GembaRed vs Mito Red Light
Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 10-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. 10 of 10 GembaRed panels and 13 of 14 Mito Red Light panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.
The short answer
- Cheaper entry: GembaRed. The Beam Mini opens the range at $159, against $249 for the MitoMIN 2.0.
- More light at 15 cm: Mito Red Light, with a median 69.6 mW/cm² across the range against 14 mW/cm². Its MitoPRO 1500 is the strongest panel either brand sells at 170 mW/cm².
- Best light per dollar: the MitoPRO 1500 at $1169 (value score 74/100 vs 11/100 for the Vulcan).
- Only Mito Red Light covers: half body, handheld devices.
- Widest single panel: MitoPOD, 21600 cm² of coverage.
