Not every colour on an LED mask is there for decoration. Each wavelength, measured in nanometres (nm), sits at a different point on the light spectrum and interacts with skin in its own way. The Luyors Equinox™ Pro uses four of them: 415, 590, 633 and 830 nm. Here is what each is generally used for.
415 nm: Blue light
Blue light is the best-known choice for blemish-prone skin. It is absorbed near the surface and is commonly used to help keep the skin looking clearer and calmer. If you struggle with occasional breakouts, this is the wavelength most often paired with a regular routine.
590 nm: Amber (yellow) light
Amber sits between green and red. It is typically used to support a more even-looking tone and to help skin appear less reactive and more comfortable. Many people reach for it when their complexion looks dull or blotchy.
633 nm: Red light
Visible red light is the classic "glow" wavelength. It may help support the look of smoother, fresher skin and is widely used in at-home routines aimed at fine lines and general radiance. It works at a shallower depth than near-infrared.
830 nm: Near-infrared light
You cannot see 830 nm, but skin can absorb it. Because it travels deeper than visible light, it is often chosen to support the look of firmness and skin vitality, especially alongside red light.
Why combined modes extend their reach
Because each wavelength works at a different depth and for a different purpose, using them together means one session can address several concerns at once. The Equinox™ Pro offers 6 modes, so you can run a single colour or blend them depending on what your skin needs that week. Its 656 LEDs, delivering up to 38 mW/cm², cover the face along with the neck and chest panel, so the areas that often get forgotten are included.
- Blemish focus: lean on blue (415 nm).
- Tone focus: add amber (590 nm).
- Glow and smoothness: choose red (633 nm).
- Deeper support: include near-infrared (830 nm).
Sessions take 10 minutes, so the routine fits easily into an evening. As with any skincare step, results vary from person to person, and consistency matters more than intensity. If you have a skin condition, are pregnant, or take photosensitising medication, check with a professional before starting.
