Repeated customer over 25 years!

I have purchased 3 different products from Alaska Northern Lights over the past 25 years. My 1st box light still works; I wanted a portable light, too. I also bought one as a gift. The workmanship on these lights is incredible. They are sturdy and long-lasting—even through 3 house moves! They are a little more expensive than some SAD lights that are available, but I love the durability and I know they are worth it. The company staff is also helpful. When I got my first light box, I needed some guidance and the woman I spoke to advised me well.

GREAT customer service!

I got a small AK Northern Lights unit to help with my wintertime circadian dysruption. The first unit developed a touchy power connection after a couple of months. I called to see if they would repair the unit, and because it was still fairly new, they just replaced it within 3 days! The unit they sent also had some glitch and I emailed again thinking this time for sure I would have to await a repair. Not so! These folks take their warranty VERY SERIOUSLY and just replaced the unit again, but did want to examine it for quality control. That replacement has been flawless ever since and has definitely helped improve my dark season sleep pattern. Good medical grade product, by an honest reliable company. So rare these days!

Just get one already

I tend to get the blues in the winters of Wisconsin, so I tried out the light box, about 20 minutes every morning, and it made such a difference!! Helped me wake up, and took away my blues. Highly recommend!

Wonderful light

This light works beautifully. I had a circadian rhythm which was all messed up after years of shift work, and after using this light for several weeks, my circadian rhythm returned, and I was able to stop sleep medication. It has made a huge difference in my life.

Aurora Lightpad

I bought the Aurora Lightpad this fall at the recommendation from a friend's therapist. I have been very pleased. It is easy to use and small enough to travel with if needed. I definitely felt better each time I used it! I have recommended this brand to friends!

Great customer service

Great customer service. Light stopped working (maybe due to a poor wire connection) in the first few weeks. Likely a defect. They shipped me a new one right away that has worked great :).

Perfectly Right, For Me

I purchased the large light box mid January and have been using it for 1.5 months now. I wake up so early in the dark working from home and the winter darkness was really getting to me. Since using this in the mornings - I have it on almost an hour and it has been worth every penny. A light incomparable to my home lighting. Absolute game changer. It has boosted my mood and decreased my tired feeling. What’s funny is how my cat loves when it is on and she will sit in front of it as if she is sitting in the sun. Very cute. Prompt delivery. Easy set up. For me ~ perfectly right.

They promptly and with no fuss honored their warranty.

The light is terrific. But after almost a year of use, it suddenly stopped working. I called the company's Customer Service, and was told to just return the unit for examination and possible replacement. I did that, and just got a call saying the unit will be replaced. Can't ask for better service than that.

Great, trustworthy company and product!!

Alaska Northern Lights took excellent care of me throughout the process of buying the Aurora LightPad Mini. I had initially mis-entered my zip code on the shipping address and emailed the customer service department. They got back to me immediately with confirmation that they'd fixed my address. When the lightpad arrived, there was an issue with the cord and connection, and I again emailed customer service, who again got back to me immediately with a resolution. A new lightpad was shipped out the same day, along with shipping materials to mail back the faulty one. The replacement lightpad works perfectly, and I fully trust Alaska Northern Lights to provide amazing service on this quality product. Thanks so much!

We are very sorry that the NorthStar 10,000 Light Box is not available to ship internationally. Please keep in mind that our LED units will work with outlets up to 240V, so they are available to ship to the UK. Thanks!

I bought the mini and it has made a huge difference for my seasonal depression. Wish I had bought it sooner.

Great Company

I did my research before buying a therapy light. I settled on Alaska Northern Lights because they have the brightest lights so you can sit 24-30 inches away. Most other brands are like 12 inches. I can't imagine putting a light 1 ft from my face. Their products are high quality and I recommend them over others! Also recommend the 10,000 North Star Original if you're sensitive to light. LED light is a little more intense.

Highly Recommend

Great selection, easy order process, prompt delivery. I got exactly what I ordered and it was delivered quickly. The Lightpad mini is high quality. I bought this on sale (bonus) after investing some time in comparison shopping. I'm pleased with my decision. Highly recommend.
