 Hey it's Alex here from AlexFergus.com. Today I'm gonna talk to you about red light devices and in particular what you should look for and what you should look out for when it comes to buying red light devices. So first things first actually first things first if you don't know what red light is head to AlexFergus.com and check out my article on red light therapy it's called everything or the fascinating benefits of red light therapy or something like that AlexFergus.com I'll put a link to it below in the notes so you can check that out. Read that first because it's gonna blow your mind once you learn about red light therapy you're gonna look this is the coolest thing ever why have I not heard about it that was me like a year ago okay now I love this stuff but I've also learned a lot about the market the brands the products okay and speaking of products behind me you can see a red light device yes I just worked this panel with my finger tip and it kind of hurt. It's a juke panel device for disclosure I have an affiliate link with them coupon code as well the coupon codes AlexALEX that will give you a discount if you buy a juke panel and it will also give me a cutback you don't have to use that panel but for disclosure right um so I've been using that for a while I've done a review on it I've noticed massive benefits from using it skin pain all that sort of stuff again there's a full video and article on this so I won't go into it into detail and I don't want it to be about the juke. I've also got another panel here sorry it's not a panel now another red light device here which I'm gonna turn on right now and then we've got the juice panel here alright so since buying since receiving this panel I've learned a lot about red light okay and as a result of those articles I just mentioned a lot of people have asked me hey what about this and can I buy grow lights what about these other brands which one's best why some of them so expensive when I can find this on eBay what's the deal right and to be honest I didn't know at first I was like I don't know they can't be right they're cheap you know I can't they can't be beneficial anyway so since then I've done a lot of research a lot of reading and I've looked into this into this and here's my takeaway here the facts you need to know one we know red light therapy works there are hundreds if not thousands of studies on low light low light low level laser therapy I think it's called LLT photo biomodulation red light therapy light therapy there are hundreds of articles published articles papers showing that it works everything from arthritis to acne you know it's it's beneficial okay so that's not right but what's important is the wavelength which is the color color and the visible wavelength spectrum but once you get into the non-visible range such as near infrared far for it you can't see that but it's every piece of every lightweight has its own unique profile like wavelength profile right so what you need to know is well wavelength because different wavelengths have different impacts on the body so for instance blue light which is around that 4500 nanometer wavelength that has a stimulating effect on the body again I've already written about this in my blog on blue light how it suppresses melatonin increases cortisol it's beneficial in the morning that's why devices like this human charger device here you know you can use them in the morning and it has an impact on the body right red light on the other hand is therapeutic it's healing maybe relaxing I'm not too sure but the key thing is it heals the body all right and there's tons of research on that so we know that it works but what we need to know it what you need to know when you're looking for a device or looking for a panel is what is the wavelength like what is the light being admitted because there's all sorts of different wavelengths when it comes to red light just Google like a visible light spectrum and you'll see the colors of the rainbow and you'll see how red goes from you know maybe 600 to 750 nanometer light I'm not 100% sure but you know you'll see this range right and then when you look at all the studies you'll you'll see that only some of those ranges have been studied and only some of them have been effective in regards to healing the body okay sorry I'm just trying to pull up an article I had here so I've got the stats next to me you know so you need to know the wavelength of the light that the panel is admitting and then you need to know the power density or the power intensity all right so let's say we know that red light at 660 nanometers is good for I don't know college in production or when healing which which it is okay so we know that 660s all right so we go out to the manufacturer and we ask them does your light admit mid 600 wavelength yes it does 655 great awesome it's in that range that's a big take but that Christmas tree decoration you have or that little like nightlight you have glowing and your toilet I don't know maybe that little torch you have lying around as well they might put out exactly the same wavelength they might be 650 660 great right but there's another thing you need to look out and that's look out for and that's power intensity all right so just because the light is in that right range we need to know how much that power is actually being emitted all right and how intense it is so just like the Sun you know you can feel that intensity the Sun's a intense light source and a heat source okay but that little LED you know literally little LED red light is not an intense heat source okay so there's two things you look out for wavelength and power intensity now with the juve which I have here this is the juve combo right so I've got the fact sheet here they came with it I started got started guide sorry and this isn't meant to be a plug for juve it's just that I have a juve and I like it and if I had some other panel I've got the handheld one I'd be using that as an example so anyway this one here does 850 once it focuses in here we can see it does 850 and 650 nanometers now when I turn it on it might be hard to see but you can kind of see a bit of a pattern there right so the lights that aren't glowing at least on the screen that you're near infrared 850 nanometer lights but I said are glowing are the 661 they're in the visible range now on this piece of paper it's also got your down here irradiance numbers all right so it's got a milliwatt per centimeter squared number now this is important this is showing how much of that energy is being released how much of that energy is being transmitted and then do go even further I don't know if it was in here it's on their website I think and it tells you the ratings at each distance so right on the surface you're gonna get maximum power put right as you come like two three four six inches back it drops off I think it's exponentially drops off so if you're standing right back here you know like a meter away from the panel you're not getting much light you're not getting much energy on the body whereas if you're standing right here you're getting a lot okay so that's another thing you need to look up for the power intensity of the light source and then you need to find out is that power intensity at the device or six feet back six inches back or a meter back all right because that's important because some some devices may have a really good number but then they say that's at the source which means you've got to be hugging it the whole time which you know you might not want to do and then there's issues with the emf and all of that so to summarize you need to look out for wavelength and power intensity all right now the other device I have here this is retails for around a hundred dollars it is also 660 and 850 nanometers and again I can get all the stats on this and I know the power density I don't know if I'm trying to say intensity or density either one works but anyway um so I know the stats on it I know the wavelengths in fact I had this manufactured myself and it's got right here on the sticker 850 nanometers and 660 nanometers and it's two thirds and 660 and one third and 850 right so I know that I know that for a fact and then the lab the manufacturer that made this did some testing and sent me the report card on the power density right so I know that stuff which is great so that's what you need to look for when it comes to devices now there are also devices out there or red light devices out there that um don't publish their wavelength numbers that's cool uh personally I wouldn't buy that because you don't know what you're buying uh so for instance in my article the fascinating healing properties of red light at alexfigus.com I talk about how some wavelengths in the red light spectrum namely like around the 700 750 nanometer wavelengths there isn't much research showing that they're beneficial in fact like they may do more harm than good I'm not too sure but there's not there's not much data on it showing that they work right but it's a red light so it'll look just like let me turn this on it'll look just like that you won't know right so you could spend all this money on a device you know a thousand bucks or something on a device that's emitting red light in the 750 nanometer light range but it's not doing what it could be doing if it was 650 nanometers right so this is why it's so important to figure out or find out and ask the manufacturer what the wavelengths are and the and the panel and the LED is what the exact wavelengths are and doesn't have to be exact it could be a range like 650 to 660 that's okay but if they say oh it's in the red light you know somewhere between 600 and 800 I mean personally I wouldn't buy that because you don't know what you're buying and it's just like a supplement right like it's when a supplement comes out and says our proprietary proprietary blend of B vitamins and you're like okay great but then another company will do it's a might release a B complex where it's like you know you get x milligrams of B12 x milligrams of B3 x milligrams of B2 you know what I mean and you can then use that based on your needs if you know that you have some genetic disorder where you know folate acid is is really bad for you you know you want to avoid that but if it's a proprietary blend and they just say oh it's all of this stuff and in total you get one gram out of it you don't know whether 99% of that is like something harmful or something good like you don't know that right and and again some people will find with that just personally I wouldn't do that myself because you don't know what you're buying all right so that's wavelength and then the second thing is the the irradiance the power density all right if the manufacturer is not saying that it's either because they haven't tested it and if they haven't tested it then the chances are they don't really care about their product right because if you were a bit making these you would want to test that so you'd want to show off to the customer hey look this is how much light you know we're putting out right so you want to check that if they don't have that number there they haven't tested it or they have tested it and they're embarrassed by the results and they don't want to share it or they come up with some crazy marketing idea where they figured that hold all that data for themselves and not share um and again like for me those are warning signs right like it's always like going to buy a car and they say you know we're not going to tell you the engine size and we're not going to tell you the mileage but we can tell you it's good and you're kind of like well you know I'd really like to I believe you and my friends over there said it's a good car but I would like to know the engine size and it would be nice to know the mileage because maybe you tested it was really bad and that's not why you're telling me do you know what I mean it's just for me it's just not something that sits well so when you're looking at red light therapy we know for a fact that red light works we know the the wavelengths that work and have been official to the health and we know how much energy you should be getting you know we we know the power density numbers all right and how much exposure the body should be getting and those three things are all covered on my article elixperius.com which I'll link below I'm not going to explain today because I've already explained it but again we know the wavelengths we know the power density uh and kind of remember what I'm saying now but anyway so once you know those things buy something that matches up with those right now if you can find a grow light if you can find some I call them knockoffs though they might be coming from the same manufacturer if you can find a light on ebay or alibaba or aliexpress or amazon that has verified power density numbers that has the right wavelengths that you're after buy it I mean why not right why pay five times ten times more for a label um do you know what I mean like go back to that car analogy let's say you wanted to buy I don't know like a Porsche or something and then right next to it was a car that looked like a Porsche had all the same specs you get the reports on fuel performance power you know north to 100 speed everything comes back exactly the same as the Porsche but it doesn't have the Porsche logo and it's like one tenth of the price you might be tempted to get that maybe that's a bad example because a lot of people pay a lot of money just for their branch badge so maybe that is a bad example but hopefully you get what I'm saying right if you're just looking at the health benefits wavelength power density that's what you're after so uh to answer the question can you buy these grow lights can you buy these alibaba aliexpress ebay lights um sure just make sure you do the research and make sure you know it's a quality device if they're not admit if they're not sharing any numbers then I probably wouldn't the good thing with brands like juve they happily share all their numbers you know it's right here on the document you can go on their website and get all information you can see all those numbers right it's right there other brands who are charging you know just as much maybe a little bit less uh they might hide all these numbers from you in which case that sends alarm bells ring and then if you get something like this which I just got a box of 10 off from aliexpress or alibaba I got a 10 I got them made specifically for me uh I chose the lights I got 660 and and uh 850 2 3rds going to 660 um if you can buy them at cheap price and you know that the good wavelengths and the good out power outputs then again do that I mean just go on with your buddies like why not um but if you like the convenience and everything I am going to do a little plug here if you like the convenience and you want a full-size panel and you just want the simple option of buying it online go with something like the juve um use code alexaliex you'll save some money I'll get a little bit of money um otherwise do some research and you can probably save even more money by finding going straight to the manufacturer and cut out the middle man because that's what I've done with with this beast oh it's not really a beast it's actually quite small it's actually really good so by the way while I'm here what I'm going to do now I'm going to do my morning session with the panel but I get too sensitivity right and I've noticed that this is really helping with my my teeth and also I want it I want to see if I can get some hairy growth so what I used to do is like front on side on back on and then I'll do my cheeks now I can just go front on and hold this or front on and do my head or back on and do my nostril and my chest and belly button if I want to do those things so anyway guys that's enough for me hopefully that answers your question of like what red light panel you should buy or shouldn't buy um really it's really simple at the end of the day you want to know wavelength you want to make sure it matches with the wavelengths you're after and you want to know power density you can't get those numbers then effectively you're taking a risk and I'm sure these panels will work but if you're if you're paying really like bottom dollar for something that doesn't have these numbers you're probably going to find out it's not really doing much good so that's all for me check the show notes below because I've got heaps of articles on red light I've got that discount code for the juve um I have got my reviews on other products and also I hit the elixir so come I got lots of content like this if you enjoyed this
