Red Light Therapy and Heat! Where does it come from?

Red Light Therapy and Heat! Where does it come from?

Red Light Therapy and Heat! Does red light therapy create heat? Well, it depends on several factors and the context. With red and near-infrared LED light devices, heat generation is an important consideration. Heat generation can be caused by 3 main factors: 1. Wavelengths used 2. Intensity of the wavelengths 3. The LED device heating up Heat can affect the user who will feel warming or burning on their skin due to longer wavelengths or high intensity light. Or heat will be produced and contained within the device itself, sometimes needing a fan to keep the LEDs or Laser cool...

Beam Angle for LED Red Light Therapy: Do Degrees Matter?

Beam Angle for LED Red Light Therapy: Do Degrees Matter?

Once you are familiar with all of the important parameters of wavelengths, intensity, flicker, and nnEMF that we cover in previous blog posts, it might be time to dig deeper into what other design choices might be important for Photobiomodulation devices. One interesting topic is the Beam Angle! This describes the angle at which light is emitted from the device. If you can imagine in 3D space, light is being emitted as a kind of semi-spherical cone outward from the light source.  The angle of this cone is important to determine how to best use the device. For example wide...

Red Light Therapy and EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency): What to Look For?

Red Light Therapy and EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency): What to Look For?
Red Light Therapy devices rely on electricity to produce the benefitial energy for photobiomodulation. As with most appliances, magnetic field, electric fields, or dirty electricity might be produced. We explore the different types of EMF associated with Red Light Therapy and what causes them.

Flicker in Red Light Therapy: What to Know

Flicker in Red Light Therapy: What to Know
Red light therapy or Photobiomodulation is the growing rage in alternative health strategies. Can there be any possible downsides? We investigate the nature of flicker, how it originates, and quantify flicker in our GembaRed products better than any other company in the market.
