PlatinumLED BIOMAX 300
A high-output seven-wavelength panel with independently measured 70 mW/cm² at 6 inches, marketed as FDA-registered.
By the RecoveryScored editorial team · Reviewed 2026-05-30
Bottom line
In our scoring, PlatinumLED BIOMAX 300 earns 7.5 out of 10 (Strong). Independent testing puts its irradiance at about 70 mW/cm2 at a 6 inch treatment distance, below its 124 mW/cm2 headline, so judge it on the measured figure. It rates highest on verified irradiance (10.0/10). Note that it is FDA registered, not 510(k) cleared. This is informational only, not medical advice.
Our take
PlatinumLED BIOMAX 300 scores well overall, at 7.5 out of 10. It is strongest on Verified Irradiance (10.0/10) and weakest on Value (2.0/10). Key flag: Markets 'FDA registered/listed', which is a listing, not an FDA clearance. Confidence is Partial: specs are web-sourced, not yet reconfirmed from a primary source.

Who it is for
- · Large-area treatment (back, torso) without a full tower
- · Buyers who want a verifiable dose (irradiance is given at a real distance)
- · People sensitive to EMF or flicker
Who should skip it
- · Buyers who think 'FDA registered' means cleared - it does not
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 A70 mW/cm² (Light Therapy Insiders) - Irradiance is independently measured at a real 6-inch treatment distance, not a manufacturer surface reading.
- +3Effective irradiance in the studied range B70 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 C810, 830, 1060 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
2.0/10 · 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$0.60/cm² (above class median (expensive per area)) - Price divided by emitting area, scored against the panel-size class median.
- +2Delivered-light value computable B$0.009/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.
- +2Solid warranty B3-year warranty - Three-year or longer warranty.
- ·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
- · The smallest BIOMAX panel at about 19 x 9 x 3 inches; independent testing (Light Therapy Insiders) measured about 70 mW/cm² at 6 inches, below the brand's at-distance claim.
- · Includes a 3-year warranty and a 60-day return period that may carry a 20 percent restocking fee.
- · Uses the six-wavelength BIOMAX array and is sold as an FDA Class II registered (not cleared) device.
FAQ
- What mounting accessories are available?
- PlatinumLED sells a tabletop/floor stand, an adjustable desk-mount arm, and wall brackets, all separately.
- Does the 300 share wavelengths with the larger BIOMAX panels?
- Yes. All 3rd-generation BIOMAX panels use the same six-wavelength configuration; the 300 mainly differs in size, LED count, and coverage area.
