BRITEWAVE® Technology

When your body clock doesn't get the right type of light, it can make you feel tired and moody. But the right light at the right time will reset your sleep, mood, and energy cycles, so you can sleep better and feel great during waking hours. BRITEWAVE® Technology safely and quickly provides the light your body needs.

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 Can You Expect From BRITEWAVE® Technology?

Apollo's BRIGHTWAVE® light performs three important functions:

  1. Respond in a few days instead of weeks.
  2. Reduced treatment time to 15 minutes/day.
  3. Higher response rate with improved quality of response.
  4. Feel more active during the day.
  5. Sleep better at night.
  6. 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 problems like Winter Blues 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.

BRITEWAVE® Vs. BLUEWAVE®

BLUEWAVE® is different because it provides only the effective bandwidth of light. It is more effective than 10,000 lux full-spectrum light, and because of reduced intensity, it is easier on the eyes and causes fewer side effects. BLUEWAVE® technology is also the most convenient to use.

BRITEWAVE® combines 10,000-lux light with BLUEWAVE® and is ideal for those who prefer bright sunlight, but also want the benefits of BLUEWAVE®. Both technologies are more effective than conventional full-spectrum light therapy, but because BRITEWAVE® products produce larger treatment fields, they may also be considered for children or those with more severe symptoms.

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.

Patent Pending

BRITEWAVE® Technology is a patent-pending technology exclusive to Apollo Health. 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.
