Red Light Rising Target Light 2.0 Handheld Red Light Therapy Device

The Target Light 670 offers 670nm red light only for face, eyes, and skin. Mains powered, £119.

The Target Light 2.0 (this device) adds 850nm near infrared for deeper tissue support alongside 660nm red, with three switchable modes. Mains powered, combined irradiance of 137 mW/cm² at 10cm, £239.

The Target Light 3.0 adds a third wavelength (810nm), rechargeable battery, touchscreen controls, and a carry case. Maximum portability and versatility, £289.

The Target Light 4.0 is a professional grade spotlight for clinics and advanced home users with a built in floor stand and significantly higher irradiance.

The recommended distance depends on what you are targeting.

For joints, muscles, and deep tissue support, hold the device directly against the skin or within 0 to 5cm and use near infrared or combined mode for 5 to 7 minutes per area. The closer the device, the higher the irradiance delivered to the tissue.

For face, eyes, and skin care, position the device 20cm or more from your face and use red mode for 5 to 10 minutes. Eyes can be open or gently closed, whichever feels most comfortable.

You can use the Target Light 2.0 once or twice daily. Morning sessions may help set the tone for the day, while evening sessions support your wind down routine.

Every order includes a detailed user guide with session recommendations for different wellness goals.

This is completely normal and your device is working correctly.

The Target Light 2.0 contains two types of LEDs — 14 red LEDs at 660nm and 34 near infrared LEDs at 850nm. The 660nm red LEDs produce a bright, visible red glow. The 850nm near infrared LEDs, however, emit light that is almost entirely invisible to the human eye. They may appear very faintly lit or completely off, but they are delivering near infrared energy into your tissue.

This is not a fault — it is actually a sign that your device is producing genuine near infrared light at the correct wavelength. If the near infrared LEDs appeared bright red, it would suggest they are not emitting true 850nm light.

To confirm your device is working, switch to near infrared only mode in a dark room and look at the device through your phone camera. Most phone cameras can detect near infrared light and will show a faint purple or white glow from the LEDs that appear dark to the naked eye.

Yes, the Target Light 2.0 can be used near the eyes in any of its three modes, but the recommended distance varies.

In red mode (660nm), position the device 20cm or more from your face for 5 to 10 minutes. You can judge the intensity by how bright the light feels on your eyes. If it feels too bright, simply move the device further away. Eyes can be open or gently closed.

In combined mode or near infrared mode, we recommend a minimum distance of 65cm (roughly arms length) from your face. The near infrared wavelength (850nm) is invisible to the eye and delivers significantly more energy than the red LEDs, so it is difficult to gauge the intensity by looking at the device. At arms length the exposure is gentler and more comfortable for the eyes. In this scenario, less is more.

The device has been independently tested for flicker by the UK Lighting Industry Association and confirmed as flicker free, which is particularly important for use near the face and eyes.

If you have specific eye concerns or pre existing conditions, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before starting.

Flicker refers to rapid, often invisible fluctuations in light output caused by the way some LED devices handle electrical current. Even when flicker is not visible to the eye, it can contribute to eye strain, headaches, and general discomfort, particularly during close range use.

The Target Light 2.0 has been independently tested by the UK Lighting Industry Association and confirmed as flicker free, with a flicker percent of just 0.3% and a flicker index of 0.

Many competitors do not publish flicker data at all, so if you are comparing devices, we recommend asking for independently verified flicker test results.

All irradiance figures for the Target Light 2.0 were measured by the Lighting Industry Association (LIA) Laboratory in the UK, an independent accredited testing facility.

The testing was conducted using a Bentham IDR300 double monochromator to standard EN 62471:2008, and the full results are published in LIA Report P10145A. Both the 660nm red and 850nm near infrared wavelengths were measured separately at seven distances from 10cm to 150cm.

We provide individual wavelength readings and combined totals so you can see exactly what the device delivers in each mode at your preferred treatment distance.

Many red light therapy brands publish only a single irradiance figure at one distance, often measured in house. We believe independent, dual wavelength, multi distance testing gives you a more honest and complete picture of what you are buying.

At 15cm treatment distance, the Target Light 2.0 measures 0.2 mG magnetic field and 73 V/m electric field using a TriField TF2 EMF meter.

The magnetic field is excellent at 0.2 mG — well under the Building Biology "no concern" threshold of 1 mG. This is particularly notable because the TL 2.0 has a built in cooling fan, which can sometimes contribute to higher magnetic readings. At treatment distance, the fan has no measurable impact.

The electric field reading of 73 V/m is elevated compared to our panel devices, which is typical of mains powered handheld products where the power supply sits close to the light source. Typical household electric fields range from 1 to 100 V/m in most living spaces, so the TL 2.0 falls within the upper end of normal domestic levels. If you are specifically trying to minimise electric field exposure, the battery operated Target Light 3.0 produces zero detectable EMF across all measurement modes.

It's worth bearing in mind that every electronic device you use in daily life produces some level of EMF — your phone, your TV, your kettle, your fridge, your Bluetooth headphones, your fitness tracker. EMF is a normal part of modern life and virtually impossible to avoid entirely. The additional EMF exposure from a red light therapy session is small in the context of everything else you're already exposed to, and we believe the wellness benefits of consistent use far outweigh any concern about the modest EMF levels involved.
