light boxes

Anyone use a light box? My doc and I decided yesterday that it would be very good for me to try one since I get some mild S.A.D. symptoms during the winter. He suggested that I just go to home depot or a big chain store, but some research on my part indicates that a lot of progress has been made on these recently, so I thought I check to see if anyone who has been down this road lately had any advice to share.

I have a full spectrum Ott-Lite desk lamp, but I think that I want to get something like a light box that you use at specific times of day for short periods.

I think that I'll head out to home depot, lowes and maybe a good lighting store later today to see what they have. 10K lumens (min) is what the doc said.
