Huge Increase in Energy and Improved Mood!
on September 25, 2016
Posted by: SarahF

I have wanted to try an energy light for years. When I was offered a free sample in exchange for my honest review, I jumped at the chance to try it out. I am so glad I did! The first time I used this light I was in my usual "afternoon slump" of tiredness and I was feeling stressed with my in-laws arriving to visit that night. I turned on the Philips goLITE Blu Energy Light, worked on my computer, and wondered if I would notice any difference. Within 10 minutes of having the light on, I felt a huge increase in energy as well as a lift in my mood. I was honestly shocked. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about the light working at all, and I certainly didn't think it would work so quickly. For the next two weeks I used the light in the mornings or the afternoons each day. Every day I had the same results. I am hooked!
I like that the light comes assembled, all that is required is to fold out the stand and plug in the cord. There is one button to turn it on and off. It is incredibly easy to use. The booklet that comes with the light helps guide the user to the most effective time to use it in the day based on whether they are a morning or a night person, and when they feel tired during the day. The light is portable and easy to travel with and yet is good quality and sturdy. I have taken it on a trip and I am not concerned about it breaking in a suitcase or shattering if it falls off of my night stand.
There are three light settings from bright to brighter to brightest. I wish there was one more additional setting a bit below the current darkest setting. The first time I turned the lamp on it took a while for me to get used just how much light it creates. Of course, if it did have a darker setting perhaps it would not be effective.
Tip for Use: The first time I used the light, I placed it on a table to my side so it was only shining in one of my eyes. For best results, I would recommend placing it in a position so that both of your eyes can pick up the light.
I would absolutely recommend the Philips goLite BLU Energy Light to anyone. If you are skeptical like I was, I encourage you to try it. You truly have to try it to believe it. I plan on purchasing several additional lights for Christmas gifts. If I am seeing this level of results in the fall, I can't wait to see the difference it makes in my energy level and mood this winter!
Pros: increase in energy, improves mood, easy to assemble, easy to use, travels easily, lightweight, sturdy, quality craftsmanship, helpful and easy to understand manual
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked great

I'm reviewing this item that I received for free, the product is well made and had no issues using it. The directions were very easy and in a lot of different languages. I found the product does work great. I normally get lunch around 1230 once I come back I'm so tired. I used it about 30 mins before I went to lunch and when I got back I noticed that I wasn't as tired. The only down fall it that the light is very bright and for the 1st couple of days it gave me a headache. Also since the light is super bright when I would close my eyes I could see a big black spot kinda like when someone takes your picture with the flash on. But overall I would definitely buy this and recommend it to anyone.

Great tool for mid day energy slump

I was a bit skeptical about the light at first. But I noticed great results from the blue light right away. It definitely takes some getting used to but after using it a few days I am accustomed to the brightness and love the increased energy and alertness. I use the light almost everyday at work mid afternoon to help stay focused so I don't go into a mid afternoon slump. I would highly recommend this product.
Pros: easy to use and effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Fiancé has Sundowning disease and truly needs Sunlight to manage his severe symptoms of anger, lethargy, anxiety, depression etc etc.
I bought this light a few weeks ago at the beginning of January. We live in the Midwest. It is very easy to use and does truly seem to help him.
It is certainly worth the minimum expense.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment and help other spouses.
Pros: truly a miracle
Cons: none

Gave me the energy I needed!

This light really surprised me. I received a free sample of this light to review and I was pretty impressed. I live in MN so I know what its like to get low energy over the winter months. I used it this fall and could tell a difference in my energy after using it. I mainly turned it on after lunch (that 2 o`clock crash time), and it seemed to boost my energy and mood after about 20 minutes. I am excited to get to use this in the winter time when its dark and cold outside. Its a nice size to be able to bring to and from work if you need to, and its not very distracting. Overall, I like this product and am excited to use it more this winter!
Pros: light weight, energy booster
Cons: have to plug in
I would recommend this to a friend!

Give it a try!

I received this product for free in the mail to try and review. I was excited to get it because, as a mom of a 5 and 3 year old and a newborn, I`m happy to try anything that might give me more energy to get through my day!
First thoughts as I opened the box - it is an attractive device, looks nice just sitting out. The light is simple - one power button that you can push multiple times to cycle through three levels of light intensity until it turns off. The instruction booklet was very informative and straight forward. I have problems getting going in the morning, so I took the advice of the instructions and used the light in the first couple hours I was up. I used the medium light setting and let it sit on the counter and bathe my face as I prepared and ate breakfast in the morning (about 15-20min.) I was skeptical, but the first use I did notice myself feeling more awake and alert than I normally do, the effect lasted for a few hours. I have been using the light daily now for a few weeks and I am impressed! I have noticed a significant increase in energy in the mornings but I`m more impressed with how it has effected my mood. I find myself feeling less grumpy and anxious, I am calmer and more relaxed throughout the day - which is helpful when you`re parenting a three-nager! I will continue to use this to give myself a boost in the mornings for sure.
My only complaints are that it is hard to find 20-30 to sit and let the light bathe your face, but that may just be me and my busy schedule. I also experienced a few headaches in the first week, but that has passed.
I`d recommend to try!
Pros: effective, attractive design, easy to use
Cons: mild headaches, hard to find time to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Let me first begin by saying that I received this product for free in exchange for writing this review. When I was approached with this offer I was intrigued with its claim and was looking forward to seeing how this device will give me more energy by looking at a simple blue light.
Unfortunately, I was out of the country when they shipped me this product so I would not be able to thoroughly share the true effects and claim of this device with the allotted amount of time.
That being said, let’s start with the packaging, I would have preferred to see it come in a thinner box. Not sure why they decided to put this device in such a big box especially since everyone is all about being green.
As for the device itself, I found it to be a very simple clean design but quite big for what it is. I mean, why is something that is just emitting a blue light so big? Initially I thought that is was that big because it had rechargeable batteries or had a compartment for batteries, because the description did say that it was portable, but that is not the case. The power brick is pretty big and as well.
Since I just returned from a 2.5 week trip from the other side of the world, I was curious to see if this device would help with my jetlag. So I brought it to work the very next day and used it as instructed. First I positioned to the right of me and had it on the lowest setting for 30 minutes and then a few hours later I positioned directly in front of me for another 30 minutes with no coffee or any kind of caffeinated drinks. So far 2 thirds of the work day have passed and I’m not suffering from the effects of jetlag, but I’m not ready to say for certain that this device has helped or not.
Overall I would have like to see this product slimmer and since they made this claim that it’s portable that it had rechargeable batteries or battery compartment.

Pros: clean and simple design
Cons: too big for what it does., states it portable but still need to be plugged in
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The brightness of this light is no joke...

even on it`s lowest setting. I have been using the Energy Light for about 2 weeks, positioned near my desktop computer at work in my peripheral vision. I leave the light on for about 15 minutes and have tried all three light settings. While I wasn`t noticing any changes at the lower setting I ramped up to the middle and then high setting. On the high setting the light is just too bright. I found that I was actually giving myself a bit of a headache. My fair and honest review (even though I DID receive this item for free) is that I have not noticed any change-mild or otherwise-in my energy level. I don`t think that using this light is hurting anything but it`s not really HELPING anything from what I can tell. It is aesthetically pleasing and very portable. I`ve taken it back and forth from the office to home several times. I am curious to see how this product might effect me differently during the dreary winter months as it has been rather sunny locally during the time I`ve been using it thus far.
I would recommend this to a friend!
