Because the lamp stays still. You don’t.

A traditional SAD lamp means positioning yourself in front of it while you use it. Glees brings the light with you, so you can make coffee, get dressed, do your hair, pack your bag or start work without putting your morning on hold.

You’re not buying Glees because traditional lamps are useless. You’re buying the freedom not to plan your morning around one.

We include the 10,000 lux lamp because some mornings you’ll be sitting still and some mornings you won’t.

Glees when you’re moving. The lamp when you’re not. You get both.

Yes. That’s the whole point.

Glees sits above your normal line of sight, directing light toward the eye area without asking you to stare into the LEDs or stop what you’re doing.

Make breakfast. Get dressed. Do your hair. Check your emails. Start work.

Instead of waking up earlier to squeeze in another “good-for-you” routine, put Glees on and carry on with the morning you already have.

Use Glees in the morning, as close to waking as your routine allows.

For winter-morning use, 30 minutes once each morning is a strong starting point. Glees supports 15, 30 and 45-minute sessions, so you can fit the session around your morning.

The underlying timing matters: standard bright-light guidance recommends morning exposure within the first hour after waking, we recommend 20-30 minutes immediately after waking.

So the simple routine is:

Wake up → put Glees on → set 30 minutes → get on with your morning.

No sitting still. No staring at the light.

Think days and weeks — not months.

Bright-light therapy generally begins producing noticeable effects within a few days to a few weeks. We recommend consistent daily use for at least 7 days.

A good rule is:

Use Glees every morning for 7–14 days before judging the difference.

Pay attention to the things winter normally makes harder: getting out of bed, feeling awake, finding your momentum and feeling more like yourself during the day.

Consistency matters far more than one perfect session.

In short yes. Glees is supported by science first data showing wearable light therapy is perfectly safe.

If you have an existing eye condition such as glaucoma, cataracts or retinal/optic-nerve problems, or take medication that makes you unusually sensitive to light, speak to your doctor or eye-care professional before use. This is also consistent with Mayo Clinic guidance for bright-light therapy.

More information:

Bright-light therapy has reassuring long-term eye-safety data when used correctly.

In one study, researchers found no ocular changes after 2–8 weeks of bright-light therapy, and no ocular abnormalities in long-term users treated seasonally for 3–6 years, with cumulative exposure reaching as high as 1,250 hours.

Glees are worn with your eyes open, but you do not stare directly into the light. The light source sits above your normal line of sight and directs light downward toward the eyes while you continue with your day.

That’s why you get 60 days to decide.

The evidence around morning bright light gives you a much shorter initial window to assess it: effects commonly begin within days to a few weeks, and we recommend at least 7 days of consistent use.

So use Glees properly. Give them 7–14 consistent winter mornings. Wear them while you actually live your routine rather than testing them once or twice and forgetting about them.

Then decide for yourself.

If Glees haven't earned a place in your morning within the 60-day trial, send them back for a refund under our guarantee.

Yes.

Glees can be worn over normal prescription glasses. Put your regular glasses on first, then position Glees above them so the frame underneath doesn't block the light reaching your eyes.

We recommend wearing the light-therapy glasses outside your prescription frames when both are needed.

They should sit high enough that your normal field of vision stays clear, but low enough that the light reaches the eye area correctly.

Glasses on. Glees over the top. Carry on with your morning.

Avoid wearing them over heavily tinted or coloured lenses, because those can interfere with the light reaching your eyes.
