You've probably noticed how just flipping a few wall switches can turn a room from a dark, sad environment into a warm and welcoming one. If waking up when the sun is still down is affecting your mood or you can't handle the winter blues, you might find one of these can elevate your sense of well-being and help you feel ready to tackle the day.

6. O’Bright FL01D-SL

It's only appropriate that the O’Bright FL01D-SL (around $69) resembles a halo because it feels like a guardian angel for your mood during those super short winter days. Boasting a maximum 6,350 lux level, it should quickly promote a sense of well-being.

Sleek and attractive design
Compatible with wall switches
Can't be pointed at a downward angle

7. Kenley Natural

If you find yourself losing steam as soon as the sun begins to dip, then the Kenley Natural (around $63) may perk you back up. It's designed to display colors accurately, rather than altering them, like some bulbs do, and is ideal for artists.

Great for reading
Heavy base keeps it steady
Only has one illumination setting

A wandering writer who spends as much time on the road as in front of a laptop screen, Brett can either be found hacking away furiously at the keyboard or, perhaps, enjoying a whiskey and coke on some exotic beach, sometimes both simultaneously, usually with a four-legged companion by his side. He has been a professional chef, a dog trainer, and a travel correspondent for a well-known Southeast Asian guidebook. He also holds a business degree and has spent more time than he cares to admit in boring office jobs. He has an odd obsession for playing with the latest gadgets and working on motorcycles and old Jeeps. His expertise, honed over years of experience, is in the areas of computers, electronics, travel gear, pet products, and kitchen, office and automotive equipment.
