Best Red Light Panel for Verified Irradiance

This list excludes any panel that quotes irradiance with no usable distance (the surface-reading trick). Every panel here either states its irradiance at 6 inches or more, or has an independent measurement at 6 inches.

How we score: We require a usable, at-distance irradiance figure (manufacturer at 6 in or independent measurement), then rank by composite.
