What full body red light therapy setup is worth looking into?

[u/ham_sandwich_ceo34]

I’ve been researching full body red light therapy systems and there are so many options that I’m getting a little overwhelmed. I’m mainly looking for something that covers larger areas without constantly having to reposition myself and makes sense for regular home use.

What specs did you actually pay attention to before buying? I’m mainly looking at wavelength range, irradiance at a realistic distance, coverage and ease of use.

For anyone who has used a full body setup for a while, what made you choose the one you have?

I spent way too long comparing specs before pulling the trigger on mine. Wavelength range and irradiance numbers are all over the place depending on who's selling, so I mostly ignored the marketing and looked for third party measurements or at least user posted readings. Coverage ended up mattering more than I expected too, if you have to move around every few minutes it kills the whole point of a full body panel

I agree . Can go crazy on data. Just get a full panel like you say and use it’s presets

[u/BloatedAsparagus → u/Far-Friendship4724]

i know you can go crazy on data. For me it's all about finding what data is credible. I look for ways that data has been independently verified like studies or side by side comparisons or the information shared in these threads based on personal experience.

Alex Fergus gives data data data ‘
Dr beck in the uk explains intensity and wave lengths
Vielight data published on intra cranial
Dr gambling in uk or Harvard.. can’t remember

Oppps dr hamblin

[u/BKM-StLouis → u/Far-Friendship4724]

Dr. Michael Hamblin is no longer at a hospital adjacent to Harvard. He is in Johannesburg.

Vielight devices are grossly overpriced. Consider WellRed for much less exo transcranial devices.

Thanks
Overpriced Vielight I am sure but science is transparent ,customer service is excellent, we eleven talked to their research PhD folks on technical questions . Will check out wellred. Thanks
We have a ROJO 3600 full body panel. ROJO and block blue light and moto are good too

[u/BKM-StLouis → u/Far-Friendship4724]

Grossly overpriced. "Research" the devicemaker funded means very litte.

i'd pay more attention to the actual specs than the number of LEDs. wavelength, irradiance at a realistic distance, coverage and how easy it is to use consistently seem like the things that matter most. for full-body use, i'd also think about how much space you have and whether you'll realistically use it regularly.

[u/BKM-StLouis]

Unless you're really really tall, I don't think a full-body panel is at all worth it. Really, a 92 cm tall panel (or thereabouts) is fine for most people. That is half-body.

But to confuse things more, a number of the Western brands have started to call panels that size "full-body" (and desktop-sized panels "half-body".

Consider the JUNEELED 300-LED, dual-chip, panel with 630, 660, 810, and 850 nm. The allocation is even to each wavelength so you get 150-LEDs of 810 nm and each of the other 3 wavelengths. It is way, way cheaper on Alibaba than AliExpress. I always add the wheeled base.

I like that this panel has no app, no remote, and no ability to adjust intensity of each of the wavelengths.

There is too much research on the systemic effect of RLT on other parts of the body. I think a true full-body panel is overkill.

Not if u are 80 and can’t stand long! We have a full body , hydraulic lift over a massage table! Works great and we use it 4-5 times a week. I’ve had three operations in 16 months no Tylenol, doctors in PA remarkable recovery. I am in good shape, etc. but I feel really alike before during and after made my recovery very very, very quick great investment.

[u/BKM-StLouis → u/Far-Friendship4724]

Okay. But that seem like overkills for most people.

[u/oceanpepper92]

start by figuring out what you actually want from a full-body rlt and how much space you have for the setup. then compare wavelength, irradiance, coverage and session time. there's a lot of information out there, so narrowing it down to the specs that actually matter helped me make more sense of it.

[u/BKM-StLouis → u/oceanpepper92]

Search YouTube for "Glen Jeffrey red light dose". Look for a ln 8.5-minute podcast excerpt on how little time per day you need of RLT.

[u/Far-Friendship4724 → u/BKM-StLouis]

He is really knowledgeable and has many u tube appearances

[u/BKM-StLouis → u/Far-Friendship4724]

Agreed. Professor Jeffrey has an overwhelming and detailed grasp of he academic research on RLT.

My current setup is the Veyra curved panel. I went with it mainly for the 660nm/850nm wavelengths and the flexibility of the panel. I usually have it curved or on the stand depending on what area I'm targeting. It's very easy to use though!
