Is a 27 watt sad therapy floor lamp effective?

I have dry macular degeneration with geographic atrophy. I find the lamp very helpful when I am reading something like a newspaper. It gives a good white light source to the area around my chair.

I use this lamp for reading and painting. It gives very good, natural light. As far as SAD syndrome, I really don't know because I don't have it on that much.

It takes a 60 watt bulb. If you used a LED it would not work on low, med, and hi. touch dimmer.

I am a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the northern midwest and I specifically purchased these lamps to put in my counseling offices for this reason. Yes they do help ameliorate the effect of dreary, overcast days which contribute to SAD

Not in my experience. I rely on a floor lamp for my office desk light and i love it.

I have 65 watt bulb in it, and I believe it accepts more than double that amount. It adds a nice mood lighting to my office, and all I add is a desk lamp, which lights my work surface. I think if you were to use the maximum wattage, it woul be enough to light a small room.

As long as the desk lamp is designed for the non-standard base this bulb uses and 40 watts will meed your needs, sure this will work.

Chris, the power consumption is very low. The lamp utilizes LEDs. Unfortnately, I did not find the lamp effective for my purposes I only used the lamp once for 1 hour. If you like I would sell you my lamp for $25.00 USD. Contact me at nero_mpb@yahoo.com.

I see others have said lamp does not offer enough light to read by. I forgot to mention that I purchased the adapters so I may use regular size bulbs. I have 40 watt compact fluorescent bulbs instead of the candelabra bulbs.

It requires a 27Watt quad tube bulb. This is the one I use for this floor lamp. It works pretty fine and really durable. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

No. If I recall correctly, the bulb base (the metal part) is somewhat obscure and only comes in one or two wattages. The best thing to do is add track light or recessed cans on a separate switch (like I did), but another option is to simply use floor lamps.

It is limited to a 60 watt bulb. Not going to be super bright in a big room.

I use this to illuminate a double garage, and so there will be an adundance of light. There is also a fair amount of heat close to the lamp and so you would have to isolate it from nearby clothing, and in a confined space such as a closet it might warm the room too much. I would look for something in the 100 - 150 watt range. Hope this helps.

I'd say they'd be ineffective for treating SAD. Light boxes designed to treat SAD are typically rated for 10,000 lux. These don't list the lux rating, only the lumens, but I doubt they're intense enough. In order to be effective you'd probably have to use all 4 at once and sit near them for 2-3 hours. I would search for something more powerful than this if you intend to use it for light therapy purposes.

I use a 250 watt infra red bulb because my bathroom also has mirror lights. This provides only "mood" lighting. Which is good

I tried one in my lamp and it worked but was really too dim for my tastes (it was a 40 watt bulb and threw the light of a 25). I picked up a four pack of ordinary 40 watt non-efficient bulbs and they shed plenty of light for my tastes in brightness.

Yes. It's actually nice. Just a suggestion, tho: I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.
