I think they are in the United States, but if you type their names into your computer's search bar, I'm pretty sure you will find their web sites. I bought mine from Apollo Light Systems. They are in Utah, I believe. I have also heard that The Sunbox Company makes good light boxes. Both of them advertise in physicians' journals. Those are the two I'm familiar with. As I said, I bought mine from Apollo, and it's pretty good, but I heard they've had some problems with the switches. I don't know whether they've corrected those problems yet. The light box helps me a lot! I even use it in the spring and summer on overcast days. The main problem I have with it now is that I can't sit in front of it long enough. You are NOT supposed to look directly into it, but you are supposed to sit fairly close to it for at least 30 minutes to one hour. I'm usually rushing around so much in the morning that it's hard to sit in front of it that long. I have mine in the kitchen, so I make my breakfast in front of it, and sit in front of it while I eat breakfast and read the paper.
