Does the BIOMAX 900 have selectable wavelengths?

Yes. The 3rd-generation BIOMAX panels use a multi-wavelength array spanning red and near-infrared, with a separately controlled blue/480 nm option that can be turned off.

What is the return policy?

PlatinumLED allows returns within 60 days, but a 20 percent restocking fee may apply.

Bottom line

In our scoring, PlatinumLED BIOMAX 900 earns 7.9 out of 10 (Strong). Independent testing puts its irradiance at about 90 mW/cm2 at a 6 inch treatment distance, below its 135 mW/cm2 headline, so judge it on the measured figure. It rates highest on wavelengths (10.0/10). Note that it is FDA registered, not 510(k) cleared. This is informational only, not medical advice.

Our take

PlatinumLED BIOMAX 900 scores well overall, at 7.9 out of 10. It is strongest on Wavelengths (10.0/10). Key flag: Markets 'FDA registered/listed', which is a listing, not an FDA clearance.

Watch-outs

- Markets 'FDA registered/listed', which is a listing, not an FDA clearance.

Who it is for

· Anyone wanting whole-body sessions in one go
· 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

8.0/10 · 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 A90 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 B90 mW/cm² at 6 in - Delivered irradiance at 6 in falls in the range used in most clinical studies (roughly 30-160 mW/cm²).

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

4.5/10 · 20%

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

+2.5Cost per treatment area vs class A$0.47/cm² (near class median) - Price divided by emitting area, scored against the panel-size class median.
+2Delivered-light value computable B$0.005/mW delivered - Because irradiance is given at a usable distance, real delivered light per dollar can be computed.

Build & Coverage

7.0/10 · 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 B300 W - High total output supports larger coverage and shorter sessions.
+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

· Comes with a 3-year warranty and a 60-day return period that carries a 20 percent restocking fee.
· LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours; the panel is an FDA Class II registered (not cleared) device with ETL/UL, CE, and RoHS marks.
· Fan noise has been measured around 49 dB and is one of the more common owner complaints.
