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.
