The light therapy lamp consists of fluorescent bulbs in a box covered by a diffusing screen.  The user sits close to the box while reading, eating, writing or working at a  computer  for time periods ranging from 15 minutes to two hours, either once or twice per day.  Many users respond to light therapy within a week.  Because of the seasonal nature of the disorder, a user begins treatment as the days become shorter, in the fall or winter, and continues until the days become longer in the spring.

A light therapy lamp causes very few  side effects , if any, in most people.  Some users experience  eyestrain  or irritation, headaches or nausea when first beginning light therapy.   A few users have difficulty sleeping or feel restless or wired because the light therapy signals their bodies to be overactive.   For the most part, the only patients who should avoid using a light therapy lamp are those who have, or who might be at risk for, certain eye conditions.  A light therapy lamp is safe for pregnant women and does not cause tanning because most systems reduce or block ultraviolet light.

When people use a light therapy lamp, he or she sits or performs tasks  while sitting close to the light.  The lighting was created to resemble  that of the natural sunlight.  Therapy by way of this artificial lighting  is believed to influence a person’s brain chemicals associated with  moods, known as endorphins, and by sitting near or under the therapy  lamp, he or she will feel better mentally.

The cost of a good light therapy lamp can be expensive and therefore looks pricey, but the benefits you receive like relief from arthritis knee pain, acne relief and seasonal depression relief are worth it.  In some cases, insurance companies may cover light box therapy, so check with your insurance company to see if they cover it.  If they do, they may have their own resource for light therapy you should check into.
