The Philips PAR38 Healthcare IR 150W ES-E27mm 230V Red is an infrared incandescent reflector lamp designed for the treatment of muscle pain, rheumatic ailments and sports injuries. These lamps generate localised and controllable heat through which a variety of bodily and medical impairments can be treated in the form of heat therapy. In addition, this form of lamp heat therapy has been proven to be beneficial in speeding up the healing time of wounds and injuries, improving blood circulation, encouraging the transport of beneficial compounds and providing effective pain relief.
The infrared technology within these lamps produces a wavelength spectrum which peaks at 1000 nm. This allows for deep-penetration of the top layers of the skin with gentle warmth, enhancing circulation and providing a number of health benefits. The PAR38 pressed hard glass shape includes a filament which creates a narrower and more concentrated beam, while concentric rings in the front glass ensure that the heat can be controlled directionally. This lamp also includes an internal reflector which is fully aluminized, meaning that 100% of the generated heat leaves through the front of the bulb for increased energy efficiency. The red lacquered glass finish eliminates visual glare and creates a soft and calming ambient glow.
