Initial research and scoring published for 7 options in Red Light Devices.

How we score red light devices
Light Output

Irradiance measured in mW/cm² at a tested distance. Higher scores mean more energy delivered per session, which reduces treatment time needed to reach a given joule dose.

Value for Money

Purchase price relative to measured irradiance and build quality. Accounts for cost-per-joule delivered and expected device lifespan at the asking price.

Product Lineup

Range of device types offered, including full-body panels, targeted devices, portables, wearables, and combo kits. Higher scores mean more use cases covered by one brand.

Build & Support

Component quality, LED chip sourcing, warranty length, return window, and customer service reputation based on forum reports and verified reviews.
