Early clinical studies exposed subjects to 2,500 lux for 2-6 hours daily. These lengthy daily treatments induced two serious difficulties: compliance to treatment and side effects (headaches or vision problems) in some users. Shorter exposure (30 min) to brighter 10,000 lux light therapy produced a 75% rate of improvement in SAD without increasing side effects [341, 343]. However the treatment must be applied for the whole winter duration, since SAD symptoms rapidly reappear after treatment has ceased [201].
