Trifecta Light - A Post-COVID Red Light Bed!
This is the "new kid" in the red light bed space. The bed surfaced in 2021-22, making it the first post-covid red light bed of relevance. With regular updates to its design - moving from Pro-300 to Pro 400 to now Pro-450, and a few intermediate models that they shelved and evolved - this is maybe the most evolving bed since then. I like this bed - they are really striving to become better all the time. And the owner is also a very genuine person - just as I have seen in another brand - NovoTHOR - that I have also reviewed here.
The owner is a doctor - Dr. Carl Rothschild, who has been in this area since 1990 or a year earlier. This is a lot of experience, from a stand-up guy, making the experience of buying and owning a Trifecta Light positive. The machine also comes under the same levels as the NovoTHOR and OvationULT, and is a powerful machine but with really good fine-tuned power control.
Technically, Trifecta Light is a fast burnout bed with a canopy on it. With good fine-controls, it can accommodate all kinds of session needs, but for busy clinics/spas, it can keep running back-to-back 10-12 minute sessions (and 20-minute sessions too under different settings, if needed), with zero heating or off-gassing issue.
There are specific points about the Trifecta Light Pro beds that I like. First, even though they are the most modern among the lot, they operate with only 3700-4500 high quality LED diodes. Next, its performance is at least as good as, if not better than, the NovoTHOR - but at less than half the price. Third, they have great control over the machine. Fourth, the owner knows this field really well, and has the medical knowledge to back that up.
Trifecta Light is the bed that I have sold the most in recent past. The catch is that, it is practically always new beds, because of a few reasons. One, their return rates are way too low so older resales practically do not exist. Two, the number of trade show beds isn't much available - they sell well regardless - so they do not do much of trade shows. And their build quality is good, making dented beds also almost rare.
On the con side, what I found is that their claim is 150 mW/cm2 too, just like Theralight, they claim 150 mW/cm2 irradiance, which is technically not delivered to the body. But what is delivered is great and gets the job done very well in a reasonable amount of time with fantastic quality.
Really, from a sheer quality standpoint, Trifecta Light beds are too good to get into this marketing gimmick. I wish they hadn't. But since the company is honest and upright in every other sense, backed up by one of the best professionals in Dr. Carl Rothschild, I feel absolutely comfortable in recommending and selling these beds and pads. Their pads too are good, by the way. Many clinics and spas use those.
By the way, for pads, they have a free trial with a refundable deposit. If you wish to get a feel of their pads, you can try it out.
NovoTHOR is really built in the USA. Trifecta Light, on the other hand, is made in China but assembled in the USA, so from a legal standpoint they are made in the USA.
Overall, their Pro 300 and Pro 450, both are really things. However, if a clinic is looking at sessions of 30 mins or 60 minutes (1 hour), promising the patient a long, relaxing session where they feel comfortable and fall asleep, then Trifecta Light is not the right red light bed. Anything more than 15 minutes on this bed is not easy.
I would not recommend anything longer than 10 minutes on this bed to a patient (client) that is just starting out. After some days of seasoning, 15 minutes. 20 as the very maximum under appropriate guidance. It is a fast-burn canopy bed after all, and one of the most modern among the red light beds that exist.
I occassionally get Trifecta Light Pads returned - especially folks who change their minds about buying any red light unit at all while they do a free trial of their pad for a month. These are not many but they do keep coming so if you want a used pad (trial-use for a month almost always) for a big discount then check with me on the phone (1-888-547-5296).

I have rare got a bed returned though (not pads but beds). So I can pass over to you the bulk discounts I get for selling a lot of these in the form of NEW BEDS, but it is not too likely that I shall be able to give you a used bed for a lower price. But if you still want to put yourself in the waitlist, just let me know.

What's NEW?
LATEST CHANGES IN RED LIGHT BEDS AND PADS
Prices: Prices have dropped – while advertised prices remain the same, costs have decreased.
Design: Zero gravity-shaped designs. Perfect for those who prefer neither flat nor concave styles.
Shape: New designs – top canopies are now positioned closer to the body.
Covers: 1/32-inch plastic covers. 1/8-inch covers have become less common.
Machine weight: Between 100 and 200 lbs – no more bulky 500 to 800 lb red light beds.
EMF: Lower EMF – now compatible with standard 110V outlets, eliminating the need for 20 or 30 amp connections.
Source of heat: High-heat circuit boards are mostly a thing of the past. Users feel relaxed due to circuit board heat, not the red light itself.
Quietness: Loud fans are no longer needed due to low-heat circuit boards.
Smell (off-gassing): Off-gassing has mostly been addressed. Clinics no longer smell like before.
Vibration plate massaging: Frequency massages are often built-in. The post-treatment process thus no longer requires whole-body vibration sessions.
NOTICE FOR THE CONSUMER: CLASS ACTION
GET A REFUND FOR A LIGHT UNIT (BED/POD/PAD) THAT MISREPRESENTED ITS INTENSITY CLAIMS.
Companies are overstating diode output by more than five times the actual level. They measure under the plastic cover or use uncalibrated methods, such as solar power meters instead of red light meters. "The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers."
If your red light bed fails to deliver the advertised intensity, federal law (and often state laws) entitles you to a refund, financial compensation, or a return.
