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.Visit www.lighttherapy.com for a free assessment and to customize a
light therapy schedule just for you.
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 benecial results from 15 to 45 minutes of usage each
day.You can start using the goLITE BLU at 50% 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 nd it difcult 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 rst hour or two after waking up.
If you nd it difcult 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.
ENGLISH 11

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.
Charging
Note:You can also use the appliance while it is charging.
The goLITE BLU energy light comes with a 9.5V AC/DC adaptor
that operates on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts to allow
worldwide use.The adaptor comes with a set of exchangeable adaptor
plugs that t most common worldwide wall outlets (model HF3331 only).
1 Put the adaptor in the wall outlet.
2 Insert the appliance plug into socket on the appliance (Fig. 2).
Only the outline of the charge indication is visible.,
As the battery charges, the four bars of the charge indication ash ,
one by one and ll as the charge increases.
When the battery is fully charged, the charge indication stops,
ashing.
Note: Charge the goLITE BLU at least 8 hours before you use it for the rst
time. Charging normally takes 3 to 4 hours.

sessions.

3 Place the goLITE BLU approximately 20-30 in./50-70cm from your
eyes in such a way that the light bathes your face from the
side (Fig. 5).
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.

ENGLISH 19

Question Answer
Do I have to
take off my
glasses when I
use the goLITE
BLU?
No, you can use the goLITE BLU energy light with
your glasses on. Do not wear tinted glasses or
sunglasses when you use the goLITE BLU, as these
glasses reduce its effectiveness.
Does the
appliance have
any side effects?
The goLITE BLU is safe if used according to the
instructions.Temporary headaches or nausea have
been reported.These effects are usually solved by
sitting further away from the appliance.
Can I get
sunburn from
using the
goLITE BLU?
No, the technology used in the goLITE
BLU eliminates all UV light.
I have heard
that light can be
dangerous. Can
the goLITE BLU
damage my
eyes?
The goLITE BLU emits safe levels of blue light,
according to current standards. However, if you suffer
from an eye disease or have a history of eye disease
in your family, consult your ophthalmologist before
you use the goLITE BLU. If you have a temporary
eye problem, wait until it is resolved before you use
the goLITE BLU.
The goLITE BLU energy light is safe if used according
to the instructions.The appliance is free from any
ultraviolet light risk to the eye and it produces a safe,
diffused eld of light. The appliance has been tested
for ocular safety.
As with any bright light source, do not look into the
light too long. The benecial reaction happens when
the photoreceptors in the eye are stimulated. Since
these photoreceptors lie in the periphery of the eye,
you get a better result if you place the goLITE BLU
at a slight angle to your face.
ENGLISH20

Question Answer
Should I use the
goLITE BLU
every day?
You can use the goLITE BLU energy light daily,
especially during the winter months. Many people
nd that they do not need the light in summer.
Others use it year-round because they spend most
of their time indoors and do not get the right kind of
light signals to boost their mood and energy.
Can the light
cause harm to
children or
pets?
No.The light is safe to be used around children and
pets. However, do not let children play with the
appliance.
Can I use the
goLITE BLU
more than once
a day?
For most people, it is sufcient to use the goLITE
BLU once a day. Keep in mind that you may have
trouble falling asleep if you use the goLITE BLU too
late in the evening.
How long do
the LEDs last? If you use the appliance 30 minutes a day throughout the year, the LEDs have a lifetime of over 50 years.
What if one or
more LEDs
stop working
prematurely?
In the unlikely event that one or two LEDs fail
prematurely, you can continue to use your goLITE
BLU normally because its effectiveness is not
affected. However, if several LEDs stop functioning,
call 1-866-832-4361 for assistance.
