How to choose
- Check the safety listing in the certifier's own directory.
- Compare lab numbers at the same distance, not solar-meter figures (see red light numbers explained).
- Compare warranty length and where support is based.
- Size: bigger panels cover more of your body at once.
We don't make claims about what red light does for your health.
