If Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is getting you down, or if a windowless workplace and precious few winter daylight hours leave you in a permanent state of [Current mood:Drowsy] – this gadget will help lighten up both your sadness and your somnolence, while even treating a spot of holiday jet-lag too. Called the Desktop Light Therapy Box, it delivers 6,000 lux of daylight spectrum light – which within just 30 minutes blocks the sleep hormone melatonin, resulting in increased energy levels and alertness.
Using a special 36-watt globe rated for 10,000 hours of use, the Desktop Light Therapy Box includes an electronic ballast to ensure buzz-free illumination, as well as flicker elimination technology to prevent electromagnetic fields interfering with other desktop gadgets.
Unlike previous generation lamps that hogged your workspace, the Desktop Light Therapy Box measures a small and slimline 12″ high x 5.5″ wide x 3″ deep and is available now from the cheerful chaps at Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95.
