Customer Reviews of goLite M2 Portable Handheld Light Therapy Device
Customer Review: Poorly built, unreliable junk! Don't waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased a unit very similar to this one (the P1 model0 a month ago. In fact, I bought three in succession -- none of them worked. First unit I bought had two LEDs which didn't light. At this price, I brought it back an exchanged it. I plugged the second unit into an outlet to test it out before leaving the store -- it also had two LEDs which didn't light. I should have known better by then, but I exchanged this second unit for a third one, which seemed to work. It took merely a week's use for two of the LEDs to stop functioning. Now, some 20 days later, the entire unit stopped functioning -- no display, will not light. Three units out of three purchased were defective out of the box or died within less than a month. I am now going to go return it for good and will purchase some other brand of light therapy device. Unless you want to risk wasting 200$, I'd recommend that you do the same. Luckily, I'd actually purchased the product at a local store, otherwise I'd have had to go through the hassle of mailing all the defective units back to Amazon, as well.
Description of goLite M2 Portable Handheld Light Therapy Device
Advanced Mood Relief For:SAD Winter Blues Sleep Disorders Jet Lag Fatigue For many years, the world's leading light therapy researchers and doctors have known that full-spectrum, 10,000 lux light boxes can be very effective at treating seasonal affective disorder and other circadian rhythm related mood disorders.Recently, researchers have discovered that a very specific range of blue light is the most effective color (wavelength) in treating these disorders. The goLITE M2 is a patent-pending product that delivers only the most effective wavelengths, which means a more convenient treatment, and fewer side effects than traditional 10,000 lux full-spectrum light therapy devices.What is the GoLite and How Does it Work?These lights help lift your moods during the day, improve sleeping cycles and quality of sleep, help avoid jet lag illness, and irregular sleep patterns and energy deficiencies due to shift work.They improve energy levels and help the night owl and early bird return their sleeping cycles to normal while improving the quality of their sleep. The light produces natural sunlight at the appropriate levels to achieve these effects without detrimental ultraviolet radiation.Because the reaction is through peripheral stimulation, use the light at a slight angle to your face and do not look directly into the light. For the most effective response sit about 20 inches away from the light.The goLITE will allow you to store up to three different personalized settings (A, B, or C). Each program can be set to run for a specific time, and intensity.Optimizing For Best ResultsFor optimal results you should be approximately 20 inches away. For best results, allow the light to bathe your face. You can read, eat, work at the computer, watch TV, put on make-up or use it while you exercise.Your eyes should be open for optimal results. The hormonal response works through the retina of the eyes, not the skin. This is not a tanning light. In fact, the BLUEWAVE TechnologyTMLight Therapy
