The Glow is your portable source of near infrared therapy, using the same FireLight® Bulb found in our saunas—just in a more flexible, everyday format. It’s ideal for targeted relief, skin rejuvenation, or reducing screen fatigue by blocking blue light while you work.

Many people use it during meditation, breathwork, or yoga to deepen focus and relaxation. Others travel with it to reset their circadian rhythm or wind down with its warm, flicker-free glow instead of harsh LEDs. It provides gentle heat—not enough to make you sweat, but just enough to shift your state.

Think of it as your daily dose of healing light—no mask, no noise, just real results.

For targeted therapy on the face or throat, keep sessions to 5–10 minutes max. For other areas of the body, you can use the Glow for up to an hour—moving it from spot to spot without needing breaks in between. Many people do short sessions up to 10 times a day. Start slowly and let your comfort guide you.

When using on the head or neck
Limit sessions to 10 minutes, keeping the Glow 12–40 inches away. Most people find ~15 inches ideal. If you're doing multiple sessions in a day, take at least an hour break in between.

What if I’m using it as ambient light? Totally different story. When the Glow isn’t pointed directly at your body—like when it’s angled upward or away—it can stay on much longer. Many people keep it on all day at their desk, during yoga or meditation, or even as a gentle nightlight. As long as it’s used for ambience, you’re free to enjoy the glow as long as you like.

About 5¢ per hour—less than the cost of a text you regret sending, or a single organic almond. Based on average U.S. energy rates, it’s one of the most affordable wellness rituals you can power up daily.

Both deliver red and near-infrared light—but the quality, spectrum, and experience are completely different.

Incandescent (like our FireLight® Bulb):
Incandescent bulbs emit broad-spectrum, polychromatic light—multiple healing wavelengths with natural heat, spanning 550–3000+ nm and containing no UV. This includes visible red, full near-infrared (700–1500nm), mid-infrared (1500–3000nm), and even some far-infrared.

Our FireLight® Bulbs are engineered for 2–4x the irradiance in the photobiomodulation range (600–1000nm) compared to a typical heat lamp, with extra radiant thermal output in the deeper NIR band (1000–1500nm). That means more effective light therapy—plus the added healing power of heat.

LEDs:
LEDs use multiple small diodes that each emit a narrow, monochromatic wavelength. You don’t get the full near-infrared spectrum, and you don’t get any heat—which is critical for deep, systemic benefits like circulation, detox, and mitochondrial support.

They also flicker, even when your eyes can’t detect it. That flicker has been shown to create low-level stress on the nervous system. Our FireLight® Bulbs are naturally flicker-free.

And while LEDs may last a long time, they dim gradually—losing power and therapeutic effect over time. FireLight® Bulbs stay strong until the end, typically lasting 5–10 years before cleanly burning out.

Bottom line:
The most important factors in light therapy are irradiance, spectrum, and fluence (the total therapeutic dose). Incandescents deliver more light, over more wavelengths, at a higher intensity—backed by the body’s natural affinity for warmth.

LEDs may be everywhere—but for real, full-spectrum healing? Incandescent wins every time.

Most red light devices use LEDs. The Glow doesn’t. It’s powered by our proprietary FireLight® Bulb—an incandescent, full-spectrum light source that emits visible red, near infrared, and mid-infrared light, along with gentle heat. No flicker. No EMFs. No harsh electronics or gimmicky masks. Just natural, biologically aligned light from a single, soothing source—handcrafted in the USA.

You can. But for the strongest effect, we recommend direct exposure to bare skin. Thin, natural fabrics like cotton or bamboo may allow some light through, but synthetic fabrics tend to block more. If you're using the Glow as ambient light, of course, wear whatever makes you feel good.

Yes—with awareness. The Glow doesn’t emit UV or dangerous radiation, and it’s perfectly safe to use in shared spaces. Just avoid pointing it directly at a child’s or pet’s face, and use common sense around heat. Fun fact: many pets love curling up in the warmth of the Glow (just like you do).

Absolutely. The Glow is compact, lightweight, and built for life on the move. Whether you're resetting your circadian rhythm, winding down in a hotel room full of junk light, or keeping your wellness routine steady on the road—it fits right in.

We recommend adding the Glow Soft Case for extra protection. Just make sure the bulb has time to cool before packing, and you're good to glow.

The Glow delivers targeted light and heat therapy, perfect for daily use—at your desk, in the evening, or on the go. It’s your portable, anytime dose of healing light. Our saunas offer full-body immersion: deeper sweat, systemic detox, and whole-being transformation. They’re powerful on their own—but even better together.

The FireLight® Bulb is rated for 5,000 hours and typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on use. When it eventually burns out, replacing it is simple—it screws in just like a standard bulb, no tools needed.

If it burns out within five years, we’ll replace it for free under our warranty. After that, you’ll still get a special replacement price of $95.

Long-lasting, easy to replace, and always backed by us.
