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 4 of 4 Red Light Rising panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.

The short answer

  • Cheaper entry: BON CHARGE. The Demi opens the range at $699, against $791 for the Half Stack 3.0.
  • 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: targeted devices.
  • Widest single panel: BON CHARGE Super Max, 2730 cm² of coverage.
