Before we get to the “pulse”, we would like to clarify one thing:
Pulsing is not the same as flicker.
“Flicker” refers to any change in the brightness of electric light. The problem: Humans can’t see it with the naked eye, but long-term exposure to light can cause damage or sensitivity problems. If you would like to learn more about the topic of “flicker”, we havehere is a blog article to you.
While flicker is seen as rather unwanted and a hindrance, “pulsing” is different: Studies show that pulsating light at very specific frequencies has many positive effects on people, such as improved cognitive functions, improved sleep and deeper relaxation.
We recommend using the pulsing function – we call it “Brain Boost” – in combination with near-infrared light, as this shows a better effect.
| Flicker | Pulsing |
| not visible to the human eye | visible when using red light |
| may cause damage after long-term use, such as increased stress or headaches | studies have shown benefits in using “pulsing” frequencies, especially when it comes to cognitive functions |
| higher Flicker rates in low-quality LEDs | high quality LEDs show better results |
| not desired | desired for targeted use |
