Amazon.com Product Description 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. What's in the Box GoLite P1 light therapy device, carrying case, international AC adapter, and warranty.
Product Description Light Therapy Treatment Apollo GoLite boost your mood and energy and sleep. The GoLite is the latest evolution in light therapy with patented BLUEWAVE technology, delivering 100% of the effective bandwidth of light responsible for causing the antidepressant response for those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder and circadian related disorders. In addition to effectiveness, the light therapy treatment goLite's greatest advantage is its compact size. This therapy light device can go anywhere & be used anytime light is needed.

Philiipa Go Lite February 16, 2010 M. Nicholas (Petoskey, MI USA) This device works as advertised. I use it every morning and find my mood is gradually improving. I Live in Michigan where it is not unusual to go weeks without a sunny day in the winter. Makes life pretty grey. This light helps a lot! I particularly like the LEDs as they are not as prone to burning out like the old tube type lights. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a boost in their light exposure.
Worked for a few months, no help from customer service, now it's a piece of junk January 25, 2010 Intrst1 I purchased a P1 several years ago and only used it for about six months. After letting it sit for a few years, I recently decided to try it again but it would not turn on at all. I opened the back and the batteries in it were still good, I tried another 9V cord, but it still would not turn on. I sent an e-mail to customer service requesting advice on how to service the unit. The response only referred to the two year warranty. A phone call to customer service was no better; they just repeated the same two year warranty information, even though I had already specified that it was an older unit. I was told that they no longer had service centers and that there was no way to service or repair the unit, only replace. My fault in not using the P1 more during the warranty period, but I would have expected the light unit to work longer than a few months, and that there would be some way to service a unit that apparently has a history of faulty workmanship. I hate to throw something in the trash that was hardly used and worked fine in the past, and might still consider trying an electronics shop, but no way am I spending money on another product from this company.
YAY! This works great! January 17, 2010 Anne Marie (ohio) This light works great for SAD. Does anyone know if it would work for someone I know who is depressed because of a traumatic event and not from SAD?
P1 Golite NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY PHILLIPS October 28, 2009 J. White I bought this last year and feel it worked.
However,
I just contacted Phillips who acquired the Golite brand at 800-545-9667 to see if I could get
a product user manual and maybe check into a battery upgrade. (it would be VERY nice for it to be portable)
The woman who answered was not helpful and not so nice,,, everything I asked was an annoyance to her and she told me
to call back and ask for "Kathy". (wouldn't take my number) I was told this P1 model is discontinued an no longer supported.
Take this into account when you consider a purchase and maybe give a test call before you plunk your money down.
Nice Product October 26, 2009 Clarice White I haven't had this product real long to test it out but I really do think so far it's actually does have a positive effect per usage. I'm slowly upping the time and intensity to see if I get better results. I usually don't have a great problem until the months starting in Dec on thru the spring but I want to get a jump start before things get too bad for me.
