Philips GoLite BLU Light Therapy Device

_Prereamble_Yes it really works. I didn't think it would make a noticable differeence to be honest. I can tell you from personal experience, it does make that big of a difference. At least for me it does. It has made a significant, noticeable difference in my mood, energy, and control of depression.I take a medication to help with chronic fatigue and I am extremely sensitive to lack of sunlight. Living in the pacific northwest is ideal in every way except for the part where you don't see the sun for 9 months out of the year. (My partner just told me to mention that if you are considering moving to Seattle, its 12 months out of the year and it rains constantly.)I ran out of medication the same day the light arrived. Usually it takes around two days before I am unable to function or walk very far. About a week after I started using the light I realized I hadn't even placed the refill request for my medication. It simply slipped my mind. Now I wouldn't go so far as to say it will replace my medication. It is about half to two thirds of the benefit I get from the medication. Combined with a lessening of depression, I was astonished when I realized I hadn't even noticed my meds were empty.I am simply blown away that something as simple as light can make such a huge difference in my mood and energy._Glare_I read other reviews of other lights before picking this one and couldn't quite understand the whole glare thing. If I placed it on the table next to my chair so the light is shining on the side of my face, it wouldn't bother me right? Despite my ignorance on the problem I went with this model instead of the much less expensive one because reviews specifically stated that this was had an anti-glare light. Being on a fixed income means the extra cost was significant for me.I am glad I followed my intuition and paid attention to the reviews. Glare, even with the anti glare feature, is quire intense no matter where I place the light. The ones that do not control glare would have been unusable. Its like a small sun and I'm positive looking directly at it would yield similar scorched eyeballs. As much as I like testing things, I'm not going to prove this theory. I'll wait until my brother comes to visit. I am used to the light now and prefer to have it on when watching TV because it is soothing and warm. This model dampens the glare quite a bit so its not the annoyance it could have been.I highly recommend an anti-glare model of any light of this type._Features_I couldn't be happier with this light.- I can get two hours of light out of it before a recharge.- The blue glow is calming.- It has a timer and can be used as an alarm as well.- The intensity of the light and the LCD light levels can be controlled.- The LCD is a touch screen control.- It has a handy little leather-ish pouch for travel. Its compact and easy to stow away.- It has a metal rod that acts as a stand. The rod stores away in a pocket on the back of the device. A magnet and impression that matches the rod keep it firmly in place.- It comes with everything you need such as charger and documentation.- Despite the intensity of the light it is not at all hot, nor could you use it as a flash light. I'm not quite sure I understand how it can generate so much glare and not be extremely bright.I am so happy I finally bought this thing. Maybe I'm happy because it helps with depression or maybe its because I really did need it as badly as others said I did.Good luck. I hope you get as much out of your new light as I have mine.

I used to hit snooze for a good hour after my alarm went off every morning. I am NOT a morning person. But this morning, for the first time in months, I was able to wake up instantly, earlier than I have in a long time, and without wanting to hit snooze. It's all because of this little wonder.First of all, this thing needs to be within 2 or 3 feet of your head. The closer the better. That's important. Here's the other notable comments:* You can adjust the intensity of the light (the brightest setting is ridiculously bright for such a small device, almost hard to stare directly at it, even during the day!)* You can set it to chime and light up at a specific time or just light up.* You have to directly look at it at some point, even for a few seconds. It doesn't absorb through your eyelids.* After looking into the light, something strange happens. It just feels like it's time to wake up. I stayed in the bed for a few minutes out of habit, but found I didn't really want to go back to sleep. I started playing with my cell phone because I was actually bored right after I woke up. I imagine it works differently for different people, but for me, it just flipped the "power on" switch in me and I was up!* Try to keep it at eye level. My bed is VERY high and my nightstand is low. I had to rig it to stay on the wall, which is not easy since there is no mounting bracket, just a little stand. This isn't like a wake up light that needs to just turn on and brighten the room. It has to be shining at you. But trust me, it is much more effective than a buzzer or any other alarm clock. I tried the wake up light device sold by other companies, the lamps that get brighter by the hour, and they were not bright enough to work. This little device does the trick.* It's expensive, yes, but it is rechargeable and can go anywhere you go. It is also extremely effective. I think the benefit of waking up refreshed and on time each day, without the stress of rushing to work, is well worth the cost.

新品を購入したので、日本語版の取り扱い説明書が入ってて非常にわかりやすかったです。

Really helps in the winter months. Small and convenient. Very bright. Controls can be a little confusing so keeping the manual is a must. Works great. I love the little magnetic stand.

I use it as an alarm plus, in the winter, every once it a while I use it to try and get extra light. I don't know if it really works. It's easy to use and the light is powerful. The size is easy to carry around and even keep in a bag for travel. The charger cord is long enough to let it sit on your nightstand. The small foot for it to stand is magnetic, and can store inside a hole in the light for travel. That's nice. I haven't use the "travel case" or whatever that it came with. The light is still going strong.
