I use a combination of the full-spectrum light bulbs Mercola recommends and also UVB light bulbs. You can find these in pet stores, they are used for reptiles; I use the ReptiGlo 10.0 UVB bulb, it uses only 26 watts. To be effective, the UVB needs to directly radiate onto your skin; it does not pass through glass or bounce off walls.

how long does a full spectrum flourescent light bulb ( the tube kind) usually last? I don't have SAD but I'm thinking of installing full spectrum light in my home gym to improve my training....

I was hoping this was about sudden arrhythmia death, lol. I noticed my edema is worse (by 10lbs in body weight) in the sad months.
