For Red Light Therapy or Near-infrared Light Therapy

Red light falls into the visible part of the light spectrum between 630-700 nm on the electromagnetic scale and is used to treat the surface of the skin. Near-infrared wavelengths fall into the invisible part of the light spectrum between 700 and 1200 nm.
Near-infrared light, with wavelengths between 700 – 1400 nm, generates the most heat but does not penetrate deep into human tissues. In addition, the 760 – 895 nm range of infrared light can stimulate the mitochondria function, which can increase metabolism, improve tissue repair, and reduce inflammation

For Night Version

Active near-infrared illumination allow people or animals to be observed without the observer being detected. Flexible infrared LED strips are invisible light, putting the IR strip under the Camera with Night Vision (NO IR filter), you can see a red spot. These LED light strips are great for surveillance or security, the multi-touch display, and Night Version Light.

Application of Infrared LED Beads in Infrared Therapy Lamps: Common Wavelength Combinations and Product Types

Infrared LED beads are widely used in infrared therapy lamps due to their non-invasive nature, safety, and portability. These lamps utilize specific infrared wavelengths to penetrate tissues, promoting blood circulation, pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects. Below are the common wavelength combinations, product types, and their applications.

1. Common Wavelength Combinations and Their Effects

Infrared therapy typically utilizes near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR). The most commonly used wavelengths include:

Near-Infrared (700nm–1400nm)

  • Common wavelengths: 850nm, 810nm, 940nm

  • Characteristics: Deep penetration (5–10 mm), directly affects muscles and nerves, enhances cell repair and ATP production.

  • Applications: Deep tissue repair, arthritis, muscle pain.

Far-Infrared (1400nm–3000nm)

  • Common wavelengths: 1550nm, 2000nm

  • Characteristics: Absorbed by water molecules, producing a thermal effect that improves blood circulation and metabolism.

  • Applications: Chronic pain, rheumatism, skin inflammation.

2. Main Product Types

(1) Portable Therapy Devices

  • Infrared LED braces (e.g., waist belts, knee pads, wristbands)

  • Equipped with 850nm/940nm LED arrays for localized pain relief.

  • Advantages: Lightweight, wearable, suitable for home use.

  • Handheld therapy devices

  • Small, focused devices (e.g., 810nm for joint or acupoint therapy).

(2) Fixed Therapy Lamps

  • Panel-type infrared lamps

  • Large LED arrays (often combining 850nm and 940nm) for back or full-body therapy.

  • Example: Medical-grade red light therapy panels (often paired with 660nm red light for enhanced effects).

  • Desk/floor lamps

  • Far-infrared ceramic or LED sources (e.g., 1550nm) for gentle heat therapy.

(3) Multi-Wavelength Combination Devices

  • Red + Infrared combo therapy

  • E.g., 660nm (red) + 850nm (infrared) for skin repair and deep anti-inflammation (acne treatment).

  • Infrared + Thermal therapy

  • Far-infrared LEDs combined with heating elements (e.g., carbon fiber) for enhanced warmth.

3. Wavelength Ratio Configurations

Different wavelength combinations are optimized for specific therapeutic effects:

(1) Single-Wavelength Dominant

  • 850nm (NIR)

  • Best for deep muscle/joint pain (e.g., arthritis).

(2) Dual-Wavelength Synergy

  • 660nm (red) + 850nm (NIR)

  • Ratio: 1:1 or 2:1 (more red light for skin repair).

  • Used in acne treatment + pain relief devices .

  • 810nm + 940nm (dual NIR)

  • Ratio: 3:2 (more 810nm for nerve repair).

  • Used in neuropathic pain devices.

(3) Triple-Wavelength Combination

  • 630nm (red) + 810nm + 940nm

  • Ratio: 3:4:3 (balanced for skin, blood flow, and muscles).

  • Used in full-body recovery panels .

  • 850nm + 1070nm + 1550nm

  • Ratio: 5:3:2 (deep healing + metabolic boost).

4. Key Considerations

  • Penetration depth: NIR (850nm) for deep tissue, FIR (1550nm) for thermal effects.

What is the difference between 850nm and 940nm infrared LED strips?

The primary difference between 850nm and 940nm infrared LED strips is their visible emission and application requirements.

850nm infrared LED strips produce a faint red glow that may be visible in dark environments. They are commonly used in CCTV systems, night vision illumination, machine vision, and other applications where maximum infrared output is preferred and slight visibility is acceptable.

940nm infrared LED strips emit virtually no visible light, making them suitable for applications requiring discreet or concealed infrared illumination, such as covert monitoring systems, infrared sensing equipment, and specialized industrial applications.

Both wavelengths are suitable for infrared lighting and night vision systems. The appropriate choice depends on the required balance between infrared performance and visible light concealment.

Are infrared LED strips suitable for night vision camera systems?

Yes. Infrared LED strips are commonly used as supplemental illumination for night vision camera systems. Available in 850nm and 940nm wavelengths, they provide infrared light that can be detected by many IR-sensitive cameras, helping improve image visibility in low-light or dark environments.

850nm strips offer higher visible infrared output with a faint red glow, while 940nm strips provide a more discreet solution with virtually no visible light. The appropriate wavelength should be selected based on the camera specifications and application requirements.

For best results, verify that your camera system supports the selected infrared wavelength before installation.

Can infrared LED strip lights be integrated with motion sensors or automation systems?

Yes. Infrared LED strip lights can be integrated with compatible motion sensors, timers, occupancy sensors, relay controllers, and other automation systems. This allows the infrared lighting system to operate only when required, helping improve energy efficiency and supporting automated operation in security, monitoring, and industrial applications.

To ensure reliable performance, verify that the selected control device is compatible with the power supply, operating voltage, and current requirements of the infrared LED strip system before installation.

What power supply is recommended for infrared LED strip lights?

Infrared LED strip lights should be powered by a regulated 12V DC power supply that matches the strip's rated operating voltage. The power supply capacity should be selected according to the total load of the connected LED strips, including any voltage drop considerations for longer installations.

For reliable operation, it is recommended that the power supply provide at least 20% additional wattage above the calculated system load. Proper power supply sizing helps ensure stable performance, improved system reliability, and extended service life.

Do infrared LED strip lights support dimming?

Yes. These infrared LED strips support PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming when used with compatible DC dimmers or infrared lighting controllers. PWM control allows the infrared output level to be adjusted to meet the requirements of different monitoring, sensing, and industrial applications.

Because infrared light is not visible to the human eye, changes in output intensity cannot be visually confirmed under normal conditions. Dimming performance should be verified using IR-sensitive cameras, infrared sensors, or appropriate measurement equipment.

For reliable operation, use only compatible DC PWM dimming devices. Incompatible AC dimmers or unsuitable control equipment may result in flickering, unstable operation, or reduced system performance.
