The gloomies have started again with the cloudy and stormy days and I am
thankful for the wonderful rain we so needed! I checked the archives and found
reference to red light bulbs, graduated rose sunglasses and the following from
Brooks.... I am asking if anyone has battled SAD and what weapons gave
relief? What lights or light bulbs and where to purchase? Other modalities
that were tried and did not help? T
Thanks to everyone from Paula

Our research group conducted extensive tests, 5 or 6 years ago, on the effects
of full-spectrum lighting on a variety of subjects, from race-horses, to school
children. We obtained some remarkable results. We were inspired to perform
these tests as a result of the influence of John Ott, a banker turned amateur
photographer in the late 60's. He wrote several interesting books.
Of all the bulbs and lighting systems we tested, those manufactured by the
Durotest corporation were---by far---the best and the ONLY ones that met all of
the published specifications. One of our office staff just informed me that
Durotest has a web site......http://concentric.net/~Durotest/ We have
no connection with these people, economic, professional or otherwise. They just
had the best products at the time of our tests (1984-86). I hope this is of
value. Brooks Bradley.
