Highlighted cells mark the stronger figure. Irradiance is normalized to 15 cm with a documented falloff model - see how we normalize irradiance. 0 of 8 Joovv panels and 4 of 4 Red Light Rising panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.

The short answer

  • Cheaper entry: Joovv. The Go 2.0 opens the range at $549, against $791 for the Half Stack 3.0.
  • Not comparable on strength: Joovv states no measurement distance for any of its 8 panels - so those irradiance claims cannot be put on the 15 cm basis the rest of this table uses.
  • Only Joovv covers: handheld, targeted devices.
  • Widest single panel: Joovv Elite 3.0, 12200 cm² of coverage.
