If this won't cure my SAD, what will?

This is the 85W-from-socket 425W-incandescent-equivalent-power lightbulb that I bought to see whether it would make me happy.

For size comparisons, that is an Apple smallish keyboard, a real apple and a real kiwifruit. The fruit are normal-sized examples of their ilk, and the bayonet on the lamp is of the standard size.

What wattage was the one you got? Do you know approximately what the dimensions of your room are?

I'm wondering how bright a bulb we should get.

I got a 65W one. The company I got it from does a *dimmable* uplighter CFL that's also 65W and is what I'd get if I were doing it again - the direct bulb is quite glare-y.

Where did you get it from?
