 Hey guys, Alex here from AlexFrigus.com and today I am doing my full review of the LightPath LED Large Multi-Wave Pulse Body Panel. Now I've been using this panel for about a month now, I have read everything on the website about this product and even spoken to the guy who created this panel and it is quite an interesting, unique red light therapy device. So I'm excited to share my feedback, my thoughts and also I'm going to be doing all my testing with my EMF meter, my sound meter and my speak trometer. So I'm going to be testing things like flicker rate, peak power, radiance levels, we're going to do a full breakdown looking at price and value, we're going to see how it compares to other products in the LightPath LED product range and also how it compares to its competitors. We're going to take a deep deep dive alright, so stick around and let's see how this unique red light therapy panel performs. Alright so first up, what do you need to know about LightPath LED? Well it's a relatively new company in the red light therapy space and it was set up by a guy named Scott Kennedy. He is a laser light specialist with a background using laser to help with pain and recovery and he also has a wellness clinic in the state. So he has gone out and he saw what was out there in the red light therapy space and he wanted to find, well he wanted to create something that was a little bit better and had some different features that he couldn't get with panels on the market. So LightPath LED, there's a couple of products in the product range, you have the full body panel here which of course I'll be reviewing today, he also has smaller tabletop and mini panels. With this body panel here you actually have three different options, you have a base model which has both your 660 and your 850 nanometer light, you have a multi-wave panel which has 5 wavelengths which we'll get into later in this video and then you have the multi-wave pulse which is what I have and that's what we'll be covering today. Price wise, $1,174 for this top of the range multi-wave pulse panel. Discount code Alex, ALEX saves you 5%, if that doesn't work check out the description below in case that code has changed, it saves you 5% so that brings the price down to $1,155 for a body panel with a lot of bells and whistles as we're going to see soon, that's a good price. Shipping, we have free American shipping for the main states in America that you can pay a few dollars extra, I think it's about $30 or $40 and get FedEx shipping so that is a neat feature. Shipping to Australia, it's anything from $100 to $375 depending on your exact location and what speed. Shipping for the UK ranges from $25 through to $285, this is based on the calculations I put in on the website at lightpathled.com and shipping to Canada, $25 through to $100. So the ship price to America after using my discount code is $1,115 which is a good price. Do Light Path LED offer financing, no not at the moment though that may change so be sure to head over to Light Path LED to check out if there's anything new over there. Alright, next up we're looking at the design and aesthetics, Light Path LED ship their panels and branded boxes which is always a good start. When a box turns up on the door and you don't see any branding on it and it's covered in foreign letters and foreign characters and you don't even know where it's coming from and we'll just have a warehouse in China, you always think okay here we go this is probably just going to be a cheap sort of clone type product. That wasn't the case with Light Path LED, they have the branding on the exterior box you open that up and then you have another branded box inside which is always a good sign and a good start like I said. The panel itself is what I class as a body panel, it is 38 inches high, 12 inches wide and 3 inches deep, so it is your typical body panel. On the website Light Path LED claim that it will cover half of the body, a body panel is what a lot of people start out with when they get into the red light therapy space you know it's around that $1000 mark, they know they can use it for a good treatment area of the body, you can use it top half bottom half on the side turn around use it on the back as well. The panel itself is a solid metal case, there's no plastic in here, there's quite a decent weight, it's not overly heavy but it's not one of the lighter ones either, it weighs 26 pounds which is about 12 kilos, it is manageable you know most adults wouldn't have any issues lifting that up you know hanging it on a wall, some panels I've tested are very heavy and you know obviously the larger the panel is very heavy and it becomes a two man job or if it's for you know elderly person you're going to need some help, it doesn't have any hand grips or handles to be honest not many panels do have those but it is a nice feature when you do see that so you do have these rubber feet which can be used to lean against a wall and protect it a little bit of course you can lift it from there. Obviously you know the guy myself who does a lot of weight training and stuff you know it's easy to manage but for some people it is getting on the heavier side, on the back we have four fans and then you have your power points on the side and a main power switch on the back as well. You can, it does have modular capability so you can daisy chain and multiple panels and have it all the power going to one unit rather than having multiple cords go into your power points which is good. You have screws on the top here for hanging these pieces of wire with the loops on the end and you can then hang that from the wall or from the included pulley system or the door hook or you can do what I do and have a fixed hook on the back of my door and simply loop these over the hook. What is nice though is these chains at the top are a nice black color I didn't see that before typically they just exposed wire you know that is a little bit different and that is just one of many things that is quite unique about the light path panel. Of course we have a silver case, a silver metal design here. Typically we see white, a few companies now have black panels and there are a few companies that do allow you to choose between red, silver and black. Light path don't have any color options, it is just your silver, you know silver is nice, it is different to your standard white which is the most common color as I mentioned. There is nothing wrong with that color or the design itself as well, nothing wrong with it. On the side there you have some custom itching and logos on there which is always nice to see and then the LEDs itself split into three sections. What is interesting with the light path panel is the top section here actually has more near infrared LEDs, your 18 I believe it is because that is intended to treat more of the head and 18 nanometers has been shown to be most beneficial for brain health. So you know that is a cool little feature. At the very top here we see the control panel, now this is quite unique because I think all other panels I have ever reviewed have the control panel on the side or they have solid you know fixed buttons on the face but this has a full control panel with buttons and the LCD screen on there which is quite unique and interesting and we will get into this shortly but it is a little bit frustrating to use, we will get to that soon though. Alright next up I want to look at setup and then operation, so when we look at the setup to be honest getting it out of the box, plugging it in is very straightforward. You have this power cable, you simply plug that into the back it can only go in one hole so that is very easy and then plug that into your power, you will see this power coming into the unit as this main switch is now illuminated I will turn that on and then it is just simply a matter of having the power button. So like I said pretty straightforward to go from box to operating it, of course if you want to hang it then you do have this pulley system with the hooks that clip on to the top wire and then you can hang that and adjust the height and you do have this door hook which you can hang on the back of your door. So relatively straightforward however to get it going with the different features and different wavelengths and all that does get a little bit trickier in fact it was quite confusing the first time I did it but I will get to that soon. The cable itself is quite short, it came in at 57 inches long which is just under one and a half metres but remember if this is hanging from the back of the door or on a wall and the top part here is focused at your head, I'm 178cm high so the plug is going in about this point on the back that's not even going to reach the floor and chances are you don't have a power point right behind where the panel is going to be hung especially if it's gone on the back of the door which means you're going to need an extension cord. So you know it is on the shorter side it would be good to see this around the two or three metre mark I know not many companies do that but you know it's one thing I wanted to mention. Now the light part LED large panel doesn't come with any stands or anything like that it does though like I said come with the door hook, the door hook is far too small for my doors here in New Zealand. The neat thing is though it is a black design I haven't seen that before the other ones are typically just silver and it's got quite a nice feel to it so you know that is nice. With the door hook and the pulley system and these hooks on the top you know you've got multiple options like I said if you had a fixed hook or a screw on the wall you can simply hook them straight on or of course you can use the pulley system and adjust the height which is good if you want to do the top half of your body and then the bottom half. And you do also have the rubber feet as well if you do what I do and just simply lean it against the wall you know you've got a little bit of protection there. So overall from the box turning up to taking it out and getting it up and running relatively straightforward. So to summarise the ease of use from a quick start point of view it is a little bit confusing. I wouldn't necessarily be giving this to my granddad who might have a sore shoulder just because it will do his head and try to figure out how to work it. You know some panels just simply have a big power switch and away you go they don't even have a timer built in. So from that point of view it is a bit tricky for an advanced user or someone who's happy to invest the time into reading the manual and learning the system. Hey it's quite a feature filled unit I mean you can do so much you can customise the frequencies anything from 2 hertz right up to 9999 on the unit itself. Plus you've got the remote you can select between read, never read or both. You've got the timer and you do have those pre-sep pulsing functions as well. It's not like you're learning a whole new computer system. Within a few sessions you get pretty good at figuring it out. What I've found though is just use the remote it's so much easier doing things with the remote than on here. It is a little bit disappointing though you can't distinctly see the near and for read whether the near and for read is working. That is a bit of a bummer. I'm sure there have been times when I've had this running and it's only been the red light which like I said is a bit of a bummer but you know you do figure it out. Now the reason why by default the red light doesn't work only the near and for red light is because if you enable the pulsing feature and it turns on the pulsing feature is very intense. At least if you've enabled that and it's only the near and for red lights going you don't get that instant oh my god what the hell is going on and potentially trigger like a headache or a migraine or a seizure or something if you're prone to those things. So that's why it's been designed that way. So obviously if you set that up and you want to use the red light then you have to manually go in and enable the red light so I can see why they did that. It was a little bit confusing though the first time I turned it on I was thinking why is it only near and for red but yeah that's why that's been done. Secondly like to turn it on like I said you have to use the power button you can set everything up with the frequency with the time and then you just leave it and after five seconds boom everything starts working. I'm not used to that I'm used to hitting the power button and it's starting to work straight away which is why I do like this because you can kind of override those default controls and just simply press the button and it works. So overall operating this panel is a little bit confusing and tricky and to be honest it is one of the negatives of this panel. Scott is aware of this and he has said that there are some minor improvements coming out but it's to totally change the control panel on the screen and all that is a big cost and a big change from an engineering point of view. Heat what he's doing in the meantime is helping people with quick start guides and a quick five minute video that you'll be able to watch when you do get one of these panels. So at least he is aware of it and that is where those follow-up calls post-purchase calls are also helpful as well because he can be on the phone and walk you through this unit and how they get the most out of it. Alright now for the exciting part of this review we're going to look at power and performance. First up let's look at LED so as I mentioned before this large multi-wave pulse panel by Light Path LED has 255 LEDs that split into three sections. 85 in the top, 85 in the middle and 85 at the bottom. Now these are 5 watt LEDs with dual diode chips. So firstly let's look at the 5 watt LED claim. So Scott from Light Path LED has said that yes these are 5 watt LEDs but they are only drawing 2.1 watts. Now to put this in perspective he said most panels that are using 3 watt LEDs only draw 1 to 2 watts. The 5 watt title and again this is from the Light Path LED website. I also recommend checking out the interview I had with Scott Kennedy where he goes into this in a lot more detail but the 5 watt figure is what the is what the edge wall can draw upon but because of inefficiencies and heat issues and what not most LEDs are using a lot less than that 5 watt claim. This is why Scott claims that the marketing hype around 5 watt and 3 watt LEDs is a little bit flawed but still with the 5 watt LEDs they should still be putting out some decent power and we'll be testing this soon with the spectrometer. Now I mentioned that these are dual chip LEDs which means that one LED has two chips in it two diodes effectively. This is quite new for the red light therapy space I know that Juve Go uses this technology and there may be one or two other panels out there that do it. In my first impressions video I was a bit confused because I just assumed that the dual chip would mean that there'd be a red light chip and a narrow for red light and that's why I thought all of them would be glowing when you turn it on no matter whether you're in narrow It turns out this wasn't the case Scott has informed me that yes they are dual chip LEDs but he uses two of the same wavelength in each chip so for instance if this LED in the corner here is running a 660 light then there's two chips in there running both at 660 light it's not one at 660 and one at 620. So yeah a little bit confusing and in the interview I have with Scott he explains the rationale behind this so I'll put links to that below you can go check that out the 30 degree beam angle means that the light is focused on a narrower treatment area which means as you go further back you're not losing that light off to the side some other companies have 60 degree beam angles light path LED have the 30 degree as for the wavelength as this is the multi-wave panel we have five wavelengths built into this panel the base light path large panel only has 660 and 850 the multi-wave has five LEDs us sorry has five wavelengths they have 620 and 660 in the red light therapy range and then 18850 and 930 in the near infrared range the 18 has been shown to be beneficial for brain health the 930 is quite unique because I haven't seen that in other panels I don't believe any other panel goes above 900 nanometer lights Scott has actually put more power I think it's 60% of the power going through the near infrared LEDs and 40% gone to the red light LEDs and this is because he believes and he's found that the near infrared light is more therapeutic and beneficial to the body whereas the red light is more beneficial to surface treatment like wound healing so he's changed a little bit he's also said this is he's also said that the near infrared lights are actually more expensive to build to use so it has meant you know more expensive unit but he believes it's going to provide better results for that for the end user which is what we all want all right so what I'm going to do now is use my spectrometer and I'm going to test to see what wavelengths are being emitted from these LEDs all right so I've just taken a snapshot of the near infrared only the panel going with near infrared lights only now don't get too caught up in all these numbers because this wasn't a super accurate test it was just to get a rough snapshot of what light is being emitted here so you can see that first peak at 809 which is pretty much bang on your pretty much bang on your 810 the second one which was the claim reading the second one is being there around 852 853 and then the third one over here at 840 so these first two match up with what was claimed 18 and 850 this one here there's actually more energy coming out at 940 whereas the marketed claim was 930 so there is a bit of a difference there obviously it's not into the world because you're still getting a ton of power in the 930 range and that is one interesting thing with this because these aren't lasers it's not like it's a straight line up at 930 and then nothing at 931 as you can see in this chart this is showing energy levels at different wavelengths you're still getting tons of energy right through from tons of irradiant sorry right through from 790 through to your 830 through to 860 and then you get a bit of a drop here and then it starts picking up again around 920 through to 950 so that's quite interesting alright now we'll do the same for the red light now we'll turn that off okay so on this screen you're seeing the peak at 634 is the absolute peak remember the claims are 620 and 660 so that's a little bit off 620 is coming back to down there which is which is half the power from 630 so that's a bit interesting let's see what this other peak is 658 658 and a half so that does match up with your 660 but yeah claims of 620 and 660 that one there does a little bit off it's going to take a few more readings no and as you can see there's there's a distinct pink at 660 which is good yeah so when you come over to the 620 which is what light pathality claim I mean it's quite a low reading there the real peak is up around 630 to 640 640 is really where it's at so I'm not too sure what is going on there but interestingly the less you are getting a ton of irradiance from 620 through to 670 though with these panels alright now for the really fun part we're going to test the irradiance which is the power output from these LEDs we're going to test it in the middle of the panel and we're looking for peak power in both the red light sorry the red range so you're 600 660 nanometer and then we're going to do the same for the near infrared so you're 800 we're going to look for the peak the highest level of the highest level that my monitor picks up at six inches or there about 15 centimeters I got a 15 centimeter rule here and we're looking for the milliwatt per centimeter square reading alright so that is across all the wavelengths so I'm going to just set it up for red and just test them likewise for near infrared so it doesn't necessarily mean well because we saw in those just because we saw in the graphs with the wavelengths it's not a straight up and down line so we're actually looking at the light across all those wavelengths you know 626 21 622 all the way up okay I can narrow in on one exact wavelength but I it's typically not how I've recorded them and how most people record them they're looking at the all the light across the spectrum if a lot of people really want to see exact readings for exact wavelengths let me know because I think I can do this with this tool and it's just something I've never really dialed into before but so we're going to look at the total reading for red light and then total reading from the infrared light once we've done that I'm going to calculate an estimated total power output for the full panel and that will be taking nine readings across all wavelengths and trying to find a total estimated output power so what I'm going to do I'm going to do the red light first unfortunately the laptop software that I have doesn't show the total power their radiance I've got to put it through excel to but it does show it on here okay so what I'm going to do is I'm going to look for the peak power have the lights running and read out the peak power and I'll show you afterwards and then we'll do the same for near infrared okay so let's do red light first okay so we've got all this ready to go for red light I've got the ruler on for six inches I'm going to turn it on and I'm going to measure around this middle point just remember not all of these lights are red LED some of them are near infrared so you will see like peaks and troughs in terms of radiance like if I hover over the cluster of near of red lights the red light is going to be so much the red light reading is going to be so much lower so I am going to move around as I move around I'll read out the numbers all right and then we'll take the peak all right let's go so I'm going to turn this on turn it on to red light only okay where we go okay so I'll read out some numbers to you so we'll move from one corner to the 26 remember these are milliwatts over centimeter square 39 36 32 30 38 39 39 we're in the 30s I'll see if anything jumps up drops down as I go down over the the infrared 41 there still in the 30s back in the 20s 41 again 42 46 let's call it 46 all right we'll turn this off so you're looking at EE there we go 45.996 and the peak nanometer light there is 660.9 so yeah that's quite a good reading it's 46 milliwatts over centimeter squared remember that's across that whole range so let's plug it into here all right so that's the red light which is um that's a decent reading now what we're going to do is test it for near and free so remember I'll read out the readings the peak readings okay so we're off 46 49 getting up there 49 all right let's see if I can get that on 50 we actually got a 50 so you're looking up there that's a radiance 50 milliwatts over centimeter squared peak at the 853.7 and you're seeing the three peaks there obviously uh that particular reading was quite low in the 900s and this is where it gets interesting right because this figure when in my previous 2019 comparison I just it was just 850 and 660 so you just have one reading now we've got multiple wavelengths so it complicates things you know if I found another spot where the 950 the 900 range was quite high these might have been lower and obviously the lower one would be a bit the total radiance would be a bit lower but um hey it's the best I can do given all the variables at play here so anyway 50 milliwatts which is which is real high that's for six inches all right so those are some pretty high power readings what I'll be doing in future videos I'm going to be doing this test uh for all the panels that I can get my hands on and plus I'm going to do a big comparison series where I'll directly compare all these one after another so be sure to subscribe for them and you'll be able to see how they will do compare what I'm also going to do is publish all the key figures from these reviews and comparisons over at alexfigures.com so be sure to join on uh jump on my newsletter over there and I'm going to update that every time I get more data points all right so you'll be able to go in there and just quickly search hey what's what's what panel has the best um the radiance for red light what panel has the best um never read like radiance what panel is has the most leds for instance so be sure to head over to alexfigures.com get on my newsletter also stay tuned here on youtube as well because I'll be putting up more videos in the coming weeks and months next up I want to look at estimated total power output and I say estimated because I have to do some calculations here what I'm going to do is take nine points nine readings for total radiance all right um I'm going to take six readings around the perimeter just coming in one led uh so one two three four five six two at the bottom and then I'm going to take three through the middle here all right what I'm going to do is then average out those readings and multiply it by the area of the leds and we're going to get an estimated total power output okay let's do this now and remember this is for both nairfrida and red light all right I've taken those nine readings and it averaged out to be 58.7 milliwatts of centimeter square so now I'm going to measure the total area 25 now I should mention this is far from a perfect science there's so many variability uh so many variables at play here um and I know from a direct comparison point of view it's it's probably not going to be great either because of the layout of leds and everything but hey um you know it's going to give you a rough idea of something's good power or high power or good value for money um but it's not perfect all right this item blog we will have more data points coming in in time so we'll be able to compare that but uh those figures are looking good they are up there in terms of um high irradiance which is what I was expecting since the r5 got leds in here all right next up I actually want to look at power power draw here so I've got a power meter I'm going to plug this in and I'm going to see what the light path led large panel is drawing so let me plug this in all right so the unit's on that top number is watts so the unit is on but none of the lights are going so it's already drawing 19 watts I'm going to turn it on now and this is near infrared only going so we're at 400 watts just over 400 watts there for um for the near infrared lights now I'm going to hit red light and turn the both on so we've got red and the infrared and we're at 766 watts and then when I just do red we're at 386 all right so I included that what is draw for it figure just uh because I know some people are interested in this and curious to know what's going on uh obviously that number don't read it too much into that because as you saw without any lights going there was already a wattage draw uh some of that some of that energy is going to control to power the control panel of course you've got the fans that are running you have lost energy as heat and all of those sort of things I only wanted to include this because some people do want that information and I figured hey I've got the gear here I can test it anyway to round out the power and performance category the last thing I want to talk about is um pulsing now this is where the light path LED multi-wave pulse panel is very very very very interesting so if you've seen my first impressions video or if you've watched the video my interview with Scott Kennedy from light path then you probably know what I'm gonna say here this panel has inbuilt pulsing what that means is the light flickers at a predefined rate now you can customize this flicking this this pulsing from zero hertz which is no flicking right through to nine thousand nine hundred nine nine effectively ten thousand times a second ten thousand um pulses a second which you wouldn't pick up with your naked eye Scott what he has done is he's programmed in some preset uh pulsing rates and now these are based on the nosier nosier frequencies which again I'm not going to get into here because I want to keep this more about the product and not all the other science out out there about red light therapy and pulsing so I highly recommend heading over to lightpathled.com to check out um the articles on the nosier frequencies or watch my uh interview with Scott and I'll put a link to that below a French scientist found that different rates of pulsed light had uh different healing modalities on the human body and uh not just human body in fact uh this is also being widely used in um animal veterinary health and all and other areas of health so the research on this is lacking and it's it's still you know a lot of people may see this as fringe and woo-woo but hey I used to think the same about red light therapy and uh now you know I'm using it multiple times a week and it's it's totally a game changer so this is an area that it could be seen as a massive positive massive plus for this light path panel or it could also be seen as a bit of a gimmick and you're paying for something that may not do anything at all the great thing is as a biohacker as someone who is came to improve my health and happy to experiment I like the idea that this feature is here and I can try it and I can use it on my body and and to help heal injuries and recover from gym sessions and see what happens and if it doesn't if it doesn't help then hey I know for me it didn't work the other cool thing is if you head over to light path LED and you want to buy one of these panels you don't have to get that feature you can save a couple hundred dollars drop down and get the multi wave five wavelength panel in this size without the pulsing feature and you save a couple hundred dollars so I know this is probably leaving you thinking well does it work is it worth it now this is where it gets tricky I don't know I've been using it for a couple weeks now I've played around with different settings I've played around with some of the no-gear frequencies I've put in some of my own custom pulsing rates and it's not like I walk away from the session thinking oh my god I am a totally different person however I haven't had any real injuries or health issues or even really big gym sessions over the last few weeks so it's hard to really quantify that I also wasn't wearing any wearables as I was going through a long story anyway I have no data to sort of quantify it which is a bit of a bummer I do think it is interesting though and I do like the idea of I do like how it has been built into this panel because again it is something new and this is what's cool about the light part panels there's new novel ideas there's new features it's not just another clone there's there's fresh ideas here there's neat technologies um but best of all it empowers the user the person who owns it to experiment to play around with it and like Scott says if data comes out showing that 300 hertz for five minutes applied on the you know on the on the skin rapidly heals I don't know some burn or something like that then hey you can go in you can sit that use it and away you go which is really really cool um however the I say all this and I say that the science is lacking but there are massive amounts of case studies and anecdotal evidence where people have used pulsing to their advantage and likewise with vets using it for animal health and you know stuff that comes out of the veterinary science is quite interesting because an animal can't really doesn't really fall for the placebo effect it doesn't know if it's getting pulsed light or not the vet just sees if if something is working or it doesn't work so those data points are quite interesting now accessing these features is a little bit tricky and this goes back to the ease of use uh now again this goes back to the complications I had using this control panel but let me show you exactly how it works I'm going to do it on my remote here because it's just easier when we turn the unit on as we see on this side it says off next to that screen is a button saying frequency and mode what I can do is I can hit the mode button I'm going to do it on the remote because it's easier and you'll see it comes up 2.5 and it flashes if I hit that again oh I'm still trying I'm still having issues with this if I hit that button again it will go to 000 all right that mode allows me to customize what frequency I want so I can set it to anything I want um if I leave it in this first setting I can press this Hertz button and it will scroll through the no-gf frequencies that uh preset into this panel so everything from 2.5 Hertz 10 40 73 right up to I think it's 4698 now if I want to run one of these let's run 73 I just leave it for a few seconds I think it's five seconds and it will kick in now only near infrared light is running you cannot see you probably can't see the flicker I can hear it at the moment if I press red light the red light is going to flicker at 73 times a second I don't know if they'll be visible to our eyes but let's have a look I should note that if you're prone to seizures or you know uh flicking lights can trigger a health issue um skip ahead 30 seconds or so all right okay so there we go that is pulsing at 73 times a second I can briefly make it out apparently above 80 you don't really notice it optically let me show you how it works at the lowest setting so this is 2.5 Hertz we're going to leave it just on the infrared so we wouldn't be able to see it too much all right but you can see those lights pulsing right and you can actually hear the drivers running there now I'm going to turn this on to red again if if you're prone to seizures or anything like that just fast forward from this point um because this is pretty intense and in fact the manual actually says to use it in the infrared or if you're going to put in red light put your goggles on because this is pretty crazy all right I've warned you all right it's that's nuts whoo I think you do sort of adjust to it but it's um it is pretty full on now like I said you have the preset no gf no gf no ga frequencies in there um but you also have the custom one and again you can use it on red or near infrared or both now I spoke to Scott about this in our recent interview and he actually said um using the near infrared is probably all you need uh because that light is penetrating deeper into the body so that is cool you don't you can use it without having the flashing lights and you know the strobe like light effect but also if you go right up to one of the high frequencies you know like 500 or even higher than that you're not going to notice that flickering anyway so that's a 500 there so you can't even pick up on it again I don't know too much about it I am still getting my head around all this the manual does do a good job of explaining what frequency does what uh you know you'd use frequency f which is 73 hertz for balancing of hormones muscle spasms headaches depression those sort of things you'd use frequency a which is 294 for um skin health and teeth and stuff like that so it's it's really something that you need to experiment with and you need to research and um you need to decide whether you want that feature or not because again you can get the same panel with the moldy wave and you don't have to have that that pulsing feature you can save a few hundred dollars cool thing is though if you do decide to get this panel with the pulsing features you will get that post um purchase call with Scott and you'll be able to talk to him about you know your health needs what you're doing maybe you're an athlete and you're trying to recover faster or you've got an old injury he will then tell you what he recommends to use you know what pulsing frequency duration time and all of that if you have watched my interview with Scott you would have heard him say what sort of frequency or pulsing rates he does recommend just a general overview and um if you don't want to go back and watch that interview I did drop them down and he said 40 hertz is is well known healing frequency for brain health and not only if you have brain issues but preventive preventive and 147 hertz is generally used for inflammation he also said just like anything in life start small start low slow so don't do 20 minutes at one of those frequencies you know do one or two minutes have a few days off do it again and work your way up so that's something that i'm going to try i'd love to say oh my god this frequency just totally changed my life i don't really have enough i don't really have enough data points or enough time using them i've just been more playing around with the panel and getting used to it and doing the odd session here there i will keep using this on a longer term and hopefully over you know in the coming months i will be able to do an update and say hey look this is amazing or maybe i didn't notice anything at all but potentially it could be a massive game changer not only for red light therapy but for biohackers and for health and wellness and um also most importantly for for your health which is hey whoa here why we're watching this and doing all this right we want to improve our health so yeah very neat feature and another reason why you know this uh light path panel is is quite intriguing all right next up i want to look at uh safety and um usability of this panel so here i'm going to look at the sound output i'm going to look at the flicker rate and anything else i should mention so first things i can say is it's not FDA approved some panels coming to the market are this one isn't all right we have a background sound rate of 36 and a half decibels we're going to turn it on and it's up to 52 and a half all right now we're going to look at flicker all right now we're going to look at emf levels we look at magnetic electric and uh microwave i don't expect there to be any microwave um readings with this because there's no bluetooth or wi-fi uh so we'll check that first real quick then we're going to do magnetic and electric at both three inches and six inches and i'll be using my cornet elitro mod elitro smog meter um i'll put a link to this in the show next below all right the first thing i looked at was the um microwave now um this is your wi-fi and cell phone now the only time there was a bit of a spike was when i used this because this is seeing a brief signal to this unit it was very minuscule there was a little bit of movement on here we're turning it on but it was yeah i mean it was nothing i don't know i think it was just the electronics and obviously there's a bit of a receiver in this panel but nothing to be worried about let's look at the uh magnetic field now so i'm going to set this up for six inches six inches from the middle which is about there and i'll position it that way because the sensors on this side for this particular reading so that unit is currently off it's off at the wall i'm going to turn it on now and we do see a bit of a spike there we see a bit of movement but it's gone back to green we want it in the green that's your safe standard by the um building biology standards so yeah that's cool that's off now what we're going to do is turn it on that's red light and there for it and there is a little bit of movement there it might be hard to see but we're at point two micro teslas i believe it is which is on the bottom bottom level of um orange which is your cautious sort of zone which is not too bad as we get closer to the panel it does get up to about point seven it's still relatively low some panels are lower but some panels are much higher so not hugely concerning um but i guess you could say it could be better now we're going to look at electric fields that is currently on electric field and it's a background level of ten volts per meter i think it is um which is rock bottom now i'm going to turn that on and fire it up and a very small movement and then a drop back down 11 so there are no issues there which is good so overall i'm going to see this panel is safe there is nothing alarming about the emf levels there small amount of your magnetic field especially as you get a little bit closer but still it was quite low on the cautious zone in here um it's nothing dangerous all right now that we've got a bunch of metrics out there around power and price what i want to do is a quick value section here i want to look at two things the price per led and also price per watts in regards to how many watts this is putting out so the price per led is simple i just took the discounted price which is $1,115 and divided that by the amount of leds that this panel has and that worked out to be a price of $4.37 per led again we're going to be comparing these over on the website and and future reviews so stay tuned for them because right now you're probably thinking so what but yeah all of this data will be useful in time secondly i also calculated the dollar per watt output so i remember we took the overall it's an estimated figure the estimated overall wattage output by doing nine measurements averaging them and then taking this surface area size um so there was 120.3 watts now i did the math just now that works out to be nine dollars and 26 cents per watt so that's what you're paying per watt of output so this is going to be an interesting data point obviously we will expect the bigger units to um have a better value per wattage score but hey it's another metric you can use when shopping for red light therapy panels now before i wrap up i hope this review has been useful and i hope it's helped educate you in terms of whether you should spend your money on light path led i wanted to compare it with the other light path panels but also some of its competitors so in regards to the other panels from light path led like i said you can get a standard you can get this size in standard 660 and 850 nanometer light that particular panel is 400 dollars cheaper so it's about 720 dollars so it's a big saving or you can get the multi-wave the five-wave uh the five wavelength panel without the pulsing for um 824 dollars so that's about 300 dollars less than this which is actually really good value for what you're getting a high-powered low emf good size red light therapy body panel it's up to you though whether you want to spend that extra 300 dollars and have a go at pulsing remember though light path led do have that trade-up policy so you could start with the base unit or even a smaller unit and if you wanted to later on you know send it back and get one of those bigger units if you do want the pulsing feature but you are on a strict budget then you could get the tabletop vision which is only um a third of the size of this i think it comes with about 94 leds remember this one's 255 you can get that a multi-wave with pulsing but that is 774 dollars for an extra 400 dollars you can get the full one so i mean yeah you could say if you're on a tight budget and you want the pulsing go with the smaller one but i'd argue you're better off saving a few more dollars and uh giving the full-size one in regards to other panels out there from different companies three companies came to mind here we have the mito mod of pro uh which is a very similar in terms of power specs with their five watt leds they've also got multiple wavelengths um but they have more leds and they come in at a lower price point but they don't have the pulsing though secondly you have the platinum led biomex panels now these one my 2019 body comparison panel remember is that bringing out a new panel anytime soon now based on their older generation or their current generation panels they also do multi-wave length and they also have high power and similar specs from a you know pure power output point of view they also have great emf and flicker and all those sort of things as well they don't have the pulsing though but again the price is if you're seriously considering this it is worth looking at alternatives i guess it keeps coming back to the pulsing feature though that is the standout feature of this panel now speaking of pulsing though there is one other company out there who does offer a pulsing panel and that is juve with their juve solo it's the new third generation panel range and that actually does include a pulsing feature however it's not as advanced or as comprehensive as the light path pulsing feature the juve pulsing feature is limited to one frequency and that is 10 hertz and it only works for the near and for red light i wonder if they've restricted this just because of the intensity of the flickering red light but anyway they use that as their recovery plus mode so it's designed for sports performance recovery i have got that panel and i have used a little bit and again i i haven't really quantified it enough to say whether it works or not but the thing is you can and i know sorry i know juve do have some studies on the website that they believe shows that it does work but the cool thing is you can use 10 hertz on here as well with both red light or narrow for red or of course you can use any other frequency from zero to ten thousand the problem with juve versus the light path panel is the juve panel is very very expensive plus you're getting less leds i think it is 150 leds and you're spending more money than this so here's a trade-off juve do have some pretty neat features though and i will be reviewing all of those panels i just mentioned in the coming weeks and months and plus i'll be comparing them all directly in one big video so be sure to subscribe for that so that's a wrap i think i've covered everything i can think of in regards to this light path led panel i guess now you want to hear my concluding thoughts well well i do like how it's new it's something different it's it's not a carbon copy of a lot of the other panels out there there's a new unique design unique control panel not saying it works great but it is unique the pulsing feature is very very cool though again does it work is it worth the money i'm not too sure uh it is good power there is good emf readings um and all of that as well plus the after sale support you get with scott and the trade-off policy do make light path led quite an interesting um interesting company and uh i think a lot of people will be spending their money with this company because of those things i just mentioned when you break it down from a pure value point of view it is also really good value if you are super tight on money and looking more for a budget version you can skip the pulsing feature and get one of the base models in this large panel and again that brings the price down the average price down so much more so value wise even for the top pulsing panel which i have here i think it's still really good because like i said you're getting all those extra features such as the 20 minute follow-up call the trade-off policy three year warranty uh plus you've got that pulsing feature built in if it turns out that hey this frequency works amazing for a certain health condition and you have that health condition i mean that's going to be money well spent but there are downsides as well as you've noticed it is quite confusing to use even after months of using this on a regular basis i still struggle to get things set up it's not a deal breaker i mean eventually you get what you want but it might cause a bit of frustration and when you compare this to some other panels that are quite simple to use and you can flick a switch in a way you go and you know you get exactly what you want you know some people might be put off for this i suppose it really depends what you are what you're wanting as a person are you more of an advanced buyer or are you more of a biohacker who wants to experiment and have all these cool technologies that can potentially help your help with your health and well-being then yeah this you're going to put up with that those frustrations and go with something like this or you bind a panel for you know your mother or your grandmother who's got like arthritis or something and you just want to expose them to red light therapy and you want to make it super simple in that case you know you you you may look elsewhere and you may not be too worried about multi-wave technologies and and and the pulsing and the very confusing control panel but overall though i think it is a really good panel and i'm really excited to see some of these numbers which we have calculated today is going to stand up with these other panels that i'm going to be testing and comparing it to in the coming weeks and months i think i wouldn't be surprised if it does really really well i mean it's got a good price you got no emf issues um you've got high power output you've got multiple wavelengths which i think is a big plus you got awesome support awesome warranty um and did i mention value as well i think it is good value it's a good price and so overall i mean yeah it's a good panel whether it's worth spending the extra money for the pulsing that is the big question i think something that i don't have the answer to yet and it really comes down to you and your research and your knowledge and your finances i guess but hopefully in the coming months i'll be able to continue using this and uh hopefully i'll be able to update you with with more feedback and thoughts on the pulsing feature i sure as also mentioned you should check out my other footage including the interview i had with scott where he talks about some of these pulsing technologies and i am planning a follow-up interview with him later this year and if you have any questions for him leave them below or leave them on the other video and i'll be sure to ask him if you do decide to get one of these panels be sure to use discount code alex alex it will save you five percent i believe if that code doesn't work check the description below because it may have changed um i do get a small kick back from that but that helps me do these videos and get the gear that you've seen me playing with today and of course bring you all this information but most importantly be sure to subscribe and head over to alexfigus.com and jump on the newsletter there because i will be comparing this panel with all my other panels that i have here and uh that's going to be something really awesome to to watch and that should bring even more information and help help you make more of an informed decision when it comes to buying a red light therapy device if you have any questions leave them below if you enjoyed this video give me a thumbs up and also this is the first time i've done a real deep dive review like this on any red light therapy panel if you enjoyed it and you want to see me do this on other panels let me know it has taken me a whole day to film this and that's before we edit it and and all the notes so it has been a lot of work but if you want me to do this on say the juve solo the new biomex panels when they come out you know just let me know and um i'll do my best to uh give them out to you
