Very pleased with the visor and the seller/manufacturer
I bought this because I find myself unwilling/unable to devote 1/2-hour of sitting in front of a light box first thing in the morning like I've done in past years.  I'm happy with the visor and the light it puts out but figured I'd share some observations for anyone considering buying one.<br /><br />Unless your surroundings themselves are very well lit, you'll find yourself blinded by light higher than a low/medium intensity.  I find myself being much more cautious even on a setting of 3 (out of 5) until the time I actually sit down in front of the computer for a while, at which point I zap it up to 5 without issue.  This ends up being about 20 minutes on 3 and about 10 minutes on 5....if I'm at the computer for longer, I'll just turn the visor on without using the timer.<br /><br />I've had no problems with either blurred vision or headaches even though one of my light boxes has caused this in the past (the one that has a yellowish light for some reason....my bluish/pure white ones, also what this visor provides, haven't given me any issues.<br /><br />The visor is really comfortable and the battery part, connected by a long wire, stays in place just clipped onto the neckline of my pajamas...you don't need something like a belt in order to keep the battery box happy.<br /><br />I haven't had it long enough for it to need a recharge (it has supposedly &#34;in excess of&#34; 3 hours total use time before requiring such...depending on use of the timer and intensity of light).  The recharge takes up to 12 hours.  The initial charging time is 24 hours.  The instructions say that the lights will start to flicker when the battery gets too low....although you can then plug in the recharger and continue to use it till your intended session is up.  If you suffer from seizures you may want to keep track of how much time you get on a charge and then recharge before it starts to flicker.<br /><br />This morning was my fourth morning to use it and I'm happy to say that I already notice a difference (I'd started out the season just trying to rely on having a box in place in the bathroom for the time I take to get my face clean/SPF'd and use some other lotions and potions for my morning walk and then a smaller one in place for when I'm at the computer (it's in use as my normal computer light year-round).  That wasn't enough because my eyes are nowhere near close enough to either in those situations.<br /><br />As of now, it's cheaper to buy here than on the manufacturer website....the price is the same but shipping here is much cheaper.<br /><br />I was given an estimated delivery date that started a week after the date of purchase and extended another three weeks into the future.  I figured the package was going to be forever getting to me.  The seller/manufacturer shipped it out UPS on the same day as my order and it arrived the next day (we're both in Maryland).  I was thrilled.
