Product Reviews of Philips GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device
Product Review: If you are suffering, TRY THIS
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are suffering from the winter blues, don't agonize over this hundred bucks. GET THIS LIGHT! I was a total skeptic and my sister talked me into it, thank goodness. It really works, especially if you have spent most of your life in sunny places and are now dealing with "real winter". I can sleep at night, I'm not so miserable and grumpy, and that hopeless feeling is gone.Product Review: Is not rechargable without extra battery pack
Summary: 2 Stars
Buyer Beware: Even though this product looks like it is portable, it does NOT come with a rechargable battery. You have to either plug it in every time you use it or pay an extra $40 for an "optional" separate battery pack (directly from the company). The advertising keeps that fact tucked away. It seems to work okay but the fact that the thing is small and "portable" is useless when you need to keep it tethered to an electrical outlet.Product Review: It has changed my attitude
Summary: 4 Stars
I never experienced SAD before. A combination of the economy, awful weather, and lack of exercise all contributed to it this year.
After I got the PGL P1, I have noticed an improved mood. When I don't use it (when the weather is nice), I notice a drop in my mood. Even though it's summer here, I am still not getting enough of a boost. So I plug the PGL P1, and it is getting me back on track. It even gets me out exercising in the foul weather. I highly recommend it.
It's made of plastic, but feels pretty solid and sturdy.
Product Review: It's helped my elderly father
Summary: 4 Stars
My dad is 93 years old and among other ailments, seemed to be suffering from narcolepsy. His doctor recommended blue light therapy. Was dubious at first, but it truly seems to have perked him up. Now all that see the device want one for themselves, whether they're old or young.Product Review: Keeps the circadian clock regulated but does not help SAD enough
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this after using the day light uplift for several months and having only partial response. That light actually filters the blue spectrum and is not very effective for regulating the sleep clock. This light helps the sleep cycle but does not really help mood directly. What I am realizing is there are different kinds of SAD. Some which are more sleep clock related and some which are more neurotransmitter related or some other mechanism which bright light effects, but this blue light does not. Perhaps the qi field or third chakra. In any case, I use this light along with a bright white light for a few hours a day and am SAD free. This light alone did not prevent changes in mood at all for me. It does keep the sleep cycle on schedule with just 15 mins of use in the morning.
