Do you have a link to that. Is it flourescent.

I was wondering about using LED strip lights. Any comments ?
Good stuff. Any idea how much benefit you get from having the lights so far away from the body. I could be wrong but I think most studies were done with the led right on the skin.I went Red Light purchasing crazy recently, so thought I would share some of my setups. I got 3 of the 12 watt ABI and a three socket floor lamp so I could get red light exposure while watching TV or whatever on the couch-

I also got one of those led grow panels and hung it over my desk at work. I work in a bizarre writer's room, so no one even asked what it was for. Instead, I got several complements for making the place look more like a brothel-

(looks a lot more red without the camera flash)
I also got the mini Rubylux, which is good for targeted work to raise testosterone, since it doesn't get warm at all (I think we know the area I'm referring too). Also got some of the infrared devices that I'm trying out on my knee, and stomach.
Thinking of getting some Brooder Lamps for a cheap Sauna setup, but can't figure that one out just yet (location wise in my apartment).

DIY like this
It will cost more that what the video indicated because of using a different strip light as opposed to the infrared. I've also seen strip lights that are @ 660nm or was 630nm.
TIA
When last I looked (1-2 years ago), those strip lights ended up being significantly more expensive per watt than panels (the type with the LEDs directly on a circuit board). Maybe the relative prices have changed in the meantime though.
Seems like a lot of work that may not be any cheaper than the pre-made grow lights. Also keep in mind the good wavelengths are between 600 and 900nm, depending on what you want to do. The strip with the 850/940 nm seems a bit high.

got ityou can specify that you want 850nm strip or 940nm strip but not both.
I have the 12 led 660nm similiar to yours. Until I can figure out how much energy its putting out in mW/cm2 I am only using it for a minute at a time and 30 seconds for testoterone.Not sure, and only been doing this about a week. The smaller devices I do use close to the body for short periods of time (2-10 minutes or so). My guess on the light panel at work is that it's a tiny fraction (say, maybe 5%?) of the effect, but I usually end up under it for a couple hours. The ABI lights seem to put out more light than the grow panel, and are much closer (about 2-3 feet from my body). I sit under them for about an hour or so at a time, often using the other devices simultaneously.
I plan on doing some testosterone blood tests at the end of the month (got some other tweaks I'm doing), so I'll try and report any noticed changes at that time.

I also have the 114 led 850nm which I use for deep tissue maybe 1 minute at a time. Curious to see what changes you get.
I am not sure that solar light meters measure single wavelength red light correctly. Not sure though but for IR you need an IR meter.are you getting a solar meter ? please let us now once you figure it out. I am planning to get those ABI lights too.
Are the 24w version of the ABI lights an overkill ? Also, ABI lights has a version of those in 620-630nm ?
Thinking of getting 3 ABI lights, 2x 660 and 1x 620-630nm.
Without any reviews I would be warry. Some of these are really cheap and break down in a few months. I bought this one and am very happy with it.any comments in regards to this 850nm Illuminators ?

Even with the glass on it still heats up my skin within a minute or so so I know its powerful enough.
yescan the glass cover be taken out on that device ?
Sure its fluorescent tube but they're totally safe... at least while you won't crash the tubes haha. They have a very high output for whole body coverage, and the point is that they offer a benefit for full wellbeing beyond a localized spot effect. I mean for red light, not IR.
There are many canopies and tube manufacturers out there. Im looking for models and prices yet. This is from Cosmedico.
