| Micheal LondoOctober, 2025Why Every Inch Matters: The Truth About Red Light Therapy Distance
When it comes to red light therapy, you might assume that as long as you're in the same room as the device, you're getting the benefits. However, the distance between your skin and the light source is arguably one of the most critical factors determining the effectiveness of your sessions.
So, how close should you really be? The answer is: as close as possible.
The Rapid Dissipation of Light Energy
The science behind it is simple physics. Red light energy, like all forms of light, dissipates incredibly fast as it travels from its source. As our expert explains in the video, this means that even a few inches of distance can dramatically reduce the amount of therapeutic light reaching your body [00:05]. The further away you are, the less effective the treatment becomes, potentially turning a powerful modality into a minimal one.
The Importance of Accurate Measurement
This rapid dissipation is also why accurate measurement of light output is so vital. Many companies might quote very high readings, but it's important to understand how those readings are taken.
As highlighted in the video, some competitors measure directly on top of a bare diode [00:22]. This will naturally give a very high number. However, what truly matters for therapeutic efficacy is the measurement on top of the clear plastic between the body and the diodes [00:17]—the actual output where the light meets the skin. Our approach, measuring output at the point of application, ensures that the reported power is what actually reaches your clients, a method even validated by FDA inspectors [00:31].
Don't Let Distance Sabotage Your Results
For your clients to receive optimal results, the light source needs to be within one to two inches of their skin. This proximity ensures maximum absorption of the therapeutic wavelengths, allowing the body to truly harness the power of red light.

| Micheal LondoOctober, 2025A New Marketing Model: How to Get 15-20 New Paying Clients in 30 Days
You offer the best wellness services in town. You’ve invested in top-tier equipment and training, and you know the industry better than anyone. But there's a persistent, frustrating challenge that even the best practitioners face: getting a steady stream of new clients through the door.
For many, it’s a roller coaster. Some months are filled with bookings, while others are alarmingly quiet, leading to high stress and unpredictable revenue. Does that sound familiar?
In an attempt to solve this, many business owners turn to marketing agencies, spending thousands of dollars on promises of "the best leads in town." Too often, the result is a hefty bill with very little to show for it.
What if there was a different way? A model where a partner invests in your success first?

| Micheal LondoSeptember, 2025The Proof Is in the Power: Why Circuit Boards Beat Strip Lights in Red Light Therapy
When investing in a professional red light therapy bed, the most important components are the ones you can't immediately see. While the outer design matters for client comfort, the true performance of a device is determined by its internal electronics. The biggest dividing line in quality? Whether the bed uses high-grade circuit boards or cheap, flimsy strip lights.
One delivers consistent power and complete coverage, while the other can leave you with an underperforming asset.
You’ve probably heard us say it before: circuit board–based diodes are the gold standard for red light therapy. Here’s a side-by-side breakdown of why they are unequivocally superior for a clinical environment.
1. More Power & Consistency
A red light therapy session's effectiveness depends on a steady, powerful, and consistent output of light energy. Circuit boards are engineered to handle higher power loads and distribute energy evenly to every single diode. This ensures that the therapeutic wavelengths are delivered at their optimal intensity throughout the entire session.
Strip lights, on the other hand, are essentially decorative products. They are not designed for sustained, high-power output and can suffer from energy fluctuations, leading to a less effective and inconsistent treatment for your clients.
2. Durability & A Longer Lifespan
A red light therapy bed is a significant business investment that needs to withstand daily, repeated use. Circuit boards are rigid, robust, and designed for superior heat management, which is critical for the longevity of electronic components. This durability means your device will last for years, not months, providing a reliable return on your investment.
Strip lights are notoriously fragile. Their flimsy construction and poor heat dissipation make them prone to failure, which means more downtime for your business and a shorter lifespan for your equipment.
3. Superior Coverage & No "Gaps"
The goal of a session is to cover the body in a seamless field of light energy. This is where the physical design of circuit boards truly shines. They allow for a dense, tightly packed arrangement of diodes, ensuring you get full, even exposure across the entire treatment area.
Strip lights often have diodes spaced much farther apart, creating significant "gaps" or "cold spots" in light coverage. This uneven distribution means parts of the body are receiving a suboptimal treatment, compromising the client's results.
When you see the difference side-by-side, the choice is clear.
Check out this quick video for an up-close look at the high-grade, circuit-based diodes inside our OvationULT bed.
The takeaway is simple: for a professional setting where results and reliability are non-negotiable, always choose a red light therapy bed built with the proven performance of circuit boards.

| Micheal LondoSeptember, 2025Your 5-Point Checklist: Questions to Ask Before Buying a Red Light Therapy Bed
The red light therapy market is expanding rapidly, and for good reason. As more people seek natural, non-invasive solutions for their wellness goals, the demand for high-quality equipment is soaring. But with this growth comes a flood of products that don't always live up to their promises.
To protect your investment and ensure you’re getting a device that is safe, effective, and built to last, you need to do your homework. Here are five essential questions to ask any manufacturer before you buy.
1. Is It Built with Circuit Boards or Strip Lights?
This is a fundamental question of quality. Many low-end devices use cheap, flexible LED "strip lights." While suitable for decorative lighting, they lack the power, durability, and heat management needed for therapeutic applications. Always choose a device built with diode-based, rigid circuit boards. They are more powerful, far more reliable, and engineered for the demands of a clinical setting.
2. Is It Made in the USA or Resold from Overseas?
Knowing where your device is manufactured is a huge indicator of quality and support. Be cautious of companies that are simply reselling mass-produced devices from overseas, as this can lead to issues with quality control, replacement parts, and customer service. Look for a trusted U.S. manufacturer. This not only ensures higher performance standards but also means support is accessible and accountable.
3. Are the Device's Specs Legit and Certified?
Any reputable manufacturer should be transparent with their specifications and certifications. Two key credentials to look for are:
-
FDA Registration: This indicates the manufacturer and device are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a requirement for marketing these products in the U.S.
-
NRTL Certification: This means the device has been tested for safety and compliance by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (like UL or ETL). This is a crucial safety verification for any electrical device.
4. Can They Prove Their Certifications?
Don't just take a company's word for it. These registration and certification numbers are a matter of public record and should be easy to verify. Ask for their FDA registration numbers and look them up in the official database. A transparent company will provide this information without hesitation. A company that won't is a major red flag.
5. How Close Does the Light Get to the Body?
This is a question of pure physics. The energy delivered by an LED dissipates exponentially with distance. For best results, the light source must be positioned within 1-2 inches of the skin. Any farther, and the therapeutic effectiveness drops dramatically. Ask about the device's design—does it feature a contoured, zero-gravity shape that keeps the user at an optimal distance from the light?
Asking these five simple questions can protect you from investing in an overpriced, underperforming device and help you choose a partner you can trust.
