Litebook.
Full spectrum light box for replacing natural sunlight during the winter, or the long rainy season. This one is pretty small and although you feel like it should be working, I can’t offer conclusive evidence that it does. My theory is the device needs to be a lot bigger to work.
I thought the power cord for this was lost, and so it was consigned to the dumpster (after posting of course), but then I found the cord. Must be my successful clearing of all the other cables that were floating about.
Status: The rainy season is just past us (June was the cruelest month, not April) so I should perhaps wait until the Fall and give it one last shot at working. Alternately, might be useful bits for the sea monster. She will be born.

Alt title: Untitled Ode to Light No. 155*
There is a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.
–Anthem. Leonard Cohen
* Inspired by The Future is Papier Mache’s series of titled posts dedicated to vinyl, which is on Joni Mitchell songs now, I might just start a series of posts with Alt titles that refer to Leonard Cohen songs/poems.
These Alt titles are all part of a loose set of jokes, limericks and Alternate Post Titles dedicated to the Untitled Post. Thanks to Richard (TFIPM) and Notes to the Milkman for the concept.
For years I’ve been thinking about getting one of these – a colleague has one, but said it was too small to work – think he used a large desklamp with a halogen bulb instead, which did the trick. Love that first photograph, and the alt title again. Thanks for the mention, Deanne!
Yes I think if you’re going to invest go big:) Thanks Cheers
