"There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." Galatian 3:28

"avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless." Titus 3:9

"... not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies that promote speculations rather than the divine training that is known by faith. But the aim of such instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith. Some people have deviated from these and turned to meaningless talk, desiring to be teachers of the law without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions." 1 Timothy 1:4

"whoever hates a brother or sister is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has brought on blindness." 1 John 2:11

"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35

That's why I included and tested the bulbs recommended by Dan Wich, the 200-watt PS30 incandescent, but I noticed feeling subjectively better with the R40 red bulb, so mostly stuck with that. Perhaps the extra heat given by the R40 was good for me during the winters, adding to the perceived benefit over the clear PS30.

Ray recommended 250–500 watt heat lamps—up to 3 at once in the winter—as an effective source of red light. Many on the old forum, including myself, use the Philips 250 Watts R40 Brooder Incandescent Heat Bulb housed in a Bayco brooder clamp.

Dan Wich from toxinless.com & selftestable.com uses the PLT 200PS30 (200 Watts) bulbs, which I also own. This setup—with either bulb—I have used since 2016.

Recently, med student/tiktok influencer Eviba Carter tested a 250-watt chicken bulb, based on its ability to irradiate 20 J/cm^2 (his measure for minimal therapeutic dose). He calculated that these bulbs take over 55 hours to give off 20 J/cm^2, and claims the expensive red light therapy devices produce "100 times as much red light while using only half the power; with this, at 1 foot away, I'd get [that] dose in 33 minutes."

The TikTok: TESTED cheap chicken bulb for red light therapy

What do you think? Is this methodology sound; missing anything? Are there benefits to the chicken heat lamps he is neglecting? Is his standard for determining therapeutic dose valid? Or should we move away from the economic option and opt for the investment into targeted red light devices?
