Light box advice?

[cahn]

I feel like I seem to remember one or more of you has a light box (the kind that you get to stave off seasonal affective disorder) that works well? I've been tasked with finding one for a Christmas present. I'd prefer to stay under $100 if possible. (Honestly usually $30 is about how much I would spend on said present, but I have no idea how much is reasonable to spend.)

I think I'm supposed to get the kind that can fit on a desk easily, but not 100% sure (will confirm that).

Anyone have any recommendations?

I have this one from Philips. It's hard to find a good one for cheaper. It's a medical device that you get years of use out of, so it makes sense to spend a little more.

Maybe you could team up with someone else to go halves on it?

Thanks! I'm not wedded to the $100 number, and this is fine -- I just wasn't sure how much they actually were. Now I know :) ETA: How do you like it?

I like it fine! I haven't used it much this year because global warming means more sunny days in winter (soooo weird) but it was invaluable the previous two years.

Excellent! Thanks :)
