  • + Wavelengths: 8.0/10
  • + EMF & Flicker: 10.0/10

Watch-outs

  • No significant weaknesses flagged.

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

  • · Anyone comparing on real irradiance - this brand does not state a distance

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 A101 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 B101 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

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

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$0.50/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 B738 W - High total output supports larger coverage and shorter sessions.
  • +2Solid warranty B3-year warranty - Three-year or longer warranty.

What to know before buying

  • · A very large panel at roughly 71 x 24 inches with around 1200 LEDs at 660 and 850 nm, and one of the most expensive consumer panels.
  • · Includes a dimming feature plus adjustable NIR pulsing, a digital timer, and a remote control.
  • · Backed by a 3-year warranty and 60-day return; stands are sold separately (a non-motorized stand around $600 and a motorized one around $1200).

FAQ
