Question: can you make your own lamp with a, say, 100W LED array? I'm just thinking of a DIY option...

- exception_e 11y agoIf your concern is about the prices, you can find very reasonably priced lamps by Verilux on Amazon. Got mine for under $150, but there are ones even cheaper. If you're simply trying to get an Open Source/DIY project together, power to you! An aside: I'm very grateful for my light box. I have S.A.D. as well as 2 anxiety disorders. Really helps me out and would recommend a box to anyone that is on the fence or unaware of their existence!
- amelius 11y agoOr just buy one of these: http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HF3332_60/golite-blu-energy-light http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HF3332_60/golite-blu-energy-l... They are quite compact, and do what they are supposed to do. You can even use them in the office while you are working.
- superuser2 11y agoCan you do this with LEDs? I thought the point was broad spectrum output more typical of incandescence.
- baccheion 11y agoYes. What matters is brightness and temperature (should include 5700K).
