Deep, soothing warmth for the spots that sit deeper, and everyday energy, from 760 and 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 barely see.
Almost no color. Easy on teens or anyone who finds bright red light too much.
Seconds, not minutes. 300 mW/cm² up close, 100 at 7 inches, 50 at 14 inches.
Hold it or set it. On the included cord, or screwed into any standard lamp.
Why it fits bioenergetic living. 760 nm and 830 nm are two near-infrared wavelengths studied at cytochrome c oxidase, the enzyme that finishes the job of making cellular energy. This light gives you both, with no blue.
Customers say: “Use this every day.” And: “High quality product and excellent service thank you. Im in Australia & my lamp arrived within 2 weeks and was very well packaged.”
Start 4 to 6 inches from the skin. Give each spot 10 to 20 seconds, three to five times a week. If the skin gets hot, move back or stop, and add time slowly.
Don't look straight into the LEDs.
Keep the light dry, and don't cover it while it's on.

760 nm, near infrared, 50%.
830 nm, near infrared, 50%.
The light draws 14 watts.
300 mW/cm² at 0 inches
100 mW/cm² at 7 inches
50 mW/cm² at 14 inches
25 mW/cm² at 24 inches
10 mW/cm² at 44 inches
Closer is stronger. Farther is a wider, lighter dose. The light draws 14 watts.
How close do I hold it? Start at 4 to 6 inches.
How long? Start at 10 to 20 seconds a spot and build from there. If it gets hot, stop.
Can I use it on my eyes? No. Don't 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, made for a spot. A panel covers more of you at once.
Near-infrared at 760 and 830 nm is studied for cellular energy at cytochrome c oxidase, recovery, skin appearance and how deep light reaches.
Everyday energy (cellular energy)
760 nm and the enzymeKao YC, Lin GY, Cheng JY, et al. (2023). Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B, 241, 112681.PMID 36870246. Red and near-infrared light (including 760 nm) increased nerve-cell growth in a way that depended on cytochrome oxidase.
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.
830 nm and ATPWong-Riley et al. (2005). Journal of Biological Chemistry, 280(6), 4761–4771.PMID 15557336. Of five wavelengths tested, 830 and 670 nm did the most to restore cytochrome oxidase activity and ATP.
The near-infrared action bandsKaru & Kolyakov (2005). Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 23(4), 355–361.PMID 16144476. Cellular response peaks include bands near 760 and 830 nm.

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.
Note: These papers study wavelengths and mechanisms, not this exact light. Individual experiences vary. This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
This isn't a medical device, and it isn't meant for any medical condition.
Do not look straight into the light. Don't use it on broken skin, or on skin that's already hot or burned.
Stop if a spot gets uncomfortably warm.
Keep it away from water and out of reach of children. Unplug it when you're done.

The near-infrared rays of the red light have helped me on a daily basis.
I have utilized it to deal with discomfort after a brain hemorrhage and after muscle fatigue.
I feel that the effects are beyond my expectations.

We already had the LGS11 model which I use often, but my teen found the light too bright and offputting. So we got the LGS8 for her and she likes it a lot. She uses it on her joints (juvenile RA) and belly (GB issues).

As described, arrived quickly. In one week, I have already seen a drastic improvement in my shoulder that has been nagging me lately from an old weight lifting injury. The portability is awesome and I will bring this with me wherever I travel that has an outlet!
