A "HappyLight" On My Desk?
I now live in gray, rainy Portland.
I just moved into my new office and need a desk lamp. To kill two birds with one stone, I was thinking of buying a 10,000 lux or 5,000 lux "Happy Light" (see Verilux), the kind meant to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder. I don't suffer from SAD to my knowledge, but since I need a desk lamp anyway, can anyone see a downside to getting one of these? Will they make me whacko or something?

Hey John,
I saw one of those lights at the Tigard Costco. I did notice that it hurt my eyes by even just glancing at it at the wrong angle. Ken

Lots of folks don't siffer from SAD. If you don't, then I'd expect the light to be no more useful than an ordinary light. Or less.
