Question from Jane Ann

I have been researching light therapy boxes on the internet. These are for seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

I haven’t been able to find any products that don’t have some plastic components. I don’t know whether a product exists made of only metal, glass, porcelain, etc. Some claim to have a “steel cabinet with a baked enamel finish to reduce out-gassing”, but then the front of the unit is made of plastic. Some don’t mention what the materials are. When I call to inquire, I get people who don’t know anything about the materials.

Does anyone have any personal experience with this type of product? I belive my husband would greatly bennefit from light therapy, but I am extremely environmentaly sensitive, and I don’t want to introduce something potentially toxic into my home.

Thanks for any help!

Jane Ann
