Man first used wood for fire, progressed to cooking meat and from this discovered that fat made the fire burn even more fiercely.
Moulding fat into a shape with a burning wick created the first 'constant' light
- the candle (from the strength of which we still measure the
degree of light intensity - candle power)
With the creation of glass, the flame was enclosed and became the lantern.
The first real understanding of what light was came from Sir Isaac Newton
in 1686 when he demonstrated how white light was actually made up of colours when split by the facets of a crystal or prism.
It was only160 years ago that electricity was first created and from this, less than 100 years ago came the incandescant bulb (Edison), flourescent and neon gas tubes.
Modern vehicles use the Halogen bulb in headlights - our most efficient form of white light - an electric filament burning in an active gas.

During the second World War Germany pioneered the investigation into
using concentrated light beams as a weapon.

By the late 1960's there had been an enormous amount of research into LIGHT and an understanding that it was a series of 'photons' travelling in waves.
The actual wave lengths could be measured and by isolating a single wavelength and amplifying it (speeding it up) a very powerful beam could be created.

This
Light Amplified Stimulated Emmission Radiation is what we know today as the LASER.
This single colour (monochromatic) wavelength could be manipulated in many ways
and we now have low power light waves that read CD's, measure distance and are even used for eye, dental and beauty treatments.
Within the Medical realm it was soon appreciated that Lasers could play a role in surgery and commercial medical models began to appear in the 1970's.
They were used to cauterize blood vessels, incise tumours and by the mid 80's were beginning to find a major role in surgery.
In 1981 a team of Hungarian physicists working with Medical Lasers began to wonder about the possibility of including all the wave-lengths.
Marta Fenyo is generally credited with the invention of the first Linear Polarised light that produces all the colours in focussed beams.
In effect a soft laser using ALL of the colour spectrum
Unlike the Laser, this new light emitted the photons of light at their own natural
speed and because the wave-lengths of each colour are at different speeds the light is termed 'incoherent'. It also contained no heat because the Ultra Violet
waves are filtered out, leaving only the colour spectrum of energy waves.
And so the Bioptron came into being about 1986
The
Biological Polarised Electrons.
The most important aspect of the Bioptron is that the energy waves are
polarised or concentrated into a beam with the ability to
penetrate through the skin into the cells themselves
.
Medical & Scientific studies have proved conclusively that the energy waves of colour stimulate mental and cellular activity in humans, animals and plants.
Something even the caveman knew by instinct as he huddled around a fire
and watched the
red, orange and yellow flames.

We all know how important natural light is to our well being, but many of us
have only a faint knowledge of it's actions on our body and how it affects us as a cellular structure.

IN THE BEGINNING
There has always been night and day.
At night it was dark, cold and unfriendly - a condition which exists to this day.
From the dawn of mankind there has been a need to stay warm and
to create artificial light to counter the uncertainty of darkeness.

It has taken mankind thousands of centuries to advance beyond the most
basic forms of heating & lighting but only in the modern and affluent socities.
