It's a free version anyway, and I guess it can't harm but I will see if it can help with anything. Another option would be one of these red lights for growing plants that have recommended 660nm:

Well, the filter is already built in the monitor which I'm using. I just have to play a 15 minute video which I made from this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTZeYY26eew
Of course, there are differences in filters. The new ones, like the ones in iPhone 7 or the Quantum Dot in Samsung QLED TV's are very good for red 600's, but not as good as those plant grow lights, because Quantum Dot peaks around 630-640: https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/QuantumDotGood_Main_3.jpg
So, for those who have the means, 850nm floodlight plus the 660nm grow light seems to be the best combination. After the original Infrabed desing, of course.

ah okay, your filter is already in your smartphone? But:
1. is this filter reliable? it would be interesting if you can check it with a spectrophotometer
2. What about wifi waves?
My idea is rather to use a filter made of a large plate of glass (anti-blue light plate of glass) and place many LED bulbs behind it.

Yes, I would love to have spectrophotometer. But they are very expensive. I have no way to know which red color I'm using without it.
I'm using PC monitor right now, but if I would be using smartphone I would turn of the network ("airplane mode") while doing the photo therapy.
You could instead just buy some red Christmas lights.
Yeah, I see that now that you mentioned it, had to look it up to see what you meant: http://www.shabathmineralwellness.com/red-light-therapy-is-not-infrared/Laura said:
Wrong freq's and expensive(SOL $3100)... but the use of carbon sheet instead of fibers is interesting... if a substance that radiated in that infrared 800-850 nn could be found and prove more useful than these LEDs, right?

The near infrared LEDs are relatively inexpensive especially if you get the big lights for illuminating infrared cameras. A couple of those and you are all set; no need for glass filters or any of that other messing around. And since security or hunting cameras are pretty much ubiquitous, so should the lights be.

OK thanks for the clarification.Scottie said:
I received my flood light 2 days ago and thought I'd give my report so far. I didn't think it was working at first since you cant see the lights on in a daylight room so a bit concerning. I placed the light about 30 inches away at throat level for 20 min. at the first treatment but had the feeling that wasn't close enough so the second day I laid on the bed, propped the light on a pillow at throat level and brought it close to that area, maybe 1 inch away which seemed a lot better. I dozed off just around 20 min. and woke myself at 25. Just before this I had a full body chill! I removed the light and in 3 min. I had another full body chill... I wonder what thats about? I did feel much more energized during the day despite not having a good nights sleep. The light is rather heavy and figuring how to set it up was a bit tricky but laying down seemed to work best.
I delivered the reptile light 660 nm. to my son today and showed him how to set it up for treatments of his carpal tunnel problems. I spoke with his wife also of how the light can be used to help her 5 yr. old son who has a few burns on his face and legs due to being careless around a campfire soaking up infrared.. He's already healing well and a trip to the doctors happened right away.
Altogether an inspiring 2 days :). I'm not sure how close to the body the light should be and this is my best guess so far. Any suggestions are welcome.

I received this IR floodlight http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Night-vision-216-pcs-LEDs-CCTV-IR-Infrared-Illuminator-Lamp-Lights-850nm-940nm-/110435725140 on Monday. So I thought I'd give my report too.
The floodlight I got covers an area about 20 x 30 cm. When turned on, it gives a faint red glow and no heat, but if left on for a while, it gets warm or even somewhat hot at the glass. The light has a sensor so it turns off if there's nothing in front of it. I use it by placing it on the body so it is always on, but if you put it a bit further away, it may turn itself off. The whole thing is fairly heavy to be held for any significant period without support.
I've been using it every day for about 1.5 - 2 hours in the evening, moving every half an hour to a different area on the body. I focused mostly on the lower back and stomach, as I have some problems there and as those are the most convenient areas when sitting at the desk. Occasionally, I applied on the head and chest as I lied on the bed too. At first, I used it through a layer of clothes, but then I got bolder and put it directly on the skin.
About the results, the first effect I can notice is an increase in energy, not much in the sense of feeling more energetic, but that I can now function longer without falling into dissociation. For the full week, I could stay fairly alert up until the evening, even on the Friday. I guess it's an increase in the energy reserve, but not energy level.
The second effect is that it seems to improve my digestive system. Previously, every time I eat anything beside meat and green vegetable, my tummy would give a clear signal that it doesn't like it. In the last Friday, I partook in some fruits at the office. I waited for the usual "signal", but didn't feel anything. Clearly, something good is happening.
I read someone's concern that the treatment may energize you, making it difficult to sleep if applied in the evening. I don't notice anything to that effect.
