Halogen Flood lights work better,
By
This review is from: TDP Far Infrared Lamp Latest Version Pain/Disease Mineral Heat Lamp for Chronic Pain, Arthritis, Rheumatoid, Carpal Tunnel, Inflammation, Migraines, Wounds, Circulatory, Menstrual Cramps, Injuries, Sprains, Diabetic Ulcers & More.
This lamp is operating only at 738 Kelvins which produces a black body radiation spectrum. The "minerals" inside of it do not do anything. All objects that are at 738 kelvins (870 degrees F) will emit the same far infrared spectrum. This spectrum will be absorbed completely in the first few mm of water in the skin. Any effects deeper are from heat conduction. In others words, this is the same as a heating pad. An ideal lamp for healing arthritis, shoulder and knee injuries, fibromyalgia, etc is a $7 halogen flood light available at home depot or lowes. Halogen operates at about 4100 kelvins so it has a spectrum close to the 5700 k spectrum of the sun (see note below). Up to 1 inch of tissue beneath the skin in animals who are exposed to sun light (or halogen lights, or normal heat lamps at 2500 k) will kick-start the krebs cycle output into being utilized for more ATP. In injured cells, this helps them maintain function and repair faster. There is little to no effect on healthy cells as they adjust after sensing an excess of ATP. Pain from arthritis, fibromyaligia, knee and shoulder injuries, broken pinkie toes, etc is reduced from an 8 to 2 (on a scale of 10) in 15 to 60 minutes, depending on how strong the light source is. Sun light with a mirror to double the intensity and sun screen for protection will take an hour before maximum benefit is reached. Treatment can be 3 times a day. Look up Tiina Karu in Russia for the first serious work on this soon after LLLT came out. Later work has been done by Whelan in the U.S. with LEDs which started with grants from the military and NASA (for example, healing retina injuries in rabbits). Skin healing is not hardly improved as skin healing seems to be near optimum. Muscle injuries seem to have little benefit, but tendonitis is helped a great deal (first stretch the tendon, apply light, then follow with ice). I use a 75 W halogen spot light with a "lamp repair kit" (lamp cord with base that is normally used for repairing lamps) and water in a "snow globe" container from a craft store to concentrate the light and to block the far infrared heat. Globe against skin, light against globe, sun glasses to protect my eyes. Treatment on small injuries with this set up is only 2 minutes. Without water blocking the heat, halogen lights take 15 to 30 minutes in one spot to see maximum benefit because you can get the light too close without the water in skin getting too hot. Water in zip lock bag can also be used. A nice flat gin bottle with water in it can also work.** note: The Sun, halogen, incandescent, and normal infrared lamps have a lot of light energy in the 600 to 900 nm wavelengths which are absorbed by copper and iron atoms in the CCO protein complex (4th stage in the electron transport chain) in mitochondria which pumps H+ to the inter-membrane so that ATP can be created in the final ATP step. Halogen is ideal. Incandescent and normal infrared lamps work, but they cause more far infrared heat in the skin. The item being sold here is operating a much lower temp and therefore causes too much far infrared. 600 to 700 nm is red light. 700 to 900 nm is called "near infrared" or "nearly red" light. LEDs are often used to provide the light. Fluorescents and some other light sources that operate at "2500 k" to "5700 k" are not actually operating at those temps and do not have a strong spectrum in the 600 to 900 nm range.

Hey there,We ordered a TDP lamp and then found out another had been ordered earlier that day. We cancelled our order with JDS and everything went smooth. I would recommend working with them.

This lamp really helps. I bought a smaller on a few years ago and it helped in a lot of conditions that my family members had at different times. I strongly recommend it for back or joint pain, sinus pain, broken bones and a number of other conditions. The infrared light decreases inflammation that contributes to pain. My order was delivered on time and complete.
