Irradiance in context
The Kala Red Light Elite Panel lists 161 mW/cm² at 6 inches. Measurement note: Brand-stated 135-161 mW/cm2 at 6 in; instrument not named Because it carries surface reds (660nm) alongside deeper near-infrared (850nm), it can serve skin-level sessions and deeper muscle or joint work alike. Put your actual distance and this figure into the dose calculator to land inside a studied 10 to 60 J/cm² range; when the number is method-unstated or solar-meter based, work from roughly half of it.
