IR watt?

Hi everyone.

I’ll buy an IR lamp and try to use it while i’m doing stretching and jelq.The question is about the power of the lamp,so how much of it needs my penis?

I find a good one for a good price and the lamp power is 100 W,is that enough?

If you use an IR lamp,how is yours?

Mine has 100W and it’s working fine. I adjust the heat with the distance, and it has to be rather close but not too close.

How much distance do you keep between the lamp and penis?

I’d have to measure, you’ll now when it’s too close, trust me :)

Invest in some tanning bed goggles. Extended exposure to IR lamps of any sort can damage your eyes. That radiation is good for the body but not good for the tissues of the eyes.

But i will watch only my penis.Is dangerous even if i don’t watch the lamp directly? Because a lot of people use it.

I’ll say this again. Infrared Radiation is dangerous to the tissues of the eye. Just because you don’t feel it doesn’t mean it’s not an issue. They are your eyes. This is my warning. I don’t care who or how many people use it without goggles. It’s best with eye protection.

Ok,now i understand.

There are some other device (more common) to use to fix that problem?

Thanks for the advice.

This warning got me curious because I have a Far infra red heating panel to heat my living room.

That link describes injury from focused IR lasers. Just don’t look directly at the IR lamp for prolonged periods. It is bright like a mini sun, you naturally look away from it in a split second if your gaze happens to fall in its direction. It won’t damage your eye unless you stare at it against that natural reflex.

I have a 200 W or 250 W bulb, I forget which, and keep it about half a meter to a meter away, depending how warm I want it. It’s also under my desk to shield my eyes.

I like it just fine, but I would choose a 150 W if I were replacing the bulb some day.

I rigged mine up with a switch for intermittent heat, but I think with a 150 W bulb I could just leave it on nonstop for the workout. The 250 W bulb I have to switch it off occasionally, it gets too hot. Kind of like getting up from the fire for a while, or taking a break from the hot tub for a few minutes.

glasses are necessary? what type?

I use a IR lamp of 150 facing my penis.

Thanks Dragon,so i think 100W could heat my penis well and for the entire session no-stop,maybe keeping the lamp a little closer to the body than you with a 200-250W.

Guys,how do you protect testicles from IR?

Aren’t IR dangerous for them?

First: I also use 100 Watts, fine with it.
No, IR is just low energy light (long wavelength, low energy). It doesn’t penetrate the skin, but the heat can have temporary adverse effects on the sperm production.
