> You gotta dig into supplement 1 to find the treatment: "[...] Light source output power: 2.0mW±0.5mW; At a distance of 100mm: 1.07-1.42mw"
Elsewhere it said class 2, which would be < 1 mW. A laser pointer.

Taking the leap of faith and using light therapy to the point that I have light spots for a few minutes after treatment as described in the study is a leap of faith that I'm afraid may be beyond me.
That's a lot more power. I would avoid anything outside of the visible range and lasers with too much power. For those natural self protection mechanism probably only kicks in when its too late.
