Who should buy which

You can't justify a recurring $200-300/yr fee, or you sleep cool already and the temperature regulation isn't a real need.
Frequent transcontinental travelers wanting to pre-shift before flights, shift workers, anyone with delayed sleep phase who can't fall asleep before 1-2am, light-deprived northern-latitude workers in winter, founders with chronically-shifted Monday-morning starts.
You already use a 10,000-lux desk light box consistently and the desk-bound protocol fits your schedule. Or you have any photosensitive condition (migraine, retinal disease) - consult an ophthalmologist first.
