How red light therapy beds
are made.
Red Light Wellness makes its red light therapy beds in St. Louis, Missouri. A red light therapy bed emits red and near-infrared light through hundreds of LEDs. We build each bed on forty years of light and wavelength engineering. Here is how one gets made, stage by stage.
40
Years of engineering
Forty years of engineering goes into every bed. Red Light Wellness builds on four decades of light and wavelength engineering. That depth separates a medical-grade bed from a consumer panel. It shows up in the LEDs we select, the 660nm and 850nm wavelengths we tune, and the output every bed holds before it ships.
Why the build matters to your practice
A bed that fails on the floor takes the day's schedule with it.
You are adding red light therapy to a clinic, a med spa, or a studio. The bed has to run all day, session after session, without drifting or dropping out. A cheap overseas bed you cannot verify becomes your risk, not the factory's. So before you buy, look at how the bed is actually made. Every step below is built to keep your bed working and your schedule full. When you want to see it in person, the factory tour walks the floor where it happens.

Wavelength tuning
660nm red and 850nm near-infrared
Each bed combines two wavelengths of light. It uses 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light. Red light at 660nm targets the skin and surface tissue. Near-infrared light at 850nm penetrates deeper into muscle and joints. Photobiomodulation describes how these wavelengths stimulate cells.

Frame & housing
Built for a commercial floor
We build each bed on a powder-coated steel frame. The steel frame carries continuous-duty use in a clinic or studio. Service-friendly housings let a technician maintain the bed quickly. Commercial-grade construction keeps the bed running all day, every day.

Assembly
Built in-house, in an FDA-registered facility
Red Light Wellness assembles every bed in-house. The assembly happens in an FDA-registered facility in St. Louis, Missouri. In-house assembly keeps the build under one roof, not on a contract line. You can walk that facility yourself on the factory tour.

Burn-in & output testing
Every bed measured
Each bed runs a burn-in cycle before it ships. Burn-in surfaces early component failures inside the facility, not on a clinic floor. We then measure irradiance and light uniformity on every bed. A bed that drifts outside its output target does not ship. A bed that leaves here works on day one, so your first session is not a service call.

Safety & sign-off
Checked, then cleared
Red Light Wellness builds to medical-grade and commercial-grade standards. Every bed is a Class II medical device, registered with the FDA. The beds emit red and near-infrared light, not UV light. A named inspector checks each bed for electrical safety before sign-off.

LED selection
The LEDs set the ceiling
We select medical-grade LEDs for every bed. We grade LED chips for consistent output across the whole array. Consistent chips keep irradiance even from head to foot. Uneven LEDs create hot spots and weak spots, so we screen them out early. Even output means every client gets the same session, the first time and the thousandth.
Build standards
What "commercial-grade" actually commits to.
Cumulative dose drives results. Skipping days slows progress. The protocol below is what works — straightforward, daily, and built around the cat's behavior rather than against it.
STANDARD / 01
Commercial-grade
We build each bed for continuous-duty use. The powder-coated steel frame and graded components are specified for all-day operation, not occasional home use.
STANDARD / 02
Medical-grade
Every bed is a Class II medical device, registered with the FDA. We build to medical-grade standards in an FDA-registered facility. The standard holds across every bed, not just the demo.
STANDARD / 03
Tested, not assumed
We measure irradiance and light uniformity on every bed. A bed that misses its output target does not ship. We rework it or reject it.
How red light therapy beds are made: common questions.
-
Each bed uses 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light. Red light at 660nm treats the skin surface. Near-infrared light at 850nm reaches deeper muscle and joints.
-
We run a burn-in cycle on every bed. We then measure irradiance and light uniformity. A bed that misses its output target does not ship.
-
Yes. Red Light Wellness designs and builds its red light therapy beds in an FDA-registered facility in St. Louis, Missouri. You can see the facility on the factory tour.
-
Each bed uses a powder-coated steel frame and service-friendly housings. The frame is built for continuous commercial use, all day, every day.
-
Red Light Wellness has four decades of roots in light and wavelength engineering. That experience informs LED selection, wavelength tuning, and output tolerances today.
