Michele: more than a year ago

I've used my SADelite every single day for well over 6 years now and the original bulb is still going strong. For the past year and a half, I have it on during my entire work day, since my office has no window. I've suffered from seasonal depression for 20 years, but with this lamp, the "down" is MUCH less intense. I recommend this product to everyone. Yes, it's heavy, cumbersome and not so stylish, but everyone loves to sit in my "sunny" office! This is no gimmick, no scam - just a straightforward fact: humans, like most animals, need regular sunlight to function. I was just browsing the web to see if they've come up with new SAD products, and from what I've read, this lamp is still the standard to beat.
