Setting Up a Red Light Device at a Craft Table or Desk
Quick answer: If you sit for long stretches at a craft table or desk, pick a device that works while you stay in place. A small panel on a stand, a torch on a tripod or slippers under the desk all keep your hands free. This is a setup guide, not medical advice.
Setups compared
| Setup | How it works | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Panel on a stand | Sits beside or in front of you at a set distance | Needs a stable surface and cord management |
| Torch | Small and easy to place on a stand or hold | Hand held use ties up a hand |
| Slippers | Worn under the desk during seated time | Keep cords clear of your chair wheels |
Placement tips
- Measure the distance once and mark the spot so each session matches. Our irradiance specs show how power changes with distance.
- Keep the light out of your direct line of sight while you work.
- Use a cord clip to keep walkways clear.
Common mistakes
- Leaving a device where crafting supplies can block the vents.
- Placing a panel so close that you cannot work comfortably.
- Looking directly into the lights while checking your project.
