Portable light therapy

Advertisement

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 at a slight angle to your face.
Should I use the goLITE every day?
You should use the goLITE daily, especially during the winter months. Many people find that they don't
need the light during the summer. Others use it year-round because they spend most of their time in-
doors and don't typically get the right kind of light signals to regulate circadian rhythms properly.
Can the light cause harm to children or pets?
No. The lights are safe around children and pets. The lights will actually draw many pets to sit by it.
Can I use the goLITE more than once a day?
For most people, it is sufficient to use the goLITE once a day. Keep in mind that using the goLITE too
late in the evening may adversely affect your sleep.
How long do the LEDs last?
Under normal usage, the LEDs are rated for 10,000 hours of use, which at 30 minutes per day all year
round equals over 50 years of life.
What if one or more LEDs stop working prematurely?
In the unlikely event that one or two LEDs fail prematurely, the effectiveness of your goLITE will not be
diminished. You can continue to use your goLITE normally. However, if several LEDs stop functioning,
you should probably have your goLITE repaired to ensure that you are receiving the correct treatment
dosage. For more information, refer to your goLITE warranty card.
