Is 940nm actually useful? Here is what our data shows

Hi there,

The 940nm wavelength has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the red light therapy community lately. Some people question whether it’s truly effective, while others wonder why certain brands include it at all. We wanted to address this topic openly and share what we actually know based on our testing and product design.

First, let’s be clear about the science. Most research on near-infrared light has focused on 810nm and 850nm because they have shown strong results for deeper tissue penetration and cellular energy production. The 940nm wavelength has less clinical data behind it, which is why some people view it with skepticism. That concern is valid.

At Bestqool, we don’t claim that 940nm is superior to 850nm or that it works miracles on its own. Instead, we designed our BQ60Pro with a full spectrum approach. It combines six wavelengths: 630nm, 660nm, and 680nm for surface level benefits, plus 810nm, 850nm, and 940nm for deeper penetration. The idea is simple. Different wavelengths reach different depths in the body, so using a broader range may offer more complete support for skin health, muscle recovery, and overall wellness.

Here is what our actual data shows:

-All wavelengths in the BQ60Pro, including 940nm, have been measured and verified through third party testing.

-The panel delivers consistent irradiance across the spectrum, with real world performance matching our published specs.

-We focus on the combination of wavelengths rather than relying on any single one. This multi wavelength strategy is what we believe makes the biggest difference for most users.

We understand that not everyone agrees on the value of 940nm. Some prefer sticking strictly to 850nm, and that’s completely fine. Our goal is not to convince everyone that 940nm is essential, but to be transparent about why we include it and what the actual performance looks like.

If you have questions about the wavelengths, our testing process, or how the BQ60Pro compares to other panels, feel free to ask in the comments. We’re happy to share more details or even specific test reports where available.

Thanks for keeping the conversation open and honest. We appreciate everyone who takes the time to research and ask good questions.

Best,

The Bestqool Team
