I had to buy a replacement bulb, and it came quickly and in perfect condition! Now my light is back to having double the power to help during the winter and on cloudy days.

When I found out I have winter blues, I searched the internet for high-quality light therapy and found Alaska Northern Lights over ten years ago. I bought a lamp and have used it ever since–it makes a noticeable difference. Even my cat loves the lightbox! I have replaced the lightbulbs as needed, and it has always been a seamless, easy process, despite the need to send long tubes of glass through the mail. Then maybe two years ago, the lamp started having some trouble. I called and customer service looked up my original order and told me the light box was still under warranty and sent a whole new lightbox, free of charge–I did not even have to pay shipping! Even though I was pretty sure I had a life-time guarantee, I was still pleasantly surprised (maybe shocked!) that they took care of it so quickly and painlessly, despite my having long ago lost the receipt. They definitely earned my lifetime loyalty.

It took a bit to arrive, but the communication about the back order was clear and dates were accurate. I purchased the desk top model for my son. It’s effective and high of quality. I will say that it is extremely bright!! I would not recommend looking directly into the light. Because it arrived after time change and the start of spring weather, I can’t give a full account of its effectiveness in the dead of winter….. but I’m optimistic! It’s great that HSA funds could be used to purchase.

I have owned a Northern Lights Northstar Bright Light Therapy Box for many years. I bought and replaced the lamps through this company. I received the products in a timely which were packed very well. I have never had a problem with service or the box/lamps.

I was prescribed this from my doctor and have found it to be very helpful. I bought the stand and it feels unsecured at first but I have found it very secure and it makes it very easy to move around so I can sit in different locations for my morning light treatment. It really adds to my routine and makes the day just a bit better.

This company and their customer support team are great! I own the largest light box they sell, and one of the ways I can tell it accurately simulates sunlight is that my cats will lay in front of the light. They don’t care about any of the other lights in the house. This product helps me very much during the winter months when there is very little sunlight where I live. I could not recommend the product or this company more.

The light and stand were easy to assemble. We have it in a dark corner facing the ceiling, so that it is indirect light for most of the morning. It has changed the mood in the house.

I love my light box! I chose this because it’s the one recommended by the VA so I trust it to be the best quality to truly affect my sleep in a healthy way. I wanted one with bulbs, as well, and this fit the bill. I’m actually having my morning session with the light box right now! Love it.

After four years of use, the NorthStar 10,000 remains a vital part of my winter wellness routine. Regulating your circadian rhythm is difficult in northern climates, and these broad-spectrum bulbs are truly best-in-class. It’s an absolute must-have for navigating the darker months.

I have been highly impressed with the dependability and quality of the original light box. For nearly 20 years it has given me the light I need to get out of bed, especially in the darkness of winter. I recently had the opportunity to interact with customer service for a seamless exchange and spoke with a real person, not an automated phone tree. Such a combination of durable products and good customer service is so rare these days. Highly recommend!

My partner suffers from very bad winter blues and I purchased two NorthStar 10,000 light boxes for her, one last year and another this year so that she could have one on each side of her. She says that if she uses them consistently that they really help her mood. The light boxes were shipped to me well packed and were easy to set up.
I highly recommend the NorthStar 10,000 to anyone.

I have had one of the mega big lights for almost eight years, and it turns on every morning via a smart switch. In all that time, I’ve only had to replace a bulb once. More importantly, my sleep schedule has never been this reliable, and I am now arguably *gasp* a morning person! I hated the tiny happy lights, but this is a game changer. I can’t recommend putting it on a timer strongly enough.
Whenever I’ve ordered from them, shipping has been fast, and the customer service has been lovely as well.

I own a NorthStar 10,000 and an older model which are mounted at either end of my wax salon. Not only is the lighting exceptional for meticulous hair removal but considering I’m indoors in my wax room the majority of my day, week, month and year , the lighting ensures I never get the blues regardless the season.

Great Company with excellent and long-lasting products. I use my old but still functioning light box year-round to illuminate my sewing area. Good and competent service; worth every penny.

Bought it several years ago and several family members have used it during long winters in New England. Handle gently but perfect size for bedroom. Easy to use and really works well.

Our light was a game changer! This has helped my husband and I so much on these long dark Michigan winter nights. I rave about it so much my bestie and massage therapist each have them now too. Additionally we love the base so we can move it around freely.

I live in Virginia. I have been using the Northstar light box from Alaska Northern Lights year-round since 2012 with outstanding results. (This is my 14th year.) By sitting beside the light box every morning, the bright light not only helps me feel better, but using it also helps me sleep well at night.

I have the 10,000 Light Box, which certainly takes up space, but it’s rated super high compared to its competitors, and it definitely works and makes me feel good. Bonus: my cats like to sleep either on top of it or right beside it when it’s on, so I have buddies around during my work week.
Side note. The box did seem to stop working, which drove me to buy new bulbs. I recognized that one of the lights must have loosened up (it fell a couple of times due to cat life) and just needed a tweak. Now I have backup lights!
In short, awesome product.

This lamp is a game changer. I have winter blues that starts in October and ends in March and this light made it so that I virtually experienced no symptoms. I had energy, I felt creative, and I felt like myself – IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY!!! That’s a luxury I ordinarily only have for about half of the year, maybe less.
Last year, I set it on my desk and sat in front of it for 10 minutes every morning (with my eyes open so that it was in my peripheral vision) when I first started noticing symptoms, then bumped it up to 20 when I felt like I needed more. That was all I needed, personally, but that will vary from person to person.
I just started using it again this week when I started noticing that I felt down and didn’t have enough dopamine to initiate and finish tasks. Just a few days of using it and I already feel better. It’s immediate. I really can’t say enough good things about it.
Be careful to use it for enough time so that you’ll get the benefit, but don’t go over – I have too much energy and have trouble sleeping if I do. A little goes a long way – but try to tune it to what works best for you.

I moved to the midwest after decades of living in the San Francisco Bay Area and San Jose. The winters have been tough for me here. The Alaska Northern Lights NorthStar – 10,000-25,000 LUX UV Free Premium Light has really helped me. It is well constructed. I use it at 24 inches which delivers 10,000 LUX. But it also delivers 25,000 LUX at 8 inches. I am very glad I bought it!
