Broad band collagen lamps are currently not produced by the LightSources group, but can be manufactured upon request. Distinguishing characteristics between red fluorescent and LED technology include • With fluorescent red light therapy it is possible to design affordable and effective full body cosmetic appliances (opposed to facial LED light therapy devices). • LED manufacturing, and purchasing LED light therapy sessions as an end -user, is much more expensive. Treatments can cost up to $150 or more per session, whereas red light fluorescent therapies have a more intense effect. • Opposed to fluorescent lamps, LEDs are very heat sensitive – inappropriate applications or excessive heat can substantially reduce both, light output and lifespan. • Many red light equipment OEMs have conducted medical studies to determine the required length and
