SAD Light boxes - What type of bulb or tube made of them.?
I'm thinking of buying a light box to reduce the effects of SAD .. How can they really expensive electricity and I am going to be easy to make one I'm sure the ball. But what type or types of lamps used.? Controls whether the different teeth to normal fluorescent Dan.? why not only continue to convert all their home lighting tubes.? I understand that I may need 10 000 Lux light Day. Is this need for me to make one approx.? Working on the premise that the 10 000 lux is 100 Watt lights bright enough.! Do I just need a few 100 watt florescence during the day.?
Yep, SAD box arrived before sunrise fluorescent lamps became available and their main feature is the color 'of light. But to supplement it a bit - they usually involve a LOT of light come from one place - so normal lighting your home, designed to spread light in all the different rooms of a light box mounted near your desk that you beaming with light. Also, there is a theory that when you are outdoors in the sun or to the side of what you're looking at - the direct sunlight that passes through the strike the inside of your iris your eyes, but not in the retina. I think this should stimulate the production of melatonin - or push it ... So, this is not about having everything you see with the bright afternoon days, but about a point source of light during the day which is very precise on the shores of your peripheral vision - which would not work if the light is behind your head as possible. You did not even must replace many incandescent fixtures with fluorescent - I found that some halogen lights close enough to daylight to make a difference. Maybe try that first. But watch out for incandescent lamps bad day - which with a blue coating on the glass they do not produce the correct light and they burn very quickly. Also, the timer can be extremely helpful. In season You wake up in the heat during the day and you are awakened by the dawn slowly. In the winter you suddenly awakened by an alarm clock in the dark. There are X-10 and Insteon switches out there that can is set to increase over 15 minutes. One of them, plus a timer to send signals at the same time everyday, and a large halogen spotlights and you have the sun homemade published. Good luck, SAD sucks ...
