SAD lamps or inexpensive LED lighting panels (930-1000 lux) can be beneficial for individuals experiencing a drop in energy or increased depression during winter months.

“In addition to that, during the winter months, if you do experience some drop in energy or increase in depression or psychological lows, it can be very beneficial to access a SAD lamp. Or if you don't want to buy a SAD lamp, 'cause oftentimes they can be very expensive, you might do well to simply get a LED lighting panel. I've described one before. And I want to emphasize that I have no affiliation whatsoever to these commercial sources, but I've described one before and I'll describe it again. And we can provide a link to a couple examples of these in the show, in the show note captions, excuse me. This is a 930 to 1,000 lux, L-U-X, light source that's designed for drawing. It's literally a drawing box. It's a thin panel. It's about the size of a laptop. Very inexpensive compared to the typical SAD lamp.”
