Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 Hi Duncan, I'm not a techie at all. Can you explain something? In the UL series, which is the least expensive of the lasers on this page, there are several listed with a frequency of 780. That refers to the nanometers, right? Then there are 4 listed at a price of $49. They differ as to voltage, the lowest being 3 to 5 volts, and the highest being 9 to 12 volts. Would there be a difference in terms of the healing application? The only thing that's been discussed here is the nanometer number. Also, in the picture the laser has a little " tail. " But it doesn't appear to plug into anything, so there'd be a battery? Or are you supposed to have some separate equipment that it plugs into in order to use it? I've checked out the office equipment ones that are used as pointers in presentations, through Staples and Radio Shack. They run in the 660 nanometer range and are $20 to $40. Would the ones on this link be much stronger? And since you say " check out the infrareds " are you implying that those are the better ones for a healing application? Sorry--I'm sure technical people will recognize my level of ignorance by these questions. Thanks. Peggy >>Here's a link you'll like - these industrial lasers are fairly inexpensive, near the correct frequency and power to do some good, and anyway are a LOT better than the LEDS. Check out the infrareds!! You can even pulse some of them with computer control. http://www.worldstartech.com/ ciao Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 Those laser modules are only the part that lights. You have to supply the power (battery, wall wart), and signal if you want a pulsing unit. The input voltage is a convenience. 660 is seen as 'redder' , 635 as 'brighter' because of our eyes' sensitivity to different wavelengths. The longer wavelengths do have more infrared healing potential, but color therapists prefer specific wavelengths for specific therapies. The physical healing radiations are mainly between 904 (UV) and 650 (deep red) nm. Although the low power lasers are more powerful than LEDs, the most power you can afford will bring better results. So the UH (high-output) series is better, but still only 1/5 to 1/10 as powerful as a profesional laser. These are unrestricted unlike the more powerful units. ciao Duncan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
