Wavelength mix
A better panel clearly states which red and near-infrared peaks it uses.
How to Choose a Red Light Therapy Panel
A stronger panel decision starts with what you want to treat. Once the use case is clear, buyers should compare wavelength mix, irradiance at distance, panel size, and whether the brand explains the numbers honestly.
Quick answer
- Choose panel size by treatment area, not by marketing ambition.
- Look for believable irradiance at a usable distance, not only the biggest number on the spec sheet.
- Prioritize wavelength disclosure, comfort, and transparency before extra features.
What to compare first
Irradiance at distance
The useful number is what the panel can deliver in a setup you would actually use.
Panel size
A compact panel and a larger panel solve different coverage problems.
Comfort and transparency
Brightness comfort, noise, and honest specs matter more than premium-sounding labels.
