure

@@TheRealKiari I guess that depends on what you want to do with the plants? This spectrum is very similar to the Sun which all plants evolved with, so I'd think it's pretty ideal. Some research shows that "SunLike" spectrum lights work better than standard "plant lights" as plants utilize more than mono-color wavelengths.

Hey there! I’m actually not very familiar with those it looks like Therspecs has new options since we last tested them. My gut says to go with the Pro, but we’ll have to buy these and test them to be sure 😁

@@optimizeyourbiology Thanks!!!! <3

Agreed! That is the biggest downside I think. I prefer using much brighter lamps myself as well.

@@optimizeyourbiology hey, are they better than Tuo lights?

@@OceanDrive321 I'm not quite sure we can definitively say. I believe based on the data from Tuo those would be "more effective" however you may find using the SkyView's far more pleasant.

@optimizeyourbiology thank you, cloudy lamp looks very nice

It definitely is! They're very beautiful in person.

I haven't tried those cheaper AliExpress glasses, they probably work alright! I think the Luminette (or any glasses) work quite well because you're always at the effective distance... whereas lamps will vary in effect depending on how far away you are. With that said, most lamps within 1-2 feet will be more effective than glasses. If you're at your desk while using them, I'd say the desk lamp is the better choice for your money!

Hey there! So you can't view AliExpress links in Spain? Hmmm. In any case, what you're looking for is a "SunLike" led strip. if there are spectral graphs available they should look similar to the ones in this video!

Thank you for the response. This particular item is not available to be shipped to Spain, and seems that for that reason I can't access the item page. Already found one available here. Best regards!

@@falconsito Excellent! That's great you could find one.

As far as I’m aware they all work on 220V!

So the Sperti vitamin D lamp in this video already emits UVB, and they do sell replacement bulbs as well. I’m not sure if you’d be able to find alternative UVB bulbs to replace them with as I think they’re custom.

Hi there! It's in the video description, but a Sperti Vitamin D lamp can be purchased form their website for $599. Although they regularly have sales that bring that down quite a bit.

@@optimizeyourbiology I got one now, got it for $250 on craigslist. It works fine but its a little tricky to use.

Haha I tried! I do have an article as well where I give my favorites: optimizeyourbiology.com/best-verilux-happylight-lamps But it kinda depends. The Luxe is a pretty good all around option!

Okay, lol. I officially consider myself thick headed. I don't get out of the house, perhaps 2 times a month. I get no sun. I need something that helps me naturally make vitamin D. In layman's terms, which lamp would you pick if you were me 😊

@@silviakl0986 Ah vitamin D! Well a SAD lamp won't help you there, you'll need UV light for that. You can either buy the Sperti Vitamin D lamp or build your own! optimizeyourbiology.com/diy-vitamin-d-sun-lamp It's easier than you'd think!

I personally use the DIY lamps that I made myself 😁

It definitely could! Lenses can be difficult to get right but I might try that on a future attempt.

Perhaps I misspoke but measurements were taken from the guard.

I bet those are very effective! Haha

@@optimizeyourbiology Science is Science based on results you have quantitative effect, that can be measured against another source given the same comparable result effect. Sales is a manner to re-package & make a Sale mostly spewen with colorful superficial Doctoring! I heard Migraine Glasses cause Light sensitivity,& I noticed exactly that when wearing Welding Glasses out doors. & can say they out perform Most Sun Glasses for eye protection. But keep your (spin) & conditioned THINK up ware your (SUN) shines. :)

That's probably true! haha yeah I think people need to be careful! If you we're sunglasses to often you'll end up "needing" them because your eyes will adjust to the darkness.

Sorry about that! We’ll try to make that less intrusive next time. All of the data and findings are in the linked article as well.

Glad it was helpful!

Nvm just saw the bit in the video. A lot cooler than I expected!

Yup! Not bad with the large aluminum pan as a heat sink 😁 They definitely got way hotter with the stainless steel.

You’re very welcome :) thank you!

You're correct, they both serve a unique purpose. Bright light and UV are both useful for SAD for different reasons. UV can help produce vitamin D and hormone responses that lift the mood, while bright light in the morning and during the day can help entrain the circadian rhythm and boost energy and mood as well.

@@optimizeyourbiology got it, thanks

I did not perform that experiment but I may try it in the future! The Sperti study claims about 2300 IU with I think it was a 5 minute exposure: www.sperti.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/sperti.pdf

@@optimizeyourbiology Thanks for your reply. I emailed them and it is exactly what they said. Which is helpful because I realize I haven't been getting enough Vit D using it. If you use it every other day, especially. But testing will verify as everyone is different.

@@MrBrianDuga Yes you can always check with a vitamin D test! They're relatively affordable nowadays. But I'll see if I can get around to testing a Sperti lamp like this in the future.

You’re welcome :)
