I've heard about red light therapy but products designed for that purpose are very pricey. Could this torch work on the red setting?

We purchased to replace a previous flashlight that was just a contortionist flashlight, without the red flashing light feature. Unfortunately, I don't know what you are referring to as to therapy...

rlionheart is correct. However, I would recommend that you add an additional piece to your kit as I have done and stop at any local hardward store to purchase a light reflector Google "Optical Light Reflector." This will help with your light control when using a higher wattage bulb. It will also reflect the heat produced from the bulb away from your subject and allow for greater control of your light.

Light quite harsh even on low, red should be better. Made more for outdoor open space area. You would see well, just not a mood setter

I really don't think one would light much. We use it to light a aluminum Christmas tree works well, but not great. would work well as a disco light color changer in a multi-light set-up, I believe.

As far as I know, it looks like it takes a VERY specific halogen bulb. I don't even know if I'll be able to find a replacement halogen bulb for it when it burns out. It might be able to take an LED, but I can't advise you on whether that would be possible. However, given the limited space for a replacement bulb, your results with an LED bulb would likely be way, way too dull to effectively serve as a spotlight. You can set this light to turn off in just 5 seconds and turn down the sensitivity if it is your electrical bill that concerns you. I have it set like that and have not noticed much difference in my bill. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge can reply. Good luck

I would not buy this for that purpose, no. It is much smaller than it appears and it's use as a normal flashlight (or torch as they say in the UK) is dubious at best.

I suppose it can work if you have a strong enough umbrella holder and if you attach three spedlites together to create a more even lighting, but it was designed for a moonlight strobe. So,may not be optimal but it can work. If you intend on using only one speedlite I don't think it would work effectively since its design doesn't lend itself to a light source of that size and output ability. That's my two cents.

Seems to me you'd want more than 45 watts. (I actually thought torches were used for stained glass, until I started shopping for a soldering iron.)

No. The instructions warn that it will start a fire. I got a beautiful torchiere from Verilux that only uses 70 watts of energy with an LED lamp that puts out 300 watts of light--it's awesome!

There's only red led lights and they are the only things that seemed to work on mine so I had to send it back. I can't really compare it to anything because it didn't work. Which is what most of the product reviews say.

No, I don't think it would work for that. You could try, but I think it would be too hard on the light to have it on for too many hours at a time.

Doubtful. It's too bright. I'd recommend either an led blacklight. Or tying off the patients arm extremely tight heheh

I would call the customer service line at Tria. They are very helpful if you have questions. I believe the answer is definitely yes. It will do what more powerful lasers do but over a longer period of time. I am very pleased so far and have been using mine for about 8 weeks.

Changing LED is not practical. My torches are several seasons old and still going strong. Have replaced batteries once.

Yes indeed Kevin. Any light source with enough intensity can be used, however the light intensity is key for most effectiveness.If charging from a regular say.. Lamp bulb, I would recommend plugging into an electrical socket and charging via outlet and cable at that point. I hope this was helpful!

There's a couple of problems with this idea, unfortunately. For one thing, this particular light has a halogen bulb, and has a duty cycle of 10 minutes on/10 minutes off to prevent overheating. It's not automatic, so you'd need two to keep one on at all times, and also, you'd need some kind of timed outlet device to alternate them. In addition, the duty cycle might be even shorter near a tree on the ground because of the decreased airflow. I used a light similar to this one at a party and had it sit on a table, and I smelled smoke only halfway into its duty cycle. It didn't actually flame up, but these do get really hot. Another thing, unless the tree is very skinny and bare, I doubt the light would be visible past the bottom. I've never used tinsel, but I don't know if the light would go anywhere to make it noticeable. It wouldn't be the same effect as traditional lights in the tree. If you still want to try, I'd at least recommend you search for an LED light; those run cool and the bulbs last for a much longer time.

You need to purchase 2 or 3 batteries, as suggested by "often bought together." There are various sections of the body you can add or take out to make it work with 2 or 3.I only got 2, and the torch does not come anywhere close to the rated brightness - in fact it is rather dim. I ordered more of the batteries. Hopefully adding the third will bet the brightness up.
