Infraredi vs Red Light Rising

Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 14-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 14 Infraredi panels and 4 of 4 Red Light Rising panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.

The short answer

  • Cheaper entry: Infraredi. The Pro Mini 2.0 opens the range at $699, against $791 for the Half Stack 3.0.
  • 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 Infraredi covers: targeted devices.
  • Widest single panel: Infraredi Pro Elite Plus 2.0, 12712 cm² of coverage.
