Light is nature's stimulant
The upbeat feeling we get on a bright sunny day is no accident. This feeling is the result of light triggering our bodies to release "active" hormones to help improve our mood and energy levels.
Winter can be a challenge for many because the shorter days and longer nights leave us simply "light-deprived". Without the normal light stimulation, we often feel down, lethargic and unhappy.
Light therapy provides a natural boost that helps you feel better, increases energy and even helps you sleep. Using the right wavelength of light, you can trigger your active hormones naturally, boosting your mood and overcoming those down feelings, whatever the season.
Blue light is the key
Researchers have learned that receptors in our eyes
convert the blue light from the summer sky into the
chemicals our bodies need to be active and energetic. We
don't get this light in the winter, and indoor light doesn't
replace this color, which is why our mood, energy and
sleep patterns suffer.
Twice as effective
The goLITE is the newest breakthrough in
light therapy that provides just the blue light our bodies
need (we call it BLUEWAVE technology). Studies have
shown that low-intensity blue light (470 nm, like that
from the goLITE) is twice as effective at managing our
body clocks compared to other sources of light.
As little as 15 minutes per day
Using light therapy fits easily into your normal daily routine. You can do it while eating breakfast, exercising or getting ready in the morning.
And most people notice a big improvement with only 15 minutes a day.
Backed by years of research
Over the last several decades, dozens of research and clinical studies have shown the effects and potential benefits of light therapy for helping those with mood, sleep and energy problems. We have worked with the National Institutes of Health, NASA, the Mayo Clinic and others to develop the best light therapy products possible.
Safe, easy on your eyes
BLUEWAVE not only makes light therapy more
convenient but also easier on the eyes because lower
intensity means less glare, eyestrain and headaches.
BLUEWAVE technology produces no UV or near-UV
light, and passes ocular safety testing as well as all
government and industrial ocular safety standards.
Risk-free trial*
For about the cost of a quality pair of prescription glasses, you can find relief and rejuvenation every single day. So get your goLITE today and start feeling better.
BLUEWAVE Technology
Patent-pending BLUEWAVE technology is the result of ten years of research
with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). While
other companies may tout the benefits of this new research, only we have
actually participated in the research.
Technology of the future
BLUEWAVE is significant because it provides a higher effective response
than most full-spectrum light at 1/10th the intensity of traditional 10,000-lux
light. That means you can get effective treatment in about half the time of
traditional 10,000 lux light therapy.
Because BLUEWAVE is so effective, all of our white light BRITEWAVE products
have also been enhanced with BLUEWAVE technology.
Safe
The BLUEWAVE technology has been safety-tested by optical safety experts.
With BLUEWAVE, light therapy is not only convenient but easier on the eyes
with fewer side effects.
Twice as effective
Although other light therapy products, including 10,000 lux boxes, contain
blue light, the majority of their spectral energy is counterproductive. Eliminating
these unnecessary wavelengths increases effectiveness and significantly
reduces overall intensity.
Low-intensity blue light (470 nm) is twice as effective at shifting circadian
rhythms and suppressing melatonin compared to 10,000 lux fluorescent and
white LED-based products.
How is BLUEWAVE measured? 10,000 lux vs. photons/cm2
Because BLUEWAVE represents only a narrow slice of the visible light spectrum,
it cannot be measured accurately with a lux meter. Lux meters measure
the total spectral energy from all visible wavelengths, not specific bandwidths.
This is why BLUEWAVE intensity is measured in photons/cm instead
of in lux.
medGadget: goLITE fights the coming winter blues
"In terms of effectiveness, there's definitely a certain uplifting feeling, somewhat like that first hour in the sun on a winter vacation in the Caribbean. Not to equate the two in any way, but indeed there's something about it that I believe I sense."
