SAD light location and use for programmers? (lemmy.world)

It's been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them, how long do you use them per day and all that?

I have the same one, but I thought you were only supposed to use it for like 30 minutes at a time. I guess I'm using it wrong.

Just a word of caution for anyone with bipolar, using it for longer than recommended can trigger mania.

I think it is advertised as 30 minutes is all you need. But it is more or less simulating sunshine. And you can have more than 30 minutes of that so...

That makes sense
