In contrast to natural sunlight the technically synthesized BIOPTRON Light provides light therapy with controllable and therefore reproducible parameters.

The BLTS is a medical device technology based on a unique light therapy concept. It can be used for prophylactic treatments, therapy and rehabilitation in a variety of medical areas. More than 15 years of experience and ongoing scientific and clinical research in a variety of applications are providing the foundation of this therapy.

Every device includes a detailed Operating Instruction booklet. Please read it carefully and follow the application instructions given therein.

The wavelength of BIOPTRON Light is 480 - 3400 nm - hence it is a combination of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum and near infrared light.

Sunlight is a mixture of seven different colors, whereas Laser light is always of one single color (monochromatic). Sunlight is disorderly whereas laser beam is very orderly (coherent). Sunlight is not parallel whereas laser light runs parallel (collimated). The healing properties of Laser beam come from these differences.

Natural sunlight is a good healer for many people with psoriasis, but there are some who do not respond and some who are made worse. Sunlight consists of several different types of light across a spectrum ranging from infra-red, through visible light, to ultraviolet (UV). It is the ultra-violet part that can help in treating psoriasis.

BIOPTRON AG has local distributors in more than 50 countries worldwide (Eastern and Western Europe; Asia; Oceania; Northern, Southern and Central America; Southern Africa). If you need further details for your nearest dealer, our Customer Service Team will be able to help.

Yes. They are approved as medical devices according to 93/42/EEC (the EEC-directive competent for Medical Products). This is the responsible and official European directive for all medical products, which are produced and sold in the EEC.

BLT is being used by medical professionals as well as by end-users. There are three different types of devices available in order to assure the best-fitting solution for every individual need - for the medical professionals as well as for the private home-users.

For leg ulcers, for decubitus (pressure sores), for burns and for wound healing after operations and after traumas (injuries).

In connection with treating medical indications, it is generally recommended to consult a physician before using BLT in order to receive professional advise whether this treatment is recommendable or whether other medical treatment is necessary.

No. The BLT can be applied any time of day. Preferably while you have time to relax and can thus enjoy its biostimulative effect. During the period of treatment regular use is recommended.

According to 3rd party research, blue light between 405-420nm kills the bacteria while red light in between 655nm-665nm influences the growth of new cells. This is designed to destroy acne and repair cells which were damaged by the inflammation and bacteria. Some customers have requested special all red Acnelamp units to treat Acne Rosacea. Other customers have used it to reduce facial wrinkles. Some customers even claim to have used red light to treat cuts and wounds.

Natural sunlight varies considerably according to the time of day, season and proximity to the equator. UVB levels in the early morning are low as these wavelengths bounce of the earth's atmosphere, gradually increasing to a peak that can be as high as 10% by mid-day.

You will get more out of a 400w light than a 600/1000 since the 400w light can be one inch from your plant growing tips, instead of 10-15" with a 600/1000w bulb. The reason beight with a 400w light the glass is cool to the touch, and the closer the light it's exponential how much brighter the bulb actually is. Trust us, we'd love to offer a 600 or 1000w system since it would be higher sale prices, but realistically it's not worthwhile, and we want you to be happy and have success.

Many patients who have diabetic retinopathy have difficulty adjusting quickly between bright light and dim light, or shadow. It may be difficult to adjust when driving from bright sunlight into a dark tunnel, or reading the menu in a dark restaurant when one has just come in and bright sunlight. This difficulty can be overcome somewhat by using clip-on sunglasses over regular glasses.

Yes, since Sound Stripes™ uses an optical code reader, there are some light conditions that can make it difficult to accurately read a label. If possible, stand between the bright light and the recorder when pressing the Play or Record buttons. When reading a label that is not yet adhered into a book, be sure to keep the label and code reader aimed away from the light source.

Plastic lumber is made out of recycled plastic (typically 1 gallon milk jugs). When the plastic is re-melted, a coloring agent is added to the boards which colors it all the way through. Because of this process, sunlight is unable to fade or affect plastic lumber in any way.
