> Check out Apollohealth.com. The research they cite points to wavelength, not intensity, as most beneficial for mood. High intensity is higher risk for macular degeneration. The site also has a free circadian rhythm test. I use the M2 light twice a day for 20 to 30 minutes, at 6:30am and 7:30pm. It works for me. Don't buy the box from them, though. I found it elsewhere on line for $90 less.

>Hi Hugo,
Thanks for the info. Apollo appears to be the leader in the marketplace. I would like to give one a try for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference. Based on your circadian rhythm do you just use it in the morning? I'm unclear as to when it can be of benefit to use it in the afternoon as well...
