Thanks, trackrig.
I did do some research, and apparently the commercial SAD lights are way too dim -- much dimmer than what is used in the science studies for SAD. So that is why people are recommending other setups. You don't have to have them right in your eyes if they are bright enough.
Yeah, I wonder about the spectrum, too. Although apparently there is some evidence that the blue end is the important part.
Info on light bars for this use.
Or metal halide lights for better spectrum, more $$$.
I just thought I might try the cheap option first.
