Photon Fold is building light that holds still.
We're building light products around chosen wavelengths, on continuous power with no flicker. Nothing is for sale yet. Until then, we publish what the research shows, with every source linked.

Light output over 20 milliseconds
Two lines over 20 milliseconds. Steady output is a flat line. Output with 100 Hz ripple rises and falls twice.
Dark line: steady output. Grey line: output with 100 Hz ripple.
Illustration, not a measurement of any product.
One study, plainly
808 nm laser light on neck trigger points did not reduce pain more than a sham laser (the main outcome). A secondary neck-disability score improved more with the real laser.

What we're building
Specific wavelengths
Light products designed around chosen wavelengths of light, described plainly.
Continuous, flicker-free power
Designs that aim to deliver steady light, without the rapid on-off cycling some light sources have.
Other helpful light products
Over time, we may also find, sell or make other light products that meet the same standards.

How we handle evidence
Every statement has a source
Each research summary links to the published paper, so you can check it yourself.
Labelled by who was studied
Human, animal or cell research is labelled on every entry. Lab results are not human results.
Null results stay in
Many trials missed their main goal. We show those too, along with the caveats that matter.
