Well-being by light

Most people feel more energetic and fresh during the bright and sunny summer season when they’re outdoors enjoying natural light. Both sunshine and daylight have a positive effect on us. When we are exposed to the right type of light, it helps to align our daily rhythm or wake up more easily. With this in mind, Philips has developed a complete range of light therapy products that boost your energy by using the unique health benefits light offers.

How does the Philips Wake-up Light work?

Soft rising light wakes you gently

Starting half an hour before your set wake up time, the Wake-up Light gradually fills your room with bright light like a rising sun emitting natural light. The light gently prepares your body for waking up while you are still asleep. So, if the wake up time is set at 7 am, the light will gradually get stronger starting at 6:30. At 7 am the light has reached its highest level, which you can adjust to your personal preference. Choose up to 20 different brightness settings that allow you to use it as a bed lamp as well.

At the set wake up time, your body is ready to wake up and natural sounds will gradually accompany the light. You will wake up feeling fresh.

How does light therapy work?

The light must reach your eyes, but you don’t need to stare at it directly. So, you can use EnergyLight or goLITE BLU to fight low energy levels while eating, working or watching TV. Avoid ‘light baths’ late at night as your sleep might be disrupted.

Use one of these restorative Phlips products and the benefits can be apparent after a few days.

Philips goLITE BLU

When to use light therapy?

In countries with long winters, many people experience loss of energy and low spirits due to lack of light. It’s known as the winter blues. Exposure to a ‘light bath’ received from a Philips EnergyLight can restore the wellbeing and energy levels that you feel in summer.

Do you experience energy dips in the morning, after lunch or in the afternoon? The Philips goLITE BLU can help you to feel alert when you need to. Simply use the goLITE BLU up to 20 minutes to get your natural energy boost when you need it!

Testimonials
Jeff Major

Thank you so much for making such an excellent product. It sits right on my desk at work, where I can use it without any trouble during my workday. I can tell I am sleeping better and feel far less exhausted in the evenings. We've had a very gray winter and this has completely snapped me out of the doldrums. Thanks again.

Bernie Cherak

Very easy to use and the results from using the device are impressive even after a short time.

Erica Skyrman

Love the portability. I've been able to take it out of the house and show it to 3 friends.

Jeannie Locatelli

The winter 'veil' lifted the first time I used it. My energy level has improved and my appetite has gone away. I have no cravings at all. I need to be careful not to use it after 5:00 p.m. I use it once in the morning for 15 minutes and once in the afternoon for 15 -20 minutes.

How does it work?

Comfortable in-depth heating

The latest form of heat treatment uses short infrared rays (IR A). Rather than heating only the skin’s surface, these rays penetrate to a depth of approximately five millimetres. This way more heat is delivered to the tissues than regular contact heat therapies do. It loosens muscles and joints helping you to be more active, even with chronic rheumatic conditions*.

Philips InfraCare is proven to provide safe and effective relief from muscular pain and stiff joints in the comfort of your own home.

Infrared halogen light

Philips InfraCare products use infrared halogen light technology. Infrared lamp emits relaxing warmth that stimulates blood circulation. Increased circulation leads to oxygen-rich blood supply and soothes stressed muscles. The warmth also creates a feeling of well-being, comforts and relaxes us.

*Not to be used in case of acute inflammation conditions. Please read the instructions before using the product.
