Constant back orders on the GE Dichromatic lights forced us to look for a new solution for acne light therapy around 2005.

We chose enLux LED because of their superior product, excellent service, and their commitment to the planet.

enLux LEDs are a good choice for many light and color therapy applications because they are affordable, easy to use, and they last about forever.

Where to get enLux LEDs?

The best place to get enLux LEDs now is directly from enLux. To order, visit their online catalog, and enter the part number.  If you have any trouble, give them a call, they have great service.

In the past these lights came in various fin colors, including red and blue. Now they are only available in black and white fins.

How to Use enLux LEDs for Light and Color Therapy (General Guidelines)

enLux LEDs can be used in place of more expensive LED light therapy products for most applications where the same wavelength or wavelength range is called for.  For specific treatments, follow these guidelines first, then use the recommended treatment procedure for the LED product you are replacing.

1. These lights are very bright.  Always wear protective eye wear when using them, especially when using them on your face.  Keep your eyes closed even with the eye protection on, unless they’re block out glasses.

2. Use them a minimum of 6″ from your skin. enLux LEDs are much more intense than regular LEDs.  The treatment distance can be from 6″- 24″ away from your skin or more depending on they type of therapy you’re doing.  Many products on the market will direct you to use their light right against your skin.  With these lights, 6″ is as close as you should get.  Too much intensity is not usually good when it comes to light therapy.  There would be no danger in using them closer, just the possibility of rendering your therapy ineffective or worsening the condition you are trying to treat.
