However, the Lumie Vitamin L Slim Light Box has been rated a high 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 2000 reviews. One person said: “Powerful, significant and instant benefits.
“I don’t have to tell a detailed story to explain to anyone in the UK the struggles of winter weather. Cold, grey and miserable despite my best attitude possible.
“I’d say within 45 seconds and I adjusted to the intensity I felt 50% more awake and I knew why this made sense as a purchase. In the summer, I go outside first thing and the sun wakes me up and I’m ready for the day, my Lumie light is just a replacement during the winter months.
“I had a significant and noticeable difference in how I felt. I found it best for a few hours in the morning before the dark grey sky turns a slightly lighter grey, off during the day when I’m awake and I turn it back on from 4pm onwards until about 8pm when I’d like to be tired.”
Another user wrote: “This is simply the brightest thing to have ever existed.” Not everyone fully agreed, for example one shopper said: “Purchased this Lumie to try and improve sleep quality or lack of it.
“I tried for five days and seemed to make no difference. Will persevere for longer when possible.
“I have owned two previous Lumie products and like this Vitamin L device the quality is excellent. Hope to add more positively to this review in future.” Another said: “Only just started to use it so cannot say if it’s made any difference as yet, as it’s something that needs to be used for a period if time. Light is bright & comfortable.”
