The light doesn't help me every year but this year it has. I also got depressed at an unusual time for me though. I usually get depressed in January after getting through the holidays and my birthday, all of which are hard. So maybe this was pure SAD this year? I have no idea.
My lamp has only one setting. I didn't realize you could buy one with multiple settings and I did buy this one pretty rashly.
