Wavelengths and density
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.
BlockBlueLight Mini lists 660 and 850 nm. Larger PowerPanel models use a broader multi-band set; Mega and Ultimate XXL copy includes 1060 nm. A full per-band share is not published on every size. Density matters more than count, and only Mychondria publishes a full 1:1:2 split.
Edge: Mychondria on published share.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
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.
Light Therapy Insiders (LTI) measured a BlockBlueLight Mega panel with a spectrometer at 6 inches: about 105 mW/cm² peak and an 81 average. Brand-stated figures without a named spectrometer method are not used here.
BlockBlueLight’s Mega figure is independent and includes a peak and an average. Mychondria’s is a brand-published centre-of-panel reading. The testers and models differ, so the two are not ranked against each other on power.
Edge: BlockBlueLight on independent data. Not ranked on power.
FDA, returns, and warranty
