I found this interesting site that has a lot of information on light devices :
www.geocities.com/HotSprings/7061/saddev.htmlI ordered by mail a 10,000 lux box from Apollo Light for $299 plus $30 shipping. They have a 30day return policy. I should get the light today or tomorrow. Their web site is
www.apollolight.comFrom what I have read since my initial post it's the intensity that matters, not whether it's full spectrum. And you want something that does not give off UV. Apparently you sit with this thing for around a half hour before 10:00 in the morning.
Norden, in his book "Beyond Prozac", indicates that he uses light therapy alot and has some sources in the index.
I'll let you know in a week or two if this thing does anything for me. I have noticed decreased energy and increased melancholia in the winter for many years now, so this is kind of interesting.
Anyone out there have seasonal affected depression ?
