Welcome back, Lifestyle Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today we are
in the Lifestyle. In this video, two Light Therapy Lamp brands will be going head to head.
We have the Northern and the Carex. **** The shift in natural light patterns can
have an impact on our mental state
as cooler temperatures arrive and our biological clocks adjust to time changes.
For many people, the winter blues are very real; for others, the effects are far more severe,
leading to severe lows and a medical diagnosis known as a seasonal affective disorder or SAD,
which is classified by the American Psychiatric Association as part of the DSM-5. Symptoms of
SAD can include tiredness, weight gain, mood swings, and sleep issues. But studies have shown
that light therapy lamps also known as SAD lamps can be effective in helping to reduce symptoms.
In today s Brand Wars, we've chosen the top two competitors in our lifestyle
light therapy lamp review, the Northern Light Technologies and the Carex Light Therapy Lamp,
both of which have earned 5 badges from our experts at trustedshoppingguide.com. We
pitted these two light therapy lamps against each other so you could choose the best one for you!
If you are interested in the other Light Therapy Lamps that we reviewed, do check out our Light
Therapy Lamp review video linked below. If you want direct links to the products themselves,
all these links are also listed below too. So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these Light Therapy Lamps will be going toe to toe with is their Brightness.
Different light intensities are produced by lightboxes. When compared to dimmer boxes,
brighter boxes will take less time to use each day to achieve the same effect. So
if you're looking for a light therapy lamp, the recommended light intensity should be 10,000 lux.
Northern prescribes a certain distance that you must follow to receive 10,000 LUX. It has larger
screens that put out more light, allowing for shorter sessions at a greater distance,
which require you to sit at a much closer and more uncomfortable distance, typically 6 inches.
On the other hand, Carex is equipped with LED BrightZone Technology,
which delivers a maximum dose of 10,000 LUX at a distance of 12 inches, ensuring that
you don't have to sit up close to the sun lamp like competing brands, maximizing effectiveness.
Both products can achieve the intensity of 10,000 LUX but one product can only achieve that
at a shorter distance. Having said that, Northern is unquestionably the winner of this round!
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their UV Light.
When purchasing a light therapy lamp, take into account the amount of UV light it emits.
It should be designed to filter out the majority of UV light, if not all of it.
Northern filters all UV light, making this a safe and effective happy lamp for bright light therapy.
Contrastingly, the Carex light therapy lamp blocks 99.3 percent of UV light
while projecting light downward, as recommended by experts for maximum effectiveness.
With its capability to filter out all UV light, Northern outmatches its competition,
which is why our team has given it a point in this match.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their Eye Protection.
The importance of light in vision cannot be overstated. It reflects off surfaces and
enters your eyes, allowing you to see. However, it can sometimes be the source of vision issues
such as halos or glare. To avoid damaging your eyes, make sure the lamp therapy you will buy
will have a feature that can protect your eyes. Northern has glare-free fluorescent bulbs that
emit a bright, comfortable diffuse light that mimics natural sunlight.
On the contrary, Carex is equipped with a white diffusing lens that . Its high-efficiency
electronic ballasts ensure that the lights do not flicker and that the lighting is consistent.
Both Northern and Carex have a glare-free feature that will protect your eyes from any harm.
As a result, we've chosen to award a point to each of the two products in this category.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their Style.
When it comes to elevating the style of your interiors, lamps should not be overlooked.
If you want to add some color or texture to your space, an interesting lampshade will do the trick.
Northern can be mounted on a wall, elevated on a stand, or placed directly on a desk.
Its stand has a unique design that allows you to adjust the angle at which the light shines.
Meanwhile, the Carex sunlight lamp with a modern design for home or office meets expert
bright light therapy criteria. It also comes with a light therapy box that is based on a
model used by international researchers and two light settings for effective light box therapy.
Who wouldn't want a therapy lamp that is not only attractive but also functional and can be
placed anywhere in the house? Having said that, it is no doubt that the Northern wins this round!
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their Size.
Make sure the lamp's size is appropriate for the space where you ll put it. You
don't want to put a large lamp on a small table because it will not only look out of proportion
but may also be knocked over. Likewise, a very small lamp will look out of place in a large room.
The Northern Light Desk Lamp has lamp height and angle adjustments,
allowing you to get the most out of the desk lamp. Its compact size makes it the ideal light
for a morning cup of coffee and a good book. On the other hand, Carex has a large 16 by
13-inch screen, which allows you to get the full 10,000 LUX with a more powerful,
efficient treatment. It also has a large size, and a height adjustable head for wider coverage.
It s hard to come up with a winner for this round since each has its own unique features.
So we've assigned a point value for each product. We'll let you choose which one is your best bet
based on the amount of space you have. Our brand wars between the Northern
and the Carex Light Therapy Lamps have come to an end. With 5 points to Carex's 2 points,
the Northern is definitely the winner. There can only be one Light Therapy Lamp monarch,
and Northern has ascended to the throne as the best Light Therapy Lamp in this battle!
However, we are hopeful that Carex will make a comeback in our future brand wards videos.
And there you have it folks the battle between the Northern ****and the Carex has finally ended.
