Why do your lights not use dual chips?Updated 17 days ago

We believe that dual chip LEDs are marketing gimmick. Some companies claim that their panels use dual-chip LED bulbs. On the surface, this looks like higher light output, but again, it is a false claim. No medical-grade LED devices contain dual-chip bulbs.

There are dual-chip LED bulbs that are the same size as the single-chip bulbs used in LED light therapy devices; however, they use two very small chips side by side. Dual-chip bulbs do not deliver more light energy output because their summed power is still less than a larger, single chip LED.  

There is no benefit, but there are disadvantages to dual-chip bulbs, including less reliability. The close proximity of the chips can lead to burnout. Dual-chip LEDs are capable of delivering two separate wavelengths simultaneously (such as 660nm and 850nm). But because you’re only getting a very small amount of each wavelength due to the extra small chips, this is basically like using an underpowered handheld device.
