Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Could anyone suggest a good source to purchase a full spectrum light and what to consider when buying. A friend suggested that it might help my dad who suffers from depression. Since it is worse in the winter with less daylight, I started checking through a search engine. Of course they are advertising and I didn't really understand the concept (I'm blonde!) so I ended up more confused than enlightened. I forget how they measure the output, but it wasn't like 50, 75 or 100 watt bulbs! They they had the super lamps that add I don't know what! Can one get significant benefit from a single light bulb? If so, what strength? Also, I believe they had a flourescent tubular design and then a more conventional variety. Have thought about calling one of the manufacturers, but could use some help in formulating some intellligent questions.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 No certainly not, they do not contain the harmful rays that you get from the sun - otherwise you would be paying for the privilege of maybe getting skin cancer.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Yes you can, it does not matter how strong it is you adjust the time spent within that light accordingly. If you use a low wattage bulb then you should use it for at least 2 hours per day or put it into the room that you would spend the most time in with a light on. Do not confuse the blue daylight bulbs with full spectrum lights. Blue daylight bulbs just change the type of light you get from the bulb and do not have any health properties whatever. Full spectrum lights are the same as the ones that are used in lightboxes made for the condition S.A.D. They do not look like a 'normal' bulb although some are of similar shape.
