We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Andrew
Gabriel) saying something like:

Of SAD...
One 6' tube mounted on the ceiling probably isn't anywhere near
enough to make any difference. If you want to make a SAD lamp, the
cheapest way is probably to buy a 4-tube modular ceiling luminare
designed to sit on a 600mm ceiling tile frame (either 600mm square
or 600x1200mm). They're dirt cheap from an electrical wholesaler
and often free from a skip. You can hang it on the wall like a
picture next to where you sit/work, like a sort of fake window.

I have a few of those and made a couple of them up with twice the number
of tubes packed in. Certainly works, and costs next to nothing compared
to what's being asked for 'proper' SAD lamps.
