Red light therapy is a promising new treatment with potential to heal a wide range of ailments, especially when combined with infrared light energy.
Red light therapy lamps are currently being sold in different shapes and sizes. They have gained in popularity following the various medical studies that confirmed the benefits of body exposure to deep red and the near-infrared (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 red and infrared light spectra used in such products. The majority of red and NIR LED lamps on the market today have very narrow spectral characteristics that are limited and do not deliver a balanced deep red with broadband infrared energies.
Unless you are looking for a red or infrared source having a specific spectrum to be used in a clinical research application, then the safest approach from a consumer perspective is to use a light bulb with a red+infrared emission spectrum consistent with what we experience outdoor under the sunlight. Our light conversion phosphor technology can help achieve a more sun-like color spectrum for red light therapy that is matched with the outdoor daylight, including what we experience during the sunrise and sunset.
We can help design better therapy lamp products based on the latest scientific data. This can be achieved using solid-state lighting and proprietary NIR phosphor materials with spectral properties un-matched by any other product on the market. By custom-designing and matching phosphor materials to specific LEDs, the red and NIR parts of the spectrum can be more sun-like ensuring that more infrared energy is available for the deep cells, muscles, and the mitochondria centers all over the body.
The safest red light therapy and infrared healing lamp is one that delivers a balanced full spectrum consistent with sunlight
