- Red and near-infrared light stimulates the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria (the power plants of your cells). This leads to increased ATP (adenosine triphosphate) formation and thus to increased energy production at the cellular level.
- There are countless scientific studies on these effects.
- RED LIGHT THERAPY -
Biohackers use light panels for a variety of positive effects on health and for regeneration after exercise! The principle behind it is called "photobiomodulation". Here, light is used to support the healing or regeneration of the body. The light (red, infrared, yellow and/or near infrared) can have different properties depending on the wavelength.
LED red light panels also have the great advantage of being easy to use at home.

Biohackers use red light for a variety of positive effects on health and for regeneration after exercise!
The principle behind it is called "photobiomodulation". Here, light is used to support the healing or regeneration of the body. The light (red, infrared, yellow and/or near infrared) can have different properties depending on the wavelength. LED panels also have the great advantage of being easy to use at home.
The promising results of new studies have led to increased attention being paid to photobiomodulation. So far, no or only a few side effects of light therapy have been identified. The treatment can be easily carried out at home. All that is needed is a reliable light therapy lamp. These light therapy lamps are increasingly being offered by trustworthy manufacturers with the necessary scientific background knowledge.
FAQ - Light Energy
- LED light energy lamps are not heat lamps like those you know from physiotherapy or as a home remedy for colds or tension. These heat lamps are based on the thermal or warming effect that is created by a filament.
- Our lamps, on the other hand, use light-emitting diodes (LEDs), i.e. cold light, and work with very specific wavelengths (depending on the color) to achieve a desired effect.
- The wavelengths of our LED lamps are 630 nm, 660 nm and 850 nm. Wavelengths in the range of 850 nm are not visible to the human eye. It seems as if the lamps are broken. But the body still perceives the light.
- No, unless your clothing is specifically translucent.
- If you hold the lamp in your face, we recommend that you use protective goggles.
- In general, you should never look directly into the light of the red light lamps, just as it is not recommended to look directly into the sun.
- The LED panels are very bright/too bright for the eyes, so many consider red light therapy a time of relaxation and close or cover their eyes during the session.
- No! Sunburn is caused by UV radiation. However, UV radiation is not included in the light spectrum of our LED lamps.
- No! Sunlight beats LED red light. Without question!
- LED red light panels are a good alternative, but a red light lamp cannot compare to real sunlight. To best support your sleep and wake cycle and your general health, you should ideally spend as much time as possible in natural sunlight during the day.
- In addition to effects such as vitamin D production in the skin, which is stimulated by the sun's UV radiation (especially in summer), the light from the sun also has a direct influence on your body's internal clock. Therefore, if possible, you should go outside first thing in the morning at sunrise and avoid artificial light in the evening.
- But - in our modern times, we hardly have the opportunity to expose ourselves to the sun as we should. Especially in winter, we rarely get natural sunlight (directly on the skin, without clothes).
- LED red light helps enormously here.
- For best results, place the front of the device close to bare skin and no more than 15-20cm from the area to be treated.
- If you use all wavelengths of light, you should only use the device during the day.
- LED red light panels should be used on clean, bare skin.
