What are the wavelengths of light emitted from your infrared lights?

Our infrared lights emit NO ultraviolet light and no electromagnetic field

Infrared Light Info

The amount of energy in a light wave is related to its wavelength: Shorter wavelengths have higher energy. Of visible light, violet has the most energy, and red has the least. Just next to the visible light spectrum is the infrared (IR) spectrum. Infrared light can be split into three categories:

  • Near spectrum ranges from 700-1600 nanometers. Closest to visible light.
  • Middle spectrum ranges from 1700-3000 nanometers. Both near-IR and mid-IR are used by a variety of electronic devices, including remote controls.
  • Far spectrum ranges from 3000- 5000 nanometers. Occupying the largest part of the infrared spectrum.
