Sunlight is an essential ingredient for a healthy lifestyle, but many of us don't get the amount of bright light we need to experience its benefits.

A light therapy lamp brings daylight indoors by emitting a bright white, full spectrum light that safely mimics sunlight. As a result, it helps to enhance mood, energy, sleep and focus by regulating serotonin and melatonin.

Bright light therapy has been studied extensively since the early 1980s and has clinically-proven effects on mood, energy, focus & sleep. Though the bulb in the Megelin Therapy Lamp looks like a regular bulb, the therapy lamps are uniquely designed with a special ballast to ensure a lux measurement (or light intensity) far greater than an ordinary lamp.

For most people, light therapy has no negative side effects (see the exceptions below). But it’s always best to talk with your doctor before starting a light therapy routine. If you feel like you’ve had too much caffeine or have trouble falling asleep, then you’ll want to cut back on the amount of time you use your therapy lamp and/or increase your distance from the light.

Megelin Therapy Lamps mimic daylight and emit a white light. It contains all the colors of the full visible spectrum of light, including blue. Blue light is necessary for light therapy to work because it helps the body regulate its biological clock, alertness, metabolic processes, cognitive function and mood. However, blue light – which can also be found in other light emitting electronic devices like computers and cell phones – is minimized to ensure safety.
