luminette 3 Light Therapy Glasses - Wearable Light Therapy Lamp - Natural Relief for Sleep Problems, Seasonal Mood Disorders & Jet lag - Portable Daylight Lamp - 300,000 Satisfied Users (Blue)

I have been looking into solutions for light therapy after reading about the effectiveness and was surprised to find light therapy glasses. I have been using these for better sleep and better visibility during the day from wear and tear working on a computer 40+ hours of the week. So far, so good. I really like the fact you can wear these around the house at your own leisure. If I am doing things standard tasks around the house or just curled up on the couch, I put them on to get the wear time. I am seeing an overall benefit but you do need to use them daily. I find if I skip a day, the benefits aren’t as noticeable. When I do wear them its anywhere from 15-30 minutes – again just depends on what I’m doing around the house. For me, benefits have been much more alert & less strain felt on my eyes. What I like: How easy it is to wear them, they are snug and don’t fall off, very comfortable to wear, comes with a nice travel case, and re-chargeable – very practical and no need to keep purchasing batteries. It comes with extra nose pieces too, which is always appreciated to have an extra set aside should the current piece get wear and tear. Overall I really like these and would highly recommend if you are looking for a solution to better sleeping, better alert, less tired eyes – usage has been outstanding for me!

These glasses are magic. That's the only way I can describe the effects that I have noticed over the past 4 weeks of wearing them. I am a male in his early 30s who is in excellent physical and mental health. However, ever since a very young child (elementary school!) I have gotten up very early. Sometimes, 4am-5am, which to me is OK. But there have been times throughout my life where I would be getting up as early as 2am, for basically no reason. Working from home means I can work at any hour I want, and I got into a habit of doing this, because the house and my home office/studio is very quiet at those hours. In fact, nearly a decade ago, it saved my life, as my apartment building caught fire at 3am, and I was the only one awake. I called 911, simply because that is when I am awake. Everyone made it out (everyone on the top floor, including a baby, had to be rescued via the fire department with rescue ladder trucks as the entire hallway was up in flames) - but the fire chief who was on scene later that morning said they got there within "minutes" of people on the first floor being overcome by the smoke. I felt like I had been in that apartment for some reason. And my early morning waking was a big part of it, though I often think I just got lucky in that case. Nevertheless, it has sometimes felt impossible to stay asleep longer than this 2-3am thing. I remember thinking, how do people actually stay in bed so long? I have not had an alarm clock wake me up in decades. To much of the amusement of my friends, and occasionally, even doctors, I have expressed how I wish I could sleep in ! Many people say, damn, "I wish I was like you!". It has it's advantages, especially for morning shift work, which I have done nearly my entire professional career; 6am-2pm shifts in public safety dispatch, air traffic control, and such. Yet, the issue here is I, for many years, would be sleepy by 8-9pm, and it was something I have always wanted to try to shift. Even if I went to bed at 11pm or later, I would still be up at 2-3am. I have spoken to doctors about this, and it's not insomnia (my sleep cycles are actually excellent). I have heard at least one person describe this as an 'evolutionary advantage'. I don't know if I'd go that far. LOL. Basically, it became fairly obvious that I did not have insomnia, or any issue with my sleep itself. I got tired, I slept, and I naturally woke up. But it simply happened on a shifted cycle, one that was a few hours advanced than the planet. Indeed, I thus finally came to realize that I was one of the rarest of the 'circadian rhythm challengers': a young person who did not have delayed sleep phases, but actually had the truly elusive and often overlooked ADVANCED sleep phase disorder. This is common in older people. But apparently I've always had it. And there's a lot of evidence it's tied to genetics (I have family members who have this, too). But - wearing the Luminette 3 for one or two sessions in the mid afternoon, in just over 4 weeks, has pushed my sleep a full TWO HOURS. I have been naturally awake until around 10pm now, and I am now getting up around 4-5am consistently. I haven't seen 2am on my clock in weeks. Furthermore, I am absolutely less tired throughout the day, and my Fitbit sleep and stress scores all improved. Of note, my heart rate variability also improved by almost double. I was very skeptical of this device, simply because I did not understand how powerful circadian entrainment can be. But, wow. I am convinced now. I also have a few pairs of Spectra479 blue-blockers, for use later on in the day, too. My only critique, and it's more or less just a suggestion, but it should be explained that, removing the protective blue film that is over the hologram is a bit confusing and can put the functionality of the device at risk. I figured it out, but I could see how someone could actually inadvertently rip the entire hologram off the device; which is the centerpiece of the technology. So, the company should better explain this, or just ditch the protective film all together. All in all, this is not enough to detract from my personal opinion of these, which is that they are a true 5/5 device, and one that has greatly improved my life.

First of all, compared to other options I've had in the past, this one has a nice industrial design and is pretty solid and stable. It's easy to turn on and off with the single button and the way the lights light up it's easy to control . It's easy enough to be able to plug in and charge up. Eyewear glasses, and I was quite impressed with how well the adjustable nose bridge fit behind my glasses rims. If you have a wide face or large head, this is where it's a problem. Because it's made of pretty solid plastic, it will not bend or flex very much around your head. I tried dipping the back half of the wings in hot water, which did soften them up a little bit, but there's no easy way to stop it from squeezing too hard at the temples. So give it a try, I think you'll probably be happy with them, just know that if you have a wide face or a large head you'll know within the first couple hours worth of trying them if you'll be able to withstand the squeeze on your head for the months you'll be using it in the winter time.

I love these glasses, which free me from being chained to a light box! Helps me realign wake time when travel, also works for SAD. I can do other things in my morning routine while wearing them, make and eat breakfast, brush teeth, etc. Sits very solidly on nose, over my glasses, extremely comfortable, I forget I have them on. Nice case. My only beef it the charger, which is really short, so annoying to use. Requires a charge every 3 or so uses for me (depends on how long use, and at what intensity. I use the highest.)

I bought this item 15 months ago. It is a great idea, but the plastic is so flimsy that it broke after a few months. I put it back together with a rubber band, but it has broken again today and there is no way to fix it. I am sorry I spent $200 on this.

Purchased direct from Luminette as these weren’t available on Amazon at the time. I tried every light there was. White, blue and green light Therapy and various brands. A few details that make the average light therapy product less convenient than it should be is that 1) distance to the light source is everything. 2) that distance is waaay less than you think (typically under 12” to see maximum benefit from a high lux light). Most people do not use the standard type SAD lights anywhere near that close, the lux to your eyes falls off dramatically over distance. 3) standard type SAD lights do serve a purpose and can be nice to have as a quality CRI light source that may off some benefit. 4) standard high lux SAD lights are a giant hammer when what you really need are more precisely targeted light frequencies over raw lumen. Though, again, I do think broad spectrum light IS helpful as an adjunct to the Luminette device when you are working at the desk, computer, reading etc. The issue I had with the majority of lights is that I got little benefit. I had to guess at whether I was in fact seeing a benefit. For me, my deepest winter SAD symptom is increased food cravings. This is the final boss for me and when I absolutely know I’m deep in it, and may have screwed up by not starting treatment sooner. It’s remarkable to seasonally find yourself ravenous and needing to muscle through winter to keep the body weight stable. For others their worst manifested SAD symptom may be different, but I think we all have that one thing that lets us know that what we are doing to treat SAD isn’t working or to know we should have been treating it sooner and not let it go that far; loss of interest in things and depression being super common. Luminette was a Hail Marry if ever there was one for me. I ignored this product for too long thinking it couldn’t be a serious treatment, not enough LUX, not enough LED’s…surely... …well I had to order it direct as Amazon was not an option, but no product, absolutely not one single product of the hordes of products I tried to treat my SAD with over the years, even came close to what this did for me. You cannot make SAD go away completely, at least mine won’t, but the massive improvement of all symptoms in LESS than 7 days (7 to 14 days being the typical wait and see period for most lights) blew my mind. It was the first time in all these years I felt I had experienced relief of my symptoms. Keys to success. If you have a more flexible morning schedule during wake up time due to a later shift vs. straight out the door to work, set your alarm to wake up the same time every day. Period. No matter what. If you have SAD and messed up sleep like a lot of us do with exhaustion during the morning and endless mental energy at night, set the morning alarm and stay with it no matter what. The bed time tends to take care of itself after treatment takes effect. Also, don’t hesitate to use this around when it gets dark in your region. Where I am, in the summer it’s light until 10:30 and in the winter it’s dark by 5. So this time of year, I would begin to use it by 5 for 20min on high to gain the best effect. This is the hardest one for me to integrate, but if and when I do, it works the best. Just use it when there would normally be light but there isn’t anymore. It will not interfere with sleep. I absolutely recommend this product and as strange a setup as it is with its fewer LED’s and the hologram sticker/reflector, this is THE product. The splitting off of the blue light frequency is brilliant and avoids the use of blue LED’s which have higher photonic energy and, as postulated, may lead to issues later on like macular degeneration. This is a safe product based on my own deep dive into it and meets the standard for its medical claims. Worth the try, give it time to work, lots of people seem to find 4 days results in improvements, but give it a full 2 weeks as the majority will respond in this time frame. Having this on your face like glasses solves the proximity issue and sidesteps the lux issue as well as the potentially deleterious blue LED light issue while targeting the specific receptors that help regulate circadian rhythm. This is why this product is one of the most elegant solutions around right now.

Pour ma part j'avais des migraines chroniques, devenant très handicapantes avec le temps sur mon activité professionnelle. Il se trouve que je suis quelqu'un qui passait trop de temps sur un ordinateur en télétravail, et cela sans mettre les pieds dehors... Donc un manque flagrant de soleil dans ma vie quotidienne. Insomnies chroniques, migraines chroniques au point que ma tête allait exploser... Des difficultés grandissantes à faire mon travail, Un stress et le coeur qui bat au moment de dormir la nuit, et au final des envies de dormir à n'importe quelle heure durant la journée... bref mon horloge interne était complètement déréglée. Ces luminettes sont à l'heure actuelle une aide précieuse afin de re-régler mon horloge interne ! Je les portent deux fois 1 heure par jour (petit déjeuner puis en début d'après midi), soit 2 heures au total et je commence en moins d'une semaine à retrouver un sommeil +/- paisible. Cela va en s'améliorant, mais c'est sûr ça n'est pas en 1 semaine que l'on va re-régler des années de mauvaises pratiques... Toutefois je sens vraiment la différence en même pas une semaine, mes migraines ont baissées en intensité, voir ont commencés à disparaître, et aller dormir la nuit n'est plus aussi stressant. Finis les tisanes anti-stress depuis 1 semaine alors qu'avant c'était automatique ! Cela prouve bien qu'il y a amélioration! De plus je ne dors absolument plus la journée... Ou alors 1 seule sieste de 30 min sur ces 5 derniers jours. On est loin des 5 siestes de 1h d'avant... Mon humeur générale tend vers plus de positivité, et j'ai tout simplement plus d'énergie tout au long de la journée. Donc oui ces lunettes sont chères... mais quand c'est pour votre santé, il ne vaut mieux pas regarder à la dépense. Perso je suis content de pouvoir mettre enfin un traitement naturel sur mon problème... Car j'avais consulté quelques médecins et on tâtonnait sans vraiment savoir de quoi il était question.

Jag kör 20-30 min varje morgon så fort jag vaknar och det hjälper verkligen bra mot min säsongsdeppression. Jag har haft en vanlig lampa och kört 5-10 min under frukosten men det funkar inte alls. Det verkar som att avståndet från ögonen samt konsekvent belysning i minst 20min är medicinen. Rekommenderas starkt till alla som lider under höst och vinter.

Mi nivel de energía en las mañanas era muy bajo. Desde las 6am hasta alrededor de las 10am sólo pensaba en dormir. Me sentía cansado y adormilado. Comencé a salir un ratito al sol y noté qué me ayudaba, pero desafortunadamente la luz de sol pega bien en dónde trabajo hasta las 9-10, siempre y cuando no esté nublado. Está solución ha resultado de maravilla. Me siento mucho mejor por las mañanas. La uso inmediatamente al despertarme.
