I use a Verilux HappyLight. It cost only about $100 and is very convenient to use. I have mine right next to the chair in my bedroom and I sit in front of it for 30 minutes each morning in the late fall and winter, which is when I tend to become depressed. It's 10,000 lux (units of light), which is recommended for best results. I bought mine on Amazon.
