Great video and I just picked up a table top version recently and have one question, does it help carpal tunnel?
Your shopping guide is amazing, THANK YOU!
Thank you!
Please compare the full body panels to the sleeping bag type units. Thank you! You are helping so many people with these videos!
Working on it!
He did, just watched it.
Love this! Thanks for the info!
No problem :)
Just ordered my first panel and can’t wait for delivery- great video thanks 🙏
Thank you :)
NICE EXPLAINATIONS THANK YOU !!
:)
Thank You for doing the Research 😊
Any time!
the video you did with the doctor was awesome!! i wish more doctors in the us would support this for helping parkinson people. even if it helps a little it could make a big difference in the day to day routine. im going to set up a full body panel today to start the healing hopefully,not cure just another tool that people with medicle issues.
Hey. Thanks :) It was a great conversation! Good luck with your healing journey.
Awesome Alex - thanks! We're using our Rojo 5-6 times a week for 10 mins in the morning. I'm doing it before my workout and it's been great. I then walk into our Sunstream 🙂
Awesome setup! Very similar to my routine/setup :D
Thanks this was a phenomenal review!! 🙏Thanks great job!
Thanks.
great video thank you very much I just bought a panel based on a video you made in the past, I have ME/CFS hope it helps will see !
Best of luck!
This video is so well timed for me. My biomax900 is arriving today so I will be setting it up and starting my experimentation for my optimal doing over the next couple weeks. Your videos have been excellent in me starting my journey into red light therapy. Thank you so much for all of your context.
No problem!! ENjoy your 900!
How is it going?
Like others, I LOVE your videos and all the informative information you provide . . . very timely video as my Biomax 900 units are arriving today, and looking forward to getting started . . . slowly ;-)
Glad to help
A big thank you for your informative content. You are my go to guy for red light therapy.
Thanks so much!
thnks for the info
Another excellent video. Alex you explain things clearly in easy to understand language.
All we need now is someone to write a book based on the ever-popular "Dummies Guide to ....".
Thank you :)
I just found your videos and I’m loving all the info you offer. Do you know if RLT and/or the Infrared works for nail and foot fungus?
Hey! Thanks.
Hmmm not to sure about that one. Pop over to our Facebook group and leave a message there - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders the team or someone int he group will know doubt be able to help you.
You're terrific. I love your in depth explanations. You look great bald but have you had anyone try the red light caps for hair thinning or hair loss and monitored the efficacy? I was curious if they really work. Thank you for this video
Thanks for the kind words! We have an article coming out soon on RLT for hairloss. It doesn't seem to be a gamechanger for me - maybe it has slowed my hair loss though?
if you have a panel like the bio max where you can adjust the red lights. If you turn on only the near red light and look very close you should be able to just see a slight glow of red to tell if each bulb is on. If the normal red light is on you won't be able to see it over the bright red light.
Correct!
Tks
You are welcome!
yeah, they are great and for me .. after about 5-6mos the leds start dying
Hopefully, this issue was covered under warranty.
And I used your code
Why would one 10 minute session be more beneficial compared to two 5 minute ones 12 hours apart? I've been doing the latter for a couple of weeks, every day - no complaints - but I can't tell if this is really good or not.
Also, what do you think of a setup with one panel on top of the other and the person stands on a 3 RPM turntable for very even irradiation? I haven't seen it done, just got the idea and I'm thinking about doing it.
Hey alex .. got myself a biomax900 last month.. loving it.. only gripe is I wish it was a tad wider.. two questions….
as far as dosing goes I’m doing 5 minute per section (only upper body) .. this consists of splitting my front in two half’s, my back in 2 half’s, and then both sides directly … equaling out to total time 30 minutes a day, standing about 6-8 inches away.. and for about 3-4 times a week… anything you would switch up or change?
Second question… I am not wearing eye protection, there seems to be a lot of debate on if it’s truly necessary or not.. eyes are always closed when I’m working on my front, however I do have the later gen biomax with the few blue lights (which I’m thinking of turning off for when I do my front) just curious what you would do, I know you did mention in previous videos, how you tend to not wear eye protection either. And there are a lot of promising research how beneficial it actually can be on the eyes.. so always curious if I should be wearing eye protection or not lol
Yeah the new LightPathLED panel at 15 inches is a great size - th-cam.com/video/2ysBgXAd4dU/w-d-xo.html
Your dosing looks solid. I would stick with this.
Eye protection - yeah I turn the blue off when exposing my eyes/face. I'm starting to use the glasses when I do direct face work - just to be safe and because I am using a lot of RLT products!
My husband and I are over the road truckdrivers. I just purchased the Block Blue Light Mega panel with 300 lights for use in the truck. How durable are these panels and can they handle the long term life of living in a very bumpy environment? We plan to keep the packaging and store it in between uses in the box that it delivers in.
Hey! Very cool. Um I haven't thought about this before!! I actually don't know. I mean they should be ok, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if there was an issue. I mean if they're packaged up when not in use (during the bumps) I guess it's no different to them being freighted in the back by a truck right?!
Hi Alex, I’m mainly interested in using led for beauty: face, neck and hands. I’m confused if leds should sit directly on your skin (like masks) or should you be bathed in the light (like tabletop panels, dermalux Md). And I’m so confused why the more expensive leds like dermalux and cellulama actually requires 30 mins while the mask that has less power is only 10 min.
The time spent using a device is a reflection of the power being emitted from a device.
Hello Alex, thanks for all your help. Do you know anything about the KOZE X 2022.
I scanned through your reviews but couldn’t find that particular one - I’ve got the chance to buy it secondhand and wondered if it was a good option
No, sorry
Please respond to me do any of these infrared lights help with neuropathy either in pain or possible nerve regeneration?
Hey yes indeed. Have a look at this document - aferg.co/lllt-studies and do a search for neuropathy
Alex, your videos are awesome. I’m about to buy a platinum bio Max. I’m trying to decide between a four panel set up of 4 - 600’s or 2 -900’s with 2/450’s. The price of both are the same so just wanted to see what you thought it would be a better set up.
Hey thank you :) Oh thats a good q. I personally have 3x 900s - you can see a bit more about that here - th-cam.com/video/aO2Z7drmFYY/w-d-xo.html
But between the options you gave, I would go for the wider setup - the 900s and the 450s. The wider the panel the better, watch this - th-cam.com/video/woxhxZyUGao/w-d-xo.html
OK thank you for the reply. So if you have 3/900 then do you have two on top and then one in the middle of the other two beneath
OK so I looked and you have 4/900 right? Also, what discount code should I use so you get credit
@@NickFineman-jk5ji Yes 4x 900. But your 2x 900 + 2x 450 would work well. You'll just lose a bit of height. But you will save $. Honestly that setup will be fine. No code, but if you order through this link you will get an automatic 5% discount on your order - aferg.co/redled
Alex, thank you so much I do have one final question. I was also potentially looking between the 4/900’s and the mitopro ultimate. The one that has one solid panel that similar size. Do you have any thoughts on that panel? I haven’t seen any reviews on it and how it would compared to the platinum.
Any suggestions for the full body red light rooms at some gyms?
I have reviewed this - th-cam.com/video/EXTY9vA70gw/w-d-xo.html
What is the name of the tiny handheld version you showed in the beginning of the video?
Here's the video on that device:th-cam.com/video/0hzyu1dNtf0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lFKmTqDHQq2kQpV-
Can u please give me feedback and suggestions about the panel I just bought for increased circulation and skin health it’s the EXESAS Newest 120 LEDs, 600W Dual-Chip Red Light Therapy Device for Full Body 660nm & 850nm Near Infrared LED Therapy Panel
Sorry, I can't give feedback on a panel I haven't tested
Are you still able to get full power from the biomax 900s 8th gen when have 4 panels linked together wirelessly?
If turned on individually.
What devise would you recommend for treating ankle, feet, lower back and shoulder area.?
Maybe a Chroma Ironforge - th-cam.com/video/3PamzmX8c74/w-d-xo.html or any tabletop panel - th-cam.com/video/sm8F5xe59Iw/w-d-xo.html
Can I plug into an extension cord or multi plug board ? I did reach out to hooga and they said it was safe to plug into a multi board and I didn’t need to plug directly into the wall . Just wanted your thoughts
Yes it’s fine 👍🏼
hey alex . greetings from Argentina . thanks fot taking your time on teaching us about red light therapy. what do you think of getting exposure to a 300/500 w panel to the face during couple of hours while office working. 15 inch apox. many thanks again! PD. im not sure yet 300 full waves or 500 full waves?. same brand
Hey, you shouldn't use it for a couple of hours - that is too long. But 10-15mins will be fine.
What is recommended distance for face? 3 or 6 inches..
also can u use extension cord!
Have a shoulder that’s been bothering me for a few months now, was considering the kineion to try on this area. Wasn’t sure if it would make more sense to start with this and if it’s helpful then invest in a full panel down the road or if it’s better to start with a small panel.
If you check out my kineon review - th-cam.com/video/0hzyu1dNtf0/w-d-xo.html - you will see there are a lot of people who have had great results with it, even for shoulder problems. Though a panel may be more of a 'well rounded' product. Saying that, having BOTH products is quite benefical. I still use my Kineon despite having a bunch of panels to use.
Feel free to post this question in our FB group - facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders - you may get some good feedback from the community.
Thank you so much! Appreciate your feedback! I’ll be sure to check it out.
I have a question about laying the panel directly on your skin like my stomach. I can’t afford the large stand, but would like to lay it on my stomach. It says in the warning do not touch directly to skin and I’m curious why
There is a bit of heat build up. I would keep a small distance between the body and the panel
Alex, I have to see how you would make a full body therapy work if you only had the size of the bbl max … preferably not standing …
A horizontal stand and you would have to move it to hit different body parts. You could alternate days, day 1 top half and lower half Day 2 back top half and back lower half- just an idea
How much power does a panel require to target inflammation at about 1/2 to 1 inch below the skin? How would that be measured, in watts? Is it by the amount of lights?
Hey, it's a good question and it's REALLY hard to answer. Have a look at this for starters - th-cam.com/video/dynWCpql2ew/w-d-xo.html
You want to look at the devices irradiance (measured in mw/cm2).
I'd say something over 50mw/cm2 would be needed to penetrate that deep and still have good energy. And make sure you get something with NIR lights.
Would you PLEASE comment on the benefits (IF ANY) of blue light therapy? Sorry I looked at your channels but couldnt find except that biomax has option to turn it off.
Yeah sure - check this out - www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/blue-light-therapy/
what is the best belt re therapy light ?
I'm not sure yet as I haven't used many. I do have this review - th-cam.com/video/wHAvcwG7RLQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the video. I had a quick question you mentioned that you suggest wearing eye protection, but in all of your video clips in this video you aren’t wearing , is that only for red light therapy ?
I typically don't wear it when filming - it's annoying to operate the camera etc and have glasses on so I get lazy and leave them off.
I wanted to purchase the BIOMAX 600 “full panel” for the family
What’s your opinion on distance from it ?
And starting out, amount of time in light?

Hi Alex, When the company suggests 20 minutes per day, does it mean 20 minutes front of the body and 20 minutes back of the body or 20 minutes total? On this video I see you suggesting 5 minutes for each sides of the body (front, back and sides), is it right? Also, If my back hurts, should I do 20 minutes on my back and no front/sides, so I don't get overdue exposed to the light?
Hey, I wish I could provide some solid recommendations here but it's just so confusing. I honestly don't think anyone knows. You just have to experiment and see how things go. Panels are getting so much more powerful now that the treatment time can be shorter. Check this out for more advice - www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/how-to-use-red-light-therapy-101/
They should explain better in the manual.
Great job on your videos!
They are very helpful. Thanks. 😊
Hi there - do you have advice / tips on eye safety?
Hey we're working on some content to cover this.
He said it ? Explains it. Well re watch
I am feeling more and more confused about choosing a dull body panel I hsve looked at most of your videos now. and have been following for a year or more. I live in europe, so I was considering goong with the platinum LED biomax 900. For me the use is I need it to tackle fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and C-PTSD., so it is important the wavelengths can pass the brain blood barrier. Is it too much to find a panel that can tackle so many issues? 🤗
Hey - you will be ok with a multi-wavelength panel (630/660/850nm etc).
I will have a video coming out in a few days that looks at all the EU options :)
@@AlexFergusdotcom thank you so much for replying. I will take your advice. I will look forward to the video too 😊
Can you share some of the side effects you've heard from overuse of this device? Thanks!
The possible side effects from overdosing are what you mentioned in your other comment, headache, nausea, and just an overall sense of not feeling well.
I am so confused! Just spent $5600 dollars on 4
Bilomax panels with the motorized stand per your reviews and now I’m wondering if the 810 light and/or the pulsing lights are better. Haven’t opened it yet and am considering returning it until there’s more information.
Hey, you have a great setup! I'd keep that. The Biomax panels have 810nm. And I personally don't see much value in pulsing. Check this out - th-cam.com/video/DVBOHQbq3OU/w-d-xo.html
I also have questions about the goggles, usually I see that there is a little bit of light getting in thru the sides, or top, or bottom. It is very hard to have the eyes completely covered. Is it a problem?
Hey if it's light leakage around the side it will be fine.
Thank Alex,
You are the best 😀
Do I need to put any lotion before using the red light therapy??
No. I will look at doing a video or blog on this :)
Are there any restrictions we should be aware of in using the red light near the heart/chest cavity? or the throat neck? Thank you.
Red light near your heart? Are you trying to light up your love life? Just kidding, but seriously, consult a medical professional to avoid any unexpected surprises!
Thank you. Humor is always welcome and I was curious about the heart area as you stand with chest cavity in close proximity to the light. I am new to red light and appreciate your information. Wish I had found you prior to obtaining a product. Have a great day.
I have a BioMax 900 I do 15-20 minutes at night and 15-20 minutes in the morning. Is that an overkill?
How do you feel? That seems like a lot, but I don't know the distance you are standing from the panel.th-cam.com/video/dynWCpql2ew/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NZnbWnpSNr2Te-Bt
Mine only lights up half way. How can I Check?
Not sure what panel you have but NIR is invisible to our eyes.
The problem I found with goggles is 1. They don't block out all the light and 2. They cover the precise areas around my eyes where I want a theraputic dose.
Are there super minimal goggles that only cover the eye balls and not surrounding tissue? If not thinking this is a good use case for a mask design rather than a panel.
You could use the smaller tanning goggles - they are quite minimalist
Alex I am a 69 yr old female, with illness and stress my hair is shedding out, I have decided to go with red light therapy for overall wellness the Mito acutally after watching many of your video's
the Pro 300 to start to see will I actually use it continually, here is my question instead of buying a red light helmet also, for my hair , can I use my Mito Pro 300 on my head for the same results????
Yes! Also check this out - www.lighttherapyinsiders.com/red-light-therapy-for-hair-loss/
Lay in the sun go to a clean keto, the light helps, but the root cause is likely hormonal depletion of aging, the direct sun can help greatly,study hormonal supplements to make hormone pre cursors
why isn't there a blue light panel marketed the way the red light panel is?
Blue light isn't as beneficial (or amazing!) as red light therapy :)
Have you done a review on the hooga hg200 I just ordered one
Thanks. No just the 300 - th-cam.com/video/26A20h590jc/w-d-xo.html
Do you need a special outlet for a panel
No
Nope.
Can people with tattoos use it?
There is no research to suggest people with tattoos can't use it.
Is it safe to use in conjunction with retinol?
I'm not sure sorry.
The lost Tate brother. Disowned for being chill.
Lol. I need to look into this Tate guy. I get a lot of comments saying I look like him.
Alex you deserve better brothers
