Has anyone read to see if near/far infra red light would work in a similar way as the LED lights in a helmet?

I'm just wondering if you don't really need the helmet to get the results.
If a correct light source is maybe just a lamp would work.??

I looked at these for my muscle pain and I did get a far infrared heating pad.
But I didn't study to see if something like this could apply to the brain.

anyway here's a few links -
