What is "The LightWorks"?

The LightWorks is a professionally designed quality unit, thoroughly tested and guaranteed to operate as per the specifications.

The LightWorks is designed to generate an intense LED Light output using Constant-Current. The Hand Paddle has high intensity LEDs on both sides. One side has 60 x Red LEDs at a wavelength of 660nm. The other side of the Hand Paddle has 55 x high intensity Near-Infrared (NIR) LEDs at a wavelength of 880nm. There are also 5 x Red LEDs at 660nm wavelength on the NIR side of the paddle to indicate the NIR LEDs are working as NIR light is invisible to the human eye.

There are 8 different selectable Modes (A through G and Constant).

The LightWorks unit will output a steady (non-pulsed) beam of LED light when in Constant Mode.

Additionally, the LightWorks unit can pulse the LEDs at specific healing frequencies (Modes A through G).

Modes are selected with the ON/OFF/MODE button. The currently selected Mode is indicated by the appropriate Green Mode lights.

The unit starts up in the Automatic Cycle, running through each of the 8 Modes for 4 minutes per Mode. An Orange light on the base indicates the Automatic Cycle has been selected.

In the Manual Cycle the Constant Mode will stay on for 30 minutes, and Modes A through G will stay on for 15 minutes.

When the LightWorks unit has completed a Manual or Automatic Cycle, it will shut itself OFF.

A Hand Paddle Button on the base unit is used to select which side of the paddle is active.

The following table indicates the frequency of each Mode as well as the total energy output for the Red and the Near-Infrared (NIR) LEDs.

Unique Features:

• Constant current of 20 milliamps per LED (Constant current ensures each LED has the same output and that each LED works under optimal electrical conditions.)
• Very High Intensity LED Output. (Red LEDs output ~197 mW Total, and the NIR LEDs output ~228 mW Total)
• Designed with RED @ 660nm as well as Near Infra-Red @ 880nm LEDs
• Unit functions and Frequencies controlled by Micro-Computer
• Hand Paddle connects to base unit with standard telephone cord
• Compact and lightweight.
• CE Certification

The Unit:

The LightWorks is housed in a custom plastic enclosure. A pushbutton turns the LightWorks on and off. A series of Green Mode lights indicates which Mode the unit is in. You can select any of the Modes manually, or you can select AUTO and the unit will cycle through each of the Modes. An on-board Quartz Crystal-based Micro-Computer controls all unit functions and frequencies.

After approximately 30 minutes of pulsing the LW1 will turn itself off.

The LightWorks is packaged in a soft carrying case for easy storage.
 

Electronics:

The LightWorks is designed to the highest standards. We've designed The LightWorks from the ground up using the latest in electronic components. The result is a very powerful, reliable and rugged unit.

Specifications

Constant current of 20 milliamperes per LED (Constant current ensures each LED has the same output.)

60 x High Intensity Red LEDs at 660nm wavelength (+/- 10nm), Approximately 197mW Total Output

55 x High Intensity Near Infra-Red LEDs at 880nm wavelength (+/- 10nm), Approximately 228mW Total Output

Frequency tolerance: +/- 1Hz

Power Input: 12 Volts DC @ 1.0 Amps

Each LightWorks comes complete with:

• The LightWorks LW1 unit
• Operating Instructions
• One (1) International AC-DC Wall Adaptor (NOTE: We have adaptors that have blades for North America, Hong Kong, Europe, and Australia. Please specify when ordering.)
• One (1) Soft Carrying Case
• 3 Year Parts and Labor Warranty

International Voltage (220/240 Volt AC 50 Hz Mains) Requirements:

• The LightWorks ships with an International Wall Adaptor intended for any voltage from 110VAC 60 Hz (North America) to 220/240 Volt AC 50 Hz Mains (as found in International Countries). Thus, you can use your new LightWorks virtually anywhere in the world.
   

• Additionally, the LightWorks may also be operated directly from a 12 Volt DC Battery like an automobile cigarette lighter. You will need to purchase an Adapter cord which plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a Centre Positive, 2.1mm Plug. Radio Shack® usually has these Adapters.

Options for Powering the LightWorks

In the event of a power outage here are some options for powering the LightWorks:

1. The LightWorks may be operated directly from a 12 Volt DC Battery like an automobile cigarette lighter. You will need to purchase an Adapter cord which plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a Centre Positive, 2.1mm Plug, like from Radio Shack®.
2. The LightWorks can be powered by a suitable solar panel. Keep in mind that most solar panel generators are used to re-charge a battery which in turn operates the unit. Therefore we suggest you use a solar panel (preferably a sealed Gel-Cel® type) to re-charge a 12 Volt DC automobile battery, then run the LightWorks directly from the battery. You will need to use a cord which has alligator clips on one end to attach to the battery terminals, and the appropriate Centre Positive, 2.1mm Plug on the other end to plug into the LightWorks. Be careful with polarity! This type of cord with alligator clips on one end is probably not readily available, therefore you will to need to buy a cord and cut off the end that normally goes into the cigarette lighter, and solder your own set of alligator clips. Use a black and red alligator clips so you ensure polarity is correct each time you connect the circuit.
3. If you wish to operate the LightWorks directly from a solar panel you will need to use a 12 Volt DC output panel that is capable of supplying at least 2.5 Amps. The LightWorks' initial starting demands may require a higher output solar panel. That is why it is preferable to use a charged 12 Volt DC battery instead.
