To get a feel for the problem:
- about 10% of the energy of the sun's radiation is contained in wavelengths above 1072nm;
- the spectrum of the radiation from a halogen lamp has a maximum close to 1072nm;
- a TV remote uses a 940nm LED - on ebay you can get 10 for a pound;
- a 1310nm led, £33 ebay.
- a 1070nm led, £15, Thorlabs
- I cannot find any work linking 1072nm to alpha-synuclein.

I will get you the research on 1072 in a bit. Can you provide a link to the 1070nm LED with the price? I would not have the slightest clue as to how to go about making such a helmet... would you?
Edit: Is this the LED you're talking about? I don't have the technical background to know whether or not this would be the same type of LED used in the study:
