The legs are annoying but it's so cheap so I bought 4. If you buy a light therapy box, definitely go with a trusted brand like the ones you find at your sleep center. I'm very happy with carex as a company. I had an issue with one of the lamps and they promptly sent me a replacement, despite it being past the warranty. They even followed up with me to make sure I got it. \r\n\r\nI have it set up on a Wemo plug, but any smart plug will do.

I have a few around the house now, I can't remember which is which, and I'm currently out of town.
