MAX 2.0 $1,999.95, 630 / 660 / 850 nm, 10-year warranty.
Wavelengths and density
MitoPRO X lists six bands (590, 630, 660, 810, 830, 850 nm). MitoADAPT 4.0 adds 670 and 940 nm. MitoMIN / MID / MAX / MEGA 2.0 use 660 and 850 nm. Per-band share is not fully published on every line.
Mychondria MyLight 2.0 panels use 630 and 660 nm red plus 850 nm near infrared at a published 1:1:2 ratio, so half of each panel is 850 nm. Density matters more than count, and only Mychondria publishes a full 1:1:2 split.
Edge: Mychondria on published share. Mito on band range.
Power and Irradiance: Spectrometer Readings
Light Therapy Insiders (LTI) measured Mito panels with a spectrometer at 6 inches: MitoPRO 300X about 60 mW/cm² peak and 51.8 average; MitoPRO 1500+ class about 87 peak and 76.5 average. Brand solar-meter twin figures are not used.
Mychondria publishes spectrometer readings taken with a named instrument, a HOPOO HPCS-330Pro, at the centre of the panel at 100% output and 6 inches: MIDI 2.0 89.0, MAX 2.0 72.0 and PRO 2.0 66.0 mW/cm². These are brand-published, not independent. Mychondria’s solar-meter figures are not used.
Mito’s figures are independent and include peak and average. Mychondria’s are brand-published centre-of-panel readings. The testers differ, so the two are not ranked against each other on power.
Edge: Mito on independent data. Not ranked on power.
FDA, returns, and warranty
Mito uses FDA-registered Class II wording for its panels. openFDA returned no 510(k) for Mito Red Light panel lines on 6 November 2026. The MitoGLOW mask is a different product. Panels are registered, not cleared.
Mito offers a 60-day trial with no restocking fee; the customer pays return shipping unless the optional paid returns add-on was bought at checkout. Flagship MitoPRO X, MitoPRO+, and MitoADAPT lines carry a 3-year warranty; the 2.0 series (MitoMIN / MID / MAX / MEGA) carries 2 years.
Mychondria pages say “FDA registered”. openFDA returned no Mychondria 510(k) on 6 November 2026. Not cleared.
Mychondria gives 60 calendar days from delivery to request a return, in original condition and packaging, and issues the return label at its own expense; third-party costs such as customs are non-refundable. Warranty: 10 years on manufacturing faults, 2 years on stands, cords and other wear parts (mychondria.com refund policy).
Edge: Mychondria on warranty and return shipping. Neither is FDA-cleared.
