Safe and Effective
According to independent ocular safety testing, BLUEWAVE light is safe when following
the recommended usage guidelines. BLUEWAVE technology in your goLITE BLU passes
ICNRIP/ACGIH threshold value limits at only 15% (light energy exceeding 100% is
considered potentially hazardous). The effectiveness of the type of light in BLUEWAVE has
been researched and advocated by leading medical universities. For more information,

Understanding Light, Health, and Circadian Rhythms
The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain
internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and
digestion. These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync,
resulting in an unregulated body clock.
Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A modern day no
longer starts at the crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 p.m. Workdays are getting longer and
many people face shift work schedules. Additionally, the advent of electric lighting allows
social gatherings and personal activities to extend well into the night. These factors have
diminished the body’s natural ability to regulate the body clock.
