Red Light Man vs RLT Home (2026)
Medical review: Articles on Red Light Therapy Top 10 are reviewed for scientific accuracy by our medical expert team. This page is wellness information, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. Sessions with red or near-infrared light may help recovery-oriented or skin-oriented routines. They are not a treatment for disease.
Red Light Man is a Manchester family shop that has sold targeted red and near-infrared devices since 2014. The pairing that matters here is the 12 x 12 x 16 cm Red-Infrared Combo Light and the 115 cm Combo Bodylight 2.0, both running 620, 670, 760, and 830 nm at 25 percent each, plus the red-only and infrared-only cubes. RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, ULTRA, and ELITE are a five-rung body-panel ladder with a published seven-band mix (480, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850, 1064 nm), six-inch spectrometer peaks, nine science-built modes, and a stand in every box. This is not Red Therapy Co, and it is not Recover Red. It is also not Red Light Rising. Those are different companies.
Winner summary
Overall winner: RLT Home
Red Light Man prices come from live product pages on redlightman.com on 1 September 2026. The storefront we pulled publishes USD, labelled Ex. VAT. Combo Light $275, Combo Bodylight 2.0 $799, Red Light Device $310 (compare-at $372). The 13 August 2026 pack listed those same numbers as GBP. That GBP display was not the live view we received. Terms on redlightman.com/terms-conditions/ say UK addresses are charged in GBP with VAT included, and other currencies are bank or PayPal exchange-rate conversions. We did not get a live GBP sticker from the pages pulled today, so this article quotes the published USD Ex. VAT figures and does not invent a GBP checkout. RLT Home prices come from redlighttherapyhome.com/products.json the same day. Code TOP10 is 6% off current RLT Home live prices only, rounded to the nearest dollar. There is no Red Light Man discount code in this article.
At-a-glance verdict: RLT Home is the better fit for most buyers who want a published seven-band mix, six-inch spectrometer peaks, a stand in the price, and a panel that covers more than a 12 cm cube or a 17 cm-wide strip. Red Light Man is the runner-up when the job is a Manchester-made COB cube, a 620/670/760/830 mix at 25 percent each, a hang kit instead of a floor stand, and a published grounding claim on the shell.

Trustpilot at write time
Public reviews are a ranking criterion on this page. Scores come from independent Trustpilot listings pulled 1 September 2026. Manufacturer on-site star widgets are a different dataset and are not mixed in. Award is score plus sample size, not vibes. RLT Home does not automatically win this row.
Red Light Man
4.9 / 5
Eighty-one reviews is a real sample, not a thin listing of a handful of scores. The TrustScore sits above RLT Home’s 4.6. The sample is smaller. Score plus sample size still awards this row to Red Light Man on the higher score with a usable count.
RLT Home
4.6 / 5
Larger sample, slightly lower score. That is why this row is not an automatic RLT Home win. The 243-review pile is still the bigger dataset if you weight count over TrustScore.

The brands at a glance
Red Light Man
Manchester COB cubes, 620/670/760/830 mix, hang kit
Red Light Man Ltd ships from the UK. The about page dates the site to late 2014. The UK page names Manchester. Combo devices run four wavelengths together. There is no selectable red-only / NIR-only switch on the combo SKUs. A 2016-era blog Q&A on the site still says you do not need to switch between the different wavelengths. That is a catalog fact, not a smear.
COB (chip-on-board) is the construction story on the Combo Light, the Red Light Device, and the Infrared Light Device. High packing density of LED chips on one board. Combo Bodylight 2.0 is the tall SKU at 115 x 17 x 7 cm with 200 LEDs. Its live page does not name COB, so this article does not paste the COB label onto that panel.
RLT Home
Published density, seven bands, usage plan
RLT Home’s line is RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, ULTRA, and ELITE. The brand publishes LED percentage for seven wavelengths, including 480 nm blue at 6% and 1064 nm at 14%. Nine prebuilt modes were built from the Vladimir Heiskanen photobiomodulation database. After purchase, the science team writes a free personalised weekly usage plan.
Devices stay offline. Spectrometer peaks are published at six inches for every model. Stands ship in the box, motorized electric on RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA and ELITE. Trial: 60 days, no restocking fee, free insured return shipping. Warranty: 3 years on panels. Home panels are FDA-registered, not cleared.
Wavelength density, not wavelength count
Red Light Man Combo Light and Combo Bodylight 2.0 put the whole array on four peaks at equal share: 620 nm 25%, 670 nm 25%, 760 nm 25%, 830 nm 25%. That is a density choice. Buyers who want orange-red, deep red, 760 nm, and 830 nm, with no 480 nm blue and no 1064 nm, get a simpler mix. Four named bands is not automatically worse than seven. Density is the fight. Equal 25 percent slices is a real mix, not a smear.
RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, and ELITE publish this LED share: 480 nm 6%, 630 nm 19%, 660 nm 19%, 810 nm 19%, 830 nm 14%, 850 nm 9%, 1064 nm 14%. RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA is 480 nm 5%, 630 nm 20%, 660 nm 20%, 810 nm 20%, 830 nm 13%, 850 nm 8%, 1064 nm 14%. RLT Home still puts a real 19% (20% on ULTRA) on 810 nm, a real 14% on 1064 nm, and a small 480 nm surface band. Red Light Man combo SKUs have none of those three. They instead concentrate on 620, 670, 760, and 830.
The Red Light Device is a different cube: 610 nm 25%, 630 nm 25%, 670 nm 50%. The Infrared Light Device is 760 nm 50% and 830 nm 50%. Those two SKUs do not run the four-band combo mix.
| Band | Red Light Man Combo Light / Bodylight 2.0 | RLT Home Total Spectrum (MINI / COMPACT / MAX / ELITE share) |
|---|---|---|
| 480 nm (blue) | Not in the mix | 6% (5% on ULTRA) |
| 610 / 620 nm (orange-red) | 620 nm at 25% | Not listed as a 620 nm band |
| 630 nm (red) | Not in the combo mix (present on the Red Light Device at 25%) | 19% (20% on ULTRA) |
| 660 / 670 nm (deep red) | 670 nm at 25% | 660 nm at 19% (20% on ULTRA) |
| 760 nm (red-infrared) | 760 nm at 25% | Not listed as a 760 nm band |
| 810 nm (near infrared) | Not in the mix | 19% (20% on ULTRA) |
| 830 nm (near infrared) | 830 nm at 25% | 14% (13% on ULTRA) |
| 850 nm (near infrared) | Not in the mix | 9% (8% on ULTRA) |
| 1064 nm (deep infrared) | Not in the mix | 14% |
Sessions with 670 nm or 830 nm may help people who want those peaks. Sessions with 810 nm or 1064 nm may help people who specifically want those deeper bands. Neither claim is a diagnosis. The 620/670/760/830 quartet is Red Light Man’s published recipe. It is not a missing 660/850 clone, and it is not a defect.
Edge: Red Light Man on a published 25/25/25/25 mix at 620, 670, 760, and 830 nm. RLT Home on published seven-band share, including 480 nm, 810 nm, and 1064 nm. Counting peaks without share is the wrong fight.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Spectrometer figures belong with spectrometer figures. Brand-stated 200 mW/cm² at 15 cm, 1000 at surface, or 100 at 20 cm with an unnamed method is not comparable to a third-party spectrometer peak. This page keeps those numbers on separate rows. COB high density is a catalog fact about packing, not a smear, and it is not mixed into the spectrometer column. Peak is compared with peak. Average with average. Solar-meter readings are not mixed with spectrometer readings.
Spectrometer (independent, named method on RLT Home)
| Model | Spectrometer peak at 6 inches |
|---|---|
| Red Light Man Combo Light | Not published |
| Red Light Man Combo Bodylight 2.0 | Not published |
| Red Light Man Red Light Device | Not published |
| Red Light Man Infrared Light Device | Not published |
| RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI | 98.7 mW/cm² |
| RLT Home Total Spectrum COMPACT | 99.0 mW/cm² |
| RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX | 100.53 mW/cm² |
| RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA | 119.28 mW/cm² |
| RLT Home Total Spectrum ELITE | 121.62 mW/cm² |
RLT Home publishes these peaks on its third-party testing page. Red Light Man does not publish a spectrometer trace, an instrument name, or a lab report on the pages pulled 1 September 2026. Unpublished is unpublished. That gap is why the spectrometer row is not a mixed-instrument shootout, and it is not a claim that the Combo Light is weak.
Brand-stated table (Red Light Man product pages, method unstated)
| Model | Brand-stated irradiance |
|---|---|
| Combo Light | Up to 1000 mW/cm² at surface. 200 mW/cm² at 15 cm. 20 mW/cm² at 45 cm. Method not named. |
| Combo Bodylight 2.0 | Up to 250 mW/cm² at surface. 100 mW/cm² at 20 cm. 20 mW/cm² at 150 cm. Method not named. No 6-inch figure. |
| Red Light Device | 200 mW/cm² at 8 cm. 20 mW/cm² at 42 cm. Method not named. No 6-inch figure. |
| Infrared Light Device | Up to 1200 mW/cm² density. 200 mW/cm² at 10 cm. Method not named. No 6-inch figure. |
Those distances are useful as Red Light Man’s own table. They are not a win against a spectrometer, and they are not a loss against a spectrometer. RLT Home also publishes solar-meter figures at eight inches (about 170 to 179 mW/cm²). Those stay in their own bucket too. COB packing can raise local power density on a small face. That is construction, not a third-party trace.
Edge: No irradiance winner across instruments. RLT Home wins the spectrometer-documentation row because the peaks exist. Red Light Man’s 200 / 1000 / 100 table is disclosed, not hidden, and is not ranked as weak for honesty.
COB, single-chip, and dual-chip
Red Light Man’s Combo Light, Red Light Device, and Infrared Light Device use a COB LED system. The live Combo Light page calls it chip-on-board packing for higher density. The Red Light Device page describes a large central COB surrounded by mini-COBs. That is the construction story. It is a catalog fact. It is not a smear, and it is not a spectrometer reading.
Combo Bodylight 2.0 lists 200 high power LEDs and a 30-degree lens. The live page does not say COB. Construction for that SKU stays unpublished beyond “high power LEDs.”
RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, and ELITE use single-chip 5W LEDs. RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA is listed as 3535 Dual LED. Single-chip puts one wavelength on one die, which keeps a cleaner peak and puts that die’s power into one band. Dual-chip splits one package across two wavelengths, which can spread surface coverage. Dual-chip is a fact, not a smear. Neither construction is described here as a defect. Construction is not output.
Edge: Red Light Man on published COB packing for the cubes. RLT Home on a named single-chip line, with ULTRA as the dual-chip exception. Combo Bodylight 2.0 LED type remains unpublished as COB.
Coverage and like-for-like size
The Combo Light is 12 x 12 x 16 cm, about 4.7 inches on the face. It is a targeted cube, not a 12-inch panel. Capable of covering a circular area up to 50 cm (20 inches) in diameter, per the live page. That is a hangable, tabletop, handheld job. It is not a torso-height chassis.
Combo Bodylight 2.0 is 115 x 17 x 7 cm, about 45.3 x 6.7 x 2.8 inches, 8 kg. The brand calls it full body, head to toe. Height is in the same neighbourhood as a mid panel. Width is 17 cm. RLT Home Total Spectrum panels are about 11.8 inches wide (RLT Home Total Spectrum ELITE 20.5 inches). A 6.7-inch strip can cover height. It cannot clone width. That is a catalog fact, not an invented weakness.
Tier 1: Targeted cube, Combo Light vs RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI

Tier 3: Full-body chassis, no Red Light Man clone vs RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA and ELITE
| Item | Red Light Man | RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA | RLT Home Total Spectrum ELITE |
|---|---|---|---|
| LEDs | No 64-inch or 20-inch-wide panel in the live catalog. Combo Bodylight 2.0 at 115 cm is the tall SKU. | 480 Dual LED, 7 bands | 864 x 5W, 7 bands |
| Panel dimensions (H x W) | Tallest panel is 115 x 17 cm | 64.3 x 11.8 x 3 in | 65 x 20.5 x 2.4 in |
| Panel price | Not applicable at this chassis | $2,595 (compare-at $2,995). TOP10 $2,439 | $4,495 (compare-at $4,995). TOP10 $4,225 |
| Stand | Not offered as a motorized lie-under stand | Electric stand included | Electric stand included |

| Realistic total | Not offered | $2,595, or $2,439 with TOP10 | $4,495, or $4,225 with TOP10 |
Edge: Red Light Man on a cheap targeted cube and a $799 hang strip. RLT Home on every height that exists as a 12-inch-class panel, and on the 64-inch and 65-inch chassis Red Light Man does not sell.
Modes, grounding, and the usage plan
Combo devices run all wavelengths together. There is no selectable red-only or infrared-only mode on the Combo Light or Combo Bodylight 2.0. That is a catalog fact. The Red Light Device and Infrared Light Device are separate SKUs if you want one band family. RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, ULTRA, and ELITE include nine prebuilt modes (Skin and Anti-Aging, Pain and Inflammation, Sleep, Fat Burn and Weight Loss, Mental Health and Brain, Hair Growth, Acne, Wound Healing, Full Power) plus a custom four-channel mode. After checkout, the science team emails a free personalised weekly plan. No account, no cloud log of your sessions.
Red Light Man publishes grounding language on the Combo Light, Combo Bodylight, and cube pages. Touching the plugged-in device, even when it is off, is described as a natural electrical connection to Earth that cuts the AC electric field. The method is not named as a lab protocol. Do not mix that brand claim with RLT Home’s Cornet meter figure of about 0.0 uT at 6 inches. Those are different rows. Grounding is a Red Light Man feature they disclose. It is not an independent EMF lab report, and it is not treated here as a fake weakness on the other side.
Edge: Red Light Man for a published grounding claim on the shell and a simple all-on combo. RLT Home for nine named on-device modes plus a human-written weekly plan, and for staying offline.
In the box, stands, and goggles
Combo Light box (live What’s in the box, 1 September 2026): the device, a power cord with the country’s plug type, hanging kit, user guide. Combo Bodylight 2.0: the panel, a 4 m / 13 ft power cord, hanging kit, user guide. Red Light Device and Infrared Light Device: device, power cord, hanging/mounting kit, instruction leaflet. No floor stand. No goggles listed.
Combo Bodylight copy states that safety goggles are not necessary with that product, that closing your eyes is usually enough for face use, and that LED red light is not a laser source. That is brand language. This page does not invent included goggles, and it does not convert that sentence into a medical safety claim. House voice: eye protection is still a buyer choice if bright visible red is uncomfortable.
RLT Home includes a stand in every Total Spectrum price: non-electric on RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, and MAX, motorized on RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA and ELITE. Two types of eye protection ship in the box. Shipping is free and insured on the live catalog.
Edge: Red Light Man on a hang kit already in a $275 cube. RLT Home on stand-plus-goggles already in the sticker.
Trial, shipping, and warranty
Red Light Man’s delivery page (live 1 September 2026) is a full 30-day trial of any product. Full refund of the product price. Original shipping charges are not refundable. Return delivery is arranged and funded by the customer. The product must be in full working order and as-new condition. Worldwide free standard shipping is stated on the product pages. Terms add that some countries have a minimum order value for free shipping, and that faster options cost extra.
Warranty is 3 years on products if they stop working after the date you receive them, with a possible request for photos, video, or a return to verify failure. Accessories such as power cords have a 1-year warranty. Confirmed on redlightman.com/terms-conditions/ and on the 3-year warranty badge on live product pages. The August 2026 pack listed 1 year. That pack figure is stale against today’s terms.
RLT Home is 60 days, no restocking fee, and free insured return shipping. Warranty is 3 years on panels and 1 year on stands. Shipping is listed as free and insured.
Three years versus three years on the hardware is even. Thirty days versus sixty, and buyer-funded returns versus prepaid insured labels, is not even. Buyers who accept a 30-day trial and paying the original outbound shipping plus the return label are the Red Light Man niche. Buyers who want sixty days and prepaid return labels are the RLT Home niche.
Edge: Even on the 3-year hardware warranty. RLT Home on trial length and return shipping. Red Light Man on worldwide free standard shipping from a UK warehouse, including a 30-day try-at-home on the product price.
FDA wording
Red Light Man is a UK company. FDA registration or 510(k) clearance is not published on the live Combo Light, Combo Bodylight, Red Light Device, or terms pages pulled 1 September 2026. Unpublished is unpublished. This page does not invent an FDA listing, a 510(k) K-number, or a US device classification for Red Light Man. Combo Light lists RoHS, FCC, and CE compliance tests. Combo Bodylight lists FCC and CE. Those are the published marks.
RLT Home home panels are FDA-registered, not cleared. Registration is a listing. It is not a clinical approval to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Do not read the RLT Home badge as clearance, and do not invent a matching US listing for a UK shop that has not published one.
Edge: RLT Home on a published FDA-registered listing for home panels. Red Light Man on published RoHS, FCC, and CE marks, with FDA unpublished as a UK brand.

GBP was not the live display on the pages we pulled. Terms say UK checkouts are GBP with VAT included. Treat any 13 August 2026 GBP pack sticker as stale until a UK view is sitting in front of you. RLT Home, from redlighttherapyhome.com/products.json, same day. TOP10 is 6% off these live prices, nearest dollar:
- RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI $495 (compare-at $695), TOP10 $465. Non-electric stand included.
- RLT Home Total Spectrum COMPACT $995 (compare-at $1,295), TOP10 $935. Non-electric stand included.
- RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX $1,595 (compare-at $1,995), TOP10 $1,499. Non-electric stand included.
- RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA $2,595 (compare-at $2,995), TOP10 $2,439. Motorized stand included.
- RLT Home Total Spectrum ELITE $4,495 (compare-at $4,995), TOP10 $4,225. Motorized stand included.
On the small-device rung, the Combo Light is $220 below RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI before TOP10, and $190 below RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI after TOP10 ($275 vs $465). That is not a reason to pretend the two devices are the same recipe. The Combo Light is a 12 cm COB cube with a 620/670/760/830 mix. RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI is a seven-band 5W panel with a 98.7 mW/cm² spectrometer peak and a stand in the box. Combo Bodylight 2.0 at $799 undercuts RLT Home Total Spectrum COMPACT on sticker and undercuts RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX by a wide gap, on a 17 cm-wide hang strip rather than an 11.8-inch panel with a stand.

- Live in the UK or want a UK VAT-registered family shop, and you are not shopping Red Therapy Co or Recover Red by mistake
This is Red Light Man (redlightman.com), Manchester, since 2014. It is not Red Light Rising, not Red Therapy Co, and not Recover Red.
Who RLT Home is for
Best fit for most buyers
Seven-band density, published six-inch data, and a size ladder
- Want 480 nm, 630 nm, 810 nm, 850 nm, and 1064 nm in the mix, with published LED share, not only 620/670/760/830
- Want six-inch spectrometer peaks on every RLT Home Total Spectrum panel, and you refuse to mix unnamed-instrument 200-at-15-cm claims into that column
- Want a stand in the box, two types of eyewear, nine modes plus a custom channel mix, and a free weekly plan
- Want a three-year warranty and free insured returns on a 60-day trial
- Want an in-stock path from RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI ($495, $465 TOP10) through COMPACT, MAX, ULTRA, and ELITE
The verdict: winner and runner up
RLT Home takes the overall win for most buyers. Red Light Man earns a credible runner-up spot where its philosophy fits: a UK Manchester COB enthusiast, a targeted Combo Light, a 620/670/760/830 mix at 25 percent each, and a published grounding claim. That is not a dual trophy. It is one winner and one named niche.
🏆 Winner
RLT Home, for most buyers
For buyers who want a published seven-band mix (including 480 nm, 810 nm, and 1064 nm), spectrometer peaks at six inches across RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI, COMPACT, MAX, ULTRA, and ELITE, nine science-built modes, a free personalised weekly plan, free insured returns, a three-year warranty, and in-stock panels with stands, RLT Home is the stronger overall choice.
TOP10 drops RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI to $465, COMPACT to $935, MAX to $1,499, ULTRA to $2,439, and ELITE to $4,225. RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI is then $190 above the Combo Light. The 30-inch through 65-inch rungs, with stands, are the ones Red Light Man is not stocking as 12-inch-class panels on 1 September 2026.
🥈 Runner up
Red Light Man, for the COB cube, the 620/670/760/830 mix, and grounding
For buyers who want a 12 x 12 cm hangable COB Combo Light, a 115 cm Combo Bodylight 2.0, four bands at 25 percent each, a published grounding claim, and a $275 or $799 sticker from a Manchester shop, Red Light Man is the better fit. The 30-day trial, buyer-funded returns, unnamed-method irradiance, and unpublished FDA listing are part of that niche, not a smear. Independent spectrometer data is unpublished. Trustpilot 4.9 from 81 reviews is real and is why they take the reviews row.
Both offer a hardware warranty of three years on the main devices. Both ship worldwide on the terms they publish. The right choice is which job you are buying for, and whether you need a body-height panel with a stand.
Frequently asked questions
Who has better user reviews, Red Light Man or RLT Home?
On independent Trustpilot listings checked 1 September 2026, Red Light Man is 4.9 / 5 from 81 reviews on trustpilot.com/review/redlightman.com (UK listing 4.8 from 77). RLT Home is 4.6 / 5 from 243 reviews. Score plus sample size, not vibes: the reviews row goes to Red Light Man on the higher TrustScore with a usable 81-review sample. RLT Home has the larger pile. Manufacturer on-site stars are not mixed in.
Is Red Light Man underpowered compared with RLT Home?
Do not mix meters. Red Light Man states 200 mW/cm² at 15 cm and up to 1000 at surface on the Combo Light, with the instrument unnamed. Combo Bodylight 2.0 states 100 at 20 cm. RLT Home publishes six-inch spectrometer peaks from 98.7 to 121.62 mW/cm². Those columns are not comparable. COB high density is a packing fact, not a spectrometer figure. Independent spectrometer output for Red Light Man is unpublished.
Can I use the Combo Light instead of RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX?
No. The Combo Light is 12 x 12 x 16 cm and 42 LEDs. RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX is 49.2 x 11.8 inches and 360 LEDs, with a non-electric stand in the box, at $1,595 ($1,499 with TOP10). They do not cover the same body area. Combo Bodylight 2.0 is closer on height and still 17 cm wide.
Is TOP10 a Red Light Man coupon?
No. TOP10 is 6% off current RLT Home live prices only, rounded to the nearest dollar. This article does not invent a Red Light Man discount code. Red Light Man prices are the live manufacturer prices on redlightman.com, USD Ex. VAT as displayed on 1 September 2026.
Does Red Light Man have FDA clearance?
No published FDA registration or 510(k) was found on the live UK pages. Do not invent one. Combo Light lists RoHS, FCC, and CE. RLT Home home panels are FDA-registered, not cleared. Registration is a listing, not clearance.
Are goggles included with Red Light Man?
No. They are not in the box. Combo Bodylight copy says safety goggles are not necessary with that product. That is brand language. Eye protection is still a buyer choice. RLT Home ships two types of eyewear.
Is this the same brand as Red Therapy Co or Recover Red?
No. Red Light Man is redlightman.com, Manchester, UK, since 2014. Red Therapy Co and Recover Red are different companies. Red Light Rising is also a different UK shop.

Conclusion
Red Light Man and RLT Home are solving different jobs. Red Light Man wins a targeted 12 cm COB Combo Light, a 620/670/760/830 mix at 25 percent each, a published grounding claim, a $275 cube, and a 4.9 Trustpilot score from 81 reviews. RLT Home wins seven-band density including 480 nm, 810 nm, and 1064 nm, six-inch spectrometer peaks, nine modes plus a personalised plan, in-stock 30-inch through 65-inch panels with stands, a 60-day trial with free insured returns, and eyewear in the box. With TOP10, RLT Home Total Spectrum MINI is $465, RLT Home Total Spectrum COMPACT $935, RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX $1,499, RLT Home Total Spectrum ULTRA $2,439, and RLT Home Total Spectrum ELITE $4,225. The data favors RLT Home for most buyers, with Red Light Man the runner-up for the UK Manchester COB enthusiast niche. A $275 Combo Light still does not cover a body like RLT Home Total Spectrum MAX.
