Best Red Light Therapy Panel 2024? EPIC Comparison

Behind me, I have 17 red light therapy panels, and what I'm going to be doing is comparing all of these panels across eight different categories to determine which one is the best red light therapy wall panel for 2024. It's going to be crazy! We're going to look at price, power, wavelengths, EMF, sound levels, operations, things I like, and things I don't like. You see, I have used and reviewed all of these panels individually, so I know what's good about them and what sucks. I've been doing this for a long time, and I can't wait to share all my thoughts and feedback. Be sure to stick around until the end of the video because not only will I be announcing the winner, but I will also be doing some special award winners because the perfect panel for me may be very different from the perfect panel for you. Strap yourself in; this is going to be exciting!

Okay, so here in round one, what I'm looking at is LED count and the width—the distance between the LEDs and the panel, not the panel width, but the LED width. The more LEDs you're getting and the wider those LEDs are spaced out, the better the light coverage on the body, which is what you want when you're buying a panel: a large treatment area.

All right, let's bring up the results of round one. In last place, we have the Infar Pro Max and the Juve Solo. Now, what's interesting is Juve has been around for a long time, and so has Infar. Infar actually placed third in my last comparison series, so I am excited to see how the new panel goes. Juve, on the other hand, hasn't been updated, so this is the same panel that was in that last series, but they're off to a bad start. The reason why both of these panels only have 150 LEDs is that they're quite narrow, measuring only 6.61 inches across.

In 15th place, we have the CYO LED Triplex. Now, this panel was also used in my last comparison series, and it hasn't been updated—210 LEDs and just under 7 inches across. Then we have four panels that came in at 11th place; they range from about 200 to 230 LEDs and are all about 7 or 7.5 inches across: Mito Light Biohacker 4.0. This is a new panel from a company based in Europe, and a lot of people have said good things about it, so it's going to be great to see how it plays out. Carla Elite is a Canadian company, and I'm really excited to have this panel in my series. Gimber Overclocked is the latest panel from Gimber; this company has also featured in my series before. Boncharge Hive Max is an Australian company, and this particular panel was also in my last series.

In 10th place, we had the Huga Ultra 1500, a brand new panel with 300 LEDs, which is great; however, it's only 7 inches across. In ninth place, we have the Red Therapy Co. Red Rush 840 Pulse—280 LEDs, just under 8 inches across. In eighth place, we have the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500 X. Now, Mito Red Light actually placed first in my last comparison series. The 1500X is their new-gen panel, just released just in time for this series. I'm really excited to see if they can defend their position, but they're not off to the greatest start with an eighth place. They have 300 LEDs, which is great, but they were let down by the width; they're only 7.6 inches across.

Now we have six panels in second place; all of these panels had 300 LEDs, and they were all over 9.5 inches across. These are typically what I refer to as a 12-inch panel; that is because it's 12 inches from the outside edge of the middle to the outside edge to the middle, but you're only really getting about 9.5 inches of light coverage. Still, though, they're all doing really, really well. So, working from the bottom up, we have the SE Loic P500, a Chinese company shipping internationally. Then we have the Rier G3 Pro; this is Rouge's new panel that I reviewed in 2023. Then we have the Roo Therapy Refined 900; this panel has just been released by an Australian company shipping internationally. It's only the second-generation panel because the company has only been running for a year. It looks really, really good and could do well in this series—one to watch. Then we have the Platinum LED BOMX 900. Now, this is a panel that has been around for a long time; it is always doing well in reviews and comparisons. It won my first comparison series in 2019. The last one I used was the smaller BX 600, and I placed a very close sixth in it. It's going to be interesting to see how the 900 does in this series.

The final two in second place were the IDU Lighting 1500; this is actually an Alibaba Chinese company. I purchased it directly through Alibaba and did a review on that. They have a really great price. The final company was Block Blue Light Mega Fourth Gen. Now, this is another new company to my red light therapy series. The fourth-gen panel was just released in late 2023 and looks really great on paper. I mean, it's off to a great start here, so this is another company to watch.

So that leaves us in first place with the Light Path LED Diesel XL Shorty 2.0. Now, this panel only had 254 LEDs, so a little bit less than some of the second-place getters, but it was super wide—12.72 inches across—and that's why it came out number one. That extra width means you can use that panel and know you're going to get a really wide coverage of light. Sure, it's not doing the full body, but it's going to hit from nipple to nipple, shoulder to shoulder, depending on your frame size.

So that's the results from the first round. I am affiliated with a lot of red light therapy companies, including most of the companies behind me. That means if you buy any of these panels and you use my discount code or the discount link, all of which will be below, you'll get a discount. I'll also get a commission. Now, I've been reviewing and experimenting with red light therapy panels for years now. This is what I do; it's what the channel is about. I'm very passionate about it; I know it works, and I want to help you guys get the best deals. But whether I'm affiliated with the company or not does not impact how I've done this comparison series and the information I've provided you.

Okay, so now in this round, we're looking at power output. I measure these numbers using my spectrometer. I take nine different readings and get an average at 6 inches; it gives me a pretty accurate way to measure how much light, how much therapeutic red light is being emitted from a panel. The more power, the more light energy going into the body, but also the deeper it's going to penetrate. Some people don't like this, but you can stand further away from the panel to reduce the energy heading into the body, and a lot of panels have the ability to regulate or to reduce the intensity as well. So for those reasons, I simply ranked the panels that are putting out the most energy at the top and the weaker ones at the bottom.

In 17th place, we have the Bond Charge Hive Max at 31 mW/cm². In 16th place, Gimber Red Overclock at 38 mW/cm². 15th place, the Alibaba panel at 45 mW/cm². 14th was the CYO LED Triplex at 54 mW/cm². 13th place was the Light Path LED Diesel with 56 mW/cm². Juve Solo came in at 12th place with 59 mW/cm². The Mito Light Biohacker 4.0 at 66 mW/cm² in 11th place.

Now, in ninth place, we have two panels: the SE Loic P500 and the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500 X. Both of them had 68 mW/cm². Now, I'll just stop it there real quick. I just need to point out that all of these panels are going to put out a therapeutic, decent amount of red light, okay? It's not like any of these panels aren't working. Even the Bond Charge Hive Max at 31, you're going to get a benefit; it's just not going to be the best if you want shorter treatment times or you want deeper penetrating light.

Okay, let's do the remaining eight panels. So in eighth place, we had the Infar Pro Max at 72 mW/cm². Now, these numbers are getting up there; these are decent figures. I mean, it's comparable to the top three rankings in my last comparison, and we're only in eighth place. In seventh place, the Roo Therapy Refined 900. In sixth place, the Red Therapy Co. Red Rush 840 at 76.6 mW/cm². In fifth place, the Rouge Kia G3 Pro with 81 mW/cm². In fourth place, the Huga Ultra 1500 at 82 mW/cm².

That leaves the final three. In third place, we have the Carla Elite at 84 mW/cm². In second place, we have the new Block Blue Light Mega 4.0 with a whopping 87 mW/cm². And that leaves us in first place with the Platinum LED BOMX 900. This is the 8th Gen 2024 Edition with a crazy 90 mW/cm² of red light therapy at 6 inches. So if you want a panel with plenty of power, look at that table. Anything over, say, 80 is exceptionally high in my books, so you got a bunch of options.

All right, so now we've got the points for round two. What we can do is add them all together, and we can do our overall standings after two rounds. Let's have a look at that. So what's interesting here is Platinum LED has moved to the top of the table with 30.5 points. Right behind them, remaining in second place, is the Block Blue Light Mega, only one point behind. Rouge Care is in third place, Rapy in fourth, and Light Path LED has dropped down four positions into fifth place. When we look at the defending champ, they dropped two places and are down into 10th place.

This comparison is quite subjective. I do my best to come up with hard numbers when it comes to making the measurements and the rankings, but at the end of the day, I'm the one coming up with the scoring system and the categories, so what I find here, you may not agree with.

Okay, so with round three, my goal here is to reward a panel that's putting out a wide range of therapeutic wavelengths and also emitting that light in a nice blended and balanced way. So I actually break this round into five scoring parts. I look at how many wavelengths it's emitting; the more wavelengths, the better. I'm looking at whether it has 810 and 1060 nm infrared light because I personally really like that. I think there is a lot of great research behind 810, and I think it is a game changer when it comes to red light therapy. So if a panel has 810 nm in it, it's given the point.

Next, I look at whether it has multi-chip lenses. Now, earlier I talked about LED count; technically, I'm looking at the LED bulb or the LED lens that you see. But when you dive in deeper into that LED, there will be a chip in there. Traditionally, panels use single-chip LEDs, and we still see that with some panels today, but now we're seeing panels that are squeezing multiple chips in there—two, three, even four chips. What this means is you're going to get a much better blend of light coming from the panel.

Now, it's somewhat controversial because with the power that these panels are putting out, you can actually stand further away from the panel, and that light's going to blend naturally anyway. So I wanted to reward panels that are using multi-chip technologies. By the way, if you want to geek out deep into how I score it and the exact definitions and all that sort of jazz, head over to the blog article or be sure to subscribe because I will be publishing an extended cut with commentary version of this video series where I explain things in more detail.

I'm also looking at whether the panel has any unique wavelengths—wavelengths that we haven't seen in panels before. They get points if they do. And then finally, I'm looking at the blend of light—how the power in the panel is spread across those wavelengths. If 98% of the energy is going to one wavelength and then the remaining 2% is split between four wavelengths, it may look good on paper, but realistically, it's not going to be great. So I reward panels that have a nice blend of light here as well.

Okay, so knowing all of that, here was the outcome for this round. In last place, which worked out to be 12th place, we have six panels. All of these panels get 3.5 series points. The reason why they placed last is that they only emit 660 and 850 nm. There's nothing special going on here; they're just what I guess you could call old-school red light therapy panels. Now, it's important to note that these panels aren't bad; you're still going to get a therapeutic dose of light. It's just that there are panels out there now that have improved. A couple of years ago, panels like this were all you could get, so if you have one of these panels or you're going to get one of these panels for other reasons, don't feel like you're buying a lemon because that's not the case.

When we move up to 11th place, we see the Bond Charge Hive Max. This has Geor up LEDs, so it gets a point there. In 10th place, we have the SE Loic P500; this has a couple of wavelengths in it. Now we're up to eighth place. Here we have the Gimber Overclocked and the Infar Pro Max. The Gimber Overclock is putting out a bunch of wavelengths—810 nm and a good blend of light. Then the Infar Pro Max, on the other hand, doesn't have as many wavelengths, but it is dual-chip and has a good blend of light.

Okay, so in sixth place, we have the Platinum LED BOMX 900. Now, this is quite a unique panel; it has seven different wavelengths, so it's getting three points here. It does have a 10 nm light, so it's getting the point for that round, but it doesn't have multi-chip lenses. It's still using the older single-chip lenses. PL stay; it doesn't really matter. It's such a high-powered device. If you stand 12 inches from the panel, you're going to get a good blend of light, but it means in my scoring, it's not getting a point. However, the BOMX 900 does have two unique wavelengths: it's got blue light in there, which is great for skin health and acne, and it also has 1060 nm infrared light. Now, we've been looking into this, and it is quite an exciting wavelength. I'll put a link below to an article explaining the benefits of 1060 nm light, but yeah, no other panels have these two wavelengths, so it's picking up two points here.

Finally, it doesn't get any points in the wavelength power segment. This is because the majority of the energy in the BX 900 is going to 660 and 850 nm light, the two more traditional wavelengths. So yes, there are five other wavelengths in the panel, but they're not getting a heap of energy allocated to these wavelengths. This is a big reason why it came in at sixth place, but because it does have so many wavelengths at 810, it did do better than a lot of the competitors.

Okay, so that leaves us with six panels who ended up in first place for this round: the Block Blue Light Mega 4.0, the Huga Ultra 1500, Light Path LED Diesel XL, Mito Light Biohacker 4.0, Roo Therapy Refined 900, and the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500 X. Now, what's interesting here is all of these panels use a 10 nm light; they all have multi-chip technology, and they also have a nice blend, a nice spread of power going to all their wavelengths. But there are still unique variances between these panels. Block Blue Light, Mito Light, Roo Therapy, and Mito Light all have at least five wavelengths, whereas Huga and Light Path LED don't.

Another big difference is in the multi-chip section. Now, the same five panels that all had five wavelengths are only using dual-chip lenses, whereas the Light Path LED Diesel actually uses triple-chip lenses, and then the Huga Ultra 1500 has quadruple-chip lenses, which is quite extraordinary. And then when we look at the unique segment, we see that Mito Red Light picked up a point here. This is because the new 1500 X actually uses 590 nm amber light. This was quite a surprising addition; however, we have been looking through the research, and it is a very credible and exciting wavelength, so Mito Red Light picked up a point here.

Okay, so now that we have the points from that round, let's add them to the table and see how the panels are doing overall. So what's interesting is Block Blue Light is back in the top spot, and Platinum LED has dropped down to second spot. So still very close; even in the top three, there's only a couple of points between them, and we're not even halfway through the series yet. Roo Therapy has moved up one into third place, Light Path LED and Huga are both up one, and Rouge Care has dropped down a couple of places because they're only using the 660 and 850 nm light. Mito Red Light Mito Pro is up four, the Mito Light Biohacker is up three, and when we get all the way down to the bottom, we've seen Juve slip down into 16th place, and CYO LED is in last place.

So if you're enjoying this video, can I ask a favor? You see, a lot of time—like a ridiculous amount of time, energy, and money—has gone into creating this video. So if you have found value in this video and you are enjoying it, can I ask a little favor from you? Can you just scroll down, take a few seconds, hit the like button, and also be sure to subscribe as well? Because I will be putting out a lot more content like this in the coming months. Thank you very much; I really do appreciate it. And be sure to leave any questions or comments while you're down there.

So, round four, we're looking at the company behind the panel. Now, the reason why I've included this round is because red light therapy is exploding. There are so many companies starting up; there are so many panels on the market, it's hard for me to keep up. But there's also a lot of cowboys out there. I mean, it's very easy now to start up a red light therapy company, and you can even do this without even touching a panel. So the idea behind this round is to reward a panel that has a good company backing it. Here, I'm looking at four things: warranty length, support options—do they have a phone number? Can you pick up the phone and ring them? Next, I'm looking at time in business. Finally, we look at independent data. Are they sending the panel off for independent testing and sharing that data? Some companies are using solom meters to test their panels. Solom meters are giving a much higher power output; of course, that looks better in the marketing material. If you are shopping around, cross-check the company's numbers with what I've done in my reviews or head over to Light Therapy Insiders. Check out the shopping tool; you can see all the panels I've reviewed and the power output on there.

Okay, so let's look at the results. Here in last place, we have the Bond Charge Hive Max. They only offer a one-year warranty, though they have been around for quite some time, which is good. Then we have eight companies in ninth place. Now, I'm not going to go through all the data here; you can pause the video and have a look at it or check out the blog. Pretty much with all these companies, you're getting at least a 2-year warranty; some of them are doing three. Two of the companies, M Light and Roo Therapy, have support options, which is great, and there's a wide range of how long these companies have been around. What's funny is the two companies that have phone support, M Light and Roo Therapy, are both really new companies; they've only been in the space for a year or two. Unfortunately, though, none of these companies are sharing independent data.

Then we move up to fifth place. There are four companies here: Block Blue Light, CYO LED, Huga, and IDU Lighting. All of these companies have been around for a long time, and all of them offer good warranty periods. Now, in fourth place, we have the BX 900. They have a 3-year warranty; they have a phone number you can call for support. They've been in business for a very long time; in fact, they're one of the original companies when it comes to red light therapy panels, and their panels have featured in all three of my comparison series. Unfortunately, at the time of filming, they don't have any published lab data. However, I do know that they are working on something big in this area. I wish I could share more details, and I wish that at the time of filming, Platinum LED had their new lab data standard in place because it is going to be amazing for the industry, but at the time of filming, unfortunately, I don't have any of this data, so they miss out on points here.

Then in second place, we have Gimber and Rouge. Now, both of these companies have sent their panels off for independent testing, and they share their data. They're both companies that have been around for a few years, and they offer support options as well. So in first place, that leaves the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500 X. Now, this company is offering a 3-year warranty; they also have a phone number you can contact. They've also been in this space for quite some time, featuring in all three of my comparison series. If you head over to their product website, you can see a direct link for their lab data, so that means they get full points for this round and hence come out on top.

Okay, so what's interesting is Block Blue Light and Platinum LED are neck and neck in first place after four rounds, so there is a really good battle emerging here. I'm excited to see how it plays out, and after winning that round, Mito Red Light has jumped up three positions into third place, only trailing the leaders by 5.5 points. So it is a good push here by the defending champions. Will they get back into the top spot? We will see. Roo Therapy has slipped two places into fifth place, sharing that spot with RKA, who did perform well in that round. If we look at other noticeable changes, Light Path LED is down three and sits in seventh place, and Gimber is up five into ninth place. Near the bottom, we have a few position changes with Bond Charge Hive Max in last place.

All right, so there are three more rounds to go. Let's keep moving. Round five is what I titled "Operation." This is looking at ease of use setup. What's it like to operate? The key things I'm looking for here are modular support—can you get more panels and clip them together? And also, can you control multiple panels from one source? I'm looking at whether it comes with a remote control, whether it comes with an app, whether there's a touchscreen control system on the red light therapy panel. I'm also looking at features such as pulsing and dimming—the ability to reduce the power output. Finally, I'm looking at stand options—not just are there stands out there, but how many different options there are because some people may want their panels mounted on a wall, some people may want them on a vertical stand on wheels, and other people might want a horizontal motorized stand. So these are the things I'm looking at.

Let's go through the scoring. We have four panels coming in at 14th place, which is last place: Bond Charge, CYO LED, Gimber, and the Alibaba panel. Unfortunately, these panels don't have modular support; they don't have the remote; they don't have anything, hence why they are rock bottom last. Carla Elite comes in at 13th place because it has modular support and some stand options. Moving up, we have Red Therapy Co. and SE Loic.

So let's move up to sixth place. Here we have two panels: the Mito Red Light Mito Pro and the Light Path LED Diesel Shorty. Both of these have full modular support options. The Diesel comes with a remote control; the Mito Pro comes with an app. Mito Pro has a touchscreen and dimming, but the Light Path LED has pulsing and good stand options.

Now, in third place, we have Block Blue Light Mega, the Juve Solo 3.0, and the Rouge Kia G3. All great modular options; they either have a remote control or an app. Only the Block Blue Light panel has the touchscreen, which I personally really like. They all offer dimming and pulsing functions, and they all have good stand options as well.

So that leaves two panels in first place, and that was the Platinum LED BOMX 900 and the Roo Therapy Refined 900. So again, great modular support here. The BOMX is really nice when connecting multiple panels; they connect wirelessly and work really great. The BOMX comes with a remote; the Roo doesn't. Both of them have an application that just mimics what you're doing on the touchscreen control panel, which is really nice. I've given the BOMX one point for dimming, but the Roo Therapy gets two points for dimming because what's quite unique here is the Roo Therapy allows you to dim individual wavelengths. So rather than just dimming all the red or all the near-infrared light, you can say, "I just want to dim, say, 850 nm near-infrared light, but I want to leave 810 at 100% and then 830 at 50%." No other panel can do that; that's why I gave them the extra point there for dimming. And then the Roo Therapy offers pulsing, but Platinum doesn't. However, Platinum has the best range of stands out of any red light therapy company. I think they have four or five different stand options just for the BOMX 900. It is pretty cool.

So let's have a look at the overall standings now. As you can see, the Platinum LED BOMX is on its own in first place. Block Blue Light dropped a few points there to fall into second place. Roo Therapy has jumped up two spots to share third place with the Mito Red Light panel. This is getting close, and it's very interesting. Some big names in here: Platinum LED and Mito Red Light, and then in between them, we've got the two newcomers. Huga has dropped two places to sit in sixth place, and the other big changes were the Infar Pro Max going up three to sit in 11th place, and the Alibaba panel, the IDU Lighting 1500, dropped three places to fall down to 14th place.

So with two rounds left, it's still open to anyone. You'd have to imagine that Platinum LED and Block Blue Light are going to be in the top three because they do have a decent buffer over third place, but there are still a lot of points up for grabs. And then when you look at third position, well, two panels are neck and neck, and then you have the RGA K panel only a few points behind. Yeah, exciting times! Let's go into the next round.

And also remember, at the end of the video, I'm not only going to reveal the overall winner; I'm also going to look at some other special category winners. It's going to be quite interesting. I'll also throw in, say, the most disappointing panel as well.

So this round, we're looking at whether the panel comes with a good quality manual. I do this because if you're buying a red light therapy device for the first time, you want to know a bit about it—not just the panel, but how red light therapy works, how long you should use it for, and what the buttons do. So a good manual is key. I also look at cable length; I look at whether the panel has built-in grips, which makes moving it a lot easier. I look at whether the panel comes with included eyewear protection. I look at whether it's a low EMF rated panel. I also look at the sound output because there's nothing worse than using a red light therapy panel that drives you nuts, and trust me, there are some panels out there that I personally can't use. I just hate it; it's just not enjoyable. Then I look at any unique features or any negative features.

So I spent a lot of time doing all this testing. I've totaled all the scores up; let's have a look.

All right, so in last place, we have the Alibaba panel. Pretty much, they don't really tick any of the boxes. Plus, this company is based in China; you're literally dealing with the Chinese factory, so they lost the mark there. 16th place was the Carla Elite. It has a good manual, low EMF, but a really short cable, though, and it loses two points. Firstly, the LEDs are in clusters, so you actually get a blank space in between the LEDs, which is not good for light coverage. Secondly, the wire hooks I was using snapped, so that kind of sucked.

In 14th place, we have Infar Pro Max and the Bond Charge Hive Max. I'm not going to go into all the details here unless there's something really worth mentioning. You can go check out the full table over at Light Therapy Insiders. Speaking of Light Therapy Insiders, that's my blog that I run. There's a lot of great articles over there, plus my Light Therapy Insiders shopping tool, where you can compare all sorts of products beyond the 17 I've tested here.

In 12th place, we had the Red Therapy Co. Red Rush and the SE Loic P500. Now, the Sonic P500 wasn't too bad, but it lost two points because, again, it's a Chinese company, and it's got the cluster issues.

In 11th place, CYO LED Triplex. In eighth place, we have the Huga, the Juve, and the Mito Light Biohacker. One positive that the Juve has is that it's ultra-lightweight; the panel is actually made of plastic. It's super light. Trust me, sitting all of these up, you pick up the Juve, and you nearly throw it in the ceiling. So if you want a light panel, then that's a big plus.

In sixth place, we have the Gimber Overclocked and the Light Path LED Diesel Shorty. Now, both of these had a really long cable, and they were both ultra-quiet—like two of the quietest panels I've tested—but they don't come with printed quality manuals, and they don't have built-in grips. On the upside, though, the Gimber panel is really long; it's a tall panel, so I gave it a bonus point there. The Light Path LED panel comes with a free floor stand, so it gets a bonus point.

In fourth place, we had Mito Red Light Mito Pro and the BOMX coming in equal points again. So great manual, built-in grips, eye protection, low EMF, decent sound output. The Platinum LED BX panel is really long, but the Mito Red Light panel is really, really tall. The panel itself—I know in the first round we rewarded width, but I do want to give these bonus points to the two panels, the Gimber and the Mito Red Light, for their height. Some people may want a panel that's just really tall, so they get a bonus point there.

In second place, we have the Block Blue Light Mega and the Rouge Kia G3. Great cable length, great manual, eye protection, low EMF, and really good on the sound front. In first place, we have the newcomer Roo Therapy Refined 900. Now, there's a few things to talk about here, so let's run through it: good cable length, built-in grips, eyewear protection, good manual, low EMF, nice and quiet. But it gives two bonus points. Firstly, it comes bundled with a free stand, which is typically sold for about $130, so that's included in the price, which is really good. Secondly, this panel is quite unique. You'll have to check out my full review of this panel; be sure to subscribe to see that when it's out. But it has built-in smart dosing modes, so you can go through the panel and say, "Look, I want to focus on bone health or muscle recovery or skin health." You activate that, the intensities, the wavelengths all change, and it comes up with the session duration. No other panel does this. I actually think it's an absolute game changer. It's amazing for people that are new to red light therapy; to be honest, it's amazing for everyone. There are downsides with it, though. How accurate are the dosing protocols? I mean, I haven't put out dosing protocols because I can't get my head around it, but still, I think it's a step in the right direction. So because of that and all the other good things that come included with the panel, I think it's only fair that they come out number one in this round.

Okay, cool, so that's another round done. Let's go over and update the table.

Okay, so what's fascinating here, if you look down the change column, you'll notice that there aren't too many changes, especially in the top eight or nine panels. Now, Roo Therapy has jumped up one spot. Another fun fact is after six rounds, Roo Therapy has actually been the top scorer in three of those rounds. No other panel has won that many rounds. Platinum LED won two of them, Block Blue Light has only won one, and M Red Light has also won two. So yeah, Roo Therapy in third place is putting on a good show for first-timers. But when we take a closer look at the points, we see that there's only half a point between first and second place. PL LED still has first place, but only just. Block Blue Light is right on their tails. In third place, we have Roo Therapy, seven points behind, with an opportunity to come out on top. Then RGA Care has jumped up one place into fourth place with 75. Mito Red Light is just behind that in fifth place, but they have fallen a little bit in that round, which is disappointing. But hey, technically, they could still come out on top, though realistically, I guess they'll be happy settling with a top three placing at this point.

Further down the table, we see that the Juve Solo did come up three places here, and then the Infar Pro Max dropped two. So there's one more to go. Why wait? Let's get into it!

Okay, and here we are—the very last round of my 2024 red light therapy comparison series. This round, we look at price and shipping. But in this round, to make things a little bit easier, I looked at prices in US dollars and how much it would cost to get a panel to your door in America. Some of the companies do ship internationally; some of them don't. If you want to know the best panel for your particular region, that's where you need to subscribe, and I will be doing a video on that very soon.

Secondly, the prices I'm going to share are the discounted prices. Now, I am affiliated with a lot of these companies, and I've asked them to give you guys the best deal, the best discount possible. So some of the prices you see are exclusive to this channel. Now, to take advantage of those discounted prices, you have to use the discount code; typically, it's Alex, but full details are down below. Or for some panels, for instance, Platinum LED, you have to order through a discount link; a discount will be applied automatically.

All right, let's get comparing. So at the bottom of the table, we have the Juve Solo 3.0 at $1,780. That's a lot of money, and it's really disappointing because the prices have just gone up despite the panel not really changing. The other disappointing thing is it placed really low on the overall standings, so it's not like you're spending big money for something super amazing. Disappointing way for Juve to finish in 16th place.

Light Path LED is at $1,543. 15th place, the SE Loic P500. 14th place, the Gimber Red Overclocked at $1,390. I don't have a discount code for Gimber. 13th place, the Mito Light Biohacker. 12th place is the Block Blue Light Mega 4.0 at $1,275 with a $9 shipping cost. 11th place, the Huga Ultra at $1,259. 10th place, the Platinum LED BOMX 900 at $1,234. When ordering through the discount link below, there is no code, and they don't have shipping costs, so that's great.

Ninth place, the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500X with free shipping at $1,187. Eighth place, Roo Therapy Refined 900 at $1,165. Seventh place, Rouge Kia at $1,112. Sixth place, Carla Elite at $1,085. Fifth place, Infar Ready Pro Max at $1,079. Fourth place, CYO LED at $1,008. Third place, Red Therapy Co. Red Rush 840 at $970. Second place, Bond Charge Hive Max at $92. And then in first place for this round was the IDU Lighting 1500. This is the Alibaba panel. The discounted price I got here was only $300, but I had to pay about $185 for shipping, so it brings the total out to $485, which is really, really low. This price may have changed by the time this video goes out; remember, this is buying through the factory.

Now, before we do the total standings, I do need to share some insights here. The first thing I noticed is a lot of the panels that performed really well in that round are sitting really low on the overall standings, pretty much saying you get what you pay for. You pay bigger money, you get a better product. The exception being Juve, which is the complete opposite to that, which is kind of crazy.

The price is an interesting one. You want price in here because, yeah, people are price-conscious, but at the same time, you may be happy to spend an extra $100 or $200 to get something that has a lot more power, a lot more bells and whistles, a lot more warranty periods, and manuals, and all that sort of thing. But it does need to be in here, and that's why I left this round to the end, so you can look at how the panel performs and functions before the score is influenced by price.

Now, I also need to mention I will be doing a video looking at the best panel under $1,000; that'll be coming out soon. Now it's time; let's update the standings. We're going to go through the final results, working our way out, and we're going to see who comes out number one.

All right, in 17th place, we have the Bond Charge Hive Max on 36.5 points. Disappointing finish, but nothing's really changed with that panel over the years, so it doesn't surprise me. In 16th place, we have the Juve Solo 3.0; they dropped four positions after that price round. Honestly, I don't really get it. They're super expensive; you are getting some nice things, but I mean, they're just so far behind. Hopefully, a fourth-gen D comes out soon and spices things up a bit.

15th place, CYO LED. 14th place, the Carla Elite—a disappointing finish as there was a lot of hype and marketing promise from Carla on their new Elite panel. 13th place, Gimber Red Overclocked. 12th place, SE Loic P500. 11th place was Infar Pro Max. Yeah, another disappointing finish. Remember, these guys placed third out of 12 two years ago, so they've definitely dropped the ball here.

10th place is the Alibaba panel; that's up five positions purely on the price. So if you take out price, remember that was sitting in 15th place. So yes, you're getting good value, but you're losing a lot of features here. In ninth place, the Red Therapy Co. Red Rush 840. In eighth place, the Mito Light Biohacker 4.0. So first time this company's been in the series, they're finishing mid-pack. Honestly, I think their panel is really good; however, I do like the larger Mito Hacker panel, which has 400 LEDs, but of course, that wouldn't meet the criteria for this video. Check out that review because it's actually a really good panel.

Seventh place was the Light Path LED Diesel. So sixth place, Huga Ultra 1500. Okay, so that leaves us with five. These are the top five red light therapy wall panels for 2024, as measured by yours truly. All right, you ready for this?

In fifth place, it goes to the Mito Red Light Mito Pro 1500 X. It's a somewhat disappointing finish given that they won last year. It's a great company with great products; there are just a few minor things that cost them dearly. The narrower panel design is the big one that they're on the back foot from the first round, but they have got some really good features like the new touchscreen control panel, the applications, and great customer support. I mean, we're fifth out of 17, right? You're in the top portion here; you're getting great panels, but we're looking for the best of the best, and this year, Mito Red didn't quite have it.

In fourth place—and this may surprise a few people—was the Rouge Kia G3 Pro. Now, the reason why it may surprise a lot of people is it's not a well-known company; you don't hear that much about it. However, the panel, when it was released in 2023, was one of the most powerful panels. They're a very credible company; they're sharing a lot of data and are very great on customer support as well. The downside was that it's only putting out 660 and 850 nm. In all honesty, for a panel to only have those two wavelengths to finish in fourth place, it does show that they're doing a lot of things right. If they had a few more wavelengths in there, they would easily be in the top three.

Speaking of top three, there are three to go, so I wonder what you guys picked because I'm about to reveal them all. In third place, we have the Roo Therapy Refined 900. Now, this is an incredible result because Roo Therapy was only founded, I think, in 2022. It's a very new company. Typically, I don't like that, and I marked the panel down because it is a new company in the series. However, it is supported by Sunstream Saers in Australia, so I know they are a legit company, and I know there's funding behind it and all those good things.

But what excites me the most is this company has come out with a panel that is innovative. Yes, it's powerful; yes, it's got a good warranty, good packaging, but they've done something that no other company has done. They've built in these smart modes. Not only that, they've built a panel that allows you to independently change the intensities of your wavelengths. Now, these are both things that I've been talking about for two or three years now, maybe even longer, and no one's done it until Roo came along and have done it, which is extraordinary, and it's very impressive. Good on them as well! Not only that, they're also selling their panel at a really good price point. They were eighth place in that last round at a discount price of $1,165. That's really good for what you're getting, plus you're getting that free stand as well. I mean, that's like another hundred-odd dollars that a lot of companies charge. So congratulations, Roo Therapy! A newcomer to the scene, your second-generation panel, and you've come out third place, beating some big, big companies. Third out of 17—you should be very proud, and I think anyone that's going to use their panels is going to be very happy with them.

So that leaves two panels left. You know who the two are: you've got the Platinum LED and the Block Blue Light Mega. Who is going to come out number one? I'm not going to announce second place; what I'm going to do is announce the winner and then we'll talk about second place later.

So the winner of the 2024 red light therapy wall panel of the year goes to, drum roll please, Platinum LED BOMX 900, 8th generation! This is a panel that won my very first comparison series. They fell behind ever so slightly in my last one, and they've stepped it up a notch. I've had two generation updates since that series, and they've incorporated a lot of new features. Platinum LED has been well known to be very innovative, to put out panels that are offering a ton of power, to have great pricing, and it's continued. They introduced blue light in the 7th gen, and now with the 8th gen, they added the 1060 nm infrared light. They have one of the best connectivity systems; you're getting a handy remote included, you get a really nice app that's just easy to use, doesn't require sign-up to log in or anything like that. You're getting a great warranty, a great manual; there's heaps of stand options. Honestly, I mean, it is a really good panel.

So congratulations, Platinum LED! You've won the 2024 red light therapy wall panel of the year award. But of course, that's not all. We do need to talk about second place now. Second place was the Block Blue Light Mega Fourth Gen. Like Roo Therapy, this is the first time that I've included them in my comparison series. So we have two companies, two newcomers, who have placed in the top three.

So Block Blue Light, this is their fourth-generation panel. They got their fourth-gen panel out just in time for this comparison series, and I'm glad they did because their new panel brought in the touchscreen control system, it brought in a better blend of light, it brought in more power, and just a few other bells and whistles. They just make this the premium panel. It's a great size; all three of the top panels are the same size—300 LEDs, really good pricing options, and really good shipping options as well. It's another panel that I personally would be happy to use. If it's the only panel I could use, I think that's the key thing here, right?

And it's important to remember that all of the panels in this series are going to work; they're putting out therapeutic red light. Even the Bond Charge and the Juve, they're going to work. It's just that there are panels that are better, that work better, and that's what this comparison series has done.

Now, before you go out and buy it, remember I've reviewed all of these panels individually, so you can go check out those reviews if you want to take a deeper dive. I always recommend doing that. Those reviews cover even more information than I could do in this comparison series. But before you go, I want to do a few special awards, so bear with me.

First up, the Newcomer of the Year award goes to—well, it's a toss-up between Block Blue Light and Roo Therapy. I don't need to talk more about them; they're both great panels, and you got a second and third place, so take your pick.

So what on again to both of those companies! Most Innovative Feature goes to Roo Therapy with their new smart modes and the ability to independently change the power settings on each wavelength. I think that's awesome, so congrats Roo Therapy!

This panel for those on a budget—well, you know what? That's going to take me too long to score and report on, so what I'm going to do is a separate video for that. Be sure to subscribe to check that out. Also, for those of you thinking, "Hey, I live in Australia; what's the best panel?" Subscribe; there's videos coming up on that very soon.

Finally, I want to talk about the most disappointing panel. Now, there are two here. Firstly, you've got Juve, just because they've gone from being a market leader and doing really well in my reviews and comparison series to just falling behind. Not only that, falling behind on the features point of view, but they're also very, very expensive, so that is disappointing.

And I think secondly, the other disappointing panel would be Infar. They placed third a couple of years ago, and now they were below average. I mean, it's a shame. I think they really sort of stuffed up with their new panel, but hey, they'll come back better, that's for sure.

Now finally, I will also be doing a debrief where I go through all of this in a lot more detail, and I'll put that out in a separate video. That'll be my extended cut and commentary video. And I also need to mention I'm open for criticism here; not everyone is going to agree with this. But again, you can take the data and come up with your own conclusions. The Platinum LED BOMX panel is exceptional; however, it's not perfect. Otherwise, it'd be a panel scoring top marks in every single round. The BOMX, for instance, doesn't have the dual-chip LEDs, doesn't have the best blend of light, and some people may want to see more power going to those other wavelengths. If that's a big problem for you, then look down the list. If it's not, then you know who to buy from.

Speaking of buying from, discount codes and discount links are all down below. But look, before you go out and buy, I highly recommend checking out my dedicated review on the panel that you're looking at because I have reviewed each of these panels individually, and I cover a lot more information in that review. You can see them all up here.
