The Philips Electronics company has announced the goLITE BLU, a portable and rechargeable device that offers “quick relief from winter blues” using blue therapy light.

The goLITE is the newest breakthrough in light therapy that provides just the blue light our bodies need (we call it BLUEWAVE technology). Studies have shown that low-intensity blue light (470 nm, like that from the goLITE) is twice as effective at managing our body clocks compared to other sources of light.
