Sun Lamps

  • Posted by Gina Pudlick-Hendricks on October 13, 2023 at 10:36 am

    Happy Friday the 13th everyone!? I am emailing from Duluth MN, the artic tundra.? We were talking at a meeting yesterday about how we can help students on dreary days when there is no sun.? We came up with the idea of having sun lamps.? I have a few questions for those who have experience with them-

    -Do you have the ones that you can just swap out the lightbulb in any lamp?

    -Do you have them permanently out?

    -Do you rent them out?

    -What ones do you have, where did you get them?

    -What has your experience been??

    -I also have a living wall and figured it would be helpful for them too.? Thoughts?

    You may want to check with a few of these colleges that are already using sun lamps at no charge.

    Bay College

    Northern Michigan University

    Hi-

    We do have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) lamps that we sign out through our Campus Information Center.? Our student government partnered with our University Counseling Center to purchase them and to write up instructions on proper use.? Here is the brand we have – https://www.amazon.com/Light-Therapy-Sad-Happy-Lamp/dp/B07MG4JL45/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_2/135-2273358-2571540?pd_rd_w=oQrQG&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=RHCWG2EQT1CCHVA88VRS&pd_rd_wg=CJ5Fp&pd_rd_r=eb0c3a0c-e534-454d-a334-586405c37ffa&pd_rd_i=B07MG4JL45&psc=1

      Thank you!? After checking out different options, I went with a lamp that can emit light in all directions for multiple students.? I found it on Amazon.??

      We will randomly put it out on tables in our lounge with a sign that our student made to let students know about it.?
