The Lite Source Blog

We heard many touching stories about living with seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D.) and our judges had a tough choice when choosing our winners. However, there were three stories that moved our panel the most.

Our top three contestants have been suffering and fighting in S.A.D. in their own ways and have made a step on the road to recovery by writing about their experiences. By sharing their unique stories, they have most certainly made an impact to many of us here at The Lite Source.

We are extremely happy for our winners and certainly hope that their prizes of natural lighting from OttLite will help them through the rough times and lessen the effects of S.A.D.

Many thanks to all that participated and congratulations to our winners!

• Margie Lasiewicki of NY is our 1st place winner. Her prize is the OttLite 3-in-one Craft Lamp.
• T. Joseph Carter of OR is our 2nd place winner. His prize is the OttLite Task Lite HD Lamp.
• Susan Deering of CA is our 3rd place winner. She gets an OttLite Mini Flip Lite.

Phototherapy, often referred to as light therapy is one method of aiding S.A.D. During a light therapy session, one will sit near a light box for at least a half of an hour. According to studies, most patients show improvement within 2-4 days!

OttLite illumination mimics the sunlight and sufficient evidence suggests that the full spectrum lighting an OttLite bulb emits has similar benefits to a light box.

Instead of living with S.A.D., why not light up your life with the natural, healthy benefits of an OttLite lamp and bulb?

Congratulations again and don’t forget to turn on your natural lighting from OttLite to help that smile shine through!
