If you can believe hot tubs and saunas are beneficial, or at the very least enjoyable, you should be able to justify red light “therapy.”

I have five high wattage panels I got from eBay. At around 1500w total, it’s basically an infrared sauna. I know there are theoretical health benefits, but if I’m being honest, at this point I just really like the way it feels to do my morning stretches in front of them.

Could you link to the panels you bought or similar ones?

It was several years ago, and the manufacturer no longer sells on eBay under the same account. It looks like they’re still in business though: https://www.sgrowled.com/product-category/led-red-therapy-li...

These were like half the price of western branded drop shipped versions, and a tenth the price of the ones they peddle to rich people. They are nothing like the few watt toys health and beauty companies sell. These put out some serious power.
