Editorial Reviews:

Researchers have discovered that a very specific range of blue light is even more effective than full-spectrum light at treating mood disorders. Apollo has worked with leading experts to develop a new product based on this research, and we're proud to announce the goLITE P1. 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. Although the goLite is only 6" X 6" in size, it produces more of the effective bandwidth than most full-size lightboxes. In addition to effectiveness, the goLite's greatest advantage is its compact size - it can go anywhere & be used anytime light is needed. BLUEWAVE technology is so effective that it has been used at NASA to regulate astronaut's and shuttle crews' sleep/wake schedules. BLUEWAVE was also recently recognized at the Society for Research in Biological Rhythms (SRBR) as the most efficient technology for regulating circadian rhythms. ___ Spectral Intensity: ___ ** No harmful UV ** Technology: BlueWave (BLUEWAVE Technology produces the specific bandwidth of light that is responsible for suppressing melatonin and shifting circadian rhythms. 464nm (nanometers) is up to 10 times more effective than other bandwidths.) ** Ocular Safety: ACGIH/ICNRIP Safety Standards ** International AC adapter ** Effective bandwidth: 100% ** Suggested distance 20"-22" ** Adjustable treatment timer ** Automatic shut-down ** Protective front flip cover ** Weighs less than 1 pound ** Remembers personal settings ** UL, CUL, and CE safety listed ** 100% of recommended blue light ** World's smallest light therapy device ** Personalized treatment schedule ** Long lasting eye-safe LEDs ** Anti-glare diffuser lens ** EMF-free ** UV free ** Built in clock ** Backlit digital LCD display ** 2 year limited warranty

Summary: Apollo Health GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device

It is the next best thing to a sunny day.

Summary: worth the cost
Comment: Apollo Health GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device
I live in a northern state of the US. Since we moved here from the sunny south 7 years ago I would start feeling "down" as soon as the season would change, cloudy sky, limited sun. I purchased this lite box and I am very pleased with it. It is small, easy to use and has a padded carrying case.
I use it for about 30 mins in the am. My mood is improved and I have energy to do things that I would normally do in the summertime. ( cleaning and organizing ). I would recommend this item to anyone who has some type of winter blues or SAD.

Summary: Works for me
Comment: So far so good!
I have to get up at 5 am for work and my day from then on was dismal. Now I get up and use my light for a half an hour and I am good to go. It did not make me a morning person, but I am no longer napping at my desk. I get tired around 10pm instead of 3am so it did shift my clock.
I would recommend it for anyone who has trouble getting up in the morning.

Summary: Wow--this is a keeper!
Comment: So I have had SAD for about 20 years, and last winter when I finally made the leap and purchased the Apollo GoLite, I experienced what it means to "enjoy the fall," and "love the holidays." I have had a turn around that has created a functional psyche, better wakefulness during the day, and an extremely easy time going to sleep by 10:30 p.m. (Before this I hadn't been able to settle down before midnight since junior high). I am a firm believer that the increased seratonin, correction of circadian rhythms and theraputic effects via this light are something many would benefit from, and I tell everyone about this light every chance I get-- after all, I shouldn't be the only one who's got the opportunity to really live during dark months. I'm very thankful.

Summary: Caution, SAD sufferers, full-spectrum works better for me
Comment: I have used the original Apollo Light, full spectrum/10,000 lux for around 10 years, and it always amazed me how well it worked. Even this year, I began to have difficulty waking up in the morning, and my depression set in, at the end of September. I began using my 10,000 lux, and the next day, I woke up more easily, and felt better. I decided to try the GoLite Blue, because of the claims in the ad, that it was so much better. When it arrived, I loaned the old one to a friend, as I began to use the new one. Well, my previous improvement declined. I got depressed, again, and with difficulty waking in the morning. So, I resumed using the full spectrum light, and feel better again. Here is the link to the one I used beforeApollo Health briteLITE 6. Good luck; depression sucks!!!
