I live in Minnesota where it's winter about 65% of the year. A lot of cold, dark mornings where your alarm goes off and you want to stay in a warm snuggly bed because there's not a shred of sunlight to be found.
This Carex Health Brands Day-Light Classic 10000 LUX SAD Lamp DL930 is REALLY working for me this year, partly because I've repositioned it. I now put it on a coffee table in front of my sofa, and drag the coffee table as close to my knees as I can.

Philips 433227 10.5-watt Slim Style Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb
The Philips 433227 10.5-watt Slim Style Dimmable A19 LED Light Bulb are great. This flat bulb design is ingenious, and I suspect the loss of the material for heat sink will allow this bulb to drop greatly in price in the coming years. Is it worth the hassle for warranty replacement if buying a new bulb is $5? I recently bought a few LED bulbs at home depot, but they did not have the slim style available. I wanted to select a bulb for more general replacement around the house.
Price is right. I had the bulbs in a lamp shade, and they worked fine, but in another room with a glass dome on a ceiling light, the emitted light was a little too direct. This made harsh shadows and other undesirable components to the light. In the ceiling dome fixture it was a much more diffused light with the slimstyle. There is a reason these bulbs are currently the number one selling LED light bulb on Amazon right now and that is because they are that good.

I bought tons of these for my house,
my whole house is LED now! Love them! I haven't heard any buzzing
yet. Got them for 2$ a piece at my local Home Depot

G7 Power Elko LED 15 Watt (85W) BR30 Recessed Light Bulb Dimmable 2700K
In my kitchen I have 6 lights that require this size of bulb. Because I've had to replace some of the bulbs over the years, I had 3 CFL's and 3 Incandescent bulbs installed. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the color of light from the G7 Power Elko LED 15 Watt (85W) 1100 Lumen BR30 Recessed Light Bulb, Dimmable 2700K Warm White Light appears to be the exact same as my incandescent bulb. Additionally, the LED bulb lights instantly, just like the incandescent. I have been monitoring BR30 bulbs on the market for a long while, waiting for the brightness to reach 1000 lumens.

TCP LBR301050KND6 LED BR30 65Watt Equivalent Daylight 5000K Flood Light Bulb 6 Pack
This TCP LBR301050KND6 LED BR30 - 65 Watt Equivalent Daylight product by RoHS uses 10 Watts compared with the 63 Watt
incandescent light bulb it replaced. According to the manufacturer the
bulb should last 25,000 hours compared with the only 2000 hour life span
of an incandescent bulb. This is rated for indoor/outdoor use and
comes in a convenient two pack. The question for me is if LED bulbs are better than Compact Fluorescent bulbs. 14 bulbs in total.

Double Pedestal Storage Computer Desk by Techni Mobili
The Double Pedestal Storage Computer Desk by Techni Mobili is very sturdy and looks nice. There are large oval cut-outs
in the back panels so it is easy to run cables and also allows for heat
to escape from your computer. Was on the hunt for a reasonably priced computer desk that could hide my
cpu and still look clean and compliment my home.
This desk was a bargain for the price. It has plenty of storage and ventilation for the CPU and plenty of desk space on the surface. Right side has plenty of drawer space. I love the look of the product and the weight...it's not lightweight, very heavy and seems to be durable.
