Yes, I've had SAD for years. I bought a light visor, and it did work well.

Since I started with my D in the higher doses, I've not needed to use it! (there are studies showing improved mood with D therapy)

This is the visor I have:

I used it first thing in the morning for 1/2 hr at the lower setting.
2 yrs...then I started the D.

I tend to slow down in late Sept, after a sunny vacation on the lakeshore and garden. The 5000IU D worked the best starting in Fall. I don't take it in the summer depending on my exposure.
(If it is a cool June, I stop in July. and restart in late Sept, I use my fading tan as an indicator).
