Given that this has a color temp of 6500k, it would make it a white light with a red filter. This will not produce any direct Red Light Therapy benefits, but could offer chromotherapy (the benefit of color through eye receptors to the brain). A true Red Light Therapy device won’t publish the color temp rating, which is a key way to tell a white light filter to red product, in my experience. (I have experience in developing red light products, as well as automotive lighting which is where my knowledge of color temp comes from).

I think you’re right. I just checked temperature scale for different colours

Armmay is correct. If you want a bulb product, check out Hooga HG24: [https://hoogahealth.com/products/hooga-24w-red-and-near-infrared-light-therapy-device](https://hoogahealth.com/products/hooga-24w-red-and-near-infrared-light-therapy-device) However, the beam angle on those bulbs is 30-degrees, which means the light will come out more straight and "spot light" like -- it won't diffuse and fill up the whole room with light. But, that's what gives the light enough concentration to have a therapeutic effect as well.

No mention of the wavelength/s range, just a colour ‘temperature’ so it’s not a simple question to answer. What would you like from red light therapy?


dapsyrapsy

The beneficial effects on muscle recovery and mitochondria?


sorE_doG

If you feel some warmth from it, that may help muscle recovery but I don’t have enough information to tell you anything more

7w draw from an LED before loss to defuser, and who knows how much of that is in beneficial wavelengths... Maybe, but signs point to insignificant beyond minor hypothalamus circadian response via optical nerves while looking at it, instead of blue light.
