What's The Difference Between Incandescent Chicken Bulbs And Those Expensive Red Light Therapy Panels? I've seen people posting about incandescent heat lamps that have been available for decades at about $20 each. They want to know if it's basically the same as “those expensive red light therapy panels?” Incandescent bulbs are not photobiomodulation… Here's the truth… In this thread, we’ll get into the weeds on the major differences between them…

@Amonhohohotep I’m confused by this photo, that device only goes up to 1000 nm, but we can assume that that infrared graph will keep climbing so yes we can assume 1064 is included. But I don’t understand what your arrow is supposed to be pointing to?

Chr.@Amonhohohotep·1d

@RedLightRising Halogens drop some heavy 1064nm (as well as all adjacent wavelengths😉).

Bryan G@RedLightRising·1d

Amazing study showing that near infrared light increases cognitive function. But here is the problem: this study specifically used 1064 nm, which is not a very common wavelength. So everybody is out there trying to find devices that have 1064. But you don’t need to worry about. We know that near in red light wavelengths from 800 to 1400 nm have very similar biological effects on us. You don’t specifically need 1064. Any device that is powerful enough and contains near infrared light, usually in the 800 nm range, will probably give you the same benefits.

@Amonhohohotep Have you got any examples? The reason I ask is because my lenses have been third-party tested by a lab, and the red lenses block 100% of blue and green light. So it’s impossible to get better than that…?

Chr.@Amonhohohotep·1d

@RedLightRising Deep red lenses that are made for lab work/laser safety are the way to go.

English

Bryan G@RedLightRising·1d

YES! Stop wasting time with clear lens “blue blockers” . The lenses must be yellow, orange or red to be effective! Counteract the effects of blue light on your eyes by getting plenty of sun or red light therapy! (Studies show red light therapy makes eyes healthier) 👇🏼 x.com/redlightrising…

⚡️ The Blue Light Diet ⚡️@BlueLightDiet

Attention Eye Doctors Blue light blocking glasses work. The problem is you often test and prescribe blue light blocking glasses that dont work (the clear lens). Start prescribing blue light blocking glasses that work (the dark orange and red lens). Thank you for your attention to this matter. Oh and see my favorite blue blockers below.

Red light therapy is expensive. But I’ve been doing this for 9 years and I have ~ 10,000 customers. Every day I receive emails and text messages from people thanking me because the quality of their life has been improved because of red light therapy. When you’re able to finally get the health results that you were desperate for… whether you were trying to ➡️ support your eyes, ➡️ reduce your joint pain, ➡️ get better sleep or whatever it is, Once people feel the benefits and the results, the money is no longer important. If your money could buy your health back, would you spend it? Before you buy a red light therapy product, answer these 5 questions for yourself x.com/RedLightRising…

Red Light Therapy Masks With Blue Light Are Breaking Down Your Collagen While Pretending To Fix Your Skin. Here's What To Do Instead... Blue light destroys harmful bacteria on your skin. That sounds like a good thing. But it's exactly the reason why you shouldn't be using it. Many red light therapy masks also contain blue light in the 400nm range. Companies tell you it's good for killing the bacteria that causes acne. But what they don't tell you is that the same blue light is also damaging the skin cells you're trying to rejuvenate with your red light therapy. So you're buying a red light therapy mask to improve your skin. But the blue light in that mask is working against you. I'll show you what the research actually says and what you should be doing instead. A 2026 Review Of 45 Studies Says Blue Light Damages Your Skin At Every Level The findings were clear: blue light causes damage at the molecular, cellular, and clinical level. Here's 4 problems with blue light and your skin: 🟦 Blue light triggers the production of reactive oxygen species inside your skin cells. That's the same mechanism that kills bacteria. But those reactive oxygen species don't stop at bacteria. They activate enzymes that break down your collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and glowing. So the very thing that makes blue light "good" for acne is the same thing that's destroying your skin structure. But it gets worse. 🟦 Blue light disrupts the circadian rhythm of your skin cells. Your skin does most of its DNA repair overnight. But if that circadian cycle is thrown off by blue light exposure, the repair process is impaired. So the damage accumulates while you sleep instead of being fixed. 🟦 It also activates Opsin-3 receptors in your melanocytes, which increases melanin production. So blue light can cause or worsen hyperpigmentation (dark spots, uneven skin tone) the exact things most people are trying to fix with their red light mask. 🟦 And it impairs fibroblast proliferation. Fibroblasts are the cells that produce new collagen. So not only is blue light breaking down your existing collagen, it's also reducing your skin's ability to make more. 4 mechanisms all working against your skin (from the light that's supposed to be helping you.) You're Already Getting Too Much Blue Light Anyway Most people don’t think of this… You're already surrounded by artificial blue light every single day. 😲 While you're reading this on your phone, blue light is hitting your face. 😲 When you watch Netflix, blue light is hitting your face. 😲 Your house lighting is showering you in blue light. So your skin is already dealing with a constant blue light assault from screens and LEDs. (Red light therapy LEDs are completely different to household LEDs, comment RED LEDS and I'll send you my piece) No need to add more blue light from your mask! The only blue light that your skin is designed to handle comes from the sun, balanced with infrared wavelengths that protect against the damage. Comment BLUE SUN if you want to learn more about that. What To Do Instead Step 1: Check your red light therapy mask. If your mask has a blue light setting, stop using it. Most masks let you toggle wavelengths independently, use the red and near infrared settings only. If your mask doesn't let you turn off the blue LEDs separately, it's the wrong mask. You should not be paying for a device that damages your skin while claiming to improve it. Step 2: Add more infrared light. Infrared light does the exact opposite of blue light. Where blue light triggers reactive oxygen species that destroy your cells, infrared light stimulates protective antioxidant mechanisms that defend them. Get more infrared from: Sunlight- get outside as much as possible, especially around sunrise and sunset when infrared is potent. Red light therapy- but only devices that use red and near infrared wavelengths without blue light. Incandescent light bulbs- they produce massive amounts of infrared that helps counterbalance screen exposure. Comment INFRARED and I'll show you all the ways to get more of it. Step 3: Reduce the blue light hitting your skin. -Ditch any red light therapy product that includes blue light. -Switch your overhead LED lighting to warmer bulbs or incandescents. -Reduce screen time after dark -Use red filters on screens and blue blocking glasses. -Spend less time indoors under artificial lighting and more time outside in natural light. Every hour you spend under harsh white LEDs or staring at a screen is another hour of unbalanced blue light hitting your face without any infrared to protect against the damage. The Bottom Line Silly companies add blue light to their red light therapy products to make you think you're getting more value. But 45 studies say that blue light breaks down your collagen, disrupts your skin's DNA repair cycle, worsens pigmentation, and reduces your ability to produce new collagen. You already have more than enough blue light in your life. You don't need it in your red light therapy device. Share this post if you found it useful.

Health is now a status symbol Health has transitioned from a basic biological necessity to a socioeconomic statement Among affluent circles health products and services replaced luxury goods — Pilates studios, sauna, red light therapy, peptide clinics Investing in health (both your own and as a asset class) is one of the greatest hedges against technology Health is the antithesis of technology, it is learning how to be a human from first principles, eating and living like people lived up until very recently. The new wave of health (peptides, biohacking) is truly Faustian It is the pendulum swinging the other way, total body facism What we gained in technology, we lost in health Take back your health

Red light therapy is different to red ambient light. This post is about red ambient light. Red light has the opposite effect on your biology as blue light. Blue light stimulates you and wakes you up. Red light calms your nervous system and allows you to start relaxing and promotes melatonin production. I’ve written extensively on the subject, comment BLUE LIGHT and I’ll explain everything.

Blue Light Destroys Harmful Bacteria On Your Skin But That's Exactly The Reason Why You SHOULDN’T Be Using It. Many red light therapy masks also contain blue light (400 nm range) which they tell you is good for killing the bacteria on your skin that causes acne problems. But what they don't tell you is that that same blue light is also causing damage to your skin cells which you are trying to rejuvenate with your red light therapy! The irony is that you're buying red light therapy to improve your skin but the blue light is actually damaging it. I’ll show what you 2 steps should be doing instead so you dont accidentally do more harm than good with your red light therapy mask. 2026 Review Study: Effects of blue light exposure on human skin at the molecular, cellular, and clinical levels: A systematic review This review looked at 45 studies on the effects of blue light on human skin and showed that it damages skin at the molecular, cellular, and clinical level. 🔵 Blue light triggers the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside your skin cells (the same stuff that kills bacteria), which activates enzymes that break down your collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep your skin firm and glowing. 🔵 It disrupts the circadian rhythm of your skin, which interferes with DNA repair overnight, so the damage gets worse while you sleep. 🔵 It activates Opsin-3 receptors in melanocytes, increasing melanin production, meaning it can cause or worsen hyperpigmentation. 🔵 It impairs fibroblast proliferation which reduces your skin's ability to produce new collagen. Excess Blue Light Is Already An Issue, So Why Add Even More? You're already surrounded by way too much artificial blue light anyway. ⚠️ While you're reading this on your phone, you're getting blue light all over your face. ⚠️ When you relax and watch some Netflix, you're getting blue light all over your face. ⚠️ Your house lighting is showering you in blue light. And hopefully when you spend time in the Sun, you're getting blue light all over your face (this is the right kind of blue light, but that's another article) Comment BLUE SUN if you want to learn more about that. Protect Yourself From Too Much Blue Light Step 1: Add more infrared Infrared light is the exact opposite of blue light. Blue light damages and destroys your cells, infrared light buffers and stimulates protective mechanisms. More: → Sunlight → Red light therapy → Incandescent light bulbs → Using red filters on your screens → Wearing blue blocking glasses to protect your eyes/ brain Comment INFRARED and I’ll show you all the ways to get more of it. Step 2: Reduce the blue light in your environment: Less: → Red light therapy products with blue light! → Harsh overhead LED lighting → Time staring at screens, especially after dark → Time indoors Dodgy companies add blue light to their red light therapy products to make you think that you're getting more value out of it. But the fact is you already have enough blue light in your life, you don't need it in your red light therapy device. Share this post if you find it useful.

@DrGrimmMD This is incredible. Fantastic post. I’ve actually been doing similar deep dive myself on the effect of certain kinds of light and eye health. I’ve been writing a lot about red light therapy for eyes, if anybody’s interested in checking it out.

Bryan G@RedLightRising

Red Light therapy for eye health is blowing up. This article shows: Red and near infrared light ✅ boosts ATP production ✅ reduces oxidative stress ✅ triggers anti-inflammatory cellular responses According to the studies, red light therapy has been shown to help with: ➡️ Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Comment AMD and I’ll send you my article on the topic) ➡️ Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Macular Edema ➡️ Myopia (shortsightedness) in Children ➡️ Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP): ➡️ Amblyopia (lazy eye) ➡️ Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): ➡️ Dry Eye Disease: ➡️ Central Serous Chorioretinopathy ➡️ Stargardt Disease: ⭐️Safety is strong across every condition and age group, from premature babies to elderly patients ⭐️ Red + near infrared together activate different cellular targets synergistically ⭐️ Sessions are 3-5 minutes per eye. ⭐️ Starting red light therapy earlier is better but even advanced patients can get benefits. ⭐️ Vision improvements last 3-36 months in some studies even without ongoing treatment. Comment RED LIGHT and I’ll send you a link to the best product for eyes.

This Is Not a Video. LOOK CLOSE Did You Know Your retina edits blue light before consciousness ever sees it? At first glance, this little “9 purple dots” illusion looks simple. But hidden inside this image is one of the most fascinating pieces of biologic engineering in the human body. All 9 dots are the exact same color. Yet when you stare directly at one, the others often appear more blue while the center one appears more purple. That is not your imagination. That is your retina revealing its architecture. And honestly… I think this illusion exposes one of the biggest “Field Medicine” easter eggs hiding in plain sight: Eye ISN’T a camera! Your retina is actively filtering, editing, prioritizing, and reconstructing spectral information BEFORE your conscious brain ever sees reality. Think…Because medicine usually teaches vision as: light enters eye… retina detects…brain interprets. But biology is far more sophisticated than that. The very center of your retina, the foveola, contains surprisingly few S cones. Those are the cones responsible for short wavelength blue detection. Then layered directly over this region sits the macula lutea. “Lutea” literally means yellow. That yellow pigment is made largely from: • lutein • zeaxanthin These pigments preferentially absorb blue wavelengths before they even reach the central cones. Think about that. Evolution intentionally placed a yellow spectral filter over the highest acuity tissue in the human body. Why? That is where Field Medicine gets interested. Because evolution rarely spends energy protecting something unless there is a meaningful tradeoff involved. Blue light is biologically powerful. Short wavelength photons carry more energy than longer wavelengths. That makes them incredible signaling molecules for: • circadian timing • melanopsin activation • dopamine signaling • alertness • environmental awareness • neuroendocrine regulation But high energy photons also come with biologic cost. They scatter more. They create more chromatic aberration. They increase photochemical stress potential. They interact aggressively with oxygen-rich tissues. And the retina is one of the most metabolically expensive tissues in the body. The fovea is densely packed with mitochondria-rich cones operating in a high oxygen environment with delicate DHA-rich membranes that are especially vulnerable to oxidative damage. So evolution appears to have engineered a compromise. Allow blue light into the system for timing and environmental information… while simultaneously buffering the exact center of visual fixation from excessive short wavelength burden. That is spectral engineering. And honestly… the implications become very uncomfortable when we compare this biology to modern life. Historically, humans experienced blue light primarily from: • the sky • broad spectrum sunlight • dynamic outdoor environments • balanced with infrared • balanced with ultraviolet • balanced with circadian timing Now compare that to the modern environment: • close range screens • narrowband LEDs • low infrared balance • nighttime exposure • prolonged foveal fixation • reduced solar variability • reduced outdoor spectral complexity We voluntarily lock the exact center of our retina onto concentrated blue dominant light sources for 8–14 hours per day. That matters. Especially when layered onto: • aging mitochondria • declining melatonin • reduced redox flexibility • lipofuscin accumulation • lower macular pigment density • chronic inflammation • reduced near infrared exposure This is where macular degeneration starts becoming much more interesting than a simple “wear and tear” disease. Because the retina itself may already be telling us something. The highest acuity tissue in the human eye evolved behind a yellow spectral filter and with reduced blue cone density.
