The Comfort of Blue

By using BLUEWAVE light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the goLITE delivers safe and effective wavelengths of light, while eliminating harmful UV and the eyestrain that can be associated with other bright light treatments.

Safe and Effective

According to independent ocular safety testing, BLUEWAVE light is safe when following the recommended usage guidelines. BLUEWAVE technology in your goLITE passes ICNRIP/ACGIH threshold value limits at only 15% (light energy exceeding 100% is considered potentially hazardous). The effectiveness of the type of light in BLUEWAVE has been researched and advocated by leading medical universities.

Restored Balance with BLUEWAVE Technology™

BLUEWAVE technology helps shift circadian rhythms back to their normal pattern by delivering a specifically engineered wavelength, color, and intensity of light that stimulates the production of key substances triggered by the brain. BLUEWAVE naturally affects the body by shifting the body clock to its correct timing, causing the proper signals to be produced at the right time of day.

An imbalance in circadian rhythms contributes to the following:

• Winter blues
• Lack of energy (especially in the winter)
• Feelings of sadness
• Sleeplessness
• Jet lag
• Mood swings
• Lack of concentration
• Irritability
• Loss of appetite

When to Use Your goLITE

Because an imbalance in circadian rhythm affects everybody differently, understanding how it affects you is critical to feeling better. Knowing what time to use the goLITE can mean the difference between responding in just a few days instead of weeks, and perhaps not responding at all.

Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects your body clock and when to use the goLITE for the best results.

Usage Duration and Intensity

Most people get beneficial results from fifteen to thirty minutes of usage each day. You can start using your goLITE at 50% intensity and increase the level of light if you feel like your body is not responding within a week of beginning treatment.

Time of Day

If you find it difficult getting up each day without an alarm clock or you are sleeping in, you need morning light. Use the goLITE within the first hour or two after waking.

If you find it difficult staying awake in the late evening and wake up too early in the morning, you need evening light. Use the goLITE before the onset of drowsiness.

If you don’t notice a shifted circadian rhythm, use the goLITE when you wake up in the morning for fifteen to thirty minutes and then again in the evening for approximately the same amount of time. Place the goLITE further away from you during the evening treatment. This will keep your body clock from confusing the stronger morning signal with evening time.

Don’t use the goLITE within two hours of bedtime. The goLITE suppresses the nighttime hormones for at least two hours, and you may not be able to fall asleep.

Positioning Your goLITE

Because the reaction is through peripheral stimulation, use the goLITE at a slight angle to your face, and do not look directly into the light.
• For best results, place the goLITE approximately 20–30 inches from your eyes. Allow the light to bathe your face from the side.
• You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV, put on makeup, or exercise while using your goLITE.
• Use your goLITE in a well-lit room to minimize eyestrain.
• For best results, place the goLITE near you at eye level so it shines directly into your eyes.
• The proper response to light therapy occurs through the retina of the eyes, not through the skin.

However, you do not need to stare at the light. If you are in front of the goLITE and position it close enough, only an occasional glance is needed achieve the maximum benefits.

Your Eyes Should Be Open for Optimal Results
The hormonal response works through the eyes, not the skin. This is not a tanning light. In fact, Apollo’s
BLUEWAVE Technology creates specific wavelengths that produce a circadian response while eliminating UV hazards and minimizing eyestrain.

New Features:

Internal Lithium-ion battery -  Advanced, longer-lasting battery technology provides over 20% more battery life than the P2. That’s enough power for up to 5 treatment sessions on a quick charge and 8 sessions on a full 8-hour charge.

12 or 24 hour clock mode – Set your preferred time format, either AM/PM or 24-hour clock.

Slim international power adaptor with interchangeable prongs – Charge your M2 anywhere, no extra accessories needed. The interchangeable prongs are compatible with virtually any power outlet worldwide.

Compact neoprene carrying case – The M2’s new smaller carrying case cradles your goLITE to protect it from bumps, and there’s space for your power adaptor, too.

New fresh colors – The M2’s clean white and aluminum finish gives it an updated look.

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.

Now we're building the world's best blue spectrum light therapy device.
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 our innovative line of BLUEWAVE™ products. The patent-pending goLITE 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 are twice as effective at shifting circadian rhythms and suppressing melatonin when compared to 10,000 lux and white LEDs.*

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. 

Apollo's BLUEWAVE™ Technology is the only clinically proven blue light source to treat mood disorders.
 
BLUEWAVE™ Technology is Twice as Effective

Low-intensity blue light (470 nm) is twice as effective at shifting circadian rhythms and suppressing melatonin compared to 10,000 lux and white LEDs.*

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/cm instead of in lux.
