Most people feel more energetic and fit 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.
Watch the Light therapy product range video and discover how Philips can help make you feel more energetic with simulated natural light.

The Wake-up Light wakes you up in a natural way, with light that increases gradually simulating the sunrise. From now on waking up will be a pleasant experience.
View Wake-up Light product rangeStarting 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.
The Wake-up Light will gradually accompany the light with sound when the highest set light intensity has been reached. You can choose to wake up with pleasant natural sounds or your favorite FM radio station.
You can even add new sounds and music via USB, to wake up with a new sound everyday. You can download specially developed songs or use your own MP3 music collection.

In the bright summertime, it is a lot easier to start the day energetic and retain your energy. Light plays an important role in our daily lives. Working with scientists and experts in the field, Philips developed a range of energy light products to help you restore and retain energy, fight winter blues and seasonal affective disorder (s.a.d).
See all energy light productsThe light must touch 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.
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 or seasonal affective disorder (s.a.d.). 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!
Traveling between time zones can cause sleep difficulties or lack of alertness during your day. Recent science has shown that the type of light found in the Philips goLITE BLU can help you to adjust to a different time zone or feel alert when you need to.

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.
Very easy to use and the results from using the device are impressive even after a short time.
Love the portability. I've been able to take it out of the house and show it to 3 friends.
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.
If you've ever said 'I'm not a morning person', then the world's biggest Wake-up Challenge should interest you.
We are looking for people who have trouble waking up to test whether the Wake-up Light can turn you into a morning person. In other words, someone who wakes up feeling more refreshed and finds it easier to get out of bed.
It's just the thing for the darker winter mornings when it's harder to get going.
Can we change the way you feel in the morning by changing the way you wake up? See the Wake-up Challenge on Facebook to find out.
The Snoozer always wants a few more minutes. For what? To fall back to sleep? What's an extra five going to achieve? It's now or never, Snoozer!
Wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and lets EVERYONE know about it. Avoid at all costs until 10am. Very nice in the afternoons, though.
Can only communicate in a series of caveman grunts. Actual words need at least two cups of coffee.
Talk about Dawn of the Dead. This one may be up, but it shuffles around without a functioning brain. Only a shot of coffee to the head will stop it.
The Corpse never seems to hear the alarm. Shake him, shout at him, play music down his ear. It won't matter. He's a deadweight.
First out of bed, first to the gym, and first one at work. Never gets stuck in traffic, because the traffic isn't up yet.
So positive and full of energy in the morning, there must be something wrong with them. Whey they say 'Good morning!!!' you can hear the exclamation marks.
Do you live with someone who struggles to get up in the morning? Who needs at least five coffees before they feel awake? If so, they could be one of the people we are looking for.
Remind you of anyone?Whether you take part in our Wake-up Challenge or not, you can download the Philips Wake-app to see how well you wake up. The App tests your alertness, mood and ease of getting out of bed. Try it with your normal alarm first, and then try it with the Wake-up Light to see the difference waking up to light can make.

Could our sunrise simulator fool a rooster into waking up well before dawn?
We gave the Wake-up Light to the hardest town in the world to wake up in: Longyearbyen, in the Arctic Circle, where the sun disappears for 4 months. Would waking up to light on the dark winter mornings make a difference?
