Deep, soothing warmth in the muscle and everyday energy, from pure 830 nm near-infrared.
Warmth that goes deeper. Near-infrared reaches farther in than the red you can see.
Recovery support after workouts and long, hard days.
Everyday energy from a light you mostly feel.
Almost no color. Use it at your desk without lighting up the room.
Seconds, not minutes. 320 mW/cm² up close, still 50 at 12 inches.
Hold it or set it. On the included cord, or screwed into any standard lamp.
Why it fits bioenergetic living. 830 nm is one of the two wavelengths that did the most for cytochrome c oxidase and ATP in a key cell study. People build infrared saunas for the warmth; this gives you LED near-infrared in your hand for a fraction of the cost.
As one customer put it: “This does not emit red light, and only emits near infrared so makes it perfect when working in the office and not bothering any neighbours!”
Start 4 to 6 inches from the skin. 10 to 20 seconds on a spot, three to five times a week. If the skin gets hot, move back or stop. Add time slowly.
Do not look straight into the LEDs.
Keep the light dry. Do not cover it while it is on.

830 nm, near infrared, 100%.
The light draws 16.7 watts.
320 mW/cm² at 0 inches
100 mW/cm² at 8 inches
50 mW/cm² at 12 inches
25 mW/cm² at 21 inches
10 mW/cm² at 32 inches
Closer is stronger. Farther is a wider, lighter dose. The light draws 16.7 watts.
How close do I hold it? Start at 4 to 6 inches.
How long? Start at 10 to 20 seconds a spot. Build from there. Heat is the stop sign.
Can I use it on my eyes? Do not look straight into the LEDs.
Which plug do I need? US and Canada, Europe, UK, or Australia. The light itself takes worldwide voltage.
How is this different from a panel? This is the small one. A panel covers more of you at once. This one is for a spot.
Near-infrared at 830 nm is studied for cellular energy at cytochrome c oxidase, recovery, skin appearance and how deep light reaches.
Everyday energy (cellular energy)
830 nm led the packWong-Riley et al. (2005). Journal of Biological Chemistry, 280(6), 4761–4771.PMID 15557336. Of five wavelengths tested on cells, 830 and 670 nm did the most to restore cytochrome oxidase activity and ATP.
830 nm and the enzyme's stateKaru et al. (2005). Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B, 81(2), 98–106.PMID 16125966. Cell layers irradiated at 830 nm showed a shift in cytochrome oxidase.
The 813–846 nm bandKaru & Kolyakov (2005). Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 23(4), 355–361.PMID 16144476. One of the four action-spectrum peaks, where 830 sits.
Why infrared reaches farther
Longer wavelengths go deeperAsh et al. (2017). Lasers in Medical Science, 32(8), 1909–1918.PMID 28900751.
Recovery support
Red and infrared around exerciseLeal-Junior et al. (2015). Lasers in Medical Science, 30(2), 925–939.PMID 24249354.
Skin appearance
830 nm, split-face trialLee et al. (2007). Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B, 88(1), 51–67.PMID 17566756. 830 nm alone, and with red, gave smoother-looking skin and better elasticity readings than sham.
Bioenergetic & low-toxin perspective
Ray Peat wrote often about red light and cellular energy.
"Red and orange wavelengths penetrate tissue very effectively, because of their weaker absorption by water, allowing them to react with pigments in the cell, such as cytochrome oxidase, which is activated (or re-activated) by red light, increasing the production of ATP." — Ray Peat, "Cataracts: water, energy, light, and aging" (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/cataracts-water-energy-light-aging.shtml)
"By the 1960s, several studies had been published showing the inhibition of respiratory enzymes by blue light, and their activation by red light." — Ray Peat, "Aging Eyes, Infant Eyes, and Excitable Tissues" (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/aging-eyes.shtml)
A study Peat cited in "Aging Eyes, Infant Eyes, and Excitable Tissues":
Chen E (1993). Inhibition of cytochrome oxidase and blue-light damage in rat retina. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 231(7):416-23. PMID 8406068. Blue light slowed cytochrome oxidase, the same enzyme red light supports. One reason this light has no blue.

Not a medical device. Do not use it to treat a condition.
Do not look straight into the light. Do not use it on broken skin, or if the skin is already hot or burned.
Stop if a spot gets uncomfortably warm.

"Very happy with price and quality from LGS... service has been excellent."
A family-owned shop for bioenergetic, low-toxin living.
Three-year warranty on the light, one year on the cord and accessories.
60-day no hassle returns. If your light stops working, email us your order number and a quick photo or video and we'll replace it.
I had decided on a second LSG1 when realizing I had none of the complaints of my age group. At the order form,I saw the full InfraRed and recalled reading some studies info on the forum. Using both lights is the best biohack for living through a winter in the north. Good company, quality handheld, best cust serve on the internet.
We are very happy with the light
This does not emit red light, and only emits near infrared so makes it perfect when working in the office and not bothering any neighbours!

My lamp arrived slightly damaged (in transport i suppose) but working fine. It's a shame LifeGivingStore does not provide lab certified power density for their lamps as most places out there exaggerate the mw/cm2 due to wrong tools used to measure it (solar meters). If you don't know the exact power density it's likely you're not getting the optimum dose.
