Aisle No. 05

Red Light Therapy

Red light panels are sold with a lot of promises. We skip all of them and compare the hardware: which wavelengths a panel emits, what the maker claims for irradiance, how much of you it covers, and how it mounts, times and holds up.

Our pick: Hooga HG300

It is the one panel here whose output an independent outlet has actually put a meter on, and it carries a 3-year warranty with a 60-day trial on top. Want the other end of the aisle instead? The Mito MitoMAX 2.0 asks for a 36-inch tower that publishes both its consumer-meter and its lab-grade numbers.

None of these products has been through the manual-by-manual document audit we run in the massage chair aisle, so you will find no star rating, no dimension grade and no verified date on any of them yet. See what that audit adds, and every card below says plainly where it stands.
