Recently, there are many customers who have injury health center , chiropractic center or beauty clinic find us and ordered our red light therapy bed, they are mainly order for weight loss or skin beauty. As more and more people are engaging in the career of light therapy for skin beauty, weight loss or pain relief, it’s important to know how to choose a good red light therapy bed. This article combines some research and information from Google's website to describe several important factors in choosing a good red light bed.

Red light therapy uses low-power red light to activate?mitochondria, which are the cell’s energy generators. Most of the energy produced by the mitochondria is housed in a molecule called?adenosine triphosphate?(ATP), which helps your body store and use energy, this wavelength range can best penetrates through tissue. It is more easily absorbed by the parts of cells that capture light energy.?

Depend on different wavelengths combiantion, red light therapy ?can use for improve your skin’s appearance, such as reducing?wrinkles,?scars, redness and?acne, weight loss, physiotherapy of body pain relief.

Sometimes we also call red light therapy as low level light therapy, Low-level laser light therapy,low-power laser therapy,biostimulation, photonic stimulation, photobiomodulation and phototherapy.

What matters when choosing a red light therapy bed?

Irradiance,?wavelength, beam angle?are most important considerations in selecting a red light therapy bed that is right for you.

1)?Irradiance

Light irradiance is the power density of red light over a given area. It refers to the number of photons that are flowing through a certain area and are available for absorption into your cells. In simple terms, irradiance is the amount of light energy output from a source at the point when it connects with its target (your skin), rather than the energy level at its source.

The unit of measure for light irradiance is milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2).It is important to note that the wattage of a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb does not correlate in any way with its power output. Power consumption is unrelated to power density/irradiance. A device might consume a lot of energy but still have a low output, which is generally due to a poorer quality of components used in the construction of the panel. Just because a device has a high wattage number, that doesn’t mean all the power it draws is necessarily being converted to beneficial red light. Likewise, if a lot of heat is being generated from a red light device (which it shouldn’t), a lot of available power is wasted that way as well.

An efficient red light panel will have a lower power consumption level and a higher power density/irradiance.?If power density/irradiance is not considered and only wavelength is factored into the equation of successful red light therapy, you could end up with a low-powered device that will not provide enough red light to be beneficial. No matter what the wavelength, if irradiance is too low, the device will not be as effective in cellular penetration.

A higher power density/irradiance output also makes for more efficient therapy. Greater therapeutic benefits are achieved in less time because the light you are absorbing is more intense.

Unfortunately, many people are paying lots of money for devices that are grossly underpowered.Part of this is because these brands claim irradiance levels at 100mw,cm2, but?only at the surface of the device. Another?important factor is beam angle, which we will talk more about later. The moment you step an inch away from these devices you lose significant power.?

The electronic components we use are all of high quality, which ensures the safe and stable operation of the equipment for a long time.Customized led driver, Customized touch screen control panel, Mean Well power source, Balseal solid relay, High air volume silent fan.

We can show you the real parameters with professional testing equipment(THOR LABS optical power meter/ Tektronix oscilloscope).The optical power can reach 60-80 mw/cm2depend on the different wavelength combination. Whole bed average optical power more than 100-140mw/cm2?tested by solar/megger meter(not so professional equipment but can for reference). For the strips, much higher optical power.

2)?Wavelength

Different wavelengths have different functions, 450nm,635nm,660nm,830nm,850nm,940nm are the most commonly found?wavelengths?in the market.

450nm wavelength blue light can be use for acne treatment and prevention.

635nm waves were proven to create lipolysis in fat cells, draining toxins out of the cell in such a uniquely safe and effective way, ?promote and enhance both blood circulation and the release of fatty acids from fat cells, it may very well be the best method and most effective mechanism to get rid of stubborn fat.?

660nm light?is more surface level and more readily absorbed by skin tissue, improving things like skin health, collagen production, eye health, and even gut health.

Near infrared 850nmlight?penetrates much deeper into the body and is shown to benefit brain health, nerve health, inflammation, joint pain, cellular health and much more.

Our bed support different wavelengths combination as you want, we have a smart controller which support to control each wavelength independently or together, you can select any frequency from 0-5000hz as you want, and also the power is adjustable from 0-100%, it is convenient to meet different people’s needs.

3)?Beam angle

Beam angle is another important factor when it comes to purchasing your red light therapy device. Standard household LEDs are most often equipped with an 120 degree beam angle, while more intense LEDs like lasers can have beam angles that are less than 1 degree!

Beam angle matters because coverage?is an important aspect of what makes an effective red light therapy device, the more coverage the better.

When purchasing your first device, it's important to consider the beam angle becauseif your beam angle is too wide, your LED loses its intensity and thus its benefit. If your beam angle is too narrow, you're most likely not getting enough coverage and need to back up from your device.?

There is a spherical lens on each of our led lamp, the light scattering?angle is ±30°, the light focusing ability is much stronger,we also customize the metal structure to fix the led strip, which can fill up the led strips inside the machine, compact?led strip and no gap. Meanwhile, let the led strip about 1 cm extremely close to plexiglass,so as to better allow the red light to penetrate your skin

The size of our bed is about 190cm*85cm*90cm, this lengths can fit for most people, but there are also many athletes who are taller than 2m, they may think this bed is not long enough, but our bed can cover most part of our body, many customers feel uncomfortable to put their head in the red light bed because the light is so shining.So they choose to put head outside the bed.

Now LED red light therapy beds are increasingly popular innovation with reported benefits for hair, skin, and the body, it can be seen in beauty salon, spa, wellness center, injury health center, chiropractic clinic,etc.?Usually people spend $150-300 for a 15-20 minute red light treatment, if you want to have a red light therapy bed for your own use or for business use, but don’t know how to make the best choice, I wish this article is helpful to you!?
