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 can provide a natural boost that may help you feel better, increase energy and even help 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 always get this light in the winter, and indoor light doesn't replace this color, which is why often our mood, energy and sleep patterns may suffer in the winter.
Twice as effective
The goLITE is a 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 many people notice a big improvement after a few days with as little as 15 minutes of use 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 high quality light therapy products.
Safe, easy on your eyes
Bluewave not only makes light therapy more convenient than traditional white light, 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.
Bluewave technology
Patent-pending Bluewave technology is the result of ten years of research with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). 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.
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 technology measured? 10,000 lux vs. photons/cm2
Because Bluewave technology 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 technology intensity is measured in photons/cm instead of in lux.
