Customer Reviews of Philips GoLite P1 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy DeviceCustomer Review: Three units out of three purchased were defective out of the box or died within less than a month.I purchased this unit a month ago. In fact, I bought three in succession -- none of them worked. First unit I bought had two LEDs which didn't light. At this price, I brought it back an exchanged it. I plugged the second unit into an outlet to test it out before leaving the store -- it also had two LEDs which didn't light. I should have known better by then, but I exchanged this second unit for a third one, which seemed to work. It took merely a week's use for two of the LEDs to stop functioning. Now, some 20 days later, the entire unit stopped functioning -- no display, will not light. Three units out of three purchased were defective out of the box or died within less than a month. I am now going to go return it for good and will purchase some other brand of light therapy device. Unless you want to risk wasting 200$, I'd recommend that you do the same. Luckily, I'd actually purchased the product at a local store, otherwise I'd have had to go through the hassle of mailing all the defective units back to Amazon, as well.

The patent-pending Bluewave technology is the result of 10 years of research with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Although other companies may tout the benefits of this new research, only Apollo Health participated in the actual trials. In fact, Apollo is the only company to produce lights that provide 100 percent of the effective blue light spectrum. Bluewave is the most important because it provides a higher effective response than most full spectrum light at one-tenth the intensity of a regular 10,000 lux light therapy device. This means light therapy is not only convenient, but easier on the eyes with fewer side effects. Because Bluewave is so effective, all of the Apollo Health Britewave products have also been upgraded with the new technology. It is clear: Bluewave is the light therapy technology of the future.
Apollo Health recommends keeping the GoLite P1 at 20-22 inches from your face. Once you are comfortable with using the device, you'll be ready to take advantage of the GoLite P1's fully programmable interface and advanced features. This light therapy device is equipped with an adjustable treatment timer with an automatic shut-down, a protective flip cover, long-lasting eye-safe LEDs, and an anti-glare diffuser lens. After you've established your personalized treatment schedule, the GoLite P1 will remember your personal settings. For your convenience, the GoLite P1 has a built-in clock and a backlit digital LCD display. And as the world's smallest light therapy device, the GoLite P1 weights less than one pound. This device is UL, CUL, and CE safety listed, EMF-free, UV-free, and comes equipped with a two-year limited warranty.
The following information regarding the use of GoLite P1 has been provided by Apollo Health:
In almost all conditions, less than one hour is sufficient to produce the desired effect. Exceeding one hour may increase the chances of producing too much serotonin. If you begin to feel too energetic, euphoric, agitated, nervous, jittery, etc., you will want to reduce the amount of time. If you are using antidepressant medication, you should discuss this with your doctor, as you may need to reduce the level of medication or the amount of light you receive.
Most problems with light therapy happen when light is used for more than an hour. Over the last 20 years, light has been proven to be very safe and effective with no long term side effects or ocular damage. However, just as with other safe medications such as aspirin, too much light can cause problems. If you stay under one hour of light at a time, you shouldn't experience any difficulties.
