Not all that it's cracked up to be
Before you buy this product, read this review.
I always get the winter blues, especially living in Cleveland, Ohio. As soon as the sun starts shining more, I feel better.
So, I thought getting this light would be a great way to get some "sunlight" to make me feel better. I figured I'd turn it on in the bathroom while getting ready for work, and again in the evening while working on the computer or watching tv. It was not an easy decision, due to the price, but I thought I would try it.
After I unpacked the light all excited to try it, I read the pamphlet....
You need to sit in front of this light for HOURS--not 30 minutes, not 1 hour--think 4 hours within 3 feet of this light.
And you should not use it in the evening because it will disturb your normal sleep-wake cycle, keeping you awake at night!
So, unless you have a strict desk job, or have the time to sit in front of this light for 4 hours a day before 5pm, don't waste your money on this product!
