Red Light Therapy Irradiance Explained

What irradiance measures and why a larger number is not automatically better.

Irradiance describes power reaching an area.

Measurement context matters

For noncontact devices, the measurement can change with distance. A number without a stated measurement method or distance can be difficult to compare.

Dose also involves time

Exposure depends on more than power alone. Session duration is part of the picture.
