Trustpilot at write time

Red Light Rising
4.1 / 5
A solid sample with a good score.
Joovv
1.4 / 5
A moderate sample with a very low score. It is reported as listed, without speculating about causes.

Wavelengths and density
Red Light Rising Advantage panels use 630, 660, 810, 830, and 850 nm from 150 or 300 3W LEDs.
Joovv Generation 3.0 uses two bands, 660 nm red and 850 nm near infrared, at roughly an even split. Two well-studied bands at high density is a legitimate design; five bands gives broader coverage. Neither publishes a full per-band LED share for these models.
Edge: Red Light Rising on range.
Power and Irradiance: Measured by Independent Third Parties
Red Light Rising publishes in-house Hopoo OHSP-350F readings at 15 cm (which it labels 6 inches), after a 15-minute warm-up with multiple readings averaged: 86.4 mW/cm² average on the Advantage 450 / 900 spec table. It does not publish a peak. In-house is still in-house, and it is a different tester from LTI.
LTI measured a Joovv Solo 3.0 with a Hopoo Color OHSP-350F spectrometer: 72.4 mW/cm² peak and a 9-spot average of 59.2. Joovv tags Generation 3.0 devices “irradiance >100 mW/cm²” without naming the instrument and distance on the product feed; that is a brand claim and is kept separate.
Average to average, Red Light Rising’s 86.4 is higher than Joovv’s 59.2. Both used Hopoo OHSP-350F instruments, but one is in-house and one is LTI, so the edge carries a caveat. Peaks cannot be compared because Red Light Rising does not publish one.
Edge: Red Light Rising on average, with a tester caveat. Joovv on independent data.
FDA and certification wording
Red Light Rising is a UK brand that lists CE and RoHS. This page does not invent FDA registration or clearance for it.
Joovv badges its devices with Class II registration wording. openFDA returned no 510(k) for Joovv on 21 October 2026. Joovv’s own 11 April 2026 article says FDA registration “does not evaluate or certify device safety, performance, or engineering quality.” Registered is not cleared.
Edge: Even. Neither is FDA-cleared.
Trial and warranty
Red Light Rising offers a 365-day money-back trial on Advantage panels and Target Light handhelds (commercial buyers get 60 days), with the panel returned in full original packaging and return shipping paid by the customer. Advantage 450 and 900 carry a 3-year warranty.
Joovv gives Generation 3.0 modular devices a 60-day return period and a 2-year limited warranty. Original shipping is non-refundable and return shipping is the buyer’s cost; open-box and final-sale items are non-refundable.
Edge: Red Light Rising on trial and warranty.
