Key Buying Considerations

Location & Shipping Costs: Biomax panels can add ~$300 shipping to Australia, while others ship free.
Intended Use:
- Skin, fine lines, general wellness → don’t need max power; Rouge Pro G4 is sufficient.
- Deep tissue / internal issues → power matters more; Biomax Pro Ultra or Biomax 900 or BlockBlueLight Mega 5.0.
Future Plans: If you plan to link multiple panels, Biomax Pro panels are designed for clipping systems with their 'no gap' spacing. (Though all other panels do allow extra panels to be connected). Though if you want a full body panel and can stretch your budget, then check out the BlockBlueLight Ultimate XXL (Buy through this link to save 15% - https://aferg.co/BlockBlueLight

LED Technology Differences

Biomax panels: Single-chip LEDs → each bulb = one wavelength. Can create “polka-dot effect” with less even coverage. Not ideal for full body light exposure.
Other panels: Dual-chip LEDs → each bulb outputs two wavelengths, doubling chip count (so 300 LEDs = 600 chips). Produces smoother, more even light spread.

Features Breakdown

Smart Modes: Rouge Pro G4 + Rojo Refine 900 + Biomax Pro→ one-click presets changes wavelengths, power settings and timer to create different effects on the body.
Custom Modes: BlockBlueLight Mega 5.0 + Rojo Refine → can save your own settings.
Pulsing: Present in Biomax Pro Ultra, BlockBlueLight, Rouge Pro G4, Rojo Refine.
Mode Display: Biomax Pro Ultra lacks a clear mode indicator (frustrating in practice).

Warranty & Returns

BlockBlueLight Mega 5.0 → 5 yrs, 30-day returns, no restocking fee (industry-leading).
Rouge Pro G4 & Rojo Refine 900 → 3 yrs, 60-day returns, no restocking fee.
Biomax Ultra & 900 → 3 yrs, 60-day returns, 20% restocking fee. If there is a good chance you will return the panel, I recommend avoiding PlatinumLED.

Power Reality Check

Beyond ~70–80 mW/cm², the extra power may not be necessary unless treating deeper tissues. In practice one could argue that the BioMax Pro is a very specialised product and for everyone.
And in in those cases where high power is needed, a smaller, cheaper, targeted device such as a handheld laser or Iron Forge device might be better than any panel.

Closing Recommendations

Best for Maximum Intensity / Multi-Panel Setups: Biomax Pro Ultra
Best for Wavelength Diversity / Brain Health: Rouge Pro G4
Best Balance of Power, Features & Warranty: BlockBlueLight Mega 5.0
Best Value for Money: Rojo Refine 900
Older High-Power Alternative: Biomax 900
