Infraredi vs PlatinumLED
Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 14-panel range and a 12-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 14 Infraredi panels and 11 of 12 PlatinumLED panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.
The short answer
- Cheaper entry: PlatinumLED. The BIOMAX GO opens the range at $299, 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.
- Only PlatinumLED covers: handheld devices.
- Widest single panel: Infraredi Pro Elite Plus 2.0, 12712 cm² of coverage.

Infraredi vs PlatinumLED FAQ
Is Infraredi cheaper than PlatinumLED?
Infraredi starts at $699 (Pro Mini 2.0) and runs to $6299; PlatinumLED starts at $299 (BIOMAX GO) and runs to $1599. PlatinumLED is the cheaper way into the range.
Which is stronger, Infraredi or PlatinumLED?
Infraredi publishes irradiance without a measurement distance, so none of its 14 panels can be normalized to 15 cm and no honest strength comparison is possible. PlatinumLED does state distances: its range runs to 121 mW/cm² at 15 cm.
Which Infraredi or PlatinumLED panel is the best value?
A value score needs a comparable irradiance figure, and Infraredi does not publish one. On price alone the entry points are Infraredi Pro Mini 2.0 at $699 and PlatinumLED BIOMAX GO at $299.
Do Infraredi and PlatinumLED use the same wavelengths?
Infraredi panels emit 630, 660, 810, 830, 850 nm across the range; PlatinumLED panels emit 480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850, 1060 nm.
