The GoLite P1 is the worlds best blue spectrum light therapy device
We've been building the world's best light boxes for more than two decades.
For many 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 and other circadian rhythm related mood
disorders. They also know that no one does 10,000 lux better than Apollo
Health, which is why we're the world's most-recommended, best-selling brand.
Recently, researchers have discovered that a very specific range of blue
light is the most effective color (wavelength) in treating these disorders.
Apollo has spent the last several years working with leading experts to develop
a new product based on this research, and we're proud to announce the GoLite
P1. This patent-pending product delivers only the most effective wavelengths,
which means a more convenient treatment, and fewer side effects than traditional
10,000 lux full-spectrum light therapy devices.
BLUEWAVE™ Technology
Patent-pending BLUEWAVE is the result of ten years of research with medical
universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Other companies may
tout the benefits of this new research. Only Apollo has participated in this
research and we are the only company to produce lights that provide 100% of
the effective blue light.
Used at NASA & by Research Experts
BLUEWAVE technology is so effective that it has been used at NASA as the preferred
method to regulate astronaut's and shuttle crew's sleep/wake schedules. BLUEWAVE
was also demonstrated at the June 2004 Society for Research in Biological Rhythms
(SRBR) Medical Conference, where leading researchers recognized Apollo's BLUEWAVE
as the definitive lighting technology for regulating circadian rhythms.
Technology of the Future
BLUEWAVE is so significant because it provides a higher effective response
than most full spectrum light at 1/10th the intensity 10,000-lux. This means
light therapy is not only convenient but easier on the eyes with fewer side
effects. Because BLUEWAVE is so effective, all of our BRITEWAVE products
have also been upgraded with BLUEWAVE technology. Indeed, BLUEWAVE is the
technology of the future.

The specific bandwidth of light that
is responsible for treating SAD and related circadian rhythm disorders
ranges from 446 - 477 nm (nanometers), and is up to 5 times more effective
than other wavelengths. This spectral graph shows that only Apollo's
patented BLUEWAVE technology precisely matches this specific bandwidth. |
BLUEWAVE LED technology produces the same amount of
effective light
as natural sunlight, while 10,000-lux full-spectrum produces less than
40%. Because BLUEWAVE produces 100% of the necessary bandwidth, it elicits
a stronger and quicker response. Clinical trials have shown BLUEWAVE LED
technology to be effective in treating SAD. |
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/cm2 instead
of in lux.
Warning!
Many light therapy companies make false claims regarding their products' performance
and safety. Apollo has participated in more research than all other light
therapy companies combined. In fact, most of our competitors
quote research conducted with Apollo lights. You should verify any claims
made by any company selling light therapy devices. Many of our competitors
claim to be "#1", or to have safe and effective products. Ask them to
prove it!
