What we'd buy right now.
The panel we'd buy for clinic-grade red and near-infrared at home. 660nm + 850nm, FDA 510(k)-cleared, modular so you can scale coverage, with session tracking in the app. Overkill for travel — ideal as a permanent recovery fixture.
The most established light-therapy glasses, and the easiest way to get a timed dose of bright, blue-enriched light without standing in front of a lamp. Three intensities, IEC62471-certified and fully hands-free. Our default pick for jet lag, dark mornings and shift patterns.
Where the panels flood a room, the MOVE+ Pro wraps a knee, quad or joint in combined laser and LED. Battery-powered and genuinely portable — the one to travel with when a specific joint, not your whole body, is the problem.
