Beurer IL50 Infrared Heat Lamp Heated Red Light Therapy Lamp for Body, Face, Sinuses, & Skin - Effective Muscle Pain & Cold Relief Treatment by Improving Blood Circulation

You recently tried a Beurer infrared (IR) heat lamp and found it the best Therapy lamp. The Beurer lamp feels like clinical-grade quality, is simple to use, and offers effective real IR heat. Key features include a swivel adjustment, a built-in timer, and automatic cooling after 15 minutes of use. It has adjustable angle hinge; the heat is powerful and easy to feel even from a distance. It includes safety goggles for eye protection. I found it very useful to comfort my back pain. Overall, I am impressed with its quality and performance.

I recently purchased this infrared heat lamp from Beurer and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This lamp is versatile and can be used for multiple purposes, from providing pain relief to relaxing sore muscles after a long day. I have found it particularly helpful in alleviating my neck and shoulder pain.The lamp itself is well-built and easy to use, with a simple on/off switch and an adjustable arm to position the lamp at the desired angle. The infrared technology is effective and provides a soothing warmth that feels gentle on the skin.I have had positive experiences with the Beurer brand in the past, and this product did not disappoint. It exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and quality. I would absolutely recommend this infrared heat lamp to anyone looking for a natural and effective way to relieve pain and promote relaxation.Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely purchase from this brand again in the future.

What a wonderful machine! It's strong and high quality. Very relaxing and I can feel it in the muscles. Well worth the purchase.

Bigger than expected so takes up some room to store. Otherwise really enjoying for aches and pains. Also trying on stretch marks, so far no noticeable changes but have not used that long.

My third product from them and first of their product I bought in USA. Simple but if you want to know what real red light suppose to function like outside the professional clinical/hospital setting, I'd go with this one. I got badly suprised with an different option and their quality, thinking all of them would be good enough. All in all skin improvement or you want to heal something fast and thorough, save your money and time & just go with this one.

I suffer from chronic muscle pain in my back neck and arm from working on computers for long hours. I've bought a lot of gadgets over the years to try to help with this. On my list I have rollers, floss bands, massage device, EMS unit, a lot of ice packs and one of those things that hang you upside down. Recently I went on a 16 mile hike and the next day I was crippled. Had to see the doctor and got a bunch of anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants and a steroid shot to relieve the pain so I could last the day at work. I probably should have just gone home and skipped the shot.I found this device while, once again trying to find something to help heal my body so I didn't have to take all the meds.Pros :*Instantly gets hot when you turn it on.* Has a timer set to 15 mins by default.* Very sturdy* Allows for tilting* heat up muscles before workouts to reduce injuries.* helps circulation in injured area by bringing more blood to the heated area* keeps you warm when it's cold.*relaxes tense musclesCons:*More like caution- extremely hot so be very careful. I burned myself pretty bad when my elbow accidentally brushed against front glass surface after it turned off.I put it on one of those TV dinner tray things and on top of a box so that the height is parallel to my bed. This allows me to lay with my back or neck to it. It has been a huge help for me but the most amazing thing of all, it brought the biggest smile to my teenagers face when she used it on her injured knee.

Warning to SAD sufferers: This lamp produces BY FAR insufficient light.Using my light meter, and a tape measure, I measured:10,000 lux, yes, BUT ONLY at 3 inches from the surface of the lamp.Sitting at my desk, using the measuring tape from my eye to where this lamp might sit to my left or right, or over/behind my computer monitor, I measured 24 inches to be about how far away it would sit.Again, using the light meter, at 24 inches, this lamp produced only about 400 lux.See Wikipedia for a description of "lux": Lux is a measure of the number of lumens of light received per square meter. (1 lux = 1 square meter of area is getting 1 lumen)But at how far away, right? I mean, everyone knows that light is less bright the further away from it you get. Therefore, a lux measurement should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be accompanied by a DISTANCE. Example: "45 lux AT 3 FEET AWAY".Flashlight and light bulb manufacturers get around this problem by simply quoting lumens (which we assume they measure RIGHT AT THE LIGHT BULB). But to know how many *lux* you're getting at your eyeball (which should dang well NOT be at the surface of a light bulb), you can't quote lumens. You have to quote lux PLUS the distance you'd be away from it.Okay, so if we're agreed that lux needs distance always quoted with it:Now let's look at the Amazon description for this product. It only says, "10,000 lux". But where's the distance? Missing.How about the box? The box says, "Light intensity of natural spectrum daylight of approx. 10,000 lux". Super. Still missing the distance, right?How about the manual? I have scanned in a page of the relevant sections of the manual:Section 9. Specifications:Light intensity approx. 10,000 lux. (Still missing the distance, right?)Section 6. To Use8 inches for 1/2 hour per day or 16-24 inches for 2 hours per day, etc.This table is just plain wrong. At least with the unit I got, and the light meter I used.Even at 8 inches (and no way could I stand having this thing only 8 inches from my face), I still measured only 2,250 lux. How long would that take me to get the therapy? I estimate:(10,000 / 2,250) * 30mins = 133mins = 2 hrs 13 mins .. NOT 1/2 hour!Even their suggestion that one could use it for 2 hours at 16-24 is inaccurate, since that's a huge range, and lux will definitely be much lower at 24 inches than at 16.Again, for the unit I purchased from Amazon, I only got the 10,000 lux === AT 3 INCHES ==.As most of you may know, to get true therapy, researchers advise at least 10,000 lux (at your eyeball) for 30 minutes, daily. (Or 5,000 lux for an hour, or 2,500 lux for 2 hours.)How low could we go on the lux, though, just increasing the time?Well, it turns out that researchers also state that the MINIMUM lux needs to be 2,500 for it to begin to take effect. THEREFORE, we can't just work with a weak light (under 2,500 lux at the distance we have it) and add more time. It won't work.So, if 400 lux WERE above the minimum therapeutic level, and I placed this Beurer unit a reasonable 24 inches away on my desk or over my monitor, how long would it take me to get the same therapy from this weaker lamp that I would for 30 minutes using a lamp which was giving me a true 10,000 lux at my eye?(10,000 / 400) * 30mins = 750mins = 12.5hrsWhich, of course, is ridiculous.BUT!!!!! Because of the minimum lux of 2,500 for the 'timer' to even start on therapy, it means that placing this at a reasonable distance of 24" on your desk will give NO therapeutic results -- at least for most people -- according to the researchers, at least.Maybe someone gets some therapy from this -- but, if what the researchers say about minimum lux of 2,500 *for most people* is true, then either the people reporting that they like this light are among the few who can get therapy from only low levels of light, OR there is a placebo effect going on for them.Conversely, even if someone might argue, "Yeah, but I would have this lamp closer than you would," would they *really*? I would challenge them to measure their desk and how they sit when working. I'll bet 24" is *at least* the distance they would have it at.And even if they would have it closer, would they really have it only 3 inches away from their eyes for 30 minutes?Again, to get the minimum lux of 2,500, you'd have to be CLOSER than the 8 inches i measured 2,2500 lux at. Say, 7 inches. Are you REALLY going to hold or position this sucker 7" away from your face for 2 whole hours?It is HUGELY IMPORTANT for any SAD sufferers to invest in a lux meter. As you see from following the link to mine, they are inexpensive here on Amazon -- and there are several other models equally good or better. So we've no reason not to get one, and get confirmation from any device (or even from walking outside) how much light we are truly getting.One more minor point: The little green plastic snap-in stand that props up this lamp from the back: It fell out by itself several times while I was measuring the unit, dropping the lamp onto the table. I did not get confidence in its quality from this. Yet a minor issue compared to the lux.Hope this helps someone. If I'm wrong on any of this stuff, please comment, and I'll correct/fix it.
