Long-standing ache questions

What is a TDP heat lamp?

A TDP lamp uses a heated mineral plate to give off infrared and far-infrared warmth. It is used at home or in treatment rooms for deep, soothing warmth.

How long should a heat lamp session be?

Sessions typically run 15 to 30 minutes. Start shorter and follow the distance guide in the instructions.

Single or dual head lamp?

The single lamp suits one area at a time. The dual head lamp has two independently adjustable heads, for a wider area or two areas at once.

Do the lamps have a warranty?

Yes. Every Maxim TDP heat lamp comes with a 12-month warranty.
