I was gifted this LED lamp and it does not specify the wavelength. Any ideas? I'm not sure if I feel much from it or not.

Is this LED Light Therapy Lamp Good?
- Thread starter freyasam
- Start date
I guess the fact that it simulates daylight (if you think it does, I've never used one) must be pleasant, but I'm pretty sure I remember Ray saying on one of Danny Roddy's Generative Energy podcasts that the technology of LED is still questionable as far as safety and then went on to explain some technical stuff alluding it might be carcinogenic. Don't mean to scare you coz we all are constantly exposed to LED nowadays (and our phones give off blue light which is also not so great) like it or not. Since it's a gift, and any gift is thoughtful, I'd put it on a side table in a dark corner or a dark room to light it up, but not use it close up.
Hope that helps.

It looks like a well constructed and thoughtfully designed light source. The 'sales pitch' did not make sense at first reading.
If it is ultra-violet (UV) wavelength free, it can not be full spectrum (have all of the wavelengths of natural light). I think the tern 'full spectrum' and 'full brightness' are being confused. It appears to me that 'full brightness' means that it has a variable dimmer that increases the light intensity from 0 to 100%.
It is also a 'therapy light". It does not state what type of therapy. Very limited early morning exposure to blue light has been show to be therapeutic for SAD (seasonal affected disorder) and PTSD. Too much blue light can create health issues.
Morning blue light treatment improves sleep complaints, symptom severity, and retention of fear extinction memory in PTSD
Ray Peat has cautioned us about the harmful effects of blue light and wavelengths of radiation that are shorter than the blue wavelengths. However as is often the case, the dose is the poison. The study below suggests that an intentional addition of a small dose of blue light in the morning...
Blue Light Exposure Just Twice A Day Causes Insulin Resistance In Humans
No need to elaborate, given how much Ray has written about red and blue light and their effects on metabolism. The key result from the study was that just 3 hours of exposure was enough to trigger that metabolic dysfunction. Imagine what happens at night when there is ambient blue light...
I agree with @Sherbert. It is a gift and should be appreciated as such. I would not gift this item to a friend.

Thank you both very much for this helpful info. I couldn't tell whether it had blue light or not, and I was concerned about LED issues.
Since my health is very poor lately, I'd rather not risk making anything worse with blue / LED and will stick with my brooder bulb for light therapy (though it was indeed a nice gift).
I'm going to read the info you posted, David, soon... that looks very interesting!

If anyone can recommend a therapeutic red light less than ~$250 to me, I would really appreciate it. Unfortunately I'm not able to be online to research much because of my health and vision issues.
(The brooder bulbs are good, but they put out so much heat, and I live in a hot climate!)

I have a redlightman device which seems quite good. It's certainly bright enough. It's the square one with a central diffuser.
I should've said I'm looking for non-LED red lights. Thanks for any suggestions!
I got this (about $40) to fill in until i got around to making myself a fancy setup:
It’s turned out to be more useful/valued than I imagined. I thought being such low wattage it might turn out to be a waste of money but it packs quite a punch. ‘Seems what it lacks in watts it makes up with its being designed to be used in proximity.
I just place it next to me pointing it towards my solar plexus when lying down reading a magazine or something. It so warm I’ve got to keep it a few inches away. Sounds crazy but from the first time i used it i felt it had a beneficial effect.
I guess to the skeptical i’d say at the very least it’s like a mini heating pad or hot water bottle without the trouble of having to prepare one. and with the bonus that it emits infrared light. ‘Thinking off getting a spare (though it’s pretty hardy/sturdy - ‘have dropped it quite a few times) since it seems each time you look there're fewer and fewer incandescent versions of everything and anything out there.
