Description

Start dark mornings brighter with a light therapy lamp designed to live on your desk. The TheraLite Aura light therapy desk lamp delivers 10,000 lux of warm, UV-free light from a slim overhead neck and small base, so you can read, answer email, or plan your day during a 20 to 30 minute morning session. When your session ends, lower the brightness and keep it on as a sunlight desk lamp for the hours ahead. At 3.85 lbs, it's an easy way to bring light therapy into the space where you already spend your winter mornings.

How to Use - Three Easy Steps

1. Set Up at Your Desk
Place the Aura about 12 inches away and turn the knob to angle the light head down toward your eyes, so the light reaches you from above.

2. Start Your Morning Session
Tap the power button and set the highest brightness for 20 to 30 minutes soon after waking. Keep your eyes open without looking directly at the light.

3. Keep the Glow Going All Day
Lower the brightness and use it as your desk light. A consistent morning routine helps keep your body clock in sync, supporting steadier energy through your workday.

How it Works - What Studies Say

Morning Light Sets Your Body Clock
Bright light reaching your eyes is one of the strongest cues your circadian rhythm uses to keep time, shaping when you feel alert and when you feel ready for sleep. Light therapy helps fill the gap when mornings are dark or spent indoors.

Research-Backed Support for Brighter Moods
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 Aura delivers that same 10,000 lux at 12 inches, so a 30 minute session fits easily into your workday routine.

A Routine That Supports Better 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. Using the Aura at the same time each morning helps you build that consistency.

Such a bright and uplifting light....

I absolutely love this light! I have noticed a difference in my energy levels and mood right from the first use. I live in an area where the winters are long and dark and this lamp helped me make it through. I think it would be a great addition to anyone's daily routine.

Therapy lamp has great functionality.

I cannot evaluate the therapeutic value of the lamp because I have only been using it for 2 weeks. I do love the lamp itself. it is a good size for my desk, The quality of the light is great, bright without glare, and the intensity of the light can varied substantially.

Just get me through the winter

I like the adjustable angle and the fact that it has some UV. I angle it slightly away from me and keep it one while I work at a desk. It helps. I don’t feel like crawling into a hole at the end of the short cloudy day.

One of Each Size

After only two weeks I already sleep better and I’m less depressed.

how to use is baffling

Instructions did not contain information about differences in the 5 light settings
Illustrations show individuals facing the light fixture while others have the light over their shoulder which is confusing. It was difficult to find a location to place the light so that it was 12-24" distance

Everyone Should Have One of These Lamps on Their Desk During Fall & Winter

Compact design; effective light output comparable to units far more costly. I turn it on every morning to wake up to the sense of being under the sun at the beach, without the heat or tanning rays, and raises my spirits.

Love it!

This light is working great to make me feel more energetic and less lethargic. Low light has affected me more as I age. This year it hit me extra hard. It's too cold and there isn't much sun where I live. This light is just the right size and I can use it first thing in the morning to reset my whole system.

I feel better already

I bought the lamp to get a head start on seasonal blues. I sit under it every morning while I drink my coffee. I feel better already!

For the price, the Aura is a good desk buddy

I purchased an Aura lamp to use as a desk light for my home office and another for my adult son to try as a wakeup lamp. The lamp seems sturdy and we appreciate the adjustable angle of the lamp head. The wide base makes a great "perch" for our small clocks. The light itself is bright and steady (no flickering observed so far). For the desk, it also helps with those early afternoon virtual meetings, providing both light therapy and background lighting. The one drawback we have found is the way the touch-button controls are set up. It would be nice to have the lamp come on at the desired light setting. Instead, touching the power button "ramps up" the level of brightness until it stops at the highest setting. Then you can adjust it downward from there. Whether for waking up or for desk work, reversing the setup would be preferred: start at the lowest setting and press the "+" to increase the brightness.

Helps my anxiety greatly!

Love my THERALITE AURA 10,000 LUX MOOD light but the only downside of mine is that I can’t adjust the angles. It’s so heavy that when I try to put at any other angle than straight up, it’s closes fully down. Makes me wonder if I’m missing a part?

I love my Theralite Aura!!!

My Theralite was simple to assemble, and I love how I can adjust the distance of the light. It looks cool, too! I've used other therapeutic lights but I love this one the most due to its high quality, adjustable settings, and overall design. I'm a big believer in using bright light therapy for mood, and I look forward to using this light each morning.

Packs a big punch

This is perfect for those who need the light but don't have a lot of space for the bigger lights. This light still has all the brightness you need. I sit under it all day at work, but then again I'm a bright light therapy junky.

Great sun lamp

Lamp totally works for me, stops me from bumming out in the mornings.

Wish I Had This Last Year!

I was skeptical on light therapy until I bought this on Amazon on a whim. I turn it on in the mornings and lay in bed for a 20-30 minutes with it on me. I feel like it charges my batteries as I don't need to drink coffee like I used to(still drink it though). No longer a skeptic, reco!

Died after 11 months after purchase! Terrible!

Great if it works, but that won't be for long. Died after just 11 months and maybe 20 hours use total. Save your money, or maybe buy some weed to help with the winter blues.

Is Warm 3000K Light Still 10,000 Lux?

Yes. Brightness is measured in lux, not color, and the TheraLite Aura delivers 10,000 lux at 12 inches, the same output as a full-size light box. The 3000K tone just means it looks like a warm desk lamp on dark mornings instead of a bright white panel.

What If the TheraLite Aura Isn't Right for Me?

Send it back. Every order is covered by our 60-day return policy, and the TheraLite Aura is backed by a one-year warranty. It's also FSA/HSA eligible, so you can use those funds to try it.

How Do You Use a Light Therapy Lamp?

Sit about 12 inches from the lamp for 20 to 30 minutes soon after waking, with the light angled down toward your eyes. If you'd rather sit farther back, the user guide suggests about 60 minutes at 18 inches.

What Lux Level Should a Light Therapy Lamp Be?

Look for 10,000 lux at a realistic sitting distance, not just a few inches away. The TheraLite Aura delivers 10,000 lux at 12 inches and blocks 100% of UV light.

How Does the TheraLite Aura Compare With the Aura Qi?

Both deliver the same 10,000 lux of warm 3000K light with four brightness settings. Choose the Aura for a simple, compact desk lamp, or the Aura Qi for a bedside lamp with a built-in alarm clock and wireless phone charging. Both are FSA/HSA eligible.

How Do Light Therapy Lamps Work?

Bright light reaching your eyes is a key cue for your circadian rhythm, the internal clock behind daytime alertness and nighttime sleepiness. On dark winter mornings, a short session at the same time each day matters more than an occasional long one.
