Lumie Vitamin L

The Vitamin L is the lamp we'd steer most first-time buyers towards. According to Lumie's product specifications it delivers 10,000 lux at 20cm, the brightness commonly recommended for SAD light boxes (dropping to 5,000 lux at 30cm and 2,500 lux at 50cm), uses UV-free 4000K cool-white LEDs, and weighs just 0.83kg, so it happily migrates from the breakfast table to a home-office desk. A detachable stand lets you use it in portrait or landscape, and Lumie states it is certified as a Class IIa medical device and backs it with a 3-year warranty and 45-day home trial. It keeps things deliberately simple: one button, one brightness, no timer or app. That focus, plus the price, is exactly why it wins here for people who just want the standard recommended brightness without fuss.
