Panel geometry
A larger light-emitting surface changes how the source presents itself in a room. Look at the dimensions along with the illumination figures.
Explore how illuminance, distance, physical size and power work together. Useful comparisons without guesswork.

Illuminance is measured where the light reaches you. A bright-light lamp can be described as 10,000 lux, but that figure is only useful when paired with how far away the measurement was taken. Compare the BOXelite’s up-to-14-inch distance with the shorter distances on smaller models.
The physical shape is part of the equation: a broad luminous panel can distribute diffuse light across a larger apparent source, while more compact formats call for closer attention to their intended positioning.

A larger light-emitting surface changes how the source presents itself in a room. Look at the dimensions along with the illumination figures.
A 20 W compact LED design is not the same as a 72 W broad-panel lamp. Power draw describes consumption; it does not directly replace a lux measurement.
A desk may favour an upright rectangle, a pyramid or an adjustable format. Allow space for the base, cable and intended viewing distance.
Start with a comfortable setup that respects the product’s guidance. Keep the light positioned as directed, avoid staring directly into bright sources and consider whether any health-related questions warrant professional advice.
Bright-light therapy products are not interchangeable with ordinary room lamps. Intended use, timing and distance matter.
Questions answered
Practical factors to examine before selecting a lighting format.
Light intensity at your position changes with distance. Published lux figures are meaningful when compared at the respective manufacturer-stated distance, rather than in isolation.
No. Wattage is electrical power draw, while lux measures illuminance. Reflector design, light source, distance and other optical properties also influence the light reaching a surface.
A broad rectangular panel, a steel pyramid and a repositionable rectangular lamp each address different physical layouts. Consider both the dimensions and the practical setup of the device.
Preferences, intended use, available space and any relevant professional guidance vary. Compare product information and follow each manufacturer’s instructions rather than assuming one format fits everyone.
