- Published bands, not readings. Each count is the wavelengths the maker publishes, grouped into bands.
- Near-infrared cannot be seen. Light from 800 nm up is invisible, so a device can emit it without looking any brighter.
- A band is not a dose. Which wavelengths a device emits says nothing about how much light it delivers.
