Wavelengths and density
NrG Light panels list nine wavelengths: 530 nm green, 590 nm amber, 630, 660 and 670 nm red, and 810, 830, 850 and 1060 nm near infrared. NrG does not publish the share per band, but each channel dims from 0 to 100%, and panels pulse from 1 to 10,000 Hz.
Bon Charge Mini, Demi, Max and Super Max panels use 660 nm red and 850 nm near infrared. The Bullet handheld also lists 630 nm. Per-band share is not published. Density matters more than count, and neither brand publishes a full LED split.
Edge: NrG Light on per-channel control.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
NrG Light publishes its own spectrometer readings at 6 inches. On the PHOENIX page it names the instrument, an OHSP-350IR spectrometer, for 82.501 mW/cm² (nrglight.com/phoenix; the SPARK handheld reads 55.643 at 3 inches on the same instrument, nrglight.com/spark). The AURA (65.3 mW/cm²) and AURORA (75.1 mW/cm²) spec tables list “spectrometer irradiance” at 6 inches but do not name the instrument. NrG does not say whether any figure is a peak or an averaged reading. These are brand-published spectrometer readings, not independent third-party figures. NrG’s solar-meter figures are not used.
No named spectrometer reading for a Bon Charge panel was found on 10 November 2026. Brand-stated output figures do not name a measuring method or distance, so they are not used here.
Only NrG publishes spectrometer figures, and they are the brand’s own, so the two are not ranked against each other on power.
Edge: Not ranked on power.
FDA, returns, and warranty
NrG Light says its panels are FDA-listed Class II devices under product code ILY, a 510(k)-exempt infrared lamp classification. openFDA returned no NrG Light 510(k) on 10 November 2026. Listed, not cleared.
NrG Light accepts returns within 60 days of delivery with prior authorization, states no standard restocking fee, and the customer pays return shipping or freight on elective returns.

Bon Charge uses FDA-registered wording, along with CE and FCC marks. openFDA returned no BON CHARGE or BluBlox 510(k) on 10 November 2026. Registered, not cleared.
Bon Charge accepts elective returns within 30 days of receipt for an exchange, refund or store credit, and the customer pays return shipping. If a product is not of acceptable quality, Bon Charge pays return shipping. Red light devices carry a 1-year warranty (boncharge.com refund policy, 10 November 2026).
Edge: NrG Light on warranty and return window. Neither is FDA-cleared.
