Best SAD Lights in 2026
SAD lights (or light therapy lamps) are designed to combat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and winter blues by simulating natural daylight, usually at 10,000 lux. They help boost mood and energy by increasing serotonin and reducing melatonin. Using these devices for 30–60 minutes in the morning is generally recommended for the best effect.

- Brightness: 10,000 LUX is standard for therapeutic effectiveness.
- UV-Free: Most modern units filter out harmful UV rays.
- Timers & Settings: Many models offer adjustable brightness and timers for convenience.
