Joovv vs Rouge
Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 8-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 8 Joovv 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 $549 for the Go 2.0.
- 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 devices.
- Widest single panel: Joovv Elite 3.0, 12200 cm² of coverage.
