I found the goLITE product online and I know a lot of people are looking for some natural help when it comes to
Seasonal Affective Disorder. Anyway here is a review for the goLITE BLU Light from the Boston.com
"It might be hard to imagine anything helping on a day when I crossed nine time zones on a recent trip to Europe. But the goLITE BLU from Philips worked wonders in fending off jet lag. The portable light box has 66 LED bulbs that emit a soft, diffused light that helps you adjust your body clock even before you leave. The low-intensity blue light slowly alters your body's production of melatonin (the "nighttime" hormone), thereby reducing or eliminating the effects of jet lag. The unit comes with international travel adapters and is available for $279 at lighttherapy.com or by calling 800-545-9667. Or keep an eye out for it at Target, Brookstone, and Amazon.com."
I have never tried this product but from the outside it looks pretty good. Here is some more information from their website
BLUEWAVE Technology
Patent-pending BLUEWAVE technology is the result of ten years of research with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). While other companies may tout the benefits of this new research, only we have actually participated in the research.
Technology of the future
BLUEWAVE is significant because it provides a higher effective response than most full-spectrum light at 1/10th the intensity of traditional 10,000-lux light. That means you can get effective treatment in about half the time of traditional 10,000 lux light therapy.
Because BLUEWAVE is so effective, all of our white light BRITEWAVE products have also been enhanced with BLUEWAVE technology.
Safe
The BLUEWAVE technology has been safety-tested by optical safety experts. With BLUEWAVE, light therapy is not only convenient but easier on the eyes with fewer side effects.
Twice as effective
Although other light therapy products, including 10,000 lux boxes, contain blue light, the majority of their spectral energy is counterproductive. Eliminating these unnecessary wavelengths increases effectiveness and significantly reduces overall intensity. Seasonal Affective Disorder
Low-intensity blue light (470 nm) is twice as effective at shifting circadian rhythms and suppressing melatonin compared to 10,000 lux fluorescent and white LED-based products.
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.
