Have i bought the wrong redlight lamp?

[Deusmaximus]

I just bought this Philips HP-3643 InfraCare (650 Watt) Infrared Lamp from ebay. I have now read the manual, and there is written that the lamp should only be used for muscles and not the face.

I think the lamp has 700 to 3.000nm. Is this a wrong lamp for collagen/anti aging on the face, and could possibly do harm to my face?

How much?

From what I know 625nm to 700nm is good for the face.
But red light may be harmful for the eyes, so wear some kind of protection for them.

It's the wrong one, I did the same mistake.

Be careful, you will get superficial burns within a few days of this.

Damn, why? Wrong wavelength?

Damn, why? Wrong wavelength?

I researched into it but forgot, wavelength or wattage or something. You'll notice how it feels hot but ask anyone with a juve or legit red lamp and they don't heat you up. These are for sore muscles/ joints etc and even the booklet says keep atleast 80-100 cm away. I

they are not led. they give out a lot of heat in addition to the light hence the high power consumption

So i should sell my lamp, and not use it?

I asked a guy on r/redlighttherapy, why you and @dmx told me the lamp is not good for facial skin.
His answer:

"because the lamp that you got is an infrared heat lamp that targets muscles and joint pain and even lung congestion.

But if you can put it at 12 to 24 inches away from your face and use it for only 15 minutes, you still get the 650 nm and 850 nm for your face

of course if you put your face too near you will feel a burning sensation. You just have to practice distancing if you are going to use it for the face.

Of course, the best for the face would be the infrared LED which does not emit heat. The best is Infrared LED Face mask and neck

I do not have an infrared LED face mask so instead, i use my infrared reptile heat lamp which just costs $12 for my face but i put it about 12 inches distance from my face since if it is too near it will burn."

I think a simple color changing LED bulb like the philips Hue will work. Read my thread:
