Red light therapy has become a standard part of recovery routines for athletes, physiotherapists, and wellness-focused individuals over the past decade. The practice involves applying specific wavelengths of light directly to targeted areas of the body as part of a post-workout or daily recovery routine. The L-5 is a handheld wand that emits five wavelengths across the visible and near-infrared spectrum — from 470nm blue light through to 940nm near-infrared — in a portable stainless steel body that runs on two removable rechargeable batteries and fits in a jacket pocket or gym bag.

The L-5 Performance Pillars

The L-5 emits five distinct wavelengths — 470nm, 630nm, 660nm, 850nm, and 940nm — covering blue, red, and near-infrared light ranges used across different red light therapy applications.

Each wavelength sits in a different part of the light spectrum. The 470nm blue light operates at the visible surface range and is commonly used in skincare and antimicrobial applications. The 630nm and 660nm red wavelengths sit in the range most associated with red light therapy practice — this is the core recovery-focused spectrum that gives the device its primary function. The 850nm and 940nm near-infrared wavelengths are invisible to the eye and are used for deeper tissue applications where visible red light does not reach. All five emit simultaneously from the five LED diodes in the wand head.

The L-5 operates in two modes — continuous emission and pulse mode — giving you the option to switch between a steady light output and an intermittent pulsed pattern during a session.

Continuous mode runs all five LEDs at steady output for the duration you hold the device in place. Pulse mode switches the emission on and off in a rapid cycle — the frequency of which creates a different application pattern. Red light therapy practitioners use both modes for different purposes and session types. The switch between modes is a single button press. Both modes run from the same battery and draw the same power — the choice is based on personal preference and session type rather than battery conservation.

The L-5 runs from two removable rechargeable batteries that charge via USB-C — meaning you can swap batteries mid-session and charge depleted ones separately without interrupting use.

The dual battery system is the most practical design for a handheld therapy device because it removes the session time limit imposed by a fixed internal battery. When one pair depletes you swap in fresh ones and continue. The batteries charge via USB-C cable included in the box. Battery capacity and charge time are to be confirmed — update before publishing. The stainless steel housing keeps the device weight balanced in the hand without adding bulk beyond what the battery compartment requires.

The L-5 body is constructed from stainless steel and comes with a zipper carry case — making it the most portable option in the PeakFit recovery range and suitable for desk use, travel, and gym bag carry.

Stainless steel gives the wand a durability and weight that ABS plastic housings cannot match at this form factor. The device is sized to fit in a jacket pocket or the side pocket of a gym bag. The zipper case keeps the wand, batteries, and USB-C cable organised in one place — ready to use without unpacking multiple items. Setup from case to active use takes under 30 seconds. No assembly required.

Before You Use

Read the full instruction guide before first use. Never direct the light output toward your eyes or anyone else's eyes — near-infrared wavelengths at 850nm and 940nm are invisible but can cause retinal damage with direct or prolonged exposure. If protective eyewear is included in the box, wear it during every session. Do not use on open wounds, broken skin, or active skin conditions. Do not use if pregnant. Do not use if you have a photosensitive condition or are taking photosensitising medication — consult your doctor or pharmacist if unsure. Do not use near the eyes, face, or on the chest over the heart without medical guidance. This is a consumer wellness device and is not a medical device — it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you have any existing medical condition consult your doctor before use. Keep out of reach of children.
