Someone asked to forward Brooks' comments on LEDs. Marshall ---BeginMessage--- I would remind list members that if one is investigating the use of LED bulbs/arrays for circulation improvement and/or topical pathogen controlwe have found that the red spectrum elements in the 660 to 680 nanometer range are MUCH superior those in other ranges. They do not cost any more than other colored...or clear bulbs.but are immensely more effective at circulation improvement. At least that has been our experience.

Re: CS LEDs arthritis: COMMENT
Interesting thread. I picked up something similar to the flashlight you described at Murray's auto parts store, about a year ago. It has RED LED's in rows along the length of the flashlight and can be made to pulse (on/off) or run in constant mode. It also has powerful magnets on the lamp end so it can be set on the top of the car for a trouble beacon. I think it was only 19.00. Last year at Christmas time when family was over, my granddaughter picked up some foam painting pads I had by my computer. I immediately said put that down those are for a medical device I want to put together. Well, probably don't have to tell you everyone burst out laughing...LOL My oldest daughter said Oh come on now mom you got to be kidding! She thought I was being ridiculous. Naturally I replied NO, I'm not kidding, with a straight face and began to educate her. She wasn't interested, but some day she may be :o) Geeze, now my flashlight will fall into the don't touch category. How funny!

Re: CS LEDs arthritis: COMMENT
I have heard blue in the 400-500nm range is effective for acne and other skin issues. A famous laser company is selling a 405nm laser specifically for acne treatment. I'm wondering if red is just as good?

Re: CS LEDs arthritis: COMMENT
Thanks for the clarification. This makes me think of my grandma using infrared for her arthritic hands, so she could quilt.

There was a spike in the graph between 500 and 600nm. But when I was a kid, I thought the flashlight was red because I have red blood!

Re: CS LEDs arthritis
No I laid it directly on the area that seemed to be causing the discomfort until it started to feel warm. The leds are cool so there is no burn.
