Irradiance in context
The Helio Glow lists 71 mW/cm² at 6 inches. Measurement note: LightLab spectrometer, but only the Glow was physically tested; other models are extrapolated Pairing surface reds (630nm, 660nm) with deeper near-infrared (810nm, 830nm, 850nm, 1064nm), it covers both skin-level use and deeper muscle or joint targets. Check this figure at your real distance with the dose calculator, aiming for a studied 10 to 60 J/cm² range; if the number is method-unstated or solar-meter based, treat roughly half of it as the working value.
What stands out
- carries a deep-infrared band (1064nm class), which most panels lack
- uses single-chip LEDs (full power to one wavelength per diode)
- 60-day trial window
- irradiance is stated from spectrometer measurement
What to check before buying
- returns can carry a fee: none stated - 60-day risk-free trial with full refund eligibility ('send it back, no questions')
