Full Spectrum White + NIR Sunlight Bulb
Our advanced photonic technology has helped create a white + NIR light therapy bulb unlike anything else on the market. Just like the Sun, these novel LEDs provide not just visible light but also ~50% photon flux in the invisible near-infrared (NIR). This is made possible using proprietary optical structures and materials developed specifically to work with standard LEDs. Unlike othe
r types of deep red and infrared lamps, our retrofit NIR light bulbs can be used for general lighting while delivering continuous energy going beyond 1000nm into the infrared (IR). The bulbs provide high-quality (CRI>90) visible white for indoor and outdoor lighting, with no flickering, no buzzing and no delay for maximum eye comfort. In terms of visible light, the NIR light bulbs can deliver a wide range of brightness depending on power level and color temperature, in addition to the invisible IR. Visible brightness ranges from ~200 lumens (Candlelight A19), ~750 lumens (14W BR30), ~1000 lumens (19W A21), and ~2000 lumens (5in color changeable BR40).
We are now shipping 9W/12W/14W/19W A19/A21 and BR30 versions of all the bulb colors shown below in addition to the higher power BR40. Those are available in the standard E26/E27 Edison medium screw base. For details on the 50W high brightness BR40 color-changeable version capable of generating nearly 2000 lumens with NIR, click on the left image.

Therapeutic infrared lamps and bulbs come in all shapes and sizes and they have gained in popularity following the numerous studies confirming the benefits of body exposure to NIR light. Many commercial products claim they can help with muscle regeneration and pain relief, but those claims are often not supported by the type of NIR and red light sources used in such products. The majority of deep red and NIR sources on the market today have narrow-band spectral characteristics since they tend to rely exclusively on LEDs and/or lasers.
Full spectrum white lamps are more beneficial than narrow-band (red/NIR) and visible-band (white with no IR) light for several reasons. They help us experience colors in a more natural way consistent with what we are accustomed to outdoors while providing our physiology with the necessary deep red and NIR energy. The spectral data below helps illustrate the differences between our light color experience when using a standard LED bulb versus our full spectrum (Vis+NIR) lighting technology.

Following more than 25 years of research and development into advanced optical materials, our company has demonstrated and built a wide range of infrared and deep red broadband light sources using advanced photonic structures. These optical structures can deliver deep-red, NIR, and SWIR (Short Wave IR) light emission using phosphor-converted LEDs (pcLEDs), while achieving a full and continuous color band. Unlike conventional LEDs, the NIR-to-visible spectral ratio from our bulbs is comparable to that in the solar spectrum. The full range of IR bands available makes it possible for the produced light energy to reach beyond the subcutaneous tissue or deepest layer of the skin and into the muscles. This is made possible using advanced optical materials matched to existing solid-state lighting technologies typically used in conventional LED bulbs. For example, the full visible+NIR spectrum shown above was achieved by converting a standard LED with excessive blue light and no NIR or deep red energy into a full spectrum visible+NIR comparable to what we experience during the early morning or late afternoon sun.
