> Thanks for clarifying about the time to use lightboxes. Do you know if it's ok to look directly into them or not? I read that it's preferable but sb417 read that you shouldn't. I wonder if different companies publish different directions. I have a SunBox.

I forget exactly the language used, but they suggest reading, with the light opposite your book/magazine, for example. In other words, a downward eye position, with the light at or above the horizontal plane. Something like that.
But the Northern Lights light is one of the brighter ones, if I recall correctly.
