BioLight ReCharge Red Light Therapy Panel: Touch Screen, Adjustable Brightness & Pulsed Frequencies

BioLight | ReCharge BioLight ReCharge Tabletop Panel The ReCharge is the smallest panel BioLight builds: 11.3 in. by 8.3 in. of face on a 2.6 in. body, 8 lbs on the scale, 60 LEDs at 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared. It sits on a desk or a bench and covers one area at a time, and BioLight gives it the same touchscreen, the same 1 to 100% brightness control and the same pulse rate control that sits on their full-body ReStore panel. BioLight's reference figure for it is 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at 100% brightness. That number is worth reading with its distance attached, because the panel is small enough that a few inches either way changes it. The rest of the specification is short and clean: 136W, two cooling fans, 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz, a 30 degree focusing lens on each LED, three light settings, a programmable timer, published flicker of 1.2% modulation at 60Hz, and a stated 3 year warranty with a 100,000 hour LED lifespan.

Knowing how to read that table is the difference between a number you can use and a number you cannot. 🎚 What a Published Irradiance Table Is For A brightness percentage tells you where the control is set. It does not tell you how much light lands on a surface, because that depends on the array behind the control and on how far away the surface is. An irradiance table closes that gap: the manufacturer measures the output at each brightness step, at one stated distance, and publishes both. BioLight's reference figure for the ReCharge is 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at 100% brightness, and that is the figure this page stands on. The per-step table BioLight publishes underneath it is internally inconsistent, listing the 75% step above the 100% step, so we are not reproducing it here as though it described a working sequence. 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. 💡 60 LEDs at 660nm and 850nm Sixty emitters across an 11.3 in. by 8.3 in. face, each behind a 30 degree focusing lens that narrows its cone forward. Three settings run the array: red and near-infrared together, red only, or near-infrared only. BioLight calls the emitter their patent-pending Dual LED technology and describes each diode as producing both wavelengths. That description is BioLight's, and no patent or application number is published with it. 30 degree focusing lens 📱 The Same Touchscreen as the Full-Body Panel BioLight removed the physical buttons from this generation and put the light setting, the brightness, the pulse rate and the timer on a touchscreen. Pulse rate reaches 10,000 Hz, which is the same ceiling as their 36 in. ReStore panel, and the timer is programmable so the panel shuts itself off. Published light flicker is 1.2% modulation at 60Hz. Up to 10,000 Hz 📦 Eight Pounds and 136 Watts The whole panel weighs 8 lbs and is 2.6 in. deep, which is what puts it on a desk or a bench, and it draws 136W through two cooling fans on 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz. For scale inside BioLight's own range, their ReStore draws 476W through 8 fans and their ReJuvenate draws 3000W through 20. LED lifespan is published at 100,000 hours. 8 lbs, two fans The numbers Eight Figures From BioLight's ReCharge Specification The irradiance figure below is quoted at 6 in., the distance BioLight measured this panel at. 💡 60 LEDs 11.3 in. x 8.3 in. face 📈 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. 100% brightness 🌈 660nm red, 850nm near-infrared Three light settings 〰 Pulse rate up to 10,000 Hz Or continuous 📱 Touchscreen and timer Brightness 1 to 100% 🔍 30 degree focusing lens Beam angle per LED 🔌 136W through two fans 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz 🛡 8 lbs, 100,000 hour LEDs 3 year warranty, 60 day return Closer look The Face, the Screen and What Arrives With It The panel Sixty Emitters on an Eleven Inch Face The ReCharge's face measures 11.3 in. by 8.3 in. on a 2.6 in. body, with 60 LEDs across it at 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared. Each sits behind a 30 degree focusing lens, so the cone is narrow and the panel is aimed at one area at a time. BioLight's reference output for it is 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at full brightness. Three settings decide what comes out of the array: both wavelengths together, red only, or near-infrared only, and the near-infrared-only setting looks close to dark because 850nm sits past the visible band. 11.3 in. x 8.3 in. x 2.6 in., 8 lbs 60 LEDs at 660nm and 850nm 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at 100% brightness 30 degree focusing lens on each LED Three light settings: combined, red only, near-infrared only 60 LEDs 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. 8 lbs Controls Full-Panel Controls on a Tabletop Body Nothing was removed from the control set to make this the small one. The touchscreen carries the light setting, brightness from 1 to 100%, pulse rate to 10,000 Hz and a programmable timer, the same four controls that sit on BioLight's 36 in. ReStore. Brightness and pulse rate work independently of each other. One note on BioLight's own figures: they publish the bottom of the pulsing range two ways on the same page, as 0 Hz in the description and 1 Hz in the specification block, with 10,000 Hz as the ceiling in both. Touchscreen replaces the physical buttons Brightness adjustable from 1 to 100% Pulse rate up to 10,000 Hz, or continuous Programmable timer runs the session and shuts it off Light flicker published at 1.2% modulation at 60Hz Touchscreen 1-100% brightness To 10,000 Hz Setup What Actually Arrives in the Carton BioLight's package list for the ReCharge is four items: the panel with a plug matched to your shipping country, protective eyewear, the owner's manual and their Red Light Therapy Guide ebook. One thing to be clear about before you order, because BioLight's own page is not: their description praises the compact panel and stand design, but no stand appears anywhere in their package contents, and none is offered as an option. Plan on standing the panel on a table or a bench. We have asked BioLight to confirm whether a stand exists for this model. ReCharge panel with a country-matched power plug Protective eyewear Owner's manual and The Red Light Therapy Guide ebook No stand is listed in BioLight's package contents BioLight states roughly 3 to 4 weeks for delivery Eyewear included No stand listed Ships direct Compare Four BioLight Panels and Pods, Side by Side The ReCharge and the ReStore are both quoted at 6 in., so their figures can be read against each other. The Cocoon is quoted at contact and the ReJuvenate carries two unreconciled values, so neither is set against the panels here.

That is BioLight's own reference figure for this panel and it is the one we publish. Six inches is the only measurement distance BioLight gives for the ReCharge, so read the number with the distance attached and expect a different reading if you sit closer or further back. BioLight lists a figure for every brightness step. Why do you only show the 100% one? + Because their step table does not hold together. BioLight publishes 63 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at 100% and 66 mW/cm2 at 6 in. at 75%, which puts the dimmer setting above the brighter one, and they offer no explanation for it. A brightness ladder that runs backwards cannot be used to plan anything, so we are publishing the 100% reference figure that BioLight themselves repeat in their specification block, and leaving the rest of the table alone. We have asked BioLight to correct or confirm it, and we will publish the corrected ladder when they do. How big is it, and how much does it weigh? + 11.3 in. x 8.3 in. x 2.6 in. at 8 lbs. That is small enough to sit on a desk, a bench or a nightstand and light enough to carry between rooms. Shipped dimensions and shipped weight are not published. Does it come with a stand? + No stand appears in BioLight's package contents. Their four listed items are the panel with a country-matched plug, protective eyewear, the owner's manual and their ebook. BioLight's marketing copy for this model does describe a compact panel and stand design, which reads as a contradiction of their own package list, and no stand is offered as a paid option either. Plan on a table or a bench. We have put the question to BioLight. What wavelengths does it emit? + 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared, across all 60 LEDs, with three settings: both together, red only, or near-infrared only. Near-infrared at 850nm sits past the visible band, so the near-infrared-only setting looks close to dark while it runs. What pulse rates will it run? + Up to 10,000 Hz, the same ceiling as BioLight's much larger ReStore panel. BioLight publishes the floor of that range two ways on the same page, as 0 Hz in their description text and 1 Hz in their specification block. They name no preset frequencies and publish no recommended setting, and we are not going to invent one. How is it different from the ReStore? + Size and array, not controls. The ReCharge is 11.3 in. by 8.3 in. with 60 LEDs drawing 136W through two fans, at 8 lbs. The ReStore is 36 in. by 12 in. with 300 LEDs drawing 476W through eight fans, at 18 lbs, and ships with a floor stand and a door hanging kit. Both carry the same touchscreen, the same 1 to 100% brightness, the same 10,000 Hz pulse ceiling and the same 30 degree lens. What power does it need? + 136W on 100-240VAC at 50/60Hz, which BioLight states covers both US and Canadian supply and international supply. Two cooling fans move heat off the array. LED lifespan is published at 100,000 hours. What does BioLight publish for flicker and EMF? + Light flicker is given as 1.2% modulation at 60Hz. EMF emission is given as standard magnetic 0.3 mG, standard electric 30 V/m, weighted magnetic 0.3 mG, weighted electric 24 V/m and RF 0.5 mW/m2. No measurement distance, laboratory name or report number is published alongside those readings. How long should a session be? + BioLight suggests starting at 5 to 10 minutes per area and building toward 10 to 15 minutes as tolerated, used 3 to 5 times per week or daily. That guidance is BioLight's own. The programmable timer runs the clock and shuts the panel off at the end. What is BioLight's Dual LED technology? + BioLight's own name for the emitter used here and in the ReStore, which they describe as patent-pending and as letting each individual LED produce both wavelengths. BioLight publishes no patent number, application number, filing date or jurisdiction for it, so the patent-pending description belongs to them and is attributed to them here. It is not a claim we make on our own account. What is the warranty, and how long is delivery? + BioLight publishes a 3 year warranty, a 60 day return period and a 100,000 hour LED lifespan. Orders ship direct from BioLight's manufacturer and they ask buyers to allow roughly 3 to 4 weeks for delivery.
