1. A low-level light therapy system, comprising:
an article of apparel that absorbs an incident spectrum including one or more of a UV wavelength, a visible wavelength, and a near infrared wavelength and emits light having an emission spectrum including one or more of visible light radiation and near infrared radiation,
wherein the article of apparel is electrically passive,
wherein the light having an emission spectrum including one or more of visible light radiation and near infrared radiation is emitted from the article of apparel in a direction toward a mammalian body wearing the article of apparel, and
wherein the emission spectrum includes one or more of a first peak between 700 nm and 800 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 100 nm to 150 nm and a second peak between 800 nm and 900 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 100 nm to 150 nm.
