The MITO LIGHT® LED Light 4.0 is a red and near-infrared light therapy device designed to support health through light exposure. It comes in several models: Starter 4.0, Expert 4.0, Biohacker 4.0, and Mitohacker 4.0, each with varying power and dimensions.

Function Description

The device emits red and near-infrared light using high-power, dual-chip LEDs. It features six specific wavelength peaks: 630 nm, 660 nm, 670 nm, 810 nm, 830 nm, and 850 nm, all represented in equal proportion. Each LED contains both a red and a near-infrared chip, creating a synergistic effect.

The light is absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria, particularly Cytochrome c Oxidase. This absorption leads to an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential, oxygen consumption, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, along with a transient increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which subsequently boosts antioxidant activity.

Potential benefits include increased energy, accelerated muscle, joint, and tendon regeneration, enhanced collagen production, improved skin quality, and better blood circulation. Red light (RED) is primarily absorbed by the skin, aiding in skin quality, appearance, and healing of wounds and scars. Near-infrared light (NIR) penetrates deeper, supporting muscle, joint, and tendon regeneration, and potentially improving cognitive function. The device is designed for both spectra to be used together for synergistic effects.

Usage Features

The device is designed for ease of use with a touch screen interface.

Setup: Secure the device in a stable position, plug in the power cable, and turn on the power switch.
Time Setting: Use the "TIME" button to set the session duration between 1 and 20 minutes.
Light Mode Adjustment: Use the "LIGHT" button to adjust the intensity of RED and NIR light modes from 0% to 100% using sliders.
Starting a Session: Touch the "CHECK" button to begin.
Session Duration and Distance: Expose yourself to the light without clothes at a distance of 15-50 cm for 10-20 minutes per day. Shorter distances require shorter illumination times. One illuminated area can be treated 1-2 times per day, with a total maximum of 30 minutes per day for the same area.
Protective Glasses: While many users keep their eyes closed, protective glasses are included and recommended unless advised otherwise by a physician.
Manual Off: The light automatically switches off after the set time. To switch off manually, touch the time in the circle. If the time is set to 0 MIN, the light stays on until manually switched off.
Power Off: After use, turn off the power switch (position "O") and unplug the device from the socket to completely disconnect it from the power supply.
Multiple Device Connection: Devices can be connected using a power connection cable. One device is set as "PRIMARY" to control "SECONDARY" devices. "SOLO" mode allows a device to work independently. Devices are grouped by selecting a GROUP SIGNAL number (1, 2, or 3).
Silent Mode: The "SOUND" button in the bottom right corner can turn the touch screen sound ON/OFF.
Bluetooth and APP Connection: The "BLUETOOTH" button enables/disables Bluetooth for APP connection. The "MITO LIGHT" APP (available on App Store and Google Play) allows remote control of the device via smartphone.

Accessories:

Power Cable: Connects the device to an electrical outlet.
Power Connection Cable: Connects multiple devices.
Protective Glasses: For eye protection during use.
Hanging System: Includes an eye screw and dowel for wall mounting, an adjustable door hook, and steel cables with threads and carabiners for hanging or connecting multiple devices vertically.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Before cleaning, switch off the device, disconnect it from the mains, and allow it to cool. Wipe gently with a cloth. Do not use cleaning agents containing solvents, spray water directly on the device, or clean it in a dishwasher.
Storage: Store the device in its original packaging in a dry place after it has cooled down.
Inspection: Regularly check the device and its accessories for damage. Do not use if damaged and contact the dealer.
Installation Check: Periodically verify the security of the installation. If any part shows weakening or deterioration, stop use and contact customer service.
Troubleshooting (Light Functionality):
- Proper Function: Red spectrum (RED) shows visible red light and fans turn on. Near-infrared spectrum (NIR) emits invisible light (verifiable with a mobile phone camera) and fans turn on. Both spectra on simultaneously will show all LEDs lit and fans on.
- Improper Function: LEDs do not light up/flash, only a portion of LEDs illuminate, or an unusual fan sound is heard.

Safety Instructions:

Always follow safety instructions.
Ensure the device is placed on a firm, level surface or hung securely.
Use only supplied accessories for hanging.
Maintain a minimum distance of 15 cm from the body.
Do not illuminate one area for more than 30 minutes per day, or more than 20 minutes at a time from less than 30 cm distance.
Check for skin and eye reactions; discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Consult a physician before use, especially if pregnant, have acute inflammatory processes, cancer, hyperthyroidism, light sensitivity due to medication, or for use with children.
Do not use on helpless people, children under 3, or those insensitive to heat.
Do not look directly into the light source.
Do not touch the device with wet hands or immerse it in water.
Do not use in humid environments, outdoors, or near flammable mixtures.
Do not open or repair the device yourself; contact customer service for repairs.
In case of fire, use a suitable fire extinguisher for electrical fires. If smoke or burning smell occurs, disconnect from mains and contact customer service.
