Customer Reviews of Philips Health GoLite M2 Blue Spectrum Light Therapy Device
Customer Review: It really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my sister for Christmas. She's always suffered from SAD when living in MI. For the last 10+ years her winters have been in San Diego or Colorado Springs. She was concered being back in sunless Michigan for the winter this year and asked for this for Christmas. She works a job that requires her to be on the road in the dark, 7am and is often driving home from work in the dark as well.
After using it approx. 20 mins a day, she feels that she is not suffereing from SAD this year. This is the only theraphy she is currently using to combat SAD.
The unit itself seems to be very well made. The cordless and rechargable features seem a real plus. It's very lightweight and the neoprene type jacket that comes with it, makes it very portable. She sets it up on a couch table, off to her right, to shine on her face while she's watching the morning news, having her coffee.
Customer Review: Poor customer service and false product description for the Philips Health Golight M@2
Summary: 1 Stars
We recently purchased this product for our daughter that lives in another part of the state. After it arrived she was dismayed to learn that because we purchased the GoLite M2 vice the P2, it is an international version and does not have a US adaptor. no mention was made in the product descirption that it would not work in the US. We called customer service and they said it was our fault for not ordering the right product They would not send out an adaptor and said we had to return it at our own cost for a refund. This goes beyond customer "no service" and cost us 20 dollars for not even experiencing the benefit of the product, If you still read the product description of the M2 you are not told it does not function in the US, Amazon has lost a customer for its false advertising and lack of service that cost us money. Yes we are upset with the service.Customer Review: Do your homework before purchasing
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this product and have decided to return it. Although it is very convenient, especially for people who travel frequently as I do, I found the blue light too harsh for my eyes. After speaking with my doctor, I learned that some people with light colored eyes or who generally are a bit sensitive to light may have trouble with the LED blue light in this product. I am going to go back to a traditional 10,000 LUX light. Even then, the products on the market range from very white light to softer colored, more yellow light, all of which can deliver the necessary 10,000 lux. Apollo products are high quality, but very white, and hence too harsh for me. My advice -- do your homework, talk with representatives from several companies, and if possible, visit a store so you can see before you buy how your eyes react to a particular type of light!Customer Review: Amazon shipped opened products, light gave me headaches
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product hoping that it would help me with my up and down energy levels. When I received the product, the plastic bubble wrap the unit was in had been previously opened. As an earlier reviewer had said, when I plugged it in, the unit would make a high pitched noise which also occurred when the display light was on.
I sent it back for a replacement and the second unit was also used before. The packaging was opened, battery already partially charged, and it too made a high pitched sound when plugged in. In desperation, I tried the unit a couple of times before returning for a replacement and the light ended up giving me headaches that lasted several hours. Instead of asking for a replacement, I asked for a refund. It had been used already, didn't work to improve my energy, and made my problems worse.
Customer Review: works for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product to treat seasonal affective disorder. I didn't know I had this disorder until this year. I tried and am using this product. I found it effective in treating SAD. I have been using it since about mid November and have noticed a marked improvement in my SAD symptoms. I believe that the product works best if you use it on a regular basis. You also need to find the time that is best for you to use the device. Prior to using this product I had been prescribed antidepressants to treat SAD, but stopped using them after about a month due to the side effects. I don't want to dissuade anyone from using antidepressants if they need to use them, but this product seemed to work much better for me than antidepressants. I am pleased with this product. I paid over $200.00 for mine , but still consider it to be a bargain.
