The goLITE BLU energy light with blue LED technology naturally restores the essential light signals needed to feel happy and energetic. Wintertime can bring reduced sunlight and cause many people to experience low mood and energy levels and a condition known as the winter blues. Light therapy is a simple and natural way to help you restore your mood and energy levels and beat the winter blues without the use of drugs or artificial stimulants. And it's portable, easy to use and convenient.

Light therapy is a natural and simple solution for beating the winter blues

Light, health and circadian rhythms

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite and digestion. These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in a deregulated body clock. Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature's cues. A modern day no longer starts at the crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 pm.

We can't change our sleep schedules but we can use technology to make falling asleep and waking up more natural. Philips has developed a new lighting device that recreates sunrise and sunset in your bedroom.

Besides regulating the body clock, light has direct alerting and energising effects and improves our performance. Bright light therapy is also successfully used for mood relief, especially for seasonal mood swings.

Light therapy has been validated in clinical studies and is a natural, safe and easy-to-use alternative to drugs or artificial stimulants (when used as directed)

Light is essential to how we feel

Research shows that our body clocks are regulated by light. Blue light therapy naturally restores the essential light signals needed to regulate our body clocks, as well as our mood and energy levels.

Blue light is the key

Research has shown that the spectrum of blue light used in the goLITE BLU energy light is important in providing the beneficial effects of light therapy. This is because special light receptors in our eyes respond most efficiently to the blue part of the light spectrum. Also, using blue light dramatically reduces the overall intensity of light as compared to bright white light therapy devices. This reduced intensity helps to minimise the potential effects of headaches, glare and eyestrain.

100% UV-free blue light - The pure, blue light increases your energy naturally, like on a sunny day, but without the UV rays associated with sunlight.

Helps to overcome tiredness from jet lag - Many people who travel regularly experience jet-lag after long flights. Using the goLITE BLU when you feel jet lagged, gives you a natural energy lift and can help reset your body clock to the new time zone.

Combat jet lag

Rapidly traveling across several time zones creates disharmony between your internal body clock and the new external time. This not only causes sleeping problems, but influences your mood and energy level as well. If you stay for more than a few days, you may also want to shift your body clock to the new time zone. This will help you sleep better and be more alert and energetic when you need to be. Because special blue light is effective for shifting circadian rhythms, your goLITE BLU energy light can help quickly adjust your rhythm to the new time zone. One of the best strategies to combat jet lag is to shift your body clock a day or two before you leave.

Travelling east

When you travel east, start using the goLITE BLU energy light in the morning two to three days before you leave. The number of time zones you travel corresponds to the hours your body clock has to shift. If you are only traveling a few time zones, one day's preparation is sufficient. Add a day of light therapy for each additional two time zones. For example, for a trip from the US to Europe, use the following schedule: On the first day, wake up an hour early and use the goLITE BLU energy light for 30-45 minutes.

On the next day or days, you should wake up a couple of hours earlier and repeat this process. You should advance your bedtime accordingly. Once you arrive at your destination, avoid light before 10:00 am local time (wear sunglasses) and use the goLITE BLU energy light in the mid-morning to fully adjust to the local time. When returning, use your goLITE BLU energy light in the late evening for a couple of nights before the return flight. On the last night of the trip, try to stay up and use your goLITE BLU energy light as late as reasonably possible past midnight. On the day of the flight, avoid any bright light until after 2:00 pm.

Traveling west

Since most people's body clocks adjust more easily to later time zones, you should not have to use the goLITE BLU energy light when you travel three time zones or less. You should only need to use your goLITE BLU energy light for one day before traveling four time zones, and add an additional preparation day for each three time zones.

You should not have to use the goLITE BLU energy light for more than three days, even on the longer westbound trips. For example, when traveling from London to Los Angeles, use your goLITE BLU energy light for 30-40 minutes in the late evening (and again a couple of hours later, if you can) each night, starting two to three days before you leave.

Use the goLITE BLU energy light two to three hours later each successive night. When you arrive at your destination, try to stay awake until bedtime and avoid bright evening light (wear sunglasses) for the first few days. Before you travel home, avoid any bright afternoon and evening light and use your goLITE BLU energy light in the morning for a few days.
