REVIEW – I had seen videos and read articles about the benefits of red light therapy over the past year or so, and could not help but be sucked into the idea of getting one of these devices. The claims made about what these things can do just seems so far out there, but the research seems to be there. I can’t say I read every study on them and I don’t know who paid for said studies (that can sometimes be quite telling), but I was still curious. So when the BestQool 4 wavelengths Full-Body Red Light Therapy Pro300 went up for review I had to jump on it.

What is it?
The BestQool 4 Wavelength Full-Body Red Light Therapy Pro300 is a red light therapy panel with 300 bulbs that give off 4 different wavelengths of red light and near infrared light to be used for a plethora of claimed health benefits. With a name like that there isn’t much to tell that it doesn’t tell you right off the bat.

Design and features
I think this is going to be a bit of a different review. I used it. I stood in front of it for about 24 of the 30 days I have had with it. And it turned on and shined red light at me. Outside of that I just don’t know. I’ll get into more of those feelings later.
Upon unboxing the Pro300, the first thing that jumps out at you is the weight. It’s heavy at 18 pounds. It doesn’t sound like a lot but when it’s handled from a couple carabiners, a plastic pulley, and a thin nylon cord, you are very conscious of that weight and whether it’s securely being held in place.
It comes with everything you need to fire it up and…well…just stand there really. From a user manual that kind of sort of explains how to use the control panel, to a bunch of hardware to hang it, to some protective eyewear.
The glasses are tinted extremely dark to protect your eyes, but I did get some goggles that were even darker and covered less of my face. If the red light is supposed to be good for my skin I wanted as much of it exposed to the light as possible.
The pulley it hangs from has a ratcheting feature so you can adjust it up or down depending on how tall you are or what part of your body you want it to cover.
The instructions are fine, but not super helpful. It’s easy enough to figure out how to set it up, but the extremely basic photos don’t do much in the way of illustrating how to set or adjust the timer.
Once it’s all set up (see the assembly section below) you use the control panel on the side to set the amount of time you want it to run. Your options are 5 minutes, 10, 20, 30, and 45. You press the clock button to select your time. Once selected you hit the power button and a 6 second timer counts down giving you enough time to put on your eye protection and get in place before the bulbs actually turn on.
The other two of the four buttons on the side are a red light button and a near infrared light button. Apparently each of them have their separate benefits so you can choose to have one or the other or both.
And wow it is bright! You really need the protective eyewear. Or do you? I have read a lot about how these red light therapy panels can also be good for your eyes. So am I supposed to use the eyewear or not? On the website they also have a lot of photos of people using the panel with nothing covering their eyes. A bit of mixed messaging if you ask me.
The first time I used the panel I didn’t use the eyewear at all. I don’t think I did any lasting damage, but I think that was a mistake. When I got done and opened my eyes (I kept my eyes closed the whole time, even though I didn’t have the glasses on) everything was green. It faded over a period of about 3 to 5 minutes, but it was still a bit concerning at first. I wore the glasses/goggles from that point on.
They say if you are trying to treat the skin, use it at 6 inches away for 15 to 25 minutes a day, every day. And for deeper tissues to use it at 6 inches away for 40 to 50 minutes a day, every day. I get that healing and work takes time, but who has time for that?! I listened to a podcast while I did a 10 minute session on my front, and read a book while I did a 10 minute session on my back, and it still seemed to take forever. This did get easier as the days went on, but at first I felt like I was just wasting time standing around.
I would recommend they add a beep at every one minute interval, or maybe every two minutes. Just so that you know your progress. You could even choose to turn the beeping on or off at your preference.
I guess maybe this goes without saying, but the bulbs put off a significant amount of heat. Not enough to make you sweat and need a shower after using, but it does get warm.
I guess we should talk about those benefits. There are some bold claims here. To list a few: skin health, acne clearing, helping with eczema and psoriasis, tissue repair to help heal wounds and scars, reducing pain and inflammation, muscle recovery, improving blood circulation, hair regrowth, reducing cancer treatment side effects, improving cognitive function, enhanced mood, and even fertility benefits. I mean it just sounds too good to be true. And these are not all just things the company touts as benefits. There are studies out there claiming as such. As I asked in the intro, who paid for those studies, I don’t know. But they are out there.
So after using it for a month how did I feel? I have to say I felt good. Pretty darn good. Did I notice better skin or more hair? No. Did I have less pain and was I in a better mood? Yeah maybe I did and was a bit. Now, was that because I was actually experiencing benefits of standing in front of an insanely bright red panel of lights, or because I was told I should experience benefits? I can’t say, but I did feel pretty good.
Assembly, Installation, Setup
Getting the Pro300 set up was a little bit of a struggle. Not because it’s hard to do, but because we just didn’t really have a good place for it. There are two metal cables with screw in anchors on one end and a crimped loop on the other end. Those anchors attach to two holes on the top of the panel and you can hang it from that. The loops on the other end of the cables then attach to a carabiner that hangs from what I assume is a nylon cord that then goes through a ratcheting pulley used to make height adjustments. And finally there is another carabiner that then hooks on a rod that protrudes from a bracket that goes over your door.
In some of the pictures it looks like you can also just prop it up standing on the ground and sit in front of it. But this method doesn’t really allow you to get as close as I understand you are supposed to for maximum benefits.
OR, they sell an adjustable rolling stand that you can affix to the bottom of the panel. I really wish I would have gotten the stand because the setup over the door just seems a bit precarious. It works, but it seems a bit jerry rigged together.
I think the best setup would be some sort of rolling base that had an arm that would attach to the back of the panel so you could lay underneath it while in use. I guess I should try to build something, but not for this review.
It’s worth noting that it also comes with a bracket to attach the panel to a second one if you chose to get two of them for the “full-body coverage”. Even though “full-body” is in the name of this panel on its own. The 2nd panel would also come with a bracket and you would use them on either side of the two panels to attach them.
I don’t know if this is sustainable for the long term. It’s a lot of time to put in, but maybe if you have a specific injury and use it for spot treatment for longer sessions until healed. Maybe that would be a more ideal use. I guess people stand around and do way more useless things than standing in front of a light that is supposed to have some health benefits.
Final thoughts
Overall I like the product. It’s not cheap, but if you are thinking about delving into the red light therapy world you have more than likely done the research and know what you’re getting into. And from what I have gathered the more expensive units are going to “perform” better and have more of an effect. However to what extent you will see said benefits is really up in the air. I felt great using this thing. There was definitely less time spent recovering from workout sessions I think. I was in a better mood I think. But the key here is “I think”. It could have all been placebo. But even if it was, I guess I would say it’s worth it whether it’s actually working or mentally working.
