Design-Focused Winter Lights

The Verilux HappyLight Helps Combat Seasonal Affective Disorder

— December 29, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Verilux HappyLight is a great product for helping to fight seasonal affective disorder (SAD.) In winter, shorter days and a propensity for overcast weather often lead to people getting less sunlight. This lack of sunlight can lead to SAD, which includes meancholy moods and even depression in some people. The Verilux HappyLight is designed to emit light that counteracts the lack of sunlight, literally and figuratively brightening people's days through the winter.

Since SAD lights are often thought of as medical equipment, they tend to reflect that in their design, with utilitarian looks that can depress people more than the lack of sunlight. The Verilux HappyLight keeps attractive design in mind. Its sleek white lines fit with much of the technological devices on the market today, meaning that it can be left out on a counter or table without being an eyesore.
Trend Themes
1. Design-focused SAD Lights - There is an opportunity for companies to develop SAD lights that prioritize both functionality and aesthetics.
2. Smart SAD Lights - There is potential for companies to create SAD lights that incorporate smart technology, such as being controllable through an app or integrating with other smart devices.
3. Portable SAD Lights - There is a possibility for companies to produce SAD lights that are compact and portable, making them accessible to those who are frequently on the go.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - Health and wellness companies can expand their product lines by creating SAD lights that offer a stylish and effective solution for combating seasonal affective disorder.
2. Technology - Tech companies can incorporate smart technology into SAD lights to provide consumers with a seamless and customizable experience.
3. Home Decor - Home decor companies can offer SAD lights that serve a purpose while still fitting in with existing aesthetic preferences.
