Anyone use a SAD light?

I think the time has come to buy one as a gift for my sister (she has mentioned before that she wants one, but never buys it). Anyone have one they can recommend?

Seasonal Affect Disorder? My cousin has one. She has the visor type and really likes it. The only issues she has had is that it stopped holding a charge, so she had to get a new battery pack or something like that. I think this is her third winter using it. If this it not what you mean, then sorry for making you read this post.

That is exactly what I am looking for! I will look into a visor one. Thanks!

You are welcome! She likes the visor because she can wear it and still do things around the house. She can get ready for work etc. instead of just sitting there staring at a light!

Funny story: She didn't tell me about it at first and we were sharing a room in a hotel suite. We had a bathroom in our room. She got up and asked if I was up for the day; I said yes. She went into the bathroom and then came out with this visor on and green lights shining in her face! I said "What is going on right now?!!!" She told me "Shut up! It makes me feel better!".. oh dear! It was so funny because I was so surprised to see her come out of the bathroom with it on!

Because it was pricey, her then fiance bought it for her for christmas. How romantic!

He does like it. He has a huge one on a stand. I will find out the brand.

I have a verilux. I plug it in next to the computer and use it while I check email. I bought it at Costco.

I have a Philips Golite. I have it on my desk at work. I do think it has helped to make a difference. Here it the link.
