Description

Keep your morning light routine wherever the week takes you. The TheraLite Mini Light Therapy Lamp is a travel light therapy lamp that weighs 1.5 lbs and closes into its own cover, so it goes from a carry-on to a hotel desk in seconds. Open the stand, pick an angle, and get 10,000 lux of warm, UV-free light for a 30 minute session while you read or check email. The original TheraLite, from the makers of Day-Light, is travel size light therapy that runs on 100-240V outlets, so the session is the same at home or away.

How to Use - Three Easy Steps

1. Open the Cover and Set the Stand
Unclip the two clips, swing the cover under the lamp, and slot the stand tab into one of three angles. Loosen the back knob to raise the lamp or turn it portrait or landscape, then place it to the left or right of your line of sight, about 10 inches away.

2. Start Your Morning Session
Slide the switch on 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. Farther back? Sit 14 inches away for about 60 minutes.

3. Keep Your Mornings Bright Anywhere
Close the cover, drop it in your bag, and your routine comes with you. The same 30 minutes at the same time each morning, at home or on the road, 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, your days are spent indoors, or travel keeps changing where you wake up.

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 TheraLite delivers 10,000 lux at 8.5 inches, so a 30 minute session from about 10 inches away 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 packs with you makes that morning consistency easier to keep on the road.

Built to Leave the House

At 1.5 lbs with a cover that clips shut over the screen, the TheraLite rides in a laptop bag or carry-on without a case. Open it on a hotel desk or a shared office and the session is the same.

1.5 lbs

Half the weight of most small lamps, light enough to forget it's in the bag.

Hinged Cover With Clips

Two clips hold the stand closed over the screen for the trip, then swing it under the lamp to set up.

100-240V Adapter

The UL listed adapter works on hotel and overseas outlets with the right plug adapter.

Light That Meets You Where You Sit

Three stand slots set the angle at 20, 25, or 30 degrees, and the back knob raises the lamp or turns it portrait or landscape, so the light reaches your eyes at a laptop, a book, or breakfast.

Three Angle Settings

Drop the stand tab into the 20, 25, or 30 degree slot for a more or less direct session.

Height Adjustable

Loosen the knob on the back, raise the lamp to eye level, and tighten.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Small Light Therapy Lamps Effective?

Yes, as long as they deliver 10,000 lux at the distance they're rated for. The TheraLite is rated at 10,000 lux 8.5 inches from the screen, the same full-strength light as our larger lamps. Sit about 10 inches away for 30 minutes soon after waking, or 14 inches away for about 60 minutes.

Can I Take the TheraLite on a Trip?

Yes, that's what it's built for. It weighs 1.5 lbs, the stand closes over the screen as a cover, and the adapter works on 100-240V outlets, so it packs into a carry-on and sets up on a hotel desk. It's made for indoor use only.

Where Should I Position a Light Therapy Lamp?

To the left or right of your line of sight rather than straight in front of you, with the screen 8.5 to 17 inches from your eyes. On the TheraLite, the three stand slots set the angle at 20, 25, or 30 degrees, and the back knob raises it or turns it portrait or landscape.

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.

What If the TheraLite Isn't Right for Me?

Every order is covered by our 60-day return policy, and the TheraLite is backed by a one-year warranty, so you can try it with confidence. It's also FSA/HSA eligible.

How Does the TheraLite Compare With the SunLite?

Both are small, one-switch lamps with 10,000 lux of warm, UV-free light. Choose the TheraLite when the lamp travels with you: it's 1.5 lbs, closes into its own cover, and adjusts for angle and height. Choose the SunLite when it stays on a small desk: a larger 12.2" x 8.7" screen and a five-year warranty. Both are FSA/HSA eligible.
