"I was feeling tired and had trouble concentrating. The lack of light was getting me down," Leong told SAYS, when asked about what inspired her to start the company.



She then read about the important effects of sunlight on the body clock and bought the best-selling model therapy lamp which was a huge, boxy device. After only a few days of using the lamp, she reported feeling more energetic and focused.

"It was amazing. Just simple light could change the way I felt so much. But there was a problem," she continued.

"Because of how the lamp looked, my co-workers teased me endlessly about the contraption on my desk. I thought to myself, there has to be a way to make good-looking light therapy lamps. So I did!"
