BRITEWAVE is the only effective
technology
Since 1987, Apollo has
worked with the National Institute of Health and several
universities to determine the most effective light for treating
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Circadian Rhythm and related mood
disorders. The culmination of this research, called BRITEWAVE ™
Technology , combines specific wavelengths, intensity and timing to
produce a much quicker and stronger response than standard 10,000
lux, full-spectrum light.
What does BRITEWAVE
do?
Apollo's BRIGHTWAVE™ light performs three important
functions:
• Resets your body clock, so your
circadian rhythms function normally
• Immediately
suppresses the withdrawal hormone, melatonin
•
Stimulates the production of the active hormone, serotonin.
What you can expect from BRITEWAVE
™ Technology:
- Respond in a few days instead of weeks
- Reduced treatment time to @ 15 minutes/day
- Higher response rate with improved quality of response
- Feel more active during the day
- Sleep better at night
- Greater freedom because of larger treatment fields with more
portable units
Why is
BRITEWAVE ™ superior to full-spectrum light?
Apollo's
research has allowed us to go beyond standard full-spectrum
technology. For example, we've learned that specific wavelengths are
responsible for suppressing the withdrawal hormone melatonin, while
other factors are responsible for resetting your body clock and
producing the active hormone serotonin. As we've incorporated this
technology, we've been able to greatly reduce treatment time while
improving the quality of your response. Years ago, it took 2-3 hours
to produce the response that takes only 15 minutes per day.
Perfect timing
Circadian rhythm disorders like SAD are the result of
a malfunctioning body clock. Since everyone's body clock reacts
differently, you will need light at a specific time. BRITEWAVE
Technology helps you know when to use the light, so you will respond
within a few days instead of weeks or not at all. Other companies
don't understand the science of circadian rhythms and so adopt a
‘one time fits all' approach.
Easier to Use
BRITEWAVE ™ has also made light more powerful and
easier to use. You won't find another product that produces the
treatment field and distance that BRITEWAVE provides. A greater
treatment field gives you more freedom during treatment. And
BRITEWAVE's technology also means your lightbox will weigh less and
be more portable, letting you incorporate it into your routine.
BRITEWAVE ™ is a trademark of Apollo Heath Inc.
BRITEWAVE ™ 's patent-pending technology is proprietary and not
available in other lightboxes. BRITEWAVE ™ is clinically proven and
is the result of nearly 20 years research with the National
Institute of Health (NIH), NASA and several medical universities.
Apollo Health has conducted and participated in more research than
all other companies combined.

Beware of Other Light
Sources
Other light sources lack the intensity, may emit
UV and cannot generate the same wave length, or color spectrum to be
effective.
Only BRITEWAVE has been specifically engineered to
stimulate the production of key substances created by your brain.
Feel better, sleep better. The power of BRITEWAVE Technology.
What is Patent-pending BRITEWAVE
Technology™?
BRITEWAVE Technology™ is
a patent-pending technology exclusive to Apollo Health, Inc.
BRITEWAVE is a combination of specially designed electronic ballast,
bulbs, lens and wiring. The combination of the circuitry and
components generate wave lengths of light while producing an ideal
color spectrum and intensity clinically proven to stimulate key
chemicals that affect a person’s mood, sleep and circadian rhythms.
BRITEWAVE Technology™ is the result of nearly 20 years of
research.
| The Litebook® and Time Traveler™ use bright white LEDs, a new innovation from Nichia Corporation. |
|
|
The breakthrough of white LEDs has allowed The Litebook® to employ bright-white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light source. Possibly the most revolutionary innovation in lighting since the invention of the light bulb, bright white LED's have recently been perfected and are being introduced into the marketplace worldwide in a multitude of applications. White LED's emit an astonishingly bright, narrow beam of light, consume 1/10th the power of a comparable incandescent light bulb, are rated to last up to 100,000 hours, generate no harmful UV rays and almost no heat, and are virtually indestructible.
