Most people tolerate red LED light well, but results depend on dose and device quality, and you should protect your eyes. Red LED light is common now: face masks, panels, handheld wands, “sleep-friendly” bulbs. A lot of the chatter mixes two different things. One is red lighting for a room. The other is targeted red
