Hi,
I've been dealing w/ depression. My therapist recommended I get a light box. After searching a few stores I finally found one that has it. I was then told the price $249.....I was in shock. I didn't know the price range but didn't expect what I was told.

For those w/ a light box or know someone that has one. Is $249 range the going cost?

I know that is a lot. I have heard really good things about how well they work. Sorry I am not sure how much they for. The bulb is probably the expensive part.

This is the box I got: http://www.amazon.com/Uplift-Technol...t+technologies

I'm doing Dr. Stephen Ilardi's depression cure program, and he mentions that many of his patients use this box and are happy with it.

I bought the Sunstation a few months ago for about that price, ~$250 locally. These things are expensive, but I like it.
