Understand before you buy. Even if it costs us the sale.
Eight spaces: the research with its sources, what the trials actually measured, how wavelengths behave, our selection rules, and a journal where we publish what we read. None of them contains a promise we cannot document.
Eight ways in
Where would you like to start?
If you are not sure, take the science: everything else hangs off it, and it is the page that explains why we refuse wording you will see elsewhere.
Science
From the 1903 Nobel Prize to the 2026 LED review: sixteen milestones and eleven papers, each linked to its DOI. With a whole block on what this work does not prove.
See the timeline 02Benefits
Nine results, each with its sample size and its level of evidence shown next to it: from 820 patients for pain down to twenty athletes for sleep.
See what was measured 03How it works
The photon, cytochrome c oxidase, ATP. The 600–950 nm optical window. Dose, distance, and why doubling the session does not double the effect.
Understand it 04Wavelengths
The seven spectra from 460 to 940 nm, the relative depth of each, and which device in the range carries it. Without ever quoting a depth in millimetres.
See the spectrum 05How to use
Duration, distance and frequency for each device format, panels and wearables alike. The protocols turn that into seven sessions placed in the week.
Read the guidance 06Our values
How a device joins the range, and the six commitments we hold on this site — including three things we refuse to do, even when they sell.
Read the method 07FAQ
The 14-day trial, the 2-year warranty, certifications, delivery: the questions support gets asked most, and the ones people hesitate to ask.
See the FAQ 08The journal
Our readings of recent studies, our testing protocols, and the questions we get asked most. Published as we go, with no forced editorial calendar.
Read the articlesWhere to start, depending on what you came for
- You are wondering whether it works. Start with the benefits: nine results with their level of evidence, from best established to thinnest. Then Science for the full sources.
- You already know you want one. Go to how it works for the dose, then to wavelengths for the area. Those two pages are enough to compare two devices honestly.
- You are sceptical of this industry. You are right to be: our values list what we refuse to write and why — it is the page that is easiest to hold against us.

660 nm or 850 nm? Which wavelength for which area
Red at 660 nm works in the dermis. Near-infrared at 850 nm goes further. This is not an aesthetic nuance: it decides...
ReadWhat is red light therapy? Definition and limits
Low-power red and near-infrared light, absorbed by an enzyme inside the mitochondrion. That is the definition. The rest — UV, heat, lasers...
ReadPut it into practice
Reading is good. Keeping three sessions a week is what counts.
Everything you have just read assumes a device you actually use. The right format is the one that covers your area and fits into your week — not the one listing the most LEDs.
