Donate Your Red Light Therapy Device

Have an old, unused, or retired red light therapy panel, mask, wand, or handheld device? Submit it for possible donation and give working photobiomodulation equipment a second life through hands-on testing, reviews, and educational content.

Give Your Old Red Light Therapy Device a Second Life

RedLightTherapy.com is an independent research and review site for red and near-infrared light therapy devices, made possible through donations and affiliate programs.

Testing red light devices properly isn’t cheap, and honest comparisons mean measuring irradiance and build quality across brands rather than relying on manufacturer claims. Donations let us cover the panels, masks, wraps, and handhelds people are actually asking about, including older or discontinued models still in use today.

The red light therapy market moves fast. Panel LED counts and wavelength blends evolve every year, masks have gone from novelty to mainstream skincare, and cheap handhelds keep flooding online marketplaces with unverified claims. Older devices are surprisingly valuable to us: they let us document how irradiance, beam angle, flicker, and build quality have actually improved, or regressed, across generations.

Submitting the form below doesn’t guarantee a device will be accepted. We evaluate each offer against what we’re currently researching, the safety of the unit, and our storage and testing capacity. If it’s a good fit, we’ll email shipping instructions. If it isn’t, we’ll let you know so you can find another home for it.

If you have an old, unused, or retired red light therapy device in your home, we would love the chance to put it to good use. Through this page, you can submit a device for possible donation to the RedLightTherapy.com team. Click “Submit a Device” or scroll down to complete the form.

What we can't accept

We are not a recycling center

We currently do not have the facilities or resources to act as an electronics recycling drop-off point. If your device is broken beyond repair, contaminated, leaking, or otherwise unsafe, please contact a certified e-waste or medical-device recycler in your area instead of shipping it to us.

Submit Your Red Light Therapy Device for Donation

Fill out the form below with as much detail as you can, and add clear photos if possible. We can only accept safe, working equipment, and submitting the form does not guarantee acceptance. Please review the full donation guidelines further down this page before sending your device.

*Completing and submitting the donation form does not guarantee that your device will be accepted. We review each submission individually based on the type of equipment, its condition, and whether it is useful for testing or content at the time. We will follow up by email to let you know whether we would like to move forward, along with the next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get anything in return for donating my red light device?

Donations are non-commercial. We don’t pay for devices, offer discounts, or provide tax receipts. Where relevant, donors may be credited in the resulting article by name or first name only, at their request.

No. Even accepted devices may not become their own review — they might appear in a comparison, a category overview, or an educational piece. Editorial decisions depend on how the device fits our current research.

Sometimes. Partially working or dead units can still be useful for build-quality inspection, LED failure analysis, or category history — as long as they’re safe to handle. Please describe the fault on the form so we can decide before you ship.
Assume that any device you send us is a permanent donation. We don’t maintain a returns program.

Please email us first before shipping bulk equipment. We can only accept what we have the space and time to properly evaluate.
