Yo!
I use brite box. It's a folding design kinda like a book and it's as tough as old boots.
You can get them cheaper in the summer about £160 instead of £180 I think, but this is still cheap as it's vat exempt as long as you return the "I'm a saddie"form which comes with the box. (you don't need to be diagnosed)
They'll even split the cost across 2 consecutive months if you ask-the company name is Goldstaff Ltd.
Can't understand people quibbling about the cost, if you are ill money doesn't really come into it- if you can afford a pc and broadband then you can afford a box(that wasn't a dig at anybody just a general comment)
On the dawn simulator, I just bought an inexpensive timer that plugs into the wall socket and attached a spot light aimed down at the corner of my bedroom and bingo pretendy dawn!

My SAD arsenal:
1. VAT exempt Brite box on split payments
2. Pretendy dawn simulator made with £5 timer
3. SJW
4. omega 3
5. A good dose of fresh air now and again

Jobs a goodun

I use a winterbright on a timer to wake me in the mornings. During the summertime I piled a few things in front of it and it got turned to a less-useful angle.

I think I've realized that the light I use every morning also needs to be re-thought. I have a desk-lamp sort of light (10,000 lux) that sits on the top level of my work-desk. I'm dealing with a surprising amount of fatigue and need to get it at eye-level, but it's a monstrosity.

Almost tempted to get a third light-box that's more desk-friendly and use both at once.
