Our products use LEDs, which comes with many benefits – but, as it turns out, there can be huge differences between the variety of LEDs out there. So now, we’ll enlighten you on the topic and just why our LEDs are at the highest of quality. Why so? Let us explain:
Our LEDs are dual LEDs.
With dual LEDs, you get to experience the power of all wavelengths at the same time – if you choose to. With our dual LEDs you get to switch between red light (R), near-infrared light (NIR) or both of them at the same time (R/NIR). As another bonus, you will get a uniform area of light on your body.
Why is this so special?
Uniformity has been one of the significant obstacles in the field so far. One problem with how the light is emitted from LEDs is that it’s not emitted evenly over an area. The emission of light is much more concentrated in the middle than the sides of the circle. Only when you’re uniformly lighting the body area you want to tackle; you can get the maximum amount of light absorbed by your body.
Also, when using only one wavelength (for example, only red light at 660nm for a more superficial use, or near-infrared light at 850nm for deep tissue penetration), the light intensity is now higher. These are essential user cases, as both wavelengths switched on mostly serve for general wellness and well-being. Before, when using one wavelength, only half of the LEDs were in action. Now, all the time, ALL LEDs are in operation. We’ve mentioned this a couple of times: the premise of all red-light technology applications is that the more light you can shine onto an area of skin, the better.
Connecting the brain to the LED panel
When using our devices with the Brain, it’s important to set both of the switches on the back of your device to the (=) position. This setting links the Brain and the panels, and activates both the control as well as the dual LED setting.
30-degree beam angle.
Beam angle matters because coverage is an essential aspect of what makes a useful red-light therapy device, the more coverage, the better. A beam angle too broad means the LED loses intensity and, therefore, its benefit. If the beam angle is too narrow, you’re most likely not getting enough coverage and need to have a greater distance to your device. With a controlled beam angle, we can emit the light in an even and tighter manner and help focus it precisely onto the area it is supposed to be at your body. With a lot of other devices out there, you have the light kind of all over the room, which is a tremendous atmospheric scenario but not an efficient treatment setting. Most studies have been focussing on lasers and beam angles that were 30 degrees and below. The LEDs in our devices come equipped with a 30-degree beam angle to ensure you’re getting the right intensity and coverage at the same time.
