Verilux SmartLight Review and Giveaway!

As a blogger, I frequently check www.tomoson.com to see if there any products available for review that I think you might find interesting.  When I saw the Verilux SmartLight, it intrigued me to say the least.  A desk lamp with patented Natural Spectrum® Daylight that claims to help you read faster with stronger comprehension, study longer without eyestrain while improving productivity and focus.  Sign me up!

I get headaches when the light around me is too harsh so the idea of a lamp that mimics natural light really appealed to me.  When we received our SmartLight, I was very happy with the light it gives out.  It is a nice, bright, white light that really helps the words pop on whatever you are reading.  The day we set up the lamp she sat at her desk for quite awhile working on various things.  First, she pulled out a match game.  Later, she colored and did art for a bit.  I was truly surprised later in the day when she completed a word search and didn't give up until she found every word!  That was a first.  Now, I can't necessarily contribute that to the lamp but I did feel like her focus was improved.

 I asked my husband to try the lamp out while he was studying so I could get his opinion.  He wasn't as impressed as C and I were.  Specifically, he wished the light from the lamp covered a larger area.  He felt that the book he was working out of was well lit but his writing space beyond it wasn't.  He did appreciate the crisp light as he was reading though.

The lamp comes in your choice of white or graphite.  The bulb is quite large and unfortunately it is pretty pricey to replace.  The good news is that it should last for 10,000 hours! I love the flexible neck, it is perfect for getting the light right where I need it.  Overall, I am really happy with the lamp and I recommend it.  One of you will get to try the Verilux SmartLight for yourselves because Verilux is going to give one lucky Joy Focused Learning reader their very own SmartLight!  Enter to win using the widget below and good luck!
