The Importance of Red Light Therapy for Modern Humans

Presently, due to the popularity of energy efficient sources of the LED and CFL, the deficiency of red and even near-infrared light is increasingly alarming. This wavelength is very important for general well-being and health.   House Lighting Problems Lighting deficiency normally happens when people spend time inside buildings, whether at work, school, or home-and in automobiles, they will receive only a small percentage of the sunlight their predecessors received. Even under cloudy skies, sunlight can provide a broad spectrum, including the red and near-infrared wavelengths; these are usually missing in bright indoor artificial lighting. This could be compounded by implementing energy-efficient windows that would limit further exposure to the critical wavelength spectrum. A massive reduction in red and near-infrared light exposure could have been contributory to the several health hazards; hence alternatives need to be sought. What is Red Light Therapy?
