> Are they easy to set up?Yes they are quite expensive... ranging from 200 - 400 dollars. The one I got was around 300 CN I believe.
It's important to get a light box that is made specifically for SAD sufferers though. Do it your self models, or grow lights are either not strong enough to have any appreciable benefit or they emit ultraviolet rays which are damaging to the eyes.
The one I got that's called a Litebook I bought at a Shoppers Home Health care store not too far from where I live. You may have to order one off the internet though since not that many stores carry them.
Also check to see if your benefits will pay for the cost. With a prescription from a doctor some benefits cover light boxes.
