What's EMF?

What’s EMF

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting.

EMFs are typically grouped into one of two categories by their frequency:

· Non-ionizing: low-level radiation which is generally perceived as harmless to humans

· Ionizing: high-level radiation which has the potential for cellular and DNA damage

Does the red light therapy device emit EMF radiation?

Yes, ed light therapy devices emit Non-ionizing radiation. 

Can EMF be harmful to my health?

Most EMF research focused on extremely low frequency exposures stemming from conventional power sources, such as power lines, electrical substations, or home appliances. Some studies showed a possible link between EMF field strength and an increased risk for childhood Leukemia, their findings indicated that such an association was weak. The few studies that have been conducted on adults show no evidence of a link between EMF exposure and adult cancers, such as leukemia, brain cancer, and breast cancer.

Now, in the age of cellular telephones, wireless routers, and Internet of things, including red lighte therapy devices, all these use EMF, additional research is needed on practical ways to reduce exposures to EMFs.

Do all red light therapy devices produce the same level of EMF?

No, EMF emissions can differ significantly among devices, influenced by the power consumption, product design, shielding, component choose and quality, use age, operating frequency, distance from the user, manufacturing standards, operational modes, grounding, and adherence to regulatory standards etc. 

Sunsred red light therapy panels are certified to emit only 0.05uT @ 6", which is a low and good value in this filed.

How does the EMF from red light therapy compare to other common sources of EMF?

Most quality red light therapy devices emit EMF levels akin to or even lesser than regular household electronics, such as cell phones or Wi-Fi routers.

Does the intensity of red light therapy correlate with EMF emissions?

Not always. The light's intensity and EMF emissions are driven by distinct aspects of a device. Higher intensity doesn't necessarily mean more EMF.

What ensure safety of red light therapy devices concerning EMF?

Reliable manufacturers undergo rigorous EMF testing, meeting stringent safety standards. When in the market for a device, CE /RoHS certifications and third-party testing results are crucial indicators of safety.
