Choose if	You want a small panel for one area at a time, with lab-measured output at the distances you'll use.	You want a full-length 660 and 850 nm panel that hangs on a door, with output given at several distances.	You want one door-hung panel for full-body sessions, with dimmable red and near-infrared light and a three-year warranty.
Main trade-off	Elective returns cost a 20% restocking fee plus shipping, and the tabletop stand is $119 extra.	Its output figures aren't backed by a named test, it has no pulse or dimming, and return shipping comes out of your refund.	Mito publishes no output figure at its recommended distance, and returning the 25 lb panel costs you shipping without the optional protection.
Key specifications	LEDs: 100 LEDs. LightLab counted 48 red, 50 infrared and 2 blue Wavelengths: 480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850 and 1060 nm in the product description. The comparison table says "7 Wave" but lists only six, leaving out 850 nm Irradiance (lab average, 350–1700 nm): 71.79 mW/cm² at 6 in, 56.25 at 12 in, 43.89 at 18 in and 35.30 at 24 in. At 12 in, red (600–700 nm) averaged 24.61 and near infrared (780–1700 nm) 30.50 Power: 180 W and 1.6 A at 110 V on the comparison table. LightLab measured 174.8 W at 120 V Size and weight: 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in, 11 lb. Maximum heat rating 130°F (55°C) In the box and mounting: Panel, eye protection, door hook, hanging bracket, power and patch cables, cable assembly with snap links, six screws, a wrench and a remote. Tabletop stand $119 and wall bracket $79, sold separately Use guidance: 10 to 20 minutes per area, up to 2 to 3 areas a day, 3 to 5 times a week. The product page says 8 to 14 in for deep tissue and 16 to 24 in for the face. The FAQ says 10 to 15 minutes at 6 to 12 in for deep tissue EMF and flicker: PlatinumLED lists 0.0 µT at 4 in. Its EMF article describes an in-house test with an unnamed detector. It makes no flicker claim	LEDs: 300 dual-chip LEDs, listed as 300 x 5 W, with a 60-degree beam angle Wavelengths: Each dual-chip LED holds a 660 nm red and an 850 nm near-infrared emitter. Hooga doesn't say how output splits between them Irradiance and coverage: 218 mW/cm² at 3 in, 189 at 6 in, 136 at 12 in and 102 at 18 in. Coverage grows from 43 x 14 in to 60 x 29 in over that range. Hooga names no meter, lab or method Power: 530 W power consumption on the product page, but 300 W on Hooga's comparison chart. Both give 1,500 W as the rated or 'LED power class' figure. Input is AC 85–265 V Controls: Red, near infrared or both, set with the panel's MODE button. The manual lists a 5, 10 or 15 minute timer, and the panel starts with no timer set. No pulse or brightness control, and Hooga mentions no app Use guidance: For skin, 18 in for 2 to 3 minutes per area. For deeper tissue, 6 to 12 in for 6 to 10 minutes. Hooga suggests 3 to 5 sessions a week, and no more than 2 a day EMF and flicker: Hooga claims 0.0 μT at 6 in. The product page calls the panel flicker-free, and the certifications page calls it low-flicker. No test report, instrument or method is published In the box: Panel, US power cord, series linking power cord, door mount, hanging kit with adjustable pulley, protective goggles and user manual	LEDs: 300 lenses with 600 chips. Mito says each lens holds two chips on separate circuits Wavelengths: 590, 630, 660, 810, 830 and 850 nm. Mito gives the split as 6%, 22%, 22%, 17%, 17% and 17% Modes and dimming: The touchscreen runs all six wavelengths (half red and amber, half near infrared), red and amber only, or near infrared only. The manual says red and near infrared each dim from 1 to 100%. The app adds NIR Extend: up to 20 minutes of near infrared with a 1-minute red break every 4 minutes Irradiance at 6 in: Mito lists >73 mW/cm² by professional spectroradiometer and >160 mW/cm² by consumer meter. The lab report Mito summarizes gives 53.5 mW/cm² average and 72.5 mW/cm² peak. Mito publishes no figure for any other distance Power: Mito lists 445 W. The lab measured 418.7 W at the wall. Input voltage isn't stated Size and coverage: 10 x 43 in and 25 lb. Mito rates it for full body, and the smaller 750X for upper or lower body Controls: Touchscreen with session timer, brightness control and alarm. One panel connects to the phone app by Bluetooth, and Mito's App Store listing shows the app as free with no in-app purchases. Running several panels together takes a wireless remote, which Mito includes only with 2- and 4-panel arrays Use guidance: 10-minute sessions at 12 to 18 in, at least 6 hours apart on the same area. The manual says 4 to 6 sessions a week, and the product page says 4 to 7. Mito advises no more than 15 minutes and never over 20. It gives the near-infrared-only cap as both 5 and 10 minutes In the box: Panel, power cable, user manual, over-the-door hook, steel hanging cables, 4 vinyl straps, opaque goggles and Mito Red IR3 glasses EMF and flicker: Mito says the panel emits 'no detectable EMF' at 6 in or more and is flicker-free, but publishes no measurements. The manual's only flicker entry, IEC 61000-3-3, tests the panel's effect on mains power, not light flicker

Installation	The box includes a door hook, a hanging bracket, a cable assembly and snap links, so you can hang it over a door. The tabletop stand costs $119, fits only the 300 and 450, and is sold separately. A wall mount bracket is $79 and a mobile floor stand is $139. Stand sales are final. PlatinumLED lists a 1.6 A draw at 110 V and says its lights adapt to any household voltage, with a cord for your country.	A door mount and a hanging kit with an adjustable pulley come in the box.

Input is AC 85–265 V, and no dedicated circuit or electrician is described.	An over-the-door hook, steel hanging cables and four vinyl straps come in the box. The manual shows how to hang the 1500X from a door but gives no weight limit for the hook. Mito's floor stand ($139) and universal vertical or horizontal stand ($349) fit the 1500X but cost extra. The panel plugs in with the supplied 16 AWG cord. Mito doesn't state input voltage, current draw or outlet needs. The only electrical rating in the manual is the 10 A, 250 V fuse. The manual gives an operating range of 45°F to 115°F.
