Choose if	You want one tall panel with the mounting hardware in the box, and you have a solid door to hang it from.	You want a full-length 660 and 850 nm panel, on sale for several hundred dollars less than a Joovv Solo 3.0 or BON CHARGE Super Max, and you can hang it with the included kit and wait for delivery.
Main trade-off	A one-year warranty with buyer-paid shipping on claims, only two wavelengths, and no measuring distance for irradiance, so the dose delivered at 3 to 12 inches is unknown.	Power draw and the FDA badge are unclear for this model, the backorder notice leaves delivery timing uncertain, and returns need RMA pre-approval and cost a $15 restocking fee plus return shipping.
Key specifications	LEDs: 300 LEDs, 5 W dual chip Wavelengths: 660 nm red and 850 nm near infrared Irradiance: >162 mW/cm² in the spec table, comparison table and product description. No measuring distance given Power and input: 1,500 W, AC 85–265 V Timer and modes: Selectable 5 to 30 minute sessions on the product page, but the store's product description says sessions of up to 20 minutes. Modes: red, near infrared or both Stated use distance: 3 to 12 in from the panel EMF and flicker: 0.05–0.1 µT EMF, with flicker listed as zero.

The page doesn't say who measured it or with what instrument Use distance: Kala recommends about 6 to 18 in from the panel Power: The only wattage figure is 'Light output: 385W (2315W)', but 231 x 5 W would be 1,155 W.

Exact variant	Super Max (single model), 35.5 x 11.8 x 2.56 in panel with door mount	'No Stand' setup option with hanging kit, US store
Dimensions	91 x 30 x 6.5 cm (35.5 x 11.8 x 2.56 in) and 14 kg (31 lb), per the spec table on the product page.	Listed as 'L220W96H900mm', about 8.7 x 3.8 x 35.4 in. The 96 mm figure is labeled width but reads as the panel's depth. The spec list gives the weight as 30 lb, but Kala's online store lists 9,952 g (about 21.9 lb) for every setup option.
Installation	It hangs over a door from the included door mount, using braided steel cables, threaded posts and a height-adjusting pulley. The setup text says it can also stand on a solid surface. BON CHARGE's comparison table lists 'Door Mount' as the stand option for this model, and the product page lists no floor stand. It plugs in with the supplied power cord (AC 85–265 V). No dedicated circuit is described.	The 'No Stand' setup includes a hanging kit. The page doesn't say what it hangs from (door, wall or ceiling) or whether you'll need to drill. Roller Boot, Vertical Stand and Horizontal Stand are separate setup options at higher prices. The panel plugs in at 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, and no dedicated circuit is described.
Materials	Not stated by the manufacturer.	Iron shell, with lenses at 30 and 60 degrees.
Warranty	1-year manufacturer's warranty. The product-page FAQ says it runs from the date of purchase, but the store's refund policy says one year from delivery. To claim under the policy, you email BON CHARGE and return the product at your own cost within the warranty period. BON CHARGE then repairs, replaces or refunds at its option, and it pays shipping back on repaired or replaced items. Products used contrary to instructions, abused, modified, damaged or fitted with substitute parts aren't covered.	2 years, per the spec list on the product page.

Final-sale items remain under warranty service, and you make a claim by emailing Kala with proof of purchase. Coverage details and exclusions weren't found. The shipping page whose web address mentions warranty gives no warranty terms.

The two policy pages give different refund timings after inspection: 5 to 10 business days, or typically within 14 business days.
Unresolved questions	Delivered irradiance at BON CHARGE's 3 to 12 in use distance Measured wall power draw during a session Recommended session length and frequency General condition requirements for a standard return What it costs to ship the panel back Housing material The door mount's weight rating The FDA product code or listing number behind the 'FDA Class II registered' statement	Measured wall power draw during a session What the hanging kit attaches to The hanging kit's weight rating Warranty coverage details and exclusions Who pays shipping on warranty claims When it would actually ship under the backorder notice How many sessions per day or week Kala recommends (the FAQ entry on daily use showed no answer) Whether the FDA device-identifier record for 'KALA Elite' covers the unit sold on the US store, since the store's barcode doesn't match the record's identifier How the 161 mW/cm² figure was measured Delivered irradiance at 12 to 18 in, the far end of Kala's use distance Panel weight: 30 lb in the spec list, but 9,952 g (about 21.9 lb) for every setup option in Kala's online store
