We have a Bottled Sunshine lamp in our bedroom. When I am getting ready to go to bed, the warm evening light is so inviting and comforting. And in the morning, I love how energizing the natural morning light is - makes me feel ready to go tackle the day (even before coffee!)

We have been using the lamp extensively for two months and we LOVE it. Our house gets plenty of natural sunlight during the day so mostly we use the lamp at night to set the tone for our infant daughter (and ourselves). The soft, amber glow is beautiful and really helps as a cue for our household to start winding down once the sun sets. It’s basically the only light we use after 9pm to make sure our baby isn’t getting mixed messages during late night or early morning feedings.

One or two nights each week I have late evening conference calls with China-based coworkers and using bottled sunshine has made all the difference. Instead of feeling ‘wired’, bottled sunshine casts a soft candle-light glow making it easier to relax and fall asleep after my calls end.

I have SAD and for a number of years I have used blue light therapy from August when the sky is a different shade of blue to approximately Feb or March when the sky is the right shade of blue. Bottled Sunshine helps with my feeling of depression. Recently I worked in my office for a longer period of time than usual and I noticed how good I felt. I can only speak for myself but I actually feel calmer and less stressful when I am bathed in ‘the light’. Bottled Sunshine is now in my box of tricks to help with my depression.

The Bottled Sunshine lamp is at home in our combination kitchen/family room. It is on an alcove by the windows. I live in a foggy, cool area with mostly cool weather and marine layers in the morning and sometimes all day. Having the warmth of the lamp changes the entire feeling of the kitchen. I learned early on from my mother the power of lighting in a room. I never use overhead lights (at home or at the office). Lighting is the most important stylistic element when it comes to interior design. Any room looks better with high quality lighting. Overhead lighting provides a harsh glare. A lamp like this turn a room into a cozy retreat.

I live in Michigan which has long winter with grey sky on most days. Bottled Sunshine sits at the center of our kitchen island and lets us forget the outside. Its changing light from warm to cool gets my kids active and going out the door in the morning and then the shift from cool to warm calms them down as we finish dinner and get ready for bed. It is really setting the rhythm of our house.
