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?

Ideally you want one that will be somewhat above eye level, like the actual sun. This can mean you put it on top of something, or you get one that, well, has a stand that allows you to angle it above your head.

Ah, thank you! I've never used one of these myself (maybe I should!) so any advice is really useful.
