Feel better with light therapy – do you know the benefits?

Interest in light therapy lamps has grown even more in recent years. We interviewed our lighting product manager Katja Roiha about the light therapy trend and put together this helpful article based on that conversation. So keep reading if you're interested in using a bright light lamp!

What are therapy lights all about?

Research shows that light—and therefore lighting—fundamentally affects people, as it regulates our natural circadian rhythm. In Finland, however, natural light is scarce during late autumn and winter, which can cause fatigue or make waking up difficult for some people. This is where various therapy lights, such as wake-up lights or bright light therapy lamps, can help by supporting your circadian rhythm and overall well-being.

It's important to remember that people experience the benefits of therapy lights differently. One person might find a wake-up light extremely helpful in their daily routine, while another might not notice much difference. Roiha recommends trying them out yourself to see which therapy light works best for you.

Therapy lights should generally be suitable for all healthy individuals. If you have any eye conditions, check with your doctor to ensure it's safe to use therapy lights.

Why have therapy lights become so popular?

In recent years, people have become particularly interested in their health and well-being. This has further boosted the popularity of therapy lights, as many hope they'll have a positive impact on how they feel. Roiha believes that improved value for money and a wider selection have also contributed to their growing popularity. For example, the bright light therapy lamp range now includes stylish designer fixtures.
