Choosing a SAD Light - a quick guide
SAD LIGHT THERAPY PRODUCTS: Our extensive range of SAD light boxes means that we have something for everyone. Our price range also caters for different budgets because we realise that not everyone can afford a high powered SAD light.
To be effective a SAD light must emit a minimum of 2500lux. All the SAD Lights we retail emit 10000 lux, giving the user an efficient and speedy treatment. With each of our SAD lights we have included a handy specification table that provides you with a guide to the strength of each SAD light and the treatment time required.
The most important thing is to be realistic about the amount of time you want to use the SAD light. The SAD Apollo GoLITE P1 and GoLITE M2, SAD Diamond 4 lightbox, the Apollo briteLITE 6 and the Ultima 4 lightbox are great if you are pushed for time as they give a full treatment in just 20 minutes. However, if you have a little more time on your hands choose the SAD Diamond 2 SAD light or the Litepod SAD light.
The goLITEs are great as they offer a quick treatment time and are small enough to be used on your desk at work. Handy and discrete the Apollo goLITE's are our best seller. Choose between the mains powered Apollo goLITE P1 and the rechargeable Apollo goLITE M2

DAWN SIMULATORS: If you want a gentle waking then a Dawn Simulator is for you. They work by gradually increasing the light emitted from your lamp (or the integral lamp) until it is on full brightness when your alarm sounds.
A Dawn Simulator is an excellent product and will help you in the mornings, however please note that it does not treat the basic cause of SAD which is lack of natural sunlight, hence the need for a specific medically proven Light Therapy treatment which can be found in our SAD Light Product section.
Dawn Simulators will promote good sleep and help you to wake naturally in the mornings. However, please note that difficulty waking is just one of the symptoms of SAD and a normal Dawn Simulator will not cure SAD.
