Getting started
What is Solbeam designed to do?
Solbeam makes at-home red and near-infrared light devices designed to support muscle recovery and promote relaxation as part of a regular wellness routine. Our panels, wand, wraps, and belt let you bring the kind of recovery tools you might find at a clinic or training facility into your home. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Which Solbeam device is right for me?
Panels are a good fit if you want to cover larger areas like your back, shoulders, or legs in one session. The wand is compact and suited to smaller, targeted areas. Wraps and the belt are flexible and hands-free, so you can move around or relax while you use them. If you are not sure, email or call us and we will help you choose.
What comes in the box?
Every device ships with its power cable or charger, a quick-start guide, and a full user guide. Panels include protective eyewear and mounting hardware. Wraps and the belt include adjustable straps. The exact contents are listed on each product page.
Do I need to set anything up?
Very little. Charge or plug in the device, read the quick-start guide, and you are ready for your first session. Panels can stand on a tabletop, hang on a door, or mount to a wall with the included hardware. Most people are up and running in about ten minutes.
Who started Solbeam?
Solbeam was founded in Kansas City in 2019 by Erin Calloway, PT, DPT, a physical therapist, and Ben Hollis, an engineer. We are family-owned and headquartered in Oak Grove, Missouri. You can read more on our About page.
Using Solbeam
How long is a session?
Most sessions run 10 to 20 minutes per area. Each device has a built-in timer, and the user guide lists recommended times for different areas of the body. Starting with shorter sessions and building up is a sensible approach.
How often should I use it?
Many people use Solbeam three to five times a week, and some use it daily. Consistency matters more than session length, so it helps to pair it with something you already do, like a post-workout cooldown or winding down in the evening.
How close should I be to a panel?
We recommend positioning yourself 6 to 12 inches from the panel for most sessions. The user guide includes positioning suggestions for common areas. Wraps, the belt, and the wand are designed to be used close to or resting on the skin.
Can I use Solbeam before or after a workout?
Yes. Many athletes use Solbeam as part of a warm-up or, more commonly, as part of their post-workout recovery routine. Others prefer an evening session to help them unwind.
How do I clean and store my device?
Unplug the device and wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge it or use harsh cleaners. Fabric wraps and straps can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water and air-dried. Store devices in a cool, dry place, and use the carrying case if yours came with one.
Safety
Do I need to wear eye protection?
Yes. Wear the included protective eyewear during sessions with panels and whenever the light is near your face. Never look directly into the LEDs, even briefly.
Is Solbeam right for everyone?
Solbeam is designed for healthy adults. If you are pregnant, photosensitive, or have questions about whether it is right for you, consult a healthcare professional before use.
Will the device feel hot?
You may feel gentle warmth during a session, which is normal. The device should never feel uncomfortably hot. If it does, stop the session, move farther from the panel, or shorten your session time. Contact us if the warmth seems unusual.
Can children use Solbeam?
Solbeam is designed for adults. Keep devices out of reach of children and pets, and do not let children use them without adult supervision.
Can I use Solbeam near water?
No. Keep all devices away from water, and do not use them in the bath, shower, or other wet areas. Water exposure is not covered by the warranty.
