I've had very good luck with it. I think it's a good adjunct for my depression, and it definitely helps me regulate my sleep/wake cycle. The lights can be expensive. I've found that as long as it's 10K lux and full spectrum, it works well for me, and I didn't have to buy a huge, $400+ unit. Sometimes insurance will cover it if you get a letter from your doctor, although mine did not.
Here are a few places to look for units:

Good luck!
