THIS IS THE ALL-NEW M2 MODEL INTRODUCED IN 2007!
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 Technology™ creates specific
wavelengths, which produce effective treatment while eliminating UV hazards and reducing or
eliminating eyestrain.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to stare at the light. As long as you are within
the recommended distance, it will be sufficient enough to receive an effective treatment.
If you find that you feel sensitive to the light, experiment with adjusting intensity (brightness) and
duration (length of exposure) settings.

BLUEWAVE™ TechnologyPatent-pending BLUEWAVE™ is the result of ten years of research with medical universities and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Other companies may tout the benefits of this new research. GoLite is the only product to produce lights that provide 100% of the effective blue light.
Used at NASA & by Research ExpertsBLUEWAVE™ technology is so effective that it has been used at NASA as the preferred method to regulate astronaut’s and shuttle crews’ sleep/wake schedules. BLUEWAVE was also demonstrated at the June 2004 Society for Research in Biological Rhythms (SRBR) Medical Conference, where leading researchers recognized BLUEWAVE as the definitive lighting technology for regulating circadian rhythms.
Technology of the FutureBLUEWAVE™ is so significant because it provides a higher effective response than most full spectrum light at 1/10th the intensity 10,000-lux. This means light therapy is not only convenient but easier on the eyes with fewer side effects. Because BLUEWAVE™ is so effective, all of our BRITEWAVE™ products have also been upgraded with BLUEWAVE™ technology. Indeed, BLUEWAVE™ is the technology of the future.
How is BLUEWAVE™ Measured?10,000 lux vs. Photons/cm2
Because BLUEWAVE™ represents only a narrow slice of the visible light spectrum, it cannot be measured accurately with a lux meter. Lux meters measure the total spectral energy from all visible wavelengths, not specific bandwidths. This is why BLUEWAVE™ intensity is measured in photons/cm2 instead of in lux.

NEW FEATURES!
Internal Lithium-ion battery – Advanced, longer-lasting battery technology provides over 20% more battery life than the P2. That’s enough power for up to 5 treatment sessions on a quick charge and 8 sessions on a full 8-hour charge.
12 or 24 hour clock mode – Set your preferred time format, either AM/PM or 24-hour clock.
Slim international power adapter with interchangeable prongs – Charge your M2 anywhere, no extra accessories needed. The interchangeable prongs are compatible with virtually any power outlet worldwide.
Compact neoprene carrying case – The M2’s new smaller carrying case cradles your goLITE to protect it from bumps, and there’s space for your power adapter, too.
New fresh colors – The M2’s clean white and aluminum finish gives it an updated look.
Now the best selling BLUEWAVE® technology is cordless, which means you can take it anywhere and use it anytime you need. The M2 keeps the best features of the goLITE P1, and with a two hour quick charge, you can easily get up to four sessions of light therapy. The M2 is ideal for those on the go, who may not have time to plug in their light, work the night shift, or travel frequently.
Forgot to charge your M2? No problem, the M2 works with the adapter as well.
Worldwide use: M2 automatically switches from 110 to 240 volts, so you can prevent jet lag or receive light therapy anywhere in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to take off my glasses when I use the unit?
No, this specialized type of light is designed to work with or without glasses.
Are there any major side effects?
The lights are safe. Although there have been a few reports of temporary headaches or nausea, this is
usually resolved by sitting further away from the unit. Research shows no long-term side effects of light
treatment.
Can I get sunburn from using the light?
No. While typical fluorescent bulbs produce UV light, BLUEWAVE Technology™ eliminates almost all
measurable UV light, and is safer than normal indoor lighting.
Should I use the light every day?
You should use it daily, especially during the winter months. Many people find that they don’t need the
light during the summer. Others use it all year around because they work indoors or live in an apartment.
Can the lights cause harm to children or pets?
No, the lights are safe around children and pets. The light will actually draw many pets to sit by it.
Can I use the light more than once a day?
For most people getting treatment once a day is sufficient (use for about 30-40 minutes per day for the first week, then 15-20 minutes per day). However, you can increase number of treatments during the day if necessary. Beware, usage of the light in the evening (past 9:00 pm) can adversely affect your sleep.
How long do the LED light bulbs last?
The LED’s are rated for 100,000 hours (that's over 11 years!) under normal usage, so the GoLite does not need to have it's bulbs replaced.

Ophthalmologic and other concerns
If you suffer from an eye disease or have a history of eye disease in your family, you should consult your
ophthalmologist before using any light therapy device. Also, if you are experiencing any temporary eye
problems, wait until the problems are resolved before resuming light treatment. Consult a physician about light therapy if you are suffering from serious depression;
have any medical or eye problems; or are on medication that affects your sensitivity to light. Formerly Item #42730.
