What is the best way to measure intensity of red light therapy panels at home?  In our last part in this series about the Tenmars TM-206 we detailed how we have sent several cheap solar power meters to our 3rd party lab to develop correction calculators so you can take accurate measurements at home! This time we will look at the 2nd most popular solar power meter used by manufacturers and self-styled experts - the TES 1333 Solar Power Meter! To save you even more money, we bought the General Tools DBTU1300 Solar Power Meter on Amazon, which is an even...

What is the difference between Red, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Far-Infrared (FIR) light therapies? Is one better than the other? Are there cases where a particular wavelength or micron range is more effective? Should you choose a Full-Body LED therapy panel or a Far-Infrared Sauna? A Near-Infrared sauna? What about LED Pads, Infrared Pads, LED Bulbs or Infrared bulbs? Generally Far-Infrared technology is used for heat therapy and detox, while Red and Near-Infrared is used for the non-thermal application of light for deeper penetration and sub-cellular up-regulation. This may be all people need to know for a basic understanding of the...

What is the real intensity of a red light panel? How does Beam Angle really relate to the intensity distribution and coverage area? Of course we can't talk about intensity without acknowledging the scam that most red light panel manufacturers are lying about intensity with cheap solar power meters. But lets, just for this blog, imagine a world where manufacturers aren't lying about intensity. That we are all seeking the common goal of scientifically analyzing these panels so we can offer the most evidence-based understanding of these products. How would we truly quantify the intensity output from a red light...

 The next generation of red light therapy panels have arrived! The signature feature of the next-next-gen red light panels is the inclusion of pulsing! And handles on the back apparently. As predicted in our previous blog on pulsing, the advent of Joovv incorporating a pulsed mode in their panels has led the way for copycat brands to start incorporating the same features. The shameless "Equate" or "Kirkland" generic type brands of this industry like RedTherapyCo (RedRush) and infraredi are the first major brands to add pulsed features to their panels, and they will be generous enough to offer it at...

Most red light therapy full-body panels come with door-hanging accessories to set them up in the home. Hanging red light panels on doors is what made them such a viral "hack" for getting affordable full-body red light therapy. It is cheap, simple to set up, and can get you doing full-body red light therapy in just minutes. However, we often notice that doors aren't always the best place to hang a red light therapy panel. Sometimes there aren't any convenient doors to put it on, the outlet isn't nearby, the cord causes a trip hazard, or the panel can flop...
