Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to take off my glasses when I use the goLITE BLU?
No. This specialized type of light is designed to work with or without glasses. However, you should
not wear tinted glasses or sunglasses when using the goLITE.
Are there any major side effects?
The goLITE BLU is safe when used according to recommendations. There have been some reports of
temporary headaches or nausea. This is usually resolved by sitting further away from the unit.
Can I get sunburn from using the goLITE BLU?
No. While typical fluorescent bulbs produce small amounts of UV light, BLUEWAVE Technology
eliminates all UV light.
I've heard that light can be dangerous. Can the goLITE BLU damage my eyes?
The goLITE BLU emits safe levels of blue light, according to current standards. In fact, your goLITE
BLU emits less blue light than other traditional forms of bright light therapy like full-spectrum, 10,000
lux white fluorescent light. However, if you suffer from an eye disease or have a history of eye disease
in your family, you should consult your ophthalmologist before using your goLITE BLU. Also, if you
are experiencing any temporary eye problems, wait until the problems are resolved before using the
goLITE BLU.
When used as directed, all of our light products are free from ultraviolet light risk to the eye and
produce a safe, diffused field of light. Our lights have been tested for ocular safety and have been
used in dozens of government and clinical studies.
As with any bright light source, you should not stare directly into the light. The beneficial reaction
happens when the melanopsin photoreceptors in the eye are stimulated. Since these photoreceptors
lie in the peri phery of the eye, you will get a much better outcome if you position the goLITE BLU at a
slight angle to your face.
