Description

Bring light therapy wherever your day takes you. The Carex SunLite is a portable light therapy lamp with a slim 1.75-inch panel, a fold-out kickstand, and a detachable cord, so it sets up in seconds on a desk, side table, or kitchen counter. This small light therapy lamp has just one button and delivers 10,000 lux of warm, UV-free light at 10 inches for a 30 minute morning session. From the makers of Day-Light and backed by a five-year warranty, it's the easiest way to start light therapy.

How to Use - Three Easy Steps

1. Set It Beside You
Flip out the kickstand, plug in the cord, and place the SunLite to the right or left of your line of sight, about 10 inches away.

2. Start Your Morning Session
Press the power button and use it for 30 minutes soon after waking while you read, eat, or work. Keep your eyes open without looking directly at the light.

3. Keep It Where You'll Use It
Leave it out on the desk or fold it flat into a drawer between sessions. Consistent morning light helps keep your body clock in sync for steadier daytime energy.

How it Works - What Studies Say

Morning Light and Your Body Clock
Bright light reaching your eyes is one of the strongest cues your circadian rhythm uses to set daytime alertness and nighttime sleepiness. A short session each morning helps when daylight is limited or your days are spent indoors.

Research on Light Therapy and Mood
In a study of 177 adults with seasonal mood concerns, six weeks of daily 30 minute, 10,000 lux morning light therapy produced improvements comparable to cognitive behavioral therapy. The SunLite delivers 10,000 lux at 10 inches, so a 30 minute session matches that daily routine.

Research on Light and Sleep
A review of 53 studies found bright light therapy helped with sleep problems tied to the body clock, although results varied from person to person. A lamp that fits beside you wherever you sit makes that morning consistency easier to keep.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Light Therapy Lamp?

A light therapy lamp gives you bright, UV-free light indoors when natural daylight is limited. Most people use one for a short session each morning, and the SunLite is slim enough to fit beside you wherever you sit.

How Do Light Therapy Lamps Work?

Bright morning light reaching your eyes helps set your circadian rhythm, the internal clock behind daytime alertness and nighttime sleepiness. A short session at the same time each morning matters more than an occasional long one.

How Do You Use a Light Therapy Lamp?

Place the lamp to the right or left of your line of sight, about 10 inches away, for 30 minutes soon after waking. Keep your eyes open without looking directly at the light. For more room, sit 14 inches away for about 60 minutes.

What Lux Level Should a Light Therapy Lamp Be?

Look for 10,000 lux at the distance the lamp is rated for. The Carex SunLite delivers 10,000 lux at 10 inches and blocks 100% of UV light.

What If the Carex SunLite Isn't Right for Me?

Every order is covered by our 60-day return policy, and the Carex SunLite is backed by a five-year warranty, so you can try it with confidence.

How Does the SunLite Compare With the TheraLite Mini?

Both are small, one-switch lamps with 10,000 lux of warm, UV-free light. Choose the SunLite when the lamp stays on a desk or counter: a larger 12.2" x 8.7" screen and a five-year warranty. Choose the TheraLite Mini when it travels with you: 1.5 lbs with a built-in cover and an adjustable angle. Both are FSA/HSA eligible.
