What to look for in a red light panel
Panel listings are full of big numbers that mean very little. Here is the short list of specs worth comparing, and how the Solo measures up.
Specs that matter
Four things do most of the work.
- Verified wavelengths — 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared, stated per chip.
- Irradiance at a real, stated distance, not at the lens surface.
- Low flicker and clean power delivery.
- Build quality: housing, heat management, and a proper 100–240 V adapter.
Claims to discount
Total wattage of the LEDs tells you about electricity, not the dose reaching your skin. 'Hospital grade' and similar phrases have no agreed definition. Ignore any panel promising to treat a diagnosed condition.
How the Deep Dose Solo compares
The Solo runs dual-chip 660 nm and 850 nm LEDs, publishes irradiance at a stated distance, and ships with the power adapter. The full numbers live on the specifications page rather than in the headline copy.
