Watch-outs

  • - Verified Irradiance: 0.0/10
  • - Value: 0.0/10
  • - Irradiance is claimed with no usable distance (commonly measured at the panel surface), which is not a verifiable performance number.
  • - Markets 'FDA registered/listed', which is a listing, not an FDA clearance.

Who it is for

  • · Anyone wanting whole-body sessions in one go
  • · People sensitive to EMF or flicker

Who should skip it

  • · Anyone comparing on real irradiance - this brand does not state a distance
  • · Buyers who think 'FDA registered' means cleared - it does not
  • · Value-focused buyers - it scores poorly on what we can verify

How it scored

Verified Irradiance

0.0/10 · 30%

Power density at a real treatment distance. Independent measurement at 6 in is prized; a number with no stated distance is not a usable spec.

  • ·Irradiance claim has no usable distance A142 mW/cm² (no stated distance) - A power-density number with no stated distance, or measured at 0 in, cannot be compared and is not credited.

Wavelengths

8.0/10 · 20%

Delivery of the clinically studied red (660 nm) and near-infrared (850 nm) bands.

  • +3Red 660 nm present A660 nm - Includes the 660 nm red band used in skin and surface studies.
  • +3Near-infrared 850 nm present A850 nm - Includes the 850 nm near-infrared band used in deeper-tissue studies.
  • +2Dual red + near-infrared B660 + 850 nm - Combines red and near-infrared, the most studied pairing.

EMF & Flicker

10.0/10 · 15%

Low EMF at the treatment distance and freedom from visible flicker / ripple.

  • +6Low EMF at treatment distance Bnear background at 6 in - Electromagnetic field is at or near background at the treatment distance.
  • +4Flicker-free operation Bno measurable flicker - Runs without visible flicker or significant ripple.

Value

0.0/10 · 20%

Computed cost per treatment area vs the panel-size class median. The number brands do not put side by side.

  • 0Cost per treatment area vs class A$0.62/cm² (above class median (expensive per area)) - Price divided by emitting area, scored against the panel-size class median.

Build & Coverage

5.0/10 · 15%

Treatment area, total power, warranty, and whether any FDA clearance is real (510(k)) vs a registration listing.

  • +3Full-body coverage Bfull-body panel - Large enough to treat the full body in one session.
  • +2High total power B1000 W - High total output supports larger coverage and shorter sessions.
  • ·FDA-registered only (not cleared) Aregistration listing, no clearance - Markets an FDA registration/listing, which is paperwork, not an FDA clearance of effectiveness.

What to know before buying

  • · Bon Charge headlines a surface irradiance over 142 mW/cm² measured at the panel face, not at a distance, across 200 LEDs at 660 and 850 nm.
  • · Comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty and a 30-day return window.
  • · Ships with a door mount, steel cables, and an adjustable pulley but no floor or wheeled stand, so full-body use generally requires door or wall mounting.

FAQ

Does the Full Body Max come with a stand?
No. It includes door-mount hardware and a pulley for hanging, but Bon Charge does not offer a floor stand for it.
Is the 142 mW/cm² figure measured at a distance?
No. Bon Charge lists it as a surface measurement at the panel face, not at a treatment distance, so it is not comparable to at-distance numbers.
