### Understanding LED Wear & Used Red Light Beds (and Pads and Pods, on the same note)

Unlike traditional lights (or lasers), LEDs don’t “burn out” or suddenly fail. Instead, they gradually lose brightness over time. This phenomenon is known as **depreciating lumen**. This means a used red light bed may still function well but could require slightly longer session times to achieve the same results to make up for the lost lumens.

Every **used bed we sell is priced based on its age and actual irradiance**, measured against the manufacturer’s original specs. For example, if a bed originally had an irradiance of **65 mW/cm²** but now measures **52 mW/cm²**, that’s about a **20% reduction in power**.

### How We Price Used Beds, Pads and Pods

As a general rule, red light units (pods, pads, beds) **lose about 10% of their value per year**. If a $50,000 unit (say, bed) is **three years old** and has **20% lower irradiance**, its price is adjusted accordingly:
*30% depreciation for age**
*20% additional reduction for lower radiance**
**Final price: $28,000.**

However, this formula assumes **constant daily use**. Beds that were used less frequently may not experience the full 10% annual depreciation.

### It is Possible to Get an Even Bigger Discount?

Many clinics looking for a **quick sale** are willing to go **even lower than our standard pricing formula**.
