Product Description
Your body clock affects your sleep, mood, and energy, and it's located near the center of your brain. This is the center that tells you when to be alert, awake, asleep, and it uses light to regulate your sleep, mood, and energy cycles. If you struggle with these cycles, your body clock may not be responding properly to normal light signals. The good news is that you can manage your body clock. When your body clock doesn't get the right type of light, it can make you feel tired and moody. But the right light at the right time will reset your sleep, mood, and energy cycles, so you can sleep great and feel great during waking hours. The goLITE M2 safely and quickly provides the light your body needs. The M2 is easy to use and most people notice a difference in just a few days. See what you've been missing. Your mood and energy levels will improve, and you'll enjoy sleeping again. |

Kinda Noisy...weird by BookLover713 (East Coast, USA)  4 Stars
November 10, 2009
I ordered this thru Amazon at the urging of my pdoc...he said it would help with SAD which happens like clockwork at this time of year to me.
Got the device home, charged it and turned it on...it has a very loud hum to it while in use and an even louder hum while charging.
If you are new to these devices as I am hopefully the benefits will outweigh the humming noise.
Good luck.

Answer to Sleep Troubles by susan (Pittsburgh Pa)  5 Stars
November 02, 2009
I purchased the GoLite to help with my "Winter Blues". My counselor suggested to give it a try, since the fall and winter really do effect my mood. Well, after a month I do see a difference in my mood. Or should I say I'm still in my "spring-summer mode and I haven't experienced the blues. BUT...THE BEST EFFECT of the GoLite is its effect on my sleep. Sleep issues have been with me since I was a child. I NEVER thought I would ever be on a normal sleep schedule. It was an IMPOSSIBLE dream. Well since using the GoLite I find I sleep 8 STRAIGHT hours a night. Having a good night's sleep also helps with my mood and "getup and go". My family can't believe that I am now sleeping and not back at the tv or computer at three in the morning. For anyone with sleep problems this may be the answer you've been searching for.

Extremely Pleased - good product - improving my mood/ decreasing my fatigue by J. Carangal (Maryland USA) 5 Stars
October 17, 2009
I have been using this lightbox for a bit over 2 weeks and am pleased and amazed at the improvements I am seeing. I take medication for seasonal affective disorder/ depression and have also been diagnosed with PMDD. Although my symptoms and mood were dropping quicker this fall than ever before, I did not want to increase/change my medication so I decided to give light therapy a try.
This particular light device is terrific - I received power adapters for any imaginable power plugs; the item charges easily and quickly; it is lightweight and came in a very nice, lightly padded carrying case that also has a handle and seems to be made very well; I love how small and light the actual lightbox is; easy to place and manipulate; variable intensities; has a handy clock.
Light therapy has been great for me. I use the box about 30 minutes a day around 11am (I had been using it in the afternoon (around 4pm) but it was interupting my sleep pattern). I am finding that my mood has lifted and my fatigue has been minimized. Since this box is cordless, I am able to take it anywhere and it has been very easy to fit into my life.

I'd buy another one if this one broke by Martin A. Beechen (Seattle, WA) 4 Stars
August 30, 2009
Overall this is a good product. The sound on the headset is fantastic, and the mic is very responsive and clear. Everyone I speak to using it says that its a dramatic improvement over my previous lower quality mic. The charge lasts quite a while (around 6 hours on average) as well. I've been using it for around 2 weeks now and so far I've been pleased.
My only complaint is that I have a large head and the headset is just a tiny bit too small. This puts a little too much pressure on my head and ears, which after a few hours can get a little annoying. Its a minor issue though, and overall I'm really happy with it. I'd definitely buy it again.

June 17, 2009
Light therapy by Phillips/Apollo, whatever... is changing my life. I get better every day. My sleep patterns (I went from waking up at 4pm to abruptly have to wake up at 7am) have improved and I wake up refreshed. I suffer from clinical depression, Seasonal Affective and am currently getting tirated down on my doses of venlafaxine to quit... only to start on another pos. I don't know what I would do without this light.
Seller has very quick shipping and handling. Completely satified here.
