Customer Reviews of Philips GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device

Customer Review: '... and then there was light."
Summary: 5 Stars

If you find it hard to get to sleep at a reasonable hour, wake up grumpy, or
feel down/gray, THIS IS THE PRODUCT THAT TOOK IT ALL AWAY for me.

I went to school in Upstate New York, and suffered through very long, cold, gray winters and felt like hell. Twenty odd years later, my winter blues had turned extremely painful, and I booked a vacation hoping it would keep my spirits up: no such luck.

Researched and decided rather quickly that a portable light that touted itself as the most effective wavelength could work for me.

I was going to sleep about 3-4 am and waking up at 10:30-11 am.

The very next day, I woke up (without a clock) earlier than I have in decades, refreshed, and it's only gotten better. This morning I was awakened by a mischievious teenager at 6:30 am AND I WASN'T UPSET!!!

Everyone I have talked to wants one and apparently suffers from the same set of symptoms.

I should add that I am also taking St. John's Wort, but the sleep cycle was changed only after I started to use the light.

I recommend it highly.

Description of Philips GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device

Feel better, faster with the goLITE p1 from Philips. This is the most effective light therapy device on the market today. The goLITE p1 is the result of more than 20 years of clinical studies from leading institutions such as the National Institute of Health, Harvard University, NASA, The Mayo Clinic, etc., on the effectiveness of light therapy. Light therapy is used to treat a variety of disorders relating to the body clock, or circadian rhythm. Exclusive Bluewave Technology has been clinically proven to be twice as effective as white light, and allows the goLITE p1 to be less than half as intense as other light therapy devices. Feel Better. Faster.
Winter blues got you down? Boost your mood, energy, and sleep with a blue-spectrum light therapy device from Apollo Health. For years the world's leading light therapy researchers and doctors have known that full-spectrum, 10,000 lux light boxes can be very effective at treating seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other circadian rhythm related mood disorders. But there is something new in store for light therapy: blue spectrum. If you or a loved one is affected by these type of disorders, the Apollo Health GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device may help easy your suffering and improve your life.


The GoLite P1 uses blue-spectrum light to boost your mood, energy, and sleep. Detailed view.

This spectral graph shows that Apollo's Bluewave technology precisely matches the wavelengths (446 - 477 nm) that are most effective in treating seasonal disorders. View larger.

Bluewave LED technology produces the same amount of effective light as natural sunlight, eliciting a stronger and quicker response. View larger.
Widely acclaimed as the best-selling, most-recommended manufacturer of 10,000 lux light therapy boxes, Apollo Health has taken a technological step forward with the GoLite P1. Recently, researchers have discovered that a very specific range of blue light is, in fact, the most effective color (wavelength) in treating these disorders. After years of research, Apollo has released this patent-pending product that delivers only the most effective blue spectrum light. Utilizing only the most effective wavelengths, the GoLite P1 provides a more convenient treatment, and fewer side effects than traditional 10,000 lux full-spectrum light therapy devices.

The patent-pending Bluewave technology is the result of 10 years of research with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Although other companies may tout the benefits of this new research, only Apollo Health participated in the actual trials. In fact, Apollo is the only company to produce lights that provide 100 percent of the effective blue light spectrum. Bluewave is the most important because it provides a higher effective response than most full spectrum light at one-tenth the intensity of a regular 10,000 lux light therapy device. This means light therapy is not only convenient, but easier on the eyes with fewer side effects. Because Bluewave is so effective, all of the Apollo Health Britewave products have also been upgraded with the new technology. It is clear: Bluewave is the light therapy technology of the future.

Apollo Health recommends keeping the GoLite P1 at 20-22 inches from your face. Once you are comfortable with using the device, you'll be ready to take advantage of the GoLite P1's fully programmable interface and advanced features. This light therapy device is equipped with an adjustable treatment timer with an automatic shut-down, a protective flip cover, long-lasting eye-safe LEDs, and an anti-glare diffuser lens. After you've established your personalized treatment schedule, the GoLite P1 will remember your personal settings. For your convenience, the GoLite P1 has a built-in clock and a backlit digital LCD display. And as the world's smallest light therapy device, the GoLite P1 weights less than one pound. This device is UL, CUL, and CE safety listed, EMF-free, UV-free, and comes equipped with a two-year limited warranty.

The following information regarding the use of GoLite P1 has been provided by Apollo Health:

In almost all conditions, less than one hour is sufficient to produce the desired effect. Exceeding one hour may increase the chances of producing too much serotonin. If you begin to feel too energetic, euphoric, agitated, nervous, jittery, etc., you will want to reduce the amount of time. If you are using antidepressant medication, you should discuss this with your doctor, as you may need to reduce the level of medication or the amount of light you receive.

Most problems with light therapy happen when light is used for more than an hour. Over the last 20 years, light has been proven to be very safe and effective with no long term side effects or ocular damage. However, just as with other safe medications such as aspirin, too much light can cause problems. If you stay under one hour of light at a time, you shouldn't experience any difficulties.
