Been using my light for the past 3+ months and have noticed a more alert morning and focus throughout my day. Plan on continuing using it during the early summer mornings, too.

The Aurora Light pad Mini is very bright, like a beacon in my office! Fast shipping. I think the lamp helps keep the winter blues at bay.

The light is fantastic – SO bright and helpful for light therapy for seasonal blues. Only downside is, being Canadian, it cost an arm and a leg for shipping and duties. Fab product, do recommend.

I have 2 lights from Alaska Northern Lights (one for home and one for work) and I’m very happy with the product and the company. I recommend them often to people I know. They are worth the money over other cheaper options. The compact size, adjustable brightness, and quality is notable. My older one (almost a decade old) recently stopped working, or so I thought, but it turned out it was only the power cord that needed to be replaced and it was good to go. Highly recommend to anyone who experiences seasonal mood changes.

I have their Aurora LightPad Mini. Since using it I’ve been sleeping better at night and my mood has been elevated! It’s a little bright at first but after a while I got used to it and now it’s comfortable to use.

I LOVE my light. I think I got my first lightpad from Alaska Northern Lights 5 or 6 years ago. I got a 2nd one a couple of years after that and last year one of them stopped working. Alaska Northern Lights was super easy to work with. I contacted them, I sent the lightpad in for repairs and they ended up replacing it because whatever was broken was unfixable. It is a quality product and I use it every single morning. My 12 year old son steals it if he gets up in the early morning when it’s still dark outside (although he just likes the light and has no clue when it’s intended for). It has definitely made a difference in my mood during the long, cold winter. Customer service is very responsive and the turnaround time for the repair/replacement was quick. I highly recommend this company.

very easy to use. the light hardly gets hot at all. I have been using it consistently over the last month and feel better than it was last year at the same time. even though it was somewhat pricey, I feel it was something that will last for a long time and quality made.

I’ve used Alaskan Northern Lights products for at least 15 years (large light, mini light and visor). Their products are as advertised and they provide solid customer support. As a psychologist, I’ve recommended this company dozens of times for people struggling and in need of light therapy. I’ve never received a negative report with respect to the company and/or their products. Finally, Alaskan Northern Lights products work–no doubt about it.

I ordered a lamp, probably 10 years ago. It worked great! I just needed to buy a new cord for it as the cord has been tossed around. Super helpful, could buy just the cord and my light works like it did 10 years ago! Great light, it sure lights up a room. It’s quiet bright like looking into the sun.
I put it on my desk and do my paperwork while I sit in the light. It’s a keeper for sure! Helps with my winter blues!

I use my Alaska Northern Lights lamp almost every single morning and it’s a total game-changer! It’s bright, it’s powerful, and on the days I use it, I feel like my whole mood is upgraded. I’m obsessed and I’ve now become a lifelong member of the Northern Lights fan club.

“I have had great benefit from daily use of my light box. Just having it on for 20 to 30 minutes a day has helped improve my mood and energy. As the daylight hours lessen moving into the fall and winter, the use of a light box has proven to prevent symptoms of the “winter blues.” I would strongly recommend it to friends, family, and patients if they struggle in the winter season.”

Although I live in relatively sunny southern OR, our winters can be very foggy and grey, with chilly valley inversions, especially in the mornings. After much research and advice from a friend, I purchased the Aurora LightPad Mini from Alaska Northern Lights at the end of last year. I was recovering from a broken wrist (from slipping on the ice) so my mood was especially low. The morning routine of LightPad usage helped immensely with my daily attitude. Having this light to look forward to this year makes the change of seasons a lot less dreadful!

TL;DR: While I prefer sunshine, during winter this is my go to solution. I recommend it.
The details:
I purchased the Aurora LightPad Mini back in December 2024 after in previous years I verified using a sleep tracker that I lost about half an hour of sleep a night during winter.
The results were clear after using the product for several weeks – I managed to add back about 15-20 minutes of sleep a night (again, as measured by the sleep tracker) and I kept using it until winter was done here (Washington DC region) and I could emerge outside again and bask in natural sunlight. I will start using it again come December.
While I prefer sunshine, during winter this is my go to solution. I recommend it.

I have two Alaska Northern Lights devices and have recommended them to countless friends. Even in southern California, sunshine deprivation (and the blues that go with it) is a thing.
Before buying, I researched light boxes and found the Alaska Northern Lights devices to be the most robust and well thought out.
Unlike other brands I had tried, this model is compact, which I love. For reference, I went with the small-but-mighty Aurora LightPad™ Mini.
I would not be without mine, especially on gloomy days like today. Now when it’s overcast or rainy, I’m no longer helpless –this thing lifts my energy and spirits, so I’m not at the mercy of the weather. Talk about an empowering move. I consider it an investment in my health and quality of life.
I bought the second unit for family, but ended up getting it back. So now I tuck it into my carry-on when I travel.

The benefits of extra light are real for me for most of the year. Light supplementation for me has outperformed other treatments that are much more expensive. And used in conjunction with other treatments, the results have been life changing for me. My Lightpad Mini supports my mood and cognition daily from August through April. I benefit from the extra light almost from the summer solstice on, and certainly by the end of August am realizing better creative and energetic flow than in the past. I used to wait until November to begin using it but began using it earlier and more proactively and that has really worked. For those who, like me, have struggled, I would highly recommend giving bright light a try. Alaska Northern Lights makes a top-quality product at a price which is really a no brainer. Blessings to you on your journey.

I ordered Alaska Northern’s travel light. It may be small, but it is mighty. The results are far better than other “happy lights” that I have tried over the years. Plus it is slim and easy to take along anywhere. Highly recommend.

I had a phenomenal experience with this company when I purchased my Aurora LightPad Mini, which is small but powerful. The initial cord that came with the lightbox was faulty, and when I emailed customer service, they responded within minutes with an easy resolution (provided me a shipping label to send it back, and sent a replacement that same day). Everything works perfectly now, and this product has gotten me through one Seattle winter and seems sturdy enough that it will get me through many more, especially with the lifespan of LED lights. Also love that I don’t have to replace bulbs! I would absolutely recommend both the product and the company!!

I had an Alaska Northern Lights NorthStar 10000 lamp for 20 years. It lasted through several moves and being bashed about, used at least daily during half of the year in Alaska. It finally died and I had the chance to purchase a new LightPad Mini and use it daily. Can’t beat the reliability of these products.
