"I am blown away by this device, I have the power of a panel in something that fits in my One-Bag. I can both spot treat and radiate my whole body with the same unit. I also really like the utilitarian design. It was designed with no frills but still looks aesthetic. The newest version with multiple wavelengths provides a really wide range. Chroma has earned themselves a life-time customer and I'd like to give a special shout out to Matt for being so responsive, knowledgeable and helpful"

We are confident that your experience with the light therapy devices will be nothing short of extraordinary. However, we understand that personal preferences may vary, and we want you to have complete peace of mind when you choose us with your wellbeing. If you don't love your light therapy devices, send it back for a full refund.
Offering quick and effective treatments, the Ironforge stands out as our go-to device for targeted deep tissue work.
Its sleek and compact design ensures potent doses are delivered right where you need them. You no longer need to settle for generalized treatments; give your body light exactly where it's needed.
With a staggering 80% NIR spectrum, the Ironforge promises enhanced tissue penetration, ensuring more profound therapeutic impacts.
Why spend hours near traditional panels when 30-90 seconds with Ironforge can achieve better results in your targeted area? Optimize your wellness journey.
Imagine the power of a greenhouse-style panel shrunk into a handy brick-sized device. We've designed the Ironforge from the ground up as the only option for high power density RED+NIR treatments.
We use the Ironforge like a brush, sweeping across the body and focusing on target areas of discomfort. Due to the immense light output of the Ironforge, heat buildup can occur. We recommend keeping the device in constant motion over the body, only stopping in one area for 15-30 seconds at a time, allowing the skin to cool momentarily before more exposure in any given target area.
Independent Review
NOTE: We have upgraded the Ironforge device since this Alex Fergus made this video. The Ironforge now features a wider range of wavelengths as noted in the specs above. The TOTAL power has not changed.
Though we donโt make health claims, the world of research does speak volumes. Thousands of studies show positive effects of PBM, suggesting benefits ranging from cognitive enhancement, muscle and joint health support, to inducing feelings of relaxation...
Expose each knee for 45 seconds total at the faceplate to 6" distance, split up into 15 seconds over three different angles.
After a workout, target sore muscles by sweeping over each affected area for 20 seconds from two or more different angles for a total of 40 seconds per muscle group. This helps to stimulate recovery and reduce soreness.
To rejuvenate facial skin, support skin health and collagen production, hold the Ironforge about 18"-20" away from your face (arms length). Close your eyes and exposure your face for 10-20 seconds. Do NOT gaze into the device.

User Guide & FAQ
General Use & Common Questions
The Ironforge can be used with the faceplate directly against your skin, or up to 6" for targeted use. Keep the device in constant motion over your body to avoid excessive heat buildup.
As with any new stimuli, start small and work up to a dose that works well for your body. Many people find their ideal dose between 5-15 minutes a day, spread over the whole body and focusing more on their problem areas.
Never gaze into the device, and close your eyes if the device passes near your face.
It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
No! Let's estimate the fluence of red and NIR light one might get from the sun on an average summer day under the shade of a tree...
1. Sunlight Spectrum Intensity:
Sunlight is approximately 1000 W/m^2 in direct sunlight. When considering the red to NIR range (600-900nm), about 43% of the solar spectrum falls into this range. So, the intensity in this range is approximately: 0.43 x 1000 W/m^2 = 430 W/m^2
2. Shade Reduction:
Being in the shade can reduce sunlight intensity by around 50-90%, depending on the shade's type and density. Let's take an average value of 70% reduction. Intensity in the shade = 0.3 x 430 W/m^2 = 129 W/m^2
3. Conversion to Fluence (Total Dose):
Fluence (J/cm^2) is power (W/cm^2) multiplied by time (seconds). Let's consider
exposure over a day (let's say 6 hours of variable sunlight in shade). This would be 6 x 60 x 60 seconds = 21,600 seconds.
First, convert the intensity from W/m^2 to W/cm^2:
129 W/m^2 = 0.0129 W/cm^2
Then, compute the fluence:
Fluence = 0.0129 W/cm^2 x 21,600 s = 278.88 J/cm^2
So, in the shade on an average summer day, one could be exposed to a total
fluence of near 300 J/cm^2 in the red & near infrared range from the sun.
We find the total exposure seems to be more important in
many processes, so we us multi-watt red/nir light in our device to offer quick effective treatments.

Yes! Your Ironforge is compatible with both 110/120 and 220/240 V, (adapter not included).
Rest assured the device is working properly.
Wavelengths beyond about 700 nanometers are invisible to the human eye, it's normal to not see any light from the LEDs in this range.
This is by design as near infrared (NIR) light is
the frequency range that penetrates deepest into the tissue to do their job.
One way to verify complete function is using an inexpensive wall power meter like the "kill-a-watt" device, you should see around 210W of power draw.
No, but you'll be interested in our D-Light device, the first ever consumer UVB LED device for Vitamin D production.
