LightpathLED vs Mito Red Light
Both brands' full line-ups on one basis: every comparable irradiance figure normalized to 15 cm, so a 6-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. 4 of 6 LightpathLED panels and 13 of 14 Mito Red Light panels publish a figure comparable enough to normalize.
The short answer
- Cheaper entry: Mito Red Light. The MitoMIN 2.0 opens the range at $249, against $374 for the Diesel Mini.
- More light at 15 cm: LightpathLED, with a median 236 mW/cm² across the range against 69.6 mW/cm². Its Diesel XL is the strongest panel either brand sells at 236 mW/cm².
- Best light per dollar: the Diesel XL at $1874 (value score 100/100 vs 74/100 for the MitoPRO 1500).
- Widest single panel: MitoPOD, 21600 cm² of coverage.
