Questions We Get a Lot
660nm sits in the visible red spectrum and is absorbed primarily at the surface level of tissue, while 850nm is near-infrared and penetrates more deeply. Most serious protocols use both simultaneously, which is why dual-chip LED designs that emit both wavelengths from a single emitter are worth prioritising over panels that run only one. If you're stacking this modality with sauna or cold plunge sessions, having both wavelengths available gives you more flexibility in how you structure the sequence.
Distance depends on panel output and your target area — closer positioning (6 to 12 inches) concentrates irradiance for smaller or more targeted work, while stepping back to 18 to 24 inches is more practical for full torso or full-body coverage with higher-wattage panels. Most manufacturers publish irradiance charts at specific distances, and those numbers are the most reliable guide. If your panel's documentation includes them, use those figures to calibrate your setup rather than defaulting to a general rule.
Modality stacking is a common reason people add a red light panel to an existing contrast therapy setup. The sequencing is typically a personal preference informed by your own protocol — there is no universal requirement to run red light before or after thermal sessions. Starting with red light, moving to heat, then finishing with cold is one widely used structure, but the panel's role in that stack is consistent regardless of order.
Red light therapy panels ship free on most orders within the Continental U.S. — please note this excludes Alaska and Hawaii. If a panel arrives and it isn't the right fit, our 30-Day Return Policy covers you; full details on eligibility and the returns process are available in our Return Policy documentation.
About Our Red Light Therapy Panels
Red light therapy panels are devices that emit specific wavelengths of visible red and near-infrared light — most commonly in the 660nm and 850nm range — directly at the body from a fixed or wall-mounted position. They are built for people who take their recovery and wellness protocols seriously and want a repeatable, low-effort way to incorporate photobiomodulation into a daily or weekly routine. The category spans compact entry-level units suited to targeted, localised sessions all the way to high-output full-body panels designed for whole-torso coverage at clinical-grade irradiance levels. When evaluating a panel, the details that matter most are total wattage, LED chip count and type, whether the unit uses dual-chip emitters for simultaneous dual-wavelength output, irradiance at your intended working distance, and the panel's EMF profile. Build quality — housing material, fan noise, and heat management — becomes relevant when the panel is in daily use inside a dedicated recovery space. Panels in this category integrate naturally into contrast therapy environments alongside cold plunge and sauna infrastructure, making them a logical addition for anyone already invested in thermal modalities.
