introduction intended use

The goLITE BLU energy light is intended to make people feel more energetic and to provide mood relief from the winter blues. If you suffer from severe mood swings or depression make sure to consult a professional and do not use this device for self treatment.

EnglisH light and health

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain functions. Light exposure can boost mood and energy.

Light has direct alerting and energizing effects and can improve our performance. Bright light therapy is also successfully used for mood relief, especially for seasonal mood swings.

In countries with long winters, many people experience loss of energy and low spirits due to lack of light. These symptoms are referred to as the winter blues. They typically start in the fall and may last for several weeks.

Exposure to bright light sources can help alleviate these symptoms and restore the summer mood and summer energy level.

The blue light of the summer sky is well known. We do not get as much of this light in the fall and winter, and indoor light does not emit enough of this essential color. The goLITE BLU energy light helps to deliver the wavelength, color and intensity of light that we see in summer.

Preparing for use

It is very important that you know how long and how often you should use your Philips goLITE BLU energy light. This knowledge can mean the difference between successfully responding to light and not responding at all.

When to use the goliTE BlU energy light

Knowing what time to use the goLITE BLU energy light can mean the difference between feeling better in just a few days instead of weeks, or perhaps not responding at all. Follow these guidelines to understand how light can boost mood and energy and when to use the goLITE BLU for the best results.

Duration and intensity

Most people get beneficial results from 15 to 45 minutes of usage each day. You can start using the goLITE BLU at medium intensity and increase the light intensity if you feel no response after a week.

Timing

Using the goLITE BLU energy light at any time of day directly affects your alertness. You can use the goLITE BLU energy light as a light bath for the winter blues throughout the day. The best time to use it is in the morning.

Do not use the goLITE BLU late in the evening. If you use it within 2 hours of going to bed, it could disrupt your sleep.

- If you find it difficult to get up each day without an alarm clock or if you often sleep in, you need morning light. Use the goLITE BLU within the first hour or two after waking up.

- If you find it difficult to stay awake in the late evening and wake up too early in the morning, you need evening light. Use the goLITE BLU before you start to feel drowsy.

- If mornings or evenings do not seem to be the problem, but you feel generally tired during the day, then the time at which you use the goLITE BLU is not as important. You can use the goLITE BLU in the morning or around midday. For example, when you wake up in the morning, use it for 15 to 30 minutes and then again at midday or in the evening for approximately the same amount of time. Place the goLITE BLU further away from you during the evening session. Do not use the goLITE BLU within two hours of your desired bedtime or you may not be able to fall asleep.

3 Put the adaptor in the wall outlet and insert the appliance plug into socket on the appliance (Fig. 4).

- You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV or exercise while you use your goLITE BLU energy light.

- For the best results, place the goLITE BLU at the same level as your midriff (stomach area), e.g. place it on the table at which you are sitting.

Note: Do not stare into the light of the LED panel. It is sufficient that the blue light reaches your eyes indirectly from the side.
