RubyLuxNIR-A Near Infrared Bulb Grade A (2 Pack)

Excellent product. Good value and I love the warm of the heat. I usually this light instead of a noisy heater because it keeps me warm while meditation and practicing yoga. It's a soothing and relaxing light for the evening. Plus, there is no noise or EMF pollution. Lastly, it may increase melatonin and will help you with a good night sleep! Highly recommend it!

*Scroll to 3rd paragraph to read about pain relief*I've been battling cancer for 2.5 years. There's 6 tumors, one wrapped around a blood vessel, pressing against the nerves behind my spine, causing tremendous pain. It's the kind of pain that's had me on opioids like morphine for 6 months going on 7. I finally got tired of the pain and went to "Hope4Cancer" clinic in Tijuana, Mexico for 1 month of treatment (I live in Texas btw). While I was there they had me do a Near Infrared Sauna session every other day. I noticed that their NIR Sauna was way hotter and more effective than mine at home. By hotter I mean it was like an instant furnace upon flipping the switch, and by more effective I mean I sweated waaaay more and I actually had a lot of pain relief within 5-7 minutes of each session. I've had a NIR Sauna for 2 years but haven't had the kind of pain relief that Hope4Cancer's sauna gave me. My sauna had x8 150-watt bulbs; Hope4Cancer had x6 250-watt bulbs. So while I was there I did some research on the best near infrared bulbs on Amazon and I ended up trusting RubyLux over all other brands. There are three statements by RubyLux that helped me make the decision to go with these bulbs: "emits NO far infrared rays[.] . . . free of toxic mercury, Teflon and fluorinated fumes[.] . . . [and] Each bulb is inspected, guaranteed and engineer-certified." I had to drop out of college to battle cancer 2.5 years ago so I forget how to correctly quote like that^ but I hope I did it right. So first impression is that RubyLux is specifically concerned about making sure we know that there is absolutely NO far infrared rays, which is very important for a cancer patient like me needing very specific treatment. The other two things (free of toxic stuff and each bulb inspected and certified) sealed the deal.When the bulbs came in I replaced 8 of my 150-watt bulbs with 5 RubyLux 250-watt bulbs. Let me tell you-- I was in awe when I turned on the sauna. It was an instant furnace just like at Hope4Cancer, but my sauna is a little smaller than theirs so mine gets even hotter, quicker! Normally I've been able to handle 30 minute sessions with x8 150-watt bulbs, but with x5 250-watt bulbs I was only able to tolerate 10 minutes on my first session. It took me 4 sessions to be able to work my way up to being in there for 20 minutes and really, I don't think I'm going to go up to 30 minutes again because I simply don't need to with how effective these bulbs are.I have pain starting in my spine around T1-T2 and then it branches out to the left into my left rhomboid and also wraps around my neck where I have other tumors that are swollen up. I'll give you an example of what happened this morning. I'm trying to taper off of Morphine but not able to do so as quick as I'd like because this morning I woke up in a lot of pain that I don't normally have, and I'm assuming it's because I dropped in dose of morphine. So anyway, I'm in a lot of pain and I go straight to my sauna at 6AM. I get in, meditate on Jesus and pray for Him to bless this treatment, and within 5 minutes I'm thanking Jesus for pain relief. I could feel a warm soothing sensation penetrating deep through my muscles and onto the tumors causing the pain. It's like I could feel the tumors relaxing and changing from screaming to humming (idk if that makes sense). Imagine (sound wise) going from banging on a desk to rubbing a desk. That's like what happened my neck/spine; it went from screaming to soothing. After 10 minutes I was just loving it; I really wish I could stay in there all day long because of how much pain relief I had. But of course, after 20 minutes I had to get out and shower, and now it's been 1.5 hours and I'm still having pain relief. Well, I took a morphine lol, but still I can feel the after effects of the sauna and the morphine doesn't cause this.So if anyone is battling cancer and needs pain relief, you have my recommendation (I'm a cancer patient in pain) for RubyLux.

This little magic light bulb has helped me with everything from acne and pimples, to back pain, to facial rejuvenation. These lights are intense so make sure you get some eye covers. Infrared and Near IR light penetrates up to 1 inch deep within your skin so it's great for muscle and joint soreness after workouts or long days at the office when your back hurts.===== MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES =====http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0061MZ4Q6 Buy this clamp lamp socket with it. This is a 250 watt bulb, so it's very powerful and gets extremely hot. Just hang it about 18 inches away from your skin and it'll feel like a nice warm light.===== YES IT WORKS =====Basically: This is the most healing wavelengths of the sun without the UV damage and wrinkles. It's much cheaper than the LED light therapy and much more powerful. Studies on infrared lights show they increase blood circulation by 400% within a few minutes and the effects last for hours. So your skin and everything the light touches heals much faster than normal.===== HOW QUICK WILL I SEE / FEEL EFFECTS =====The effects you FEEL are immediate after the 1st 15 minute session. The effects you SEE visually on your skin take time to show up, in less than 1 week you'll notice your face is less bony and has more substance. You'll look healthier and more well rested. About 2-4 weeks little fine lights will look like they're starting to vanish. After 4 months a huge difference in wrinkles and fine lines can be seen.Remember the light doesn't heal you, the light encourages your body to heal itself. Every cell in your body has receptors for light and certain wavelengths encourage healing much faster than others.===== IS THIS INCANDESCENT BULB BETTER THAN THE LED VERSIONS?=====YES. I have this rubylux lamp AND a $200 LED light and this RubyLux light makes enormous pimples shrink overnight. People like the LED versions because they are smaller and aren't as hot so you have have their closer to your skin. But they're insanely expensive and people think "you get what you pay for" and end up buying the expensive $200+ LED red light pads. I'd sit under my LED pad for 45 minutes a day and still not get the same results as 15 minutes a day with this Ruby Lux bulb. This bulb wins the cake.===== HOW LONG SHOULD TREATMENTS BE? =====At least 15 minutes. But no more than 3x 15 minutes sessions a day.===== CAN I USE THIS BEFORE BED TIME? =====Yes! I personally use this light right before going to sleep. I mounted mine on a camera stand right over my bed. Red light doesn't wake the body up the way blue light from monitors and electronic devices does. So it's perfect for use literally right before bedtime.===== MUSCLES and WORKOUTS =====My back hurts from non-use and feels stiff if I sleep with my back facing down. After I started using this light on my back I've been able to get through each night sleeping on my back all the way through. 8 hours of non stop sleep is nice. Waking up in the same position I went to sleep in is an incredible feeling. Muscles heal faster after workouts. The 2nd and 3rd day burn is gone. The pain is substantially and noticeably less. Don't think that just because it's a light it can only help your skin. This light can reach 1 inch deep into tissues. Reaching muscles and joints.===== COLLAGEN and FACIAL REJUVENATION =====I use this every night and it plumps the face up nicely in the morning. My face looks consistently well rested and not bony.===== SIDE EFFECTS (some sleepiness) =====Red Light Therapy for decades has shown to NOT have any side effects. Just don't bake under it for hours. From the NASA studies to the clinical studies this has been a proven safe technology. The light increases blood circulation by 400% and your body heals itself very quickly.Sleepiness: You know that feeling when you're out in the sun for a while and it just drains the energy out of you? This happens (especially to folks like me who have low blood pressure) because heat and the sun increase the blood circulating in your skin in order to sweat and cool itself which makes people feel tired. Since this light increases blood circulation by 400% you can feel very drained after 5-10 minutes. So if you're looking for something to put you to sleep this is perfect.===== IF THIS IS SO GREAT, WHY HASN'T IT CAUGHT ON IN THE MAINSTREAM? =====They slowly are, health clubs and gyms have starting including these IR/NIR lamp beds in their tanning bed rooms. It hasn't caught on in popularity because it requires a consistent investment. And you know people are lazy. The average person doesn't want to take 15 minutes out of their day to exercise let alone sit under a lamp for 15 minutes every day with only their thoughts to themselves.Also the lamp is bulky and it needs space to be set up, so clear out your basement.===== And no, I'm not a paid reviewer =====(Bought this at full price on my own because I wanted something more powerful than my $200 red LED pad.)
