This gadget really works to promote healing and eliminate aches and pains. An added benefit is that it is convenient to use at bedtime or while watching TV--no need to strap or to hold anything at a precise spot. Other "infrared" gadgets can help, but not as much, and not at all if they are too cumbersome to use regularly. One slight problem: the timer on ours is not very accurate, so we use a digital kitchen timer, turning it off when the bell sounds. I am thinking of getting one for the bathroom. I spend at least 1/2 hour daily in the bathroom--why not make it a health-building event?

THE AME TDP LAMP is also listed at Amazon for $170. I believe that the Gou Gang is the "original," but the AME might well come from the same factory. It looks to me like the same thing, and I would guess is just as good. The only apparent difference is in the weight. The Gou Gang lamp is 32 pounds--the AME lamp is 16 pounds. The Gou Gang lamp is very solidly built, even over-built. If you run a clinic and are concerned about it surviving rough handling, then by all means get the Gou Gang. However if you want something that is easy to move around, then the AME is worth a try. ("Just maybe" the AME timer even works better.)

This is an excellent product! You can adjust the height of the lamp very easily. The manual is very good. Assembly takes a few minutes. And it's solid. The manufacturer recommends keeping the heater at least 12 inches from your body, and I agree. You can move it closer and your skin will get very hot. So then you adjust it higher to your liking. But it's a wonderful penetrating heat that gets right into the joint. No light comes out from the heater, just penetrating heat. After a 30 minute session, the joint (knee) will stay warm for maybe an hour. If the heater is too close to your skin, it will make your skin red, almost like it's burning. So just adjust to the perfect comfort level. And it feels wonderful! This is a wonderful product! It's a great purchase!
