Welcome to my video about the red light therapy treatment area where I'm experimenting with my spectrometer.

So, let's dig deeper into the red light therapy treatment area topic:

✅ My previous experiments showed that the light stays rather close to the panel, from a 90-degree angle, so it's not projected outward much from panels
✅ The significance of this outcome is very big: the beam angle of a panel has a huge effect upon a red light therapy treatment protocol. If the light projects very much straightforward and doesn't scatter too much, you'll have to put all your body parts directly in front of the panel to get adequate treatment. Or, you'll have to turn around a lot to get proper treatment
✅ So in this video, I'll compare five different panel and explore their beam angle - these are the 1) Joovv Solo 3.0; 2) Rouge Pro - 30-degree angle; 3) Mito Red MitoPRO 1500 - 60-degree angle; 4) a Mito Red Mito Mid - 60-degrees; 5) Platinum LED BioMax 900 - 90-degrees
✅ These different panels cover the wide range of beam angles different panels have.
✅ In my experimental setup, I go out about 60 centimeters, which is roughly two feet, and then check on the wall how widely the light is projected (so how widely the light scatters). I'll measure the width of the LEDs on the panel, and then, on the wall, I'll also measure the width of the area to which the red and near infrared light is projected
✅ First up, with the Rouge Pro, there's a 16 centimeter width across all LEDs. At ~2 feet, there's a 50-centimeter projection width, although in reality, there's about a 30 centimeter focus point where more light arrives
✅ For the Mito Red MitoPRO 1500, the width of the LEDs is 16.5 centimeters and it projects to 59 centimeters out on 2 feet. The focus is about 36 to 38 centimeters
✅ Thirdly, the MitoMID is 11 centimeters across with LEDs and the projection area is even bigger than the MitoPRO 1500
✅ Fourthly, the PlatinumLED 900, which is supposed to have a 90-degree beam angle, and measures 22 centimeters across all LEDs. The projection area is 45 centimeters.
✅ Conclusions so far is that the Mito Red MitoPRO has the widest coverage by far, and the BioMax 900 has a tighter projection area. This outcome also shows why I don't talk about beam angle in my reviews. Nevertheless, normally you stand anywhere between 6 to 12 inches from the panel, which lowers the impact of this phenomenon
✅ Also, to put things into perspective, if I take the width of my shoulders, I'm about 53 centimeters across. Even with the BioMax at 2 feet, I'm not getting full coverage
✅ Just to test my hypothesis, I did a second spectrometer test. With the BioMax setup, I'm only getting a quarter of the power output outside the focus area. Even more outside the focus area you're only getting like 6-7% of power output
✅ For the MitoPRO 1500, the outcomes are the same - only a quarter of light is emitted directly outside the focus area
✅ The same is true for the Rouge Pro, you need to be in front of the LEDs to get a good treatment dose
✅ My conclusion? You need panels that are the same width as you want to treat. Usually, that means you need to buy two panels and stick them together. I explain my ultimate red light therapy setup in this video here: https://aferg.co/RLT-at-home-setup
✅ Another conclusion of mine is that beam angle is kind of useless for reviewing purposes
