Not All Lights Are Created Equal
It's a commonly misunderstood technology. Most individuals are lead to believe that as long as the nanometer range of a light is the same, it will function the same way. In our research, we have found that this is only one component of an optimal device.
Important things to consider:
-
Nanometer range: this is the wavelength of the device. Photonic red lights betwen 635 and 660 nanometers are proven to be in the therapeutic range for most soft tissue injuries.
-
Milliwatts: this is the "engine" that pushes the light out of the device. Most battery operated units run between 9 and 60 milliwatts. The Photonic Health Light is about 97 milliwatts.
-
Candela: this is the unit by which the brightness of the bulbs is measured. The Photonic Health Light uses the brightest bulbs available today.
-
Quality of the bulbs: this is important, as the quality of your device is an investment. You will not want the inconvenience of having to purchase a new unit every year or two because the bulbs used were not of good quality. Our bulbs will last a lifetime, guaranteed.
-
Durability: working with horses can have its unpredictable moments, so it's important to have a unit that is made to be durable. If it has a plastic housing the potential exists for it to be dropped, kicked, or stepped on. When plastic breaks, it often splinters, creating potential harmful sharp edges. The Photonic Red light is waterproof and crush proof up to 2,500 pounds.
-
Output Power- this is the most important aspect to consider when comparing devices. This is the power that comes through the end of the unit that the patient receives.

When considering a Red Light Therapy device, you need to consider many factors. In addition to the quality of the device, reliability, water resistancy, and the most important factor in deciding on a device is the output power. This is the power that comes out of the end of the device. It is the determining factor on depth of penetration and the quality of the effectiveness of the therapy.
Most devices advertise a power strength in milliwatts. However, this is the power coming from the engine. This is measured at the end of the unit (where the light comes out of the device). While other devices may have more bells and whistles, Photonic Health offers the strongest output power of any handheld, battery-operated device on the market.
Take a look at the charts comparing our Pro Model with other devices. As you can see our Pro Model outperforms our leading competitors by a significant amount. Our device is truly professional grade.
So, when you are considering purchasing a light therapy device, be sure to ask about the output in milliwatts per centimeter squared.
