Re: More info on 940 nm LED

[Guest guest]

Are you saying there is a range of wavelengths we can use , or

should we stick with nasa's wavelength ???

For those with pain and insurance, I would recommend that you check out the link

below that Steve posted recently. This is a LED product covered by insurance.
