Here's a report of a person whose wife had seasonal affective disorder. He
- deduced that a powerful enough lightbox should be able to cure SAD
- didn't find any examples of such treatments in literature
- spent $600 to build "LUMINATOR"
- "And as of early 2017, with two winters come and gone, Brienne seems to no longer have crippling SAD—though it took a lot of light bulbs, including light bulbs in her bedroom that had to be timed to go on at 7:30am before she woke up, to sustain the apparent cure."
