> Bought a 1000 Watt halogen "workshop" light from Costco a few years ago for about 25 bucks and put it over my shoulder and about six feet from my morning newspaper (which reflect the light back in my eyes). Works like a charm. You need to change the bulbs occasionally, though.

How many lumens does a 1000 watt halogen produce? From what I understand, the research generally shows one needs at least 10,000 lumens for antidepressant effect.

How long each morning do you sit with the light reflecting into your eyes?
