Product Description
Winter blues are a fact of life for millions of people in Britain, especially during those dark, dank months between November and February. If the cold months get you down and you long for summer climes, it might not be heat you are yearning for, but light. Lack of daylight can result in overeating, depression and loss of energy. In its extreme form it's even got a name - Sad or Seasonal Affective Disorder The only cure is a regular dose of strong artificial daylight. Recently Recognised Scientists say that it's the short days and long nights of winter that create a biochemical imbalance in the part of the brain that regulates many body functions, including sleep, moods and energy levels. "Light is vital to our well-being. As the days get shorter the body's clock can go out of sync with its rhythm of day and night. "This can result in very depressing symptoms," says Professor Chris Thompson, head of the mental health group at the Royal South Hants Hospital in Southampton. "It is a miracle. After a month you feel fighting fit whatever the weather," said one user. Treat yourself to light therapy whenever you feel like it! Remember that happy feeling you have in the summer, with the suns energy flowing through your body? You can now re-create it at home in the dark days of the winter.

Not SAD anymore, I'm H - A - P - P - Y ! January 4, 2009

OK, don't get too carried away. This is a VERY bright light that seems to work for me. Will it really chase away those SAD blues? Only you can tell and your experience may differ from mine.
I bought one of these for my office as its rather dark and doesn't get much sun, even in the summer. Placing it behind the computer monitor I found that it takes some getting used to as it is rather bright - but then that's the point. Anyway, for me it does seem to help combat those computer blues you get from spending too much time tapping on a keyboard.
You can use the light on a table top but its quite large so check those dimensions. If you don't have the desk space it will hang on a wall which may be better.
Personally speaking I did feel the light helped and as its cheaper than many of the alternatives available I was able to buy another to use in my home study. As the saying goes though, YMMV - your mileage may vary!
