> I use a light, and have recommended them. I use it every time I get up early enough to bother -- year round. (In the summer, it's usually already light out when I get up, and I am usually not as far gone as in the winter months, so it's not a daily thing.) My therapist uses one pretty much year round, too.

Sounds like you know light boxes pretty well. What is your daily exposure time?
Are any brands/models particularly good?
Are we looking for a certain wavelength? I heard that it was the intensity that was more important than the wavelength.
If anyone else has insight or experience, please chime in. I've been thinking of trying a lightbox. I've noticed that some pharmacies here rent them out, which would be a great way to give them a try before buying.
