How it scored
Verified Irradiance
10.0/10 · 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.
- +5Independently measured at 6 in A44 mW/cm² (GembaRed published third-party spectrometer data) - Irradiance is independently measured at a real 6-inch treatment distance, not a manufacturer surface reading.
- +3Effective irradiance in the studied range B44 mW/cm² at 6 in - Delivered irradiance at 6 in falls in the range used in most clinical studies (roughly 30-160 mW/cm²).
- +2Third-party test report published Aindependent test report - Publishes an independent test report rather than self-reported numbers.
Wavelengths
10.0/10 · 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.
- +2Additional studied wavelengths C830 nm - Adds further wavelengths with supporting literature.
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
7.0/10 · 20%Computed cost per treatment area vs the panel-size class median. The number brands do not put side by side.
- +5Cost per treatment area vs class A$0.43/cm² (below class median) - Price divided by emitting area, scored against the panel-size class median.
- +2Delivered-light value computable B$0.010/mW delivered - Because irradiance is given at a usable distance, real delivered light per dollar can be computed.
Build & Coverage
4.0/10 · 15%Treatment area, total power, warranty, and whether any FDA clearance is real (510(k)) vs a registration listing.
- +2Half-body coverage Bhalf-body panel - Covers a large area such as the torso or back.
- +2High total power B204 W - High total output supports larger coverage and shorter sessions.
What to know before buying
- · GembaRed publishes third-party measured irradiance (about 44 mW/cm² at 6 inches, 31 at 12 inches) and wavelengths of 630, 660, 830, and 850 nm.
- · Publishes a 0.9 percent flicker figure at 120 Hz and front-of-panel EMF readings near ambient at 6 inches; it has no timer or adjustable settings.
- · Weighs about 22 lbs, carries a 2-year limited warranty, and ships with a shielded power cord - but note the panel has shown as sold out / discontinued, so confirm availability.
FAQ
- Does the Reboot have a timer or adjustable settings?
- No. It is a single on/off panel with no timer; GembaRed instead publishes its fixed, independently measured irradiance and wavelength output.
- What does GembaRed disclose about flicker and EMF?
- It publishes a 0.9 percent flicker percentage at 120 Hz and front-of-panel EMF readings near ambient at 6 inches, which is unusually transparent for the category.
