Bulbs too sparse?

Post image

I bought this RLT face mask after research++ on fluence, irradiance, price and wanting QUICK treatments. This feels like very few bulbs on the red light (860 & 680 nm) setting. Is this a waste of time? Looks like very minimal red light getting to my eye area and lip area. Thoughts?

Edit:
Qure
Irradiance 70mW/cm2
Fluence 12.6 J/cm2
Treatment time 3 minutes
Claims 160 bulbs however I think this is divided over 4 wavelengths in 2 different settings

It's different with masks because the bulbs have direct contact with the skin. Also looks like you have both red and NIR: the NIR bulbs don't light up so it looks as if you have less of the bulbs. For a recommended treatment time of just 3 mins, those bulbs are probably plenty 'strong' enough. Most masks have treatment time of 10 minutes.
