BON CHARGE vs GembaRed
Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 4-panel range and a 10-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. 0 of 4 BON CHARGE panels and 10 of 10 GembaRed panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.
The short answer
- Cheaper entry: GembaRed. The Beam Mini opens the range at $159, against $699 for the Demi.
- Not comparable on strength: BON CHARGE states no measurement distance for any of its 4 panels - so those irradiance claims cannot be put on the 15 cm basis the rest of this table uses.
- Only BON CHARGE covers: half body devices.
- Widest single panel: GembaRed BFP 9000, 4839 cm² of coverage.
