It is the only device in BioLight's range with four selectable light modes, and the only one whose fourth mode pulses at a fixed rate. It runs off an internal battery for 2 to 2.5 hours per charge, so nothing is plugged in while it is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eBioLight publishes its output at two distances, and both belong on the page: 30 mW\/cm2 at contact and 4.2 mW\/cm2 at 6 in. There is no dimming, so those two figures are the whole picture. Two other things to know before you buy. The Shine is one of only two BioLight devices that use 630nm for the red channel; the other eight use 660nm. And BioLight's own copy hangs an uncited research claim on the 40 Hz mode, which RFA's earlier draft of this page reproduced without so much as a link. That claim is not on this page.

The Shine's emitting face is 6.3 in. by 3.8 in. BioLight's previous handheld carried 12 LEDs in that same footprint; this generation carries 15. Nothing about the device got bigger, so the gaps between emitters got smaller. That matters because each LED throws a cone, and cones from neighbouring emitters have to overlap before the light across the face reads as an even wash and not as fifteen bright spots. A 60 degree focusing lens on each LED sets how quickly those cones spread and where they meet. This is also why LED count is worth nothing as a cross-device number: 15 on a 6.3 in. handheld and 300 on a 36 in. panel describe two different densities, and neither tells you what lands on a surface without a distance attached.\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cspan class=\"tech-card__stat\"\u003e15 LEDs on a 6.3 x 3.8 in. face\u003c\/span\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"tech-card\"\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"tech-card__icon\"\u003e〰\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"tech-card__title\"\u003eFour Settings, and the Fourth Runs at 40 Hz\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"tech-card__text\"\u003eRed and near-infrared together, red alone, near-infrared alone, or the combined setting with the near-infrared channel pulsing at a fixed 40 Hz.

The rate is fixed at 40 Hz with no adjustment, no range and no other preset.
