Who writes this, and what they do and do not know.

Jeff Hobbs

Founder and measurement lead

I buy consumer light-therapy hardware, measure what it actually emits, and read the primary literature behind the claims. I am not a dermatologist and nothing here is medical advice.

Why a named person

Health-adjacent sites usually publish under an "editorial team" byline. We think that is worse, not better: it puts no one's name behind the claims and makes a conflict of interest impossible to see. Everything here is signed, and any commercial connection to a product is stated on the page it affects.

What this site is not

It is not medical advice, not a substitute for a dermatologist, and not an accredited laboratory. If you have a skin condition, take photosensitising medication, or are pregnant, ask a clinician before using any light-therapy device.
