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. For more

Understanding Light, Health, and Circadian Rhythms
The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions.
Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and digestion. These daily internal cycles,
called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in an unregulated body clock.
Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A modern day no longer starts at the
crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 p.m. Workdays are getting longer and many people face shift work sched-

ules. Additionally, the advent of electric lighting allows social gatherings and personal activities to extend
well into the night. These factors have diminished the body’s natural ability to regulate the body clock.
Circadian Rhythm Imbalance
When our circadian rhythm becomes imbalanced, the body produces the wrong hormones, chemicals,
and neurotransmitters at the wrong time of the day. The results range from feelings of sadness to sleeplessness to lack of energy. Many people suffer from a loss of energy and mood that can last for a short
period of time to more than a couple of weeks. For many, these feelings come on stronger in the winter
and in darker climates.
