Bestqool vs Infraredi

Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 7-panel range and a 14-panel range can be read against each other instead of against each brand's own marketing distance.

Highlighted cells mark the stronger figure. Irradiance is normalized to 15 cm with a documented falloff model - see how we normalize irradiance. 7 of 7 Bestqool panels and 0 of 14 Infraredi panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.

The short answer

  • Cheaper entry: Bestqool. The Bestqool BQ60 opens the range at $147, against $699 for the Pro Mini 2.0.
  • Not comparable on strength: Infraredi states no measurement distance for any of its 14 panels - so those irradiance claims cannot be put on the 15 cm basis the rest of this table uses.
  • Widest single panel: Infraredi Pro Elite Plus 2.0, 12712 cm² of coverage.
