Great for Seasonal Effective Disorder

I received the energy light in exchange for my honest review.
Here`s my take on it: I am surprised at the quality of this light. It really does make you feel more energized, particularly in the winter when it seems like you`re living in dark world all the time.
The product itself is incredibly straightforward to use. What I like best about it is that it is chargeable and small. It is absolutely perfect to bring to work. I usually charge it every few days at home, then I bring it to work (it comes with a case so I throw it into my work bag). You place the light within your line of sight (you don`t have to look directly at it or anything) for a little while in the morning and then I also use it in the early afternoon.
I can definitely tell a difference between when I use it and when I don`t. It`s better than coffee energy; you just somehow feel more rested and contented. As someone who suffers from Seasonal Effective Disorder, it has made my mood even out and I`m feeling just generally better. I highly recommend this light.
The only downside is the app that you can download with it. I don`t think the app is terribly helpful but could be cool which is why it was disappointing. I love data feedback but the app isn`t particularly useful in that regard. However, you don`t need the app to use the light.
Pros: great for seasonal effective disorder
Cons: poorly designed app

Not for me.

I was sent a free sample of this device to try out. I found the idea of it interesting and look forward to trying it out. I brought it to work and set it up as instructed. Since I get to work early, I liked the idea of a product that could improve my energy. Didn`t work for me. I found the light very distracting as I worked and dont feel it helped me in anyway. After a week, I put it away. Maybe it will help you, but I know it didn`t work for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as much energy as I hoped for.

I received this energy light for free to review. I tried it at different times of the day. During the morning is when I feel like it had the most effects. It helped me to wake up. I thought it would do a little more though. While it did give me energy in the morning, it just didn't give the amount of energy I was expecting. The construction of the product was great though. The product was very easy to use as well.

Philips goLITE BLU Energy light
on September 27, 2016

I received the energy lights HF3420 as a free sample in exchange for agreeing to write a review on this product. The assembly of the product was quick and easy. Simply plug the light in to charge and turn on to start using it. I like that it’s small, lightweight with a built in stand and simple to use without a lot of extra buttons or attachments. My first time using this product (immediately after waking up) and after 30 minutes of use, I definitely noticed a change in energy level. I seemed to be more alert and invigorated to start my day. Normally this takes at least 3 cups of coffee!! Each morning I’m excited to turn to this light instead of my usual coffee routine. The light comes with a travel/storage bag which is great if you want to carry it with you during the day or on a trip. There is also a dimming feature to adjust the light which is a great option based on your preference to brightness. Once the battery is full charged it can be used without use the power cord. However, the battery doesn’t seem to stay charged more than 1-2 hours. It would be great if it would stay charged longer. I would definitely recommend this product as it worked for me and increased my energy level.
Pros: easy to use lightweight/compact
Cons: short battery life

I found this light very effective.

I received this light for free to test and review. After reading through the instructions I was able to determine that the right time for me to use the Phillips goLITE BLU was early in the morning to help wake up and get me energized for the day. I turned it on while I was in the kitchen preparing meals for the day and getting the kiddo ready for school. The first morning I used it I noticed right away how much more awake and alert I felt. I didn't feel groggy and I felt more attentive to what I was doing. I can't say I noticed a huge change in my overall alertness for the whole day, but it does recommend for me to use it a second time during the late afternoon to recharge, but I did not do this. I did find that it was very useful alone just in the morning for myself. The light did seem very bright at first but I got used to it very quickly; they recommend using it in a well lit space.
The Phillips goLITE BLU is small, about 5" x 5", and is easily portable for work or around the home. It is battery operated with rechargeable batteries included and a cord for recharging the batteries while in the light. The batteries are not replaceable but can still be used with power/recharge cord. It comes with a neoprene zipper case for storage or taking on the go. The instruction book clearly explains proper use of the light for various types of people's needs, e.g. morning person, night owl, sleep cycle off, winter blues, etc.
Using the light is very simple, you set it in an area you will be for a duration, you do not sit in the front of it or look at the light. Looking at it from the peripheral while doing tasks is sufficient for it to work. There is an on/off button on the lower right side and buttons on the front to adjust the brightness. There is a time indicator bar across the bottom indicating 0-1 hour of use. The battery will last for about 1 hour and can be run with just the power cord.
Overall, I found this light to be very beneficial for waking me up in the morning and being alert for my morning tasks. I would recommend this light to anyone needing this type of product.

Helps me feel energized right away!

I was very excited when I received the energy light to review because I have been feeling like a zombie the past few weeks with a young baby boy who still wakes me up at nights to nurse. When it arrived in the mail I opened it up and right away was impressed with the appearance of the light. It is very sleek and modern looking and comes with a nice black case to store it in. I tested out the features of the light and it is very easy to use. Has a nice stand that clicks out from the back to set upright and brightness adjusters to make the light brighter or dimmer. I really like that it has a timer so you can keep track of how long you've had the light going. The instructions say to use it for 20 to 30 minutes a day and since I usually need energy in the mornings and evenings I have been using it for 20 minutes in the morning while I am getting ready in the bathroom, and 20 minutes in the evening while preparing dinner. I notice a dramatic difference while the light is actually on. Right away when I turn it on I feel less tired and seem to have more energy and ambition to get things done. The energy seems to last throughout the day as I have been feeling less tired. At this point if there are lasting effects to my energy level I feel it is too soon to say. But I will definitely be continuing to use the light because of the difference it has made this past week. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I am very happy with the light and excited to try it out during this coming winter season as I'm sure I won't be getting the sunlight I need in the cold Minnesota winter weather I'll be staying inside. So I am happy with the light and would recommend it to those who are seeking for something to help with energy levels!

mood changer

Philips goLITE BLU is the natural remedy for my seasonal blues. The product does exactly what it promises. I feel more rejuvenated and energized during the daytime. This goLITE BLU is perfect for those drab Midwest winters. It is portable and I can take it to my office when I’m working those late nights overtime. I love the sun but unfortunately Chicago only has 5 months of true summer. This product solves that problem and makes it feel like summer year round. Thank you Philips for letting me try this free sample! It is a mood changer!
