How to pick a SAD lamp to alleviate the winter doldrums endorsed
Vancouver Is Awesome spoke to Dr. Raymond Lam, a professor at the University of British Columbia, about SAD . It's triggered by fall and winter climate, and impacts one in 100 Canadians. It's different than the “winter blahs” .But grabbing the first one that pops up on Amazon isn’t sufficient.
The UBC Mood Disorders Centre outlines exactly what to look for in a SAD lamp: it should be fluorescent white light, 10,000 lux , tested by scientists, filter UV rays , have a track record of positive reviews, and be approved by a third-party certification group . There are specific ways to use a SAD lamp: set aside 30 minutes a day to start, place it on a desk or table so the light can reach your face, do not sleep but eating or reading is OK, and if it causes side effects , lessen the dosage time. .
The UBC Mood Disorder Centre recommends some specific lamps from Canadian companies and we’ve tracked down two for the top of our list. We’ve added three others we’ve sourced using all of the requirements recommended above and the robust and detailed user feedback.Out of Quebec, Northern Lights Technologies Boxelite checks all the boxes: 10,000 lux, UV blocking, large screen and full spectrum light .Why we're endorsing it: Full spectrum light, positive user reviews, made in Canada.
This PureGuardian SPA50CA with 10,000 lux is different from the rest on the list because it has white and blue light options . This lamp also has a USB port and LED bulbs, eliminating the need for replacement bulbs for a very long time.Why we're endorsing it: Brand reputation, key features like the USB port and LED bulbs.Size/weight/dimensions: 6.75’ W x 9.5’ H.A search of SAD lamps will undoubtedly lead to Verilux.
