14. Saving Energy with Spectrum Infrared's Far Infrared Technology
The sun, which is the world's oldest source of infrared heating, emits a wide radiant spectrum. It ranges
from the safe far infrared warmth, to dangerous and damaging ultraviolet wavelengths. The sun's rays
travel a great distance through space without requiring a medium to transmit its energy.
Spectrum Infrared's far infrared (FIR) radiant heating technology operates in the healthy and
therapeutic "long wavelength" part of the sun's emission spectrum (7,000 to 10,000nm, or 7
to10µ).
Far infrared can be found just outside of the visible light spectrum on the RHS of the picture below.
IR is safe non-ionizing radiation. The rays to the LHS of visible light rainbow banding – UV, X rays,
Gamma rays and Cosmic rays are dangerous ionizing radiation.
