Review: Lucimed’s Luminette Light Therapy Glasses

You might be wondering, ‘What the heck is Light Therapy?’ For a lot of the world, specifically those further away from the equator must deal with seasonal changes, which can affect the amount of sunlight we receive. We are creatures of a natural world, who evolved to fit our conditions, and so when our exposure to sunlight diminishes, things start to feel out of whack. Light Therapy is a way to combat the effects of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), where spending as little as 20-minutes a day through the winter months can improve your mood, happiness level and your brain’s ability to function at its highest level.
A lot of northern European countries like the UK, Netherlands and Belgium struggle with the depression that comes with the grey skies of winter, and so do so many of my friends and family in the US. For me, living the winter months in Ohio, I often find myself getting into a funk, to where I no longer want to go outside, where I’m lazier, less creative, less impassioned and suffer from having a lower baseline in my mood. When I’m writing, I notice it, my brain slogging along in a fog, my body energy-less and sore, and my creativity down to an alarming low, which can in-turn affect my mood as well.

There’s a reason people take vitamin-D during the winter, and there’s a reason why you feel better in the summer when you’re out and about and in the sun. And so when you’re forced indoors by the weather, light therapy can make all the difference in maintaining a healthy and happy presence and mind. I recently teamed up with Lucimed, the makers of the unique Luminette Light Therapy Glasses, which are essentially visors with LED lights that give off the right spectrum of light to activate the body’s positive response to sunlight.

The Luminette’s may not be the most fashionable eyewear on the market, but considering how powerfully healing they can be, spending 20-45 minutes a day wearing them while you complete other activity, it’s worth wearing the look. The Luminette’s are a plastic visor-like glasses that sit just above your eyes its adjustable nose rest, which incorporates LEDs attuned to the correct spectrum of blue light, by way of a hologram. Then, the light beam hits your eyes, naturally like the sun, giving you similar benefits of being outside in the sunlight, all without dazzling your eyes or obscuring your vision. Sounds space-agey, right?

Overall, the Luminette glasses are pretty cool. I’d recommend them to anyone who feels a little blue, down or depressed during the grey winter months, and to anyone who spends a lot of time indoors, and who works third shift. Especially for the third shifters, because when you work a late shift like that, where you’re sleeping throughout the day, not only is your entire circadian rhythm thrown off, but so is your light intake. The glasses fit comfortably and ergonomically, and are partially customizable with the adjustable nose rest. The glasses charge with USB/micro-USB, charging fast, and maintaining a solid charge for several uses. Also, they come with a carrying case and wall charger. All in all, I found the Luminette to work as advertised, boosting my happiness level, outlook and perspective, while also boosting my creativity and the baseline of my mood.
