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?

Thanks! Yeah, $100 isn't a hard number, I was just not sure what the appropriate number should be. How do you like it?

It works really well for me! I set it up on the sideboard in my dining room from November to March, so it's out of the way but I can easily spin a chair toward it and turn it on for breakfast. It's quite heavy, which is good--the cats have no chance of knocking it over. I've had it for three years and the bulbs seem to be holding up fine.

Ah, excellent! That is really good to know. This individual has two relatively small children, so that's a good data point as well!
