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 small, dimmable panel for your face or a joint that sits on a table, with a three-year warranty.
Main trade-off	Elective returns cost a 20% restocking fee plus shipping, and the tabletop stand is $119 extra.	It covers only small areas, and Mito doesn't publish output at the 12 to 18 inches it recommends.
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: 60 lenses / 120 chips. Each lens holds two chips on separate circuits, so the panel can run 100% red, 100% near infrared or 50% each Peak wavelengths: 590, 630, 660, 810, 830 and 850 nm. Mito gives the split for the whole MitoPRO X series as 6%, 22%, 22%, 17%, 17% and 17% Irradiance at 6 in: >130 mW/cm² by consumer solar meter and >56 mW/cm² by professional spectroradiometer. Mito reports a LightLab test (report LLIA002765-005, Sep 12, 2025) of 38.2 mW/cm² average and 55.9 mW/cm² peak over the area below the LEDs Power: 125 W power consumption on the product page. The LightLab test measured 111.8 W wall draw and 36.4 W total radiant power Coverage and distance: Face, neck or joints. Mito recommends 10-minute sessions at 12 to 18 in. The manual says 4 to 6 sessions a week, and the product page says 4 to 7 Controls and modes: Touchscreen with three modes: all wavelengths, red and amber only, or near infrared only. The manual gives dimming from 1% to 100%, plus near-infrared pulsing. The Bluetooth app adds an NIR Extend mode of up to 20 minutes. Mito's App Store listing shows the app as free with no in-app purchases In the box: Panel, tabletop stand, power cable, user manual, opaque protective goggles and Mito Red IR3 glasses

Warranty	Three years. PlatinumLED's warranty page says it runs from the delivery date in one place and from the purchase date in another. The refund policy says purchase. It covers a light that isn't working properly. PlatinumLED decides case by case whether to send parts, troubleshoot by phone or email, or replace the unit with a new or refurbished one. Claims need photo or video evidence. Drops, misuse, opening the panel and damage from mis-inserted stand screws aren't covered. Only the original buyer from PlatinumLED or an authorized reseller is covered. Neither page says who pays shipping on a claim.	Three years on MitoPRO X panels, starting on the delivery date. It covers only the original purchaser who bought from mitoredlight.com or an authorized reseller, and it can't be transferred.
