Intended use

The Philips goLITE BLU is intended to make people feel more
energetic, to increase alertness, and to provide mood relief from
the winter blues.

If you suer from severe mood swings or depression, make sure to
consult a professional, and do not use this device for self-treatment.

Light - a natural energizer

Today's busy modern lifestyles demand peak performance all day
long. Even the ttest person suers energy dips, particularly when
deprived of natural daylight, such as in an oce in winter. Daylight is
essential to well-being, keeping t and feeling energized throughout
the day – just like healthy nutrition and regular exercise. Philips goLITE
BLU mimics the natural energizing power of daylight on a bright sunny
day. It stimulates special receptors in the eye to trigger the body’s
natural response to sunlight. This helps you to ght energy dips, to feel
more energetic, active and alert, and to improve your mood.

Sleep patterns

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun,
to time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate
energy, mood, sleep, appetite and digestion. These daily internal
cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync with nature,
which can have impact on our well-being. Nature’s cues no longer
govern our modern lifestyle. Our day no longer starts at sunrise and
ends at sunset, working days are getting longer, and many people work
in shifts. Moreover, our activities often extend well into the night. Many
people tend to get too little sleep during the week, which diminishes
their energy levels during the day. Using goLITE BLU at the right time
of day can help you establish and reinforce regular sleep patterns.

English

Light via eyes

Research shows that a special photoreceptor in our eyes is
responsible for regulating our energy, mood and sleep/wake cycles.
This receptor responds mostly to the blue light of the summer sky.
We do not get much of this light in autumn and winter. Most indoor
light does not provide enough of this essential color. This appliance
helps you to be at your best by delivering the wavelength, color and
intensity of light to which our body responds most eciently.

Winter blues

Lack of light during the darker winter months causes many people
to experience a noticeable drop in energy level and low spirits as
autumn sets in. These symptoms, known as 'winter blues', may cause
you to feel low, listless and fatigued for weeks or even months. This
aects both personal performance and mood. Blue light therapy is a
successful method to ght these winter blues symptoms. It provides
your body with summer vitality throughout the dark winter months.

Charging

To operate the appliance corded, connect it to an electrical outlet.
For more exibility, charge the rechargeable battery. Charging takes
approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Note: You can use the appliance while it is charging. The charging
time is longer when you use the appliance while it is charging.

1 Fold out the stand and place the appliance on a table (Fig. 2).
2 Insert the small plug into socket on the appliance (Fig. 3).
3 Put the adapter in an electrical outlet. The charge indicator

pulsates green during charging.

4 When the battery is fully charged, the charge indicator turns solid

green. It continues to light up solid green for 1 hour (Fig. 4) and
then turns o.

Note: When the battery is fully charged, it contains enough energy for
about 1 hour of use at full intensity.

Using the appliance

When to use

Knowing at what time to use the goLITE BLU is essential. It may mean
the dierence between feeling better in a few days instead of weeks
and between experiencing benets or experiencing none. Follow
these guidelines to understand how light aects us and when to use
the goLITE BLU for the best results.

Duration

Most people experience benets if they use the appliance 20 to
30 minutes each day. It is safe to use the goLITE BLU longer, provided
you do so at the correct time of day. You may notice some energizing
eects of light immediately. Other eects become noticeable after
several days of regular use.

English

13

Indoor life and energy dips

If you spend a lot of time indoors with little daylight and articial light,
you can experience the energizing eects of the goLITE BLU very
quickly after you switch it on.

Many people experience a natural dip in the afternoon. The goLITE
BLU can help you counteract this dip.

Winter blues

If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep,
and a lower mood in the dark season compared to spring and
summer, use the goLITE BLU for 20-30 minutes a day. Preferably use
it in the morning to help you start the day. You may also use it later
during the day, but do not use it in the last few hours before bedtime.
If you do, the light could delay your sleep and make you even less
energetic the next day.

Sleep patterns

- Morning persons tend to wake up early in the morning and usually
nd it dicult to stay awake in the evening. If you want to get more
out of your evening, avoid bright light directly after waking up and
use the goLITE BLU in the evening.

- Evening persons nd it dicult to get up in the morning and are full of
energy in the evening. If this applies to you, you need morning light.
Use the goLITE BLU within the rst 1-2 hours after you get out of bed.
Avoid bright light in the last 4 hours before bedtime. Daily use of the
goLITE BLU in the morning may help you establish a regular sleep
pattern that allows you to function better in the morning.

Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your
normal bedtime, do not use the goLITE BLU immediately after you
wake up. This could give your body a signal that is opposite to the
one intended.

Light intensity

Use the goLITE BLU in addition to the normal room lighting. The
goLITE BLU is more comfortable to use in a well-lit room. Adjust the
brightness to a comfortable level. Allow a few minutes for your eyes
to get used to the bright light. If the highest setting is too bright for
you, start using the goLITE BLU at a lower setting. Increase the light
intensity if you feel no eect after a week.

light intensity level. The segment on the left-hand side shows
the lowest intensity level (1), while the one on the right-hand side
shows the highest level (6).

The segment that shows the selected light intensity level lights up
solid, while the others are at a lower light level. For example: when
you choose light intensity level 4, segment 4 will light up solid
while the others are at a lower level (Fig. 9).

use.

No, the goLITE BLU is absolutely safe, also
when you use it throughout the day. However,
in general avoid using the light in the last 4 hours
before you go to bed, as the energizing eect
of the light may interfere with your sleep. Only
'morning persons' who want to get more out of
their evening can use it in the evening.

No, the goLITE BLU has a durable LED lamp that
lasts many years.

No, the battery is not replaceable. If the battery
