using the MOSRED - monitor arm!

[AndyJ]

I read the threads here, and Lightning kindly provided links to an nih.gov paper, and I browsed articles on the web. I was willing to give "red light therapy" a try. As RLT illuminators go, the MOSRED is a good value for the money, but the boxy shape didn't look practical for how I normally do PE, which is in the comfort of my bed.

There's a shelf next to the bed. I have a $20 "architect lamp" clamped to it for use with an infrared heating lamp, but the MOSRED doesn't screw into a bulb socket, and would likely be far too heavy anyway. Until this morning, when I realized that one of those articulated computer monitor arms is essentially the same thing, except they can take the weight of a monitor. They wouldn't even notice a MOSRED.

If you find a really old monitor arm on eBay, it's a metal tray that a CRT sits on. You could attach the MOSRED to the bottom with double sticky tape. Or even better, sticky-back Velcro. Newer monitor arms for flatscreens have a vertical plate that has four screws to attach it to the monitor. There are two "VESA standard" bolt patterns, large and small. Arms are normally drilled for both. You'd need an angle bracket of some sort to hold the MOSRED pointing down. It could be bent from sheet metal or 3D printed.

Anyway, with a monitor arm you could kick back on your bed, recliner, or sofa, pull the MOSRED into position like a surgeon's lamp in an old movie, and not worry about propping the box up somehow so it shines in the right place and doesn't fall over.

An adapter bracket might be a worthwhile addition to the MOS product line.

I too mostly am concerned about the positioning of the mos red. I've been off and on debating of buying one. I too, want to use red when I'm laying down in bed. The best thing I could think of was just to basically lay it between my legs pointing at my dick. I don't know if that would have been effective enough. But then again it usually only takes 10 minutes or so to use the red, that's not so long of a period to stand up to make sure you're getting a good angle.

I hear you and that sounds like a really good idea. I will tag @Lightning to read.
