When it comes to full body LED light therapy, the market is proliferated with a wide spectrum of product specifications and options.
Some cheaper models on the market today still use old style fluorescent tubes that are currently being (and should by now have been) phased out (thanks to the growing disapproval of government agencies and groups that are concerned with environmental protection).
The reason they do this is because many of them are simply converted tanning beds that have been retrofitted with red fluorescent tubes.
Some of these devices even combine the harmful UV tanning wavelengths with red light wavelengths and call themselves “hybrid tanning” or “hybrid sunbeds”.
While they may look similar at first glance, they are completely different methods of producing light. Fluorescent lamps work by ionising inert gas (mercury vapour) while LEDs are a solid state technology.
There are significant disadvantages associated with using fluorescent lights :
There has been concern about salon owners removing the UV-emitting tanning lamps from sun beds with red light and replacing them with red lamps. In US, the FDA has ruled that “unless and until such device receives 510(k) clearance or premarket approval from FDA, it would be an adulterated and misbranded device that may not be marketed for sale.” [1]
In addition, even when some of these non-purpose-built retrofitted tanning beds have been replaced with LEDs, they are not engineered with the proper cooling and calibration of the red light sources.

Introduction As red light therapy continues to gain adoption within Australian aesthetic and medical practices, clinicians are frequently asked to clarify its mechanisms and safety profile. One common question raised during device evaluation is: do you tan in a red light therapy bed, and more specifically, do red light therapy
Muscle recovery has become an increasingly important focus for clinics supporting athletes, active patients and individuals managing chronic muscular fatigue. As interest in light-based modalities grows, many practitioners are now evaluating red light therapy for muscle recovery and asking the essential question: Does red light therapy work for muscle recovery
