Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Many people feel a little less energetic in the winter, while others get the winter blues. It has been shown that the decrease in natural sunlight may be the culprit in this seasonal change on our bodies. In fact, it has a name - Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD). The Philips goLITE BLU light is designed to help sufferers of SAD by mimicking the effect that the sun has on your body. A few pointers - tips about the light (Many were not included in my video)- - It uses all LEDs therefore it is very unlikely that any of the "bulbs" will burn out. - LEDs generate much less heat than other forms of light, so there is a very low risk of fire. - You must (on occasion) look into periphery of the light. The effect of the light works through your EYES and not your skin, therefore you must glance directly into the light (about once a minute for me). - The unit MUST be charged for 8 eight hour prior to the initial use. - There is no access into the unit - meaning there are no screws or bolts that can be used to access the light, batteries...etc. - Surprisingly small - probably measures 8"x8"x1" and weighs less than 2lbs. - Has a built in alarm feature. - Do not use two hours before you go to bed, since your hormonal response to the light may keep you from sleeping. - Built in timer lets you preset how long you want the light to operate (up to 1 hour) Final verdict - the Philips goLITE BLU is well designed and has loads of built in functionality. While it is not it not inexpensive it may very well hold the key to helping you feel more energetic in the winter months. 4 1/2 stars.
