The Personal Tower is a compact 13⅜-inch red light and near-infrared therapy device built for portable, targeted spot treatment. It uses 42 medical-grade LEDs (21 red at 650nm and 21 near-infrared at 850nm) and Clearlight's Variable Optics™ lens system to deliver clinical-grade light therapy in a form factor small enough for a desk, nightstand, or kitchen counter. It ships with its own purpose-built stainless steel stand and is the smallest member of the Clearlight Red Light Therapy family.

The Personal Tower uses two wavelengths: 650nm red light and 850nm near-infrared. Red 650nm is absorbed by surface tissue and supports skin health, collagen production, and circulation, while near-infrared 850nm penetrates deeper to reach muscles, joints, and connective tissue. Combining both wavelengths in a single fixture gives you full-depth coverage in one session, which is why every tower in the Clearlight RLT line uses this dual-wavelength approach.

Don't let the size fool you. The Personal Tower uses the same medical-grade LEDs, the same Variable Optics™ lens system, and delivers the same therapeutic irradiance (approximately 55–110 mW/cm² at 4 inches) as the much larger Full Body and CORE towers. What changes with the smaller form factor is treatment area, not treatment intensity. You're getting Clearlight's full clinical spec — just focused on a smaller piece of you at a time.

Most red light panels use a single fixed lens angle. The Personal Tower uses two lens types in one fixture: narrow lenses (7°–30°) that concentrate light for higher irradiance on smaller treatment areas, and wide lenses (40°–60°) that spread light across a larger surface for broader coverage. The result is approximately 55–110 mW/cm² of irradiance at 4 inches — high-intensity targeted treatment and broad coverage from the same device.

Face masks and the Personal Tower solve different problems. Most LED face masks use lower-quality LEDs with shallow light penetration, cover only the front of the face, sit directly against your skin (which can trap heat and clog pores), require charging, and lock you into a fixed distance. The Personal Tower uses Clearlight's medical-grade LEDs with the patented Variable Optics™ lens system for deeper penetration, treats the full face plus neck, hands, joints, or any spot you want, never touches your skin, plugs into the wall (no batteries to wear out), and lets you adjust distance based on what you're treating. It's a more capable device, period.

All three Clearlight Red Light Therapy towers use the same medical-grade LEDs, same Variable Optics™ lens system, same 650nm + 850nm wavelengths, and same therapeutic irradiance — what differs is size, coverage area, and intended use:

• Personal Tower — 13⅜ inches tall, 42 LEDs, designed for portable spot treatment on a desk or counter
• CORE Tower — 38 inches tall, 140 LEDs, designed for in-sauna integration plus standalone room use
• Full Body Tower — 59 inches tall, 224 LEDs, designed for whole-body wall-mounted treatment

The Personal Tower is the right choice if you want targeted treatment for the face, hands, joints, or any specific body area without committing to a wall-mounted fixture.

Anywhere with a standard 120V household outlet and a flat surface to set the included Personal Stand on. Common spots include bathroom counters (for face treatment), home office desks (use it during work sessions), kitchen counters, nightstands, and dressing tables. The included stainless steel stand is angled to direct light at your face while seated or standing close. Add the Mini Fixed Wall Mount variant if you want a more permanent setup in a bathroom, home office, or bedroom.

No. The Personal Tower is built for tabletop and indoor room use only and is not engineered to withstand sauna heat. If you want red light therapy inside your Clearlight Infrared Sauna, the CORE Tower is the only Clearlight RLT product designed for in-sauna installation.

The Personal Tower ships in two configurations:

• Personal Stand (Standalone) — the default, includes the purpose-built stainless steel tabletop stand
• + Mini Fixed Wall Mount — adds a smaller fixed wall mount sized specifically for the Personal Tower for permanent wall installation

Note: the Mini Fixed Wall Mount is sized only for the Personal Tower — it's not the same as the larger Fixed Wall Mount used by the CORE and Full Body towers. Pick whichever variant suits your setup at checkout.

Clearlight's official usage guide recommends:

• Standing 6"–10" away — 15 to 20-minute sessions for general health, wellness, and energy
• Sitting 12"–24" away — 20 to 30-minute sessions for broader coverage
• Spot treatment 4"–6" away — 10 to 20 minutes per area for targeted concerns like the face, hands, or a sore joint

Because the Personal Tower is most often used for spot treatment, the 4"–6" distance is the most common setup — close enough to deliver maximum irradiance to a specific area.

Daily use is recommended when you're starting out, then taper to three or four sessions per week as your routine matures. For targeted areas with concentrated pain, treatments can be done two to three times per day. Per Clearlight's guidance, there's no such thing as "too much" light therapy — after a certain point your body simply stops absorbing additional light, so you can't overdose on a session.

Most users start noticing changes within two to four weeks of consistent daily use — improved skin tone, better recovery from workouts, or reduced muscle soreness. Deeper benefits (joint mobility, sleep quality, chronic pain relief) typically emerge over six to twelve weeks. Red light therapy is a cumulative therapy: consistency matters more than session length, and results are dose-dependent over time.

Yes — face and skin treatment is one of the most common uses for the Personal Tower. The compact form factor makes it easy to set on a bathroom counter or vanity, sit in front of it for 10–20 minutes, and let the 650nm red light work on surface tissue while the 850nm near-infrared reaches deeper. Unlike LED face masks, the Personal Tower never touches your skin, so there's no heat buildup or pore-clogging concern.

No — special eye protection is not required. Per Clearlight's safety documentation, the Personal Tower can be used safely without eye protection, and standard sunglasses provide adequate protection if you'd like extra comfort. We include optional goggles in the box for added comfort during the initial adjustment period, but you are not required to wear them. As a general rule, avoid staring directly into the LEDs.

Red light therapy is generally safe and pain-free, but Clearlight recommends consulting your doctor before starting if you have a serious health issue or chronic illness, take photosensitizing medications (some antibiotics, retinoids, certain blood pressure medications), have a condition like lupus, or have bipolar disorder (rare cases of mania have been reported). Some users experience minor side effects when first starting — mild headaches, irritability, or eye strain — which typically resolve once the body adjusts.

Clearlight does not specifically prohibit use during pregnancy, but we recommend consulting your doctor or OB before starting any new therapy while pregnant. There is no published evidence that red light therapy is harmful during pregnancy, but every pregnancy is different and a medical professional should make the call.

Turn on the main power switch on the top of the tower. The front panel lights up with a small red indicator. Press one of the six timer presets — 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 minutes — to start a session. Press the Play/Pause button to pause and resume mid-session. To reset, hold Play/Pause for 2–3 seconds for standby, then press a new time button. The LED countdown shows therapy time remaining in 5-minute increments and flashes during the final 4 minutes.

The Personal Tower has whisper-quiet maglev fans at the top and bottom of the fixture for cooling. You'll hear a soft hum during operation but it's quiet enough for use on a desk during work calls or in a bedroom without being disruptive. After you turn the tower off, the fans may continue running for up to 5 minutes to fully cool the LEDs — this is normal and protects the unit's lifespan.

Yes. The Personal Tower has a timer override mode for use with automated smart plugs (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit-compatible plugs all work). Hold the 5-minute and 30-minute buttons together, then press Play/Pause to enter override mode. Once active, the tower will power on automatically when the smart plug supplies power — useful for hands-free morning routines or scheduled sessions.

Yes. The control panel features tactile switches and Braille markings on all timer buttons.

The Personal Tower itself measures 13⅜ inches tall × 5 inches wide × 3½ inches deep and weighs 6 pounds. The included Personal Stand measures 12¼ inches tall × 5¾ inches wide × 9 inches deep and weighs 2 pounds. Total height with the tower mounted on the stand is 16½ inches; total weight is 8 pounds. The power cord is 64 inches long.

100–240V AC, 50–60 Hz, 65W. The plug type is NEMA 5-15P — the standard three-prong household plug used by virtually every appliance in your home. No special outlet, no electrical upgrades, no wall adapter needed. Just plug it into any 120V/15-amp household circuit and you're ready to go. At 65W, it draws less power than most desk lamps.

Per Clearlight's official component list:

• The Personal Tower (13⅜")
• Personal Tower Stand
• Dust bag for storage
• Optional goggles for comfort during initial use
• Protective labels (×2)

The Mini Fixed Wall Mount accessory ships separately with its own hardware when added as a variant.

Very. At 6 pounds for the tower alone (8 with the stand), the Personal Tower is genuinely portable — easy to move from a bathroom counter to a home office desk to a nightstand depending on what you're treating. The included dust bag doubles as a carrying sleeve for storage or short-distance moves. It's not battery-powered, so you'll always need an outlet within 64 inches (the cord length), but otherwise it goes wherever you do.

Occasional dusting with a light damp cloth is all the maintenance the tower needs — always with the unit unplugged. Do not use heavy water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners. When not in use, store the tower unplugged and cover it with the included dust bag to keep the LEDs free of debris.

Clearlight's medical-grade LEDs are rated for tens of thousands of hours of continuous use — well beyond a decade of typical home use.
