PlatinumLED vs BON CHARGE: Which Red Light Therapy Brand Wins in 2026?
Medical review: All articles on Red Light Therapy Top 10 are reviewed for scientific accuracy and evidence-based relevance by our medical expert team. This page is wellness information, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Home red light panels sold in the United States are FDA-registered. That is a listing, not FDA clearance.
This is a two-brand fight, not a ranking of the whole 2026 field. PlatinumLED is the US panel specialist: BioMax and BioMax Pro share a seven-band mix that includes 1060 nm, conical 90-degree optics, Light Therapy Insiders spectrometer files, and a Classic-versus-Pro kit split. BON CHARGE is the Australian lifestyle catalog: panels stay on 660 nm and 850 nm, Max and Super Max hang on a door out of the box, and the aisle around those lights includes glasses, masks, PEMF mats, and sauna blankets. The crown on this page is between those two catalogs only.
Winner summary
Overall winner: PlatinumLED
At a glance
PlatinumLED has sold red and near-infrared panels from the United States since 2010. The 2026 home story is two parallel seven-band families: classic ninth-generation BioMax, and BioMax Pro with higher claimed output, zero-gap multi-panel hardware, named Smart Therapy Modes, pulse, a companion app, and voice. Full-body coverage from this brand is a two-panel stack plus a separately sold stand. A single Ultra or BioMax 900 is still about 36 inches tall.
BON CHARGE, formerly BluBlox, sells from Perth as a broad wellness shop. Red light is one aisle. The live panel-and-handheld line is five SKUs: Bullet, Mini, Demi, Max, and Super Max. Panels emit 660 nm and 850 nm. Buyers pick red, near-infrared, or both, plus a timer. Max and Super Max hang on a door. There is no live floor-stand SKU for those panels. Around them sit a face mask, a neck-and-chest mask, a red light blanket, PEMF mats, glasses, and sauna gear. That catalog shape is the point of the brand, not a footnote.
Both flagship panels sit in the 35 to 36 inch class. PlatinumLED then adds extra wavelengths, 90-degree flood, independent spectrometer files, a three-year warranty, and modular stacks. BON CHARGE then adds a $199 torch, a pulley door kit, a larger Trustpilot sample, and a one-year warranty. Dual-chip 5W LEDs on Demi, Max, and Super Max are a package fact, not a smear. Sessions with either brand may help. Neither panel is FDA-cleared as a home medical treatment.
The 2026 lineups, live stickers attached
PlatinumLED BioMax Pro and classic BioMax
BioMax Pro is the current flagship family: four sizes, seven-band R+|NIR+, conical 90-degree optics, a claimed 50 percent light-energy increase over classic BioMax, zero-gap joining, per-wavelength control, pulse 0 to 9,999 Hz, five Smart Therapy Modes, remote, app, and voice. Clinical-grade and FDA Class II language on the manufacturer site is an FDA registration listing, not clearance.
| PlatinumLED model | LEDs | Live size (H x W x D) | Live price | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BioMax Pro Nano | 144 | 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in | $799 | Tabletop / targeted |
| BioMax Pro Midi | 216 | 19.69 x 11.81 x 2.76 in | $999 | Wider targeted |
| BioMax Pro Grande | 288 | 35.04 x 8.66 x 2.76 in | $1,299 | Tall half-body, 9-inch class width |
| BioMax Pro Ultra | 432 | 35.83 x 11.81 x 2.76 in | $1,599 | Tallest single Pro panel; still ~36 in |
| BioMax 300 | 100 | 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in | $659 | Classic tabletop, same 7-band list |
| BioMax 900 | 300 | 35.83 x 11.81 x 2.76 in | $1,299 | Classic 36 x 12 class |
Live Pro weights: Nano 11 lb, Midi 15 lb, Grande 22 lb, Ultra 29 lb. Classic BioMax 450 is $799 and BioMax 600 is $1,049 on the same JSON. EMF claim 0.0 uT at 4 inches. Rated LED life 100,000 hours. Three-year warranty. Classic BioMax keeps independent R+ and NIR+ dimming, a simple remote, and no named Smart Therapy Modes. A professional touchscreen remote is $169 extra. App and voice are listed for this family too.
Two panels increase coverage. They do not raise irradiance on any one spot. Live BioMax Pro combos: Nano + Grande $1,998; Grande + Grande $2,498; Midi + Ultra $2,498; Ultra + Ultra $3,098. Classic: 300 + 600 $1,608; 900 + 900 $2,498. None include a stand. Add $379 for a rack or $869 for the XL motorized horizontal. BioMax GO is a $299 660/850 handheld. StudioMAX ($1,349) is commercial. SaunaMAX Pro ($959) is a fanless IP65 sauna light.
BON CHARGE Bullet through Super Max
Start with physical size, not marketing names. Super Max is sold as a full-body panel. Live dimensions are 35.5 by 11.8 by 2.56 inches. That is torso-and-thigh height in one stance, not a 64-inch lie-under plane. Max is almost the same height and much narrower (35.8 by 8.37 inches). Demi is a 15-inch half-body panel. Mini and Bullet are handhelds. This page does not treat a 35-inch door-hung panel as a full-length chassis.
| BON CHARGE model | What it actually is | Live size | LEDs | Live price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bullet | 3-LED rechargeable torch for small spots | About 1 x 4.7 in | 3 | $199 |
| Mini | 12-LED handheld; optional table stand | 5.9 x 3.7 x 1.6 in | 12 x 3W | $299 |
| Demi | Small mains panel; table or floor use | 14.96 x 8.66 x 2.56 in | 60, 5W dual-chip | $699 |
| Max | Tall, narrow door-hung panel | 35.8 x 8.37 x 2.56 in | 200, 5W dual-chip | $999 |
| Super Max | Widest panel in the line; still 35.5 in tall | 35.5 x 11.8 x 2.56 in | 300, 5W dual-chip | $1,599 |
LED counts and sizes match the live comparison table, pulled 1 September 2026. Power draw: 9 W (Bullet), 36 W (Mini), 300 W (Demi), 1,000 W (Max), 1,500 W (Super Max). Weights: Bullet 0.2 kg, Mini 1.6 lb, Demi 8.4 lb, Max 17.64 lb, Super Max 31 lb. Beam 30 degrees. Mini Stand $50. S/Max hanging set $29.99. Free shipping over $125. Bullet is the only SKU that lists 630 nm. Mini through Super Max stay on 660 plus 850. The same JSON still lists a face mask, neck-and-chest mask, blanket, and PEMF mats. Those SKUs are out of the panel scoring and explain the lifestyle catalog.
Spectrum and density: seven bands versus two on purpose
Band count is easy. Density is what the panel is built to emphasize. PlatinumLED BioMax and BioMax Pro list the same seven wavelengths: 480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850, and 1060 nm. That is 1060 nm, not 1064 nm. PlatinumLED is explicit: peak absorption at 660 and 850 nm, and even-spread panels are the inferior design in their view. Independent measurements match the weighting even though PlatinumLED has not posted a public BioMax Pro density table.
Light Therapy Insiders on classic BioMax: roughly 2% 480 / 9% 630 / 39% 660 / 5% 810 / 5% 830 / 36% 850 / 4% 1060. About 75% of measured energy is 660 plus 850. Notes on BioMax Pro Ultra put roughly 80% in 660 plus 850, with 1060 a faint trace. This page does not invent a Pro density table the brand has not published. Classic BioMax dims R+ and NIR+ separately and can switch off 480 nm. Pro adds per-wavelength control. Neither turns a trace 1060 nm slice into a dense 1064 nm panel.
BON CHARGE publishes no per-band share because the design is two bands: 660 nm and 850 nm. Dual-chip 5W LEDs on Demi, Max, and Super Max put red and NIR in the same package. Max lists 200 pcs at 660 nm and 200 pcs at 850 nm inside 200 dual-chip packages. Mini is 12 separate 3W LEDs. Two bands concentrate diodes on 660 and 850 and leave 810, 830, and 1064 nm off the board. That is a stated design, not an unfinished seven-band panel.
Edge: PlatinumLED on spectrum richness. Seven listed bands including 1060, 810, and 830 nm, with independent density showing 660 and 850 still dominate. BON CHARGE wins the simpler 660/850 brief, not the wavelength board.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Spectrometers are the accurate reference for LED sources. Solar power meters over-report. Peak compares with peak. Average compares with average. A figure with no distance is not a six-inch figure. PlatinumLED, independent spectrometer: Light Therapy Insiders on classic BioMax 900 about 90.3 mW/cm² average at 6 inches (peak about 113) versus an older claimed number around 185; about 75 mW/cm² at 12 inches. BioMax 450 LTI: peak about 96, average about 72. Pro Ultra notes: peak about 120, average about 101 (medium confidence). Older 185-class claims stay in the solar-meter era. LightLab charts, often in joules, are not converted into LTI milliwatts here. The brand claims Pro delivers about 50 percent more light energy than classic BioMax; that is an in-catalog claim, not a ranking against Super Max.
BON CHARGE, manufacturer claims with incomplete public method. The live comparison table states Bullet >141 mW/cm², Mini >100, Demi >100, Max >142, and Super Max >162 mW/cm². The product FAQ says devices start at >100mw/cm2 and upwards, depending on the unit size. No product card names the instrument. No product card names the distance. Setup copy on Max and Super Max then tells users to sit 3 to 12 inches away. Treat those mW/cm² headlines as brand-stated figures with incomplete public method detail, not as spectrometer averages at six inches.
This page did not find a published third-party spectrometer report for Demi, Max, or Super Max with a named instrument, a named distance, and a peak-versus-average split. Brand pages say the devices are independently tested. The file, lab, and geometry are not attached. This page does not invent a number BON CHARGE has not published, and it does not convert >162 into a six-inch LTI peer. Max lists 1,000 W wall-plug power and Super Max lists 1,500 W. Electrical watts are not optical watts at the skin. Dual-chip 5W is a diode rating, not a six-inch irradiance.
Chips: single-die versus dual-chip is a fact, not a smear
PlatinumLED ships single-chip packages and argues against dual-chip as a design. BON CHARGE ships 5W dual-chip LEDs on Demi, Max, and Super Max. Dual-chip puts two dies under one lens, usually red and near-infrared. Single-chip sends a package’s drive into one wavelength. Neither package is a defect. LED count still favors Pro Ultra: 432 single-chip LEDs versus Super Max 300 dual-chip packages.
Edge: PlatinumLED on published package philosophy and on LED count at the 36 x 12 class. Dual-chip on BON CHARGE is recorded as a fact.
Beam: 90-degree flood versus 30-degree focus
PlatinumLED and Light Therapy Insiders describe conical 90-degree optics on BioMax-class panels (LTI on BioMax 900). A wide beam spreads energy across a larger patch. Classic starting guide: 8 to 14 inches for deeper work, 16 to 24 for facial skin, 10 to 20 minutes, 3 to 5 days a week. BON CHARGE lists a 30-degree beam. Setup copy on Max and Super Max tells users to sit 3 to 12 inches away. A 30-degree door-hung panel can cover a torso at close range. It will not flood a room the way a 90-degree array does at the same distance.
Edge: PlatinumLED on flood. BON CHARGE on a tighter, closer-range beam, which is a niche, not the pairing winner.
Coverage: two 36-inch catalogs, two different full-body stories
Neither brand sells a 60-inch single chassis. PlatinumLED points full-body buyers to two- or four-panel stacks. BON CHARGE labels Super Max as full-body at 35.5 inches. A standing adult will need a second pass for calves. Width is the Super Max upgrade over Max: 11.8 inches versus 8.37. Pro Ultra is 11.81 inches wide with 432 LEDs. BioMax 900 is the same footprint with 300 LEDs at $1,299.
PlatinumLED’s full-body path is modular. Nano + Grande is $1,998 before a stand. Ultra + Ultra is $3,098. Pro’s zero-gap frame removes the dark strip between stacked Pro panels. A door-hook kit ships in the box. Live Pro mounts: tabletop $119, wall $79, black mobile floor $139, XL mobile floor $219, mobile rack $379, horizontal $379, XL motorized $869. Stand sales are final. BON CHARGE’s path is one Super Max on a door, with pulley kit in the box. No live floor-stand SKU. A second Super Max is $3,198, still on door hooks.
Edge: Split. PlatinumLED wins modular coverage and a paid stand catalog. BON CHARGE wins the hang-it-tonight path, because Max and Super Max ship a pulley door kit and do not require a $379 rack to be usable on a door.
Modes and session style
BioMax Pro adds five named Smart Therapy Modes, per-wavelength control, pulse 0 to 9,999 Hz, a full-feature remote, app, and voice. Classic BioMax keeps independent R+ and NIR+ dimming, no named presets, and no pulse. The company still recommends continuous output even on Pro. BON CHARGE mains panels handle power, a 5 to 30 minute timer, and red / NIR / both. There is no app and no named pulse mode. NIR goggles ship with BioMax panels and with BON CHARGE Demi, Max, Super Max, and Mini. Sessions may help. They are not a lab-laser protocol.
Edge: PlatinumLED Pro on named modes, pulse, and app. BON CHARGE on simple red / NIR / both with no app.
What ships in the box
PlatinumLED BioMax and BioMax Pro panels ship with a door-hook kit, goggles (described as optional), and a remote. Stands are sold separately. Live BON CHARGE What’s Included lists, pulled 1 September 2026:
- Bullet: device, battery charger, rechargeable battery, USB cable. No goggles listed on that card.
- Mini: device, USB charger, travel case, protective goggles. Mini Stand is not in the box.
- Demi: device, power cord, protective goggles. No door kit.
- Max: device, power cord, two braided steel cables, threaded posts, protective goggles, height-adjusting pulley, door mount.
- Super Max: same hanging kit as Max, plus the 31 lb panel, power cord, and goggles.
The door kit is the included BON CHARGE mount. Goggles for the Bullet, if wanted, are a $19.99 accessory in the related-products rail. HSA/FSA eligibility is stated on the live BON CHARGE panel pages. Plan approval still sits with the buyer.
Edge: BON CHARGE on Max and Super Max out-of-box hanging hardware. PlatinumLED on a broader paid-mount catalog once the buyer leaves the door hook.
User reviews
Public reviews are scored from independent Trustpilot listings pulled 1 September 2026. Manufacturer on-site stars are a different dataset and are not mixed in. Direct Trustpilot HTML fetch returned a bot-challenge or timeout here, so score and count were confirmed from the live Trustpilot result index for those URLs the same day.
Trustpilot · PlatinumLED
4.1 / 5
133 reviews on trustpilot.com/review/platinumtherapylights.com, checked 1 September 2026.
Praise centers on device quality, setup, and perceived recovery or sleep changes. Complaints center on price, packaging, unsuitable stands, and support friction on exchanges. The 133-review sample is modest for a 15-year panel brand.
Trustpilot · BON CHARGE
4.4 / 5
1,510 reviews on trustpilot.com/review/www.blublox.com, checked 1 September 2026. The listing still uses the legacy BluBlox domain. BON CHARGE currently replies to about 49% of negative reviews on that page.
The 1,510-review sample is large and covers the whole wellness shop, not panels alone. Praise centers on product quality, sleep and skin comments, and shipping. Complaints center on support, and on bulbs or devices that failed after a short period. Panel-only buyers should read that mix as a brand sample, not as 1,510 Super Max reviews.
User reviews go to BON CHARGE: 4.4 from 1,510 versus 4.1 from 133. Score plus sample size, not vibes. On-site stars stay off this row. The larger BON CHARGE sample is also a broader catalog sample. That caveat is noted. It does not flip the row back to PlatinumLED.
Edge: BON CHARGE on public Trustpilot score and sample size.
Trial, returns, warranty, and shipping
PlatinumLED: 60 days from delivery, panels only. Elective returns take a 20% restock plus customer-paid return shipping, original packaging, all accessories, sellable condition, written authorization, and receipt by day 60. A signed delivery is treated as used. Stands are not eligible. A $1,599 Ultra is a $320 restock plus shipping if it comes back. Warranty is three years. Shipping is free in the US, UK, and Canada on the live brand copy.
BON CHARGE: 30-day return for exchange, refund, or store credit. Customer pays return shipping unless the unit is faulty. No restocking fee is stated. Warranty is one year from purchase, plus lifetime technical support as stated on the live FAQs. Free shipping on orders over $125. Sixty days is twice thirty. Twenty percent restock is a real PlatinumLED cost. One year is shorter than three.
Edge: PlatinumLED on trial length and warranty years. BON CHARGE on restocking fee (none stated) and on a simpler 30-day returns badge. Model the 20% PlatinumLED restock before treating 60 days as free.
A note on FDA
Every home red light panel sold in the United States is FDA-registered, a listing not clearance. PlatinumLED uses clinical-grade, medical-grade quality, and FDA Class II wording for that same listing. BON CHARGE describes itself as FDA-registered, with CE and FCC also cited, and does not need a marketing-honesty flag on that point. Neither brand is presented here as treating disease. Clinical-grade on a manufacturer page is not a unique performance class.
Pricing: an apples-to-apples comparison
Both brands sell a 35 to 36 inch panel near $1,300 to $1,600. The entry aisles are not the same product. A $199 torch is not a $659 tabletop panel. Totals below add the stand or hanging kit each setup actually needs. Two panels add coverage, not irradiance on one spot. No coupon is invented for either brand. TOP10 6% is RLT Home only and appears in the funnel section, not as a PlatinumLED or BON CHARGE code.
Tier 1: Handheld and tabletop
| Item | PlatinumLED BioMax Pro Nano | BON CHARGE Demi / Mini / Bullet |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs | 144 single-chip | Demi 60 dual-chip; Mini 12 x 3W; Bullet 3 |
| Panel dimensions | 18.90 x 8.66 x 2.76 in | Demi 14.96 x 8.66 in; Mini 5.9 x 3.7 in; Bullet torch |
| Panel price | $799 | Demi $699; Mini $299; Bullet $199 |
| Stand | Tabletop $119 extra | Demi none; Mini Stand $50 extra; Bullet none |
| Realistic total | $918 | $699 / $349 / $199 |
| Body coverage | Face, desk, small target, 7-band | Spot (Bullet), handheld (Mini), small mains panel (Demi) |
| Spectrum | 7-band including 1060 nm | 660/850 (Bullet also lists 630 nm) |
BON CHARGE wins the entry sticker. BioMax 300 plus a $119 tabletop is $778, still above Demi at $699 and Mini at $349 with stand. Those cheaper devices give up 810, 830, and 1060 nm. A $199 torch has no PlatinumLED panel peer; BioMax GO at $299 is still a 660/850 handheld.
Tier 2: Tall narrow panel
| Item | PlatinumLED BioMax Pro Grande | BON CHARGE Max |
|---|---|---|
| LEDs | 288 single-chip | 200 dual-chip |
| Panel dimensions | 35.04 x 8.66 x 2.76 in | 35.8 x 8.37 x 2.56 in |
| Panel price | $1,299 | $999 |
| Stand / hang | Door hook in box; floor rack $379 extra | Door pulley kit in box |
| Realistic total on a door | $1,299 | $999 |
| Realistic total on a rack | $1,678 | No live floor-stand SKU |
| Body coverage | Tall half-body, 9-inch class width, 7-band | Tall half-body, 8.4-inch width, 660/850 |
Classic BioMax 600 at $1,049 is the closer sticker to Max. Max still wins hang-and-go at $999. Grande wins LED count, seven bands, and 90-degree optics. Midi at $999 matches Max’s price with a 19-inch chassis, so that is not the same coverage class.
Tier 3: 36 x 12 class
| Item | PlatinumLED BioMax Pro Ultra | PlatinumLED BioMax 900 | BON CHARGE Super Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEDs | 432 single-chip | 300 single-chip | 300 dual-chip |
| Panel dimensions | 35.83 x 11.81 x 2.76 in | 35.83 x 11.81 x 2.76 in | 35.5 x 11.8 x 2.56 in |
| Panel price | $1,599 | $1,299 | $1,599 |
| Stand / hang | Door hook in box; rack $379; XL motorized $869 | Same mount catalog | Door pulley kit in box |
| Realistic door total | $1,599 | $1,299 | $1,599 |
| Independent spectrometer | LTI ~120 peak / ~101 avg | LTI ~113 peak / 90.3 avg at 6 in | Brand >162, distance unstated |
| Spectrum | 7-band including 1060 nm | 7-band including 1060 nm | 660 nm + 850 nm |
| Body coverage | Torso-and-thigh in one stance | Same height class | Same height class |
Super Max and Pro Ultra share $1,599. BioMax 900 undercuts both at $1,299 with the same footprint and a published LTI average. Super Max still wins the in-box pulley kit. Pro Ultra wins LED count and the independent spectrometer pair. BON CHARGE has no live rolling rack on 1 September 2026.
Tier 4: Two-panel full-body
| Item | PlatinumLED Pro Nano + Grande | PlatinumLED Ultra + Ultra | Two BON CHARGE Super Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live panel total | $1,998 | $3,098 | $3,198 |
| Stand | $379 rack or $869 motorized | Same | Two door kits (included) |
| Realistic total | $2,377 to $2,867 | $3,477 to $3,967 | $3,198 on two doors |
| Body coverage | Stacked 7-band, zero-gap on Pro | Widest Pro stack | Front and back 660/850, still 35.5 in each |
Two Super Max panels create two 35-inch planes, not a 70-inch chassis. Nano + Grande at $1,998 plus a $379 stand is the cheaper 7-band full-body path here.
Who should buy PlatinumLED
Buy PlatinumLED if the cart is a panel. The 7-band list including 1060 nm, 90-degree flood, and BioMax Pro density are why this page crowns it for most panel buyers. Pro Ultra is the $1,599 36 x 12 pick with 432 LEDs and an LTI pair. BioMax 900 is the $1,299 pick if Pro modes are optional. Nano + Grande plus a $379 stand is the modular full-body path. Stay for a three-year warranty and a 60-day calendar. Model the 20% restock. Sessions may help. The panel is FDA-registered, not cleared.
Who should buy BON CHARGE (the genuine runner-up niche)
Buy BON CHARGE if the brief is 660 nm and 850 nm, a door, and a catalog that also sells glasses, masks, and mats. Bullet $199 and Mini $299 are the entry stickers PlatinumLED does not match with a panel. Max $999 with a pulley kit is the hang-it-tonight tall panel. Super Max $1,599 matches Pro Ultra’s sticker with a two-band array and no live floor stand. Stay for Trustpilot 4.4 from 1,510 reviews and a 30-day return with no restocking fee stated. Do not expect 810, 830, or 1060 nm or a three-year warranty. Sessions may help. The panel is FDA-registered, not cleared.

Verdict
Overall winner
🏆 PlatinumLED for most panel buyers
Seven-band mix including 1060 nm, 90-degree flood, Light Therapy Insiders spectrometer files, BioMax Pro density at 432 LEDs on Ultra, a three-year warranty, and a 60-day calendar. BioMax 900 at $1,299 undercuts Super Max on the same footprint. Ultra matches Super Max at $1,599 with a measured power file Super Max has not published. Full-body is a stack plus a stand, with a 20 percent restocking fee if the stack comes back.
Runner-up niche
🥈 BON CHARGE for door-hung 660/850 lifestyle buyers
Bullet $199 and Mini $299 open an aisle PlatinumLED does not have. Max and Super Max hang on a door out of the box. Trustpilot 4.4 from 1,510 reviews on www.blublox.com beats 4.1 from 133. No restocking fee is stated. The rest of the shop (glasses, masks, PEMF, sauna) is the catalog, not a distraction. One-year warranty and a two-band panel are the trade.
If the cart is one 36 x 12 panel and the buyer wants printed spectrometer numbers plus seven bands, BioMax 900 or Pro Ultra is the PlatinumLED pick and the overall pairing winner. If the cart is a 660/850 door-hung panel, a $199 torch, or a Trustpilot sample in the thousands, Super Max or Max is the BON CHARGE pick and a genuine runner-up, not a leftover. Sessions with either may help. Neither is FDA-cleared as a home medical treatment.
FAQ
Does PlatinumLED beat BON CHARGE on power?
On independent spectrometer figures, yes, because PlatinumLED has them and BON CHARGE has not published a matching file. LTI measured BioMax 900 at about 113 peak / 90.3 average at 6 inches and Pro Ultra at about 120 / 101. BON CHARGE tags Super Max >162 mW/cm² with no public instrument and no public distance. This page does not convert that headline into a six-inch peer.
Is dual-chip worse than single-chip?
It is a different package, not a defect. Dual-chip 5W LEDs put two dies under one lens, usually red and near-infrared, which can mix those bands at the surface. Single-chip sends all of a package’s drive into one wavelength, which can mean a cleaner peak and more power per nanometer. PlatinumLED argues for single-chip. BON CHARGE ships dual-chip on Demi, Max, and Super Max. This page records both facts. The spectrometer row already includes the result of PlatinumLED’s choice.
