BON CHARGE vs Rouge

Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 4-panel range and a 4-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 4 of 4 Rouge panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.

The short answer

  • Cheaper entry: Rouge. The Tabletop G4 opens the range at $516, 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.
  • Widest single panel: Rouge Ultimate G4, 10553 cm² of coverage.
