Sadly, our kitchen light fittings are tge R63 spot/reflector type. I <em>did</em> find some daylight/low energy bulbs to try but wholst they were rated as 60 watt equivalents thery were more like 40 watt. Lovely light colour but lousy brightness. But they'll be along soon I feel sure :) Anyway - it's nice to know someone has found some benefit here. Rewarding! That’s great.

I now have a beautifully illuminated kitchen after purchasing the bulbs. No more groping around in the gloom and struggling to read the tiny writing on food packets.

Makes a hell of a difference to the quality of the light - as long as you're not wanting a romantic setting of course! I don't want to wait for the summer... spring will do nicely.

I have it next to the computer and switch it on for an hour or so every day. IT produces 10,000 lux so it's very bright but it does seem to work. Tests have shown light therapy is as effective as drug treatment in mild to moderate SAD. Moving this far north I'm afraid the only way to get a reasonable amount of 'daylight' through the winter is artificially. Roll on summer :) I’ve recently bough a new ‘lightbox’ for my SAD.
