Full-Body Red & Near-Infrared
HEALiX Elevate Light Pod
The Elevate emits 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light at a 1:1 near-infrared to red ratio, adjustable up to a maximum of 149 mW/cm² at the surface. Those two numbers are what separate this pod from the HEALiX Glow Pod already on our shelf, which runs 4:1 red to near-infrared and adjusts up to 101 mW/cm².
The light comes from 2,680 bulbs carrying four chips each, 10,720 LED chips in total. The pod measures 71″ × 32″ × 12″, weighs 25 lbs, and folds down when you are finished. It lies flat on a bed, a sofa or the floor, and both ends stay open. HEALiX sets a session at 20 to 25 minutes on the programmable timer.

The Hardware
What the Pod Actually Emits
Every figure below is HEALiX’s published specification for the Elevate. We have printed the mechanism and left the outcomes to them.

Why Athletes Choose This
What Owning the Elevate Involves
HEALiX’s own material attaches therapeutic outcomes to red and near-infrared light. Recovery For Athletes makes no such claim. What follows is the pod as a piece of equipment: its size, its settings, its materials and its terms.

A Closer Look
Three Things Worth Knowing Before You Buy
Controls
Three settings, one interface
The digital controller handles intensity, strobe frequency and session length. Peak output is 149 mW/cm² at the surface and every step below that is available, so you can start low and work up over your first few weeks with the pod.
- Adjustable intensity to a 149 mW/cm² maximum
- Modifiable strobe frequency
- Programmable timer for 20 to 25 minute sessions
- Interface sized to read at a glance

10,720 chips at a 1:1 ratio
2,680 bulbs line the pod, four chips to a bulb. Half the output is 660nm red and half is 850nm near-infrared, which is the 1:1 near-infrared to red ratio in HEALiX’s specification. The 24V system draws 350W at full power.
- 2,680 bulbs, 4 chips per bulb, 10,720 chips total
- 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared in equal measure
- 149 mW/cm² maximum irradiance at the surface
- 24V, 350W
- 0 microtesla EMF exposure at the surface, per HEALiX

Unfold it, plug it in, lie down
The pod is cushioned and padded inside a medical-grade non-toxic TPU liner that is free of BPA, BPS and BPF. Setup is unfolding it on a flat surface, powering it on and choosing your settings. Both ends stay open, so your head and feet are never enclosed.

Glow Pod or Elevate
Two HEALiX Pods, Two Different Ratios
Both pods emit 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared and both fold flat. The split between the two wavelengths and the irradiance ceiling are where they part company, and that is the choice in front of you.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Two: 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared, in a 1:1 near-infrared to red ratio. Both run together across the full length of the pod.Ratio and output. The Glow Pod runs 4:1 red to near-infrared and adjusts up to 101 mW/cm²; the Elevate runs 1:1 and adjusts up to 149 mW/cm². HEALiX aims the Glow at skin and everyday recovery and the Elevate at deeper full-body sessions. If you want the higher irradiance ceiling and an even split between the two wavelengths, the Elevate is the one.Maximum irradiance is 149 mW/cm² at the surface and intensity is adjustable, so you can run well below the ceiling. Beginning at a lower setting and raising it as you get used to the pod is a sensible approach.HEALiX puts a session at 20 to 25 minutes. The controller has a programmable timer, so you set it once and let it run.HEALiX’s guidance on frequency varies between their own documents, so we are not going to publish a number for it. Session length is consistent across their material at 20 to 25 minutes. Follow the instructions that ship in the box, and raise frequency with your doctor if you are building a regular routine.2,680 bulbs with four chips in each, for 10,720 LED chips total. HEALiX’s Shopify copy elsewhere prints a lower chip figure; the 2,680 × 4 arithmetic in their specification table is the one that holds together, so it is the one on this page.HEALiX lists EMF exposure at the surface as 0 microtesla. That is their measurement, published in their specification for the pod.A medical-grade non-toxic TPU liner over cushioned padding, free of BPA, BPS and BPF.

Speak with your physician before you start using the Elevate, particularly if you are pregnant, taking photosensitising medication, being treated for any medical condition, or using the pod with a child. Recovery For Athletes sells the Elevate as recovery equipment and makes no medical claim for it. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything.HEALiX cites published research on red and near-infrared photobiomodulation on their own Elevate page. We have not summarised those papers here, and none of them studied this pod. Read them yourself if you want the detail. They are background on the field, and nothing more than that.The Elevate carries a 2-year warranty and a 45-day money-back satisfaction guarantee. Use it for six weeks; if it is the wrong pod for you, send it back.Free 2–4 day shipping to the lower 48, and the Elevate is HSA/FSA eligible. Check with your plan administrator before you order, since eligibility rules differ between plans.
