Frequently Asked Questions

Quite a lot, actually. The RX1 runs on roXiva's own SyncRX engine, which locks the light and music together with no drift and no latency, so every flash lands exactly where the session was designed to, every time. The lamp uses 16 high-power warm and cool white LEDs putting out over 20,000 lux when needed. All LEDs are UV-shielded and run on a clean 24V high-current supply so that the brightness and pulsing stay rock-solid even in the most complex sessions. On top of the hardware sit 180+ professionally choreographed and encrypted sessions, and settings like Night Mode for blue-light free evenings, a Group Mode, a PIN lock, and a Session Editor for building your own. It is less a flashing light and more a precision instrument, which is why owners tend to describe it as a category of its own rather than a better version of cheaper devices.

It fits anywhere people come to relax, reset or explore themselves. There are over 1,200 Roxiva RX1s in use across more than 40 countries, run by hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners, coaches and psychotherapists, float centres and wellness spas, retreat operators, breathwork facilitators, biohacking and performance clinics, and plenty of individual owners too. Some use it as their core offering, others alongside their one-to-one work, and some simply as a 'light and sound journey' people book purely for the experience. The short version: if you have a quiet room and clients who value their wellbeing, it earns its place.

A typical session runs around 20 to 40 minutes. So one to two clients an hour is comfortable. There is no real turnaround beyond allowing people to emerge at their own pace and choosing the next session for the next client. And because Roxiva has a Group Mode, several people can share the same session under one lamp, so retreats and group bookings can lift your numbers well beyond one-to-one. Plenty of owners slot it between their other appointments, which means it earns in the gaps rather than needing its own dedicated diary.

No formal certification is required to own and operate Roxiva. Every owner receives access to our private VIP owner platform, which contains extensive training modules, advanced techniques, session information, a growing knowledge base, and access to the wider owner community.

The more you understand the states Roxiva can help facilitate, the more value your clients are likely to gain from the experience.

In addition, your sales partner will serve as one of your mentors and points of contact, providing direct support, guidance, and insight as you develop your confidence and experience with the system.

Yes. If you would like to earn by introducing others to Roxiva, our Partner Programme pays a commission on referrals. It suits existing owners, practitioners and anyone with an audience who would genuinely benefit from the technology.

Not much. A room you can make reasonably dark and somewhere comfortable to sit or lie down. The lamp mounts on any standard camera tripod or a professional floor stand, and runs from a 24V international power supply, so it works anywhere in the world with no special wiring or installation. You control it either from the lamp's own display or wirelessly from the free roXiva Connect app on your phone. The sound comes via a 3.5mm headphone jack so we recommend high quality headphones. Or with a bit of guidance we can advise how you can play through a vibroacoustic system or external speakers. If you would rather keep your space free of wireless signals, Roxiva is fully self contained and can run with wireless turned off, for a clean EMF and RF-free session.

Yes. The sound comes out of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so as well as good headphones you can run it into external speakers or a full sound system if you would rather fill the room. If you own a vibroacoustic platform, Roxiva's audio can be used to extend the light and sound journey with vibroacoustics. In these contexts, elements of the sound are translated into a tactile component, introducing physical resonance alongside the visual and auditory experience. In other words you do not just see and hear the journey, you feel it through the body, which for many people deepens the immersion considerably. Tell us about your setup and we will talk you through the best way to connect it.

Every Roxiva comes with a 2-year warranty covering materials and workmanship, and the lamp is CE and FCC certified, so it meets international safety and electronics standards. Beyond the warranty, support is available with direct access to us, the owner community, and the VIP owner site full of guides and troubleshooting. We have been doing this a long time, and we also have plans in place for continued development.

Yes, and shipping is free. Roxiva is already in use in more than 40 countries. Delivery usually takes a few days once your order is confirmed. Customs and import duties may apply depending on your country, since those are set by your own government rather than by us, so it is worth checking your local rates before you order.

No., most sessions come pre-loaded with the lamp and new ones are added regularly at no extra cost. You can also upload your own music and layer it under any light session, and with the Session Editor you can design your own sessions from scratch for specific clients. So you can run a full, varied and even bespoke offering without paying anything extra month to month.

Just white light. Yes, all of the colours and patterns that you see are a result of your brains unique ability to create colour and form from frequency.
For some people the vividness of the colours is so remarkable that they can’t believe the light is just white.
Roxiva uses state of the art hardware and software to produce unparalleled patterns, shapes, and colours. And these combine with specific frequencies to give you access to beneficial states of mind and body.

The light is designed to work through closed eyelids. And one of the advantages of this is that closing your eyes is a natural trigger to start to relax and leave the outside world behind. It is also better for your eyes.

That depends on the session you choose. If you choose a subtle entrainment type session, what you see will be mild and relaxing pulses of light with some colour and subtle patterning. If you choose a more impactful session, you will see both kaleidoscopic type patterns, a little bit like spinning fractals and mandalas, and images from your memory. These combine to create unique and fully immersive sober psychedelic journeys that mimic psychedelic drugs like LSD and DMT. The light produces a layer of vividness and immersion that doesn’t exist in normal experience.

There are many, but the main benefits are the deep altered and expanded states of consciousness that people go into. Particularly states of deep relaxation combined with a sense of awe and wonder. This has a number of positive effects from mood enhancement and relief, to heightened creativity and spontaneous spiritual experiences. Using Roxiva in specific ways is a type of brain fitness and optimisation. The mind responds to ‘exercise’ just like the body does. There are sessions for specific purposes like deep relaxation or creative inspiration. And there are 'Sober psychedelic' trips that will take you on a journey of consciousness exploration. These types of session produce self generated ‘mind art’ combined with feelings of euphoria and rejuvenation.

Users have access to expanded states of consciousness and deep relaxation at the push of a button.

With Roxiva, you have full control over the intensity of your experience. It's important to note that you don't have to have a highly visual psychedelic type of journey if that's not your preference. We offer a wide range of sessions that cater to various needs, such as cognitive support, improved sleep, and nervous system balance among others. While words may fall short in describing the true essence of the experience, we invite you to join our vibrant community and personally witness why so many people are amazed and eager to be part of this transformative journey.

Most people feel something on the very first session, usually deep relaxation and a lighter, clearer mood afterwards. The bigger shifts tend to build with regular use., although they can be spontaneous and life changing even with just one session. A single strong session can stay with you for days. And a regular practice compounds, much like exercise., that becomes new habits and life choices.

Absolutely, there is no need to but this is a great way to enhance other practices. We have owners that combine Roxiva with hypnotherapy, float tanks, breathwork, sound healing, sports performance training, artistic and business creativity, and psychedelic therapy to name a few.

Anything beneficial that involves being in an optimal brain state to maximise it's potential., can be enhanced with Roxiva.

Yes. The main cautions around light are UV and blue light. Roxiva LED’s are UV shielded and the amount of blue light is less than most indoor lighting. Also, because they are seen through closed eyes, the eyelids filter out almost all blue light due to blue lights inability to penetrate more than about 1mm of skin.

It is safe for the vast majority of people, but there are a few cases where we ask you to check with a doctor first or sit it out: a history of epilepsy or seizures, pregnancy, certain heart conditions, photosensitivity or photosensitive medication, or being under the influence of alcohol or other substances. The pre-session safety questionnaire covers all of this, and you can stop the experience instantly at any moment. If you are unsure, ask your GP before your first session.

Completely legal and completely drug-free. Nothing enters your body and no substance is involved at any point. The sober psychedelic sessions can feel remarkably like a psychedelic journey, but every bit of it comes from light, sound and your own brain responding to frequency. It is a documented property of specific stroboscopic light patterns interacting with the visual cortex and deeper neural networks. You stay in control throughout: open your eyes and you are straight back in the room. That is part of why people love it, the depth of a psychedelic experience with none of the risk, illegality or comedown.

There is nothing to become physically dependent on, so no, it is not addictive. People come back because they enjoy it and feel better for it, which is the point. But you will not crave it or suffer without it. On medication: light and sound do not interact with drugs the way another substance would, but some medications raise your sensitivity to light or lower the seizure threshold, so if you take regular prescribed medication, check with your doctor first. It is on the safety questionnaire for exactly that reason.

The big advantage with Roxiva is that the experience can be stopped instantly. However, people under 18 are not recommended to use Roxiva without doctor approval for safety reasons (and parents are informed and physically present during the session). This is because although the technology is likely to be beneficial for them too, there is a slightly higher chance of overstimulation or the inability to emotionally, intellectually and symbolically deal with the experience afterwards.

There is only so far that science can go to answer this question before the 'magic' of an experience that moves you, and disconnects you from the noise of the outside world, takes over.

Having spent many years researching and advising people on what brainwave entrainment (BWE) and audio visual entrainment (AVE) can and cannot do, it should come as no surprise that we have been asked some pretty unusual questions.

We’ve also seen some dubious and sometimes even immoral claims by supposedly reputable companies. ALL results are possible., and some of them are probable. For example.., it is true to say that learning to relax and enter expanded states of consciousness more easily and profoundly can and will positively effect EVERY area of your life. It is the same reason why a meditation practice is often attributed to benefits physically and mentally for almost any challenge or condition. And Roxiva gives you meditation at the push of a button!

Have we seen miraculous results beyond the expected ones? Yes.

Will everyone get those miraculous results? No.

There are certain results that almost everyone WILL get. And that is why the majority of people who invest in this technology do so. And there is research to back those uses up.

When you first start it is natural to want to try everything. And although there is nothing inherently wrong with this, like anything., too much use can lead to mild discomfort or desensitization. This will pass. Some people can use it more than others and this depends on a number of factors like how stimulated you already are, existing stressors and what you start with as a goal. Always seek medical advice if you feel unwell for a long period of time. The time of day will depend on the goal. For example a stimulating session in the morning can set you up for a creative day.

Most successful results with this technology use a protocol of 3 or more times per week for about 4 weeks with the same type of session.

That doesn’t mean that less than that or even just one session cannot cause lasting benefit. It can and does happen that fast sometimes.

But you wouldn’t meditate once and declare yourself enlightened would you.
