When most people start comparing red light panels, they first look at power, number of LEDs or price. But the factor that often has the greatest impact in practice is actually the size of the panel.
A larger panel not only means more LED lights. It also means that larger parts of the body can be treated at the same time, making it much more convenient to use in everyday life.
Therefore, size is often the most important factor to consider before choosing a model.
It's not about watts – it's about treatment area
Many people stick to wattage because it's easy to compare.
The problem is that watts don't tell you how much of the body is actually covered by the light.
Two panels can have similar technology but provide completely different user experiences depending on size.
A larger treatment area means you need to move the panel less between different areas, making the treatment both faster and more comfortable.
What areas do you want to treat?
The easiest way to choose the right size is to think about how you plan to use the panel.
| Area | Recommended size |
|---|---|
| Face and neck | Smaller panel |
| Neck and shoulders | Medium panel |
| Back and legs | Large panel |
| Multiple areas at the same time | Extra large panel |
The larger areas you want to cover, the more benefit you will get from a larger panel.
When is a smaller panel enough?
A smaller panel is often a good choice for those who primarily want to focus on the face, neck or other smaller treatment areas.
It takes up less space, is easy to move and can easily stand on a desk or bedside table.
The IT300 PRO MAX is developed for this type of use and is ideal for those who prioritize compact dimensions over maximum coverage.
That's why many people choose a larger panel
Many customers start with the idea that a smaller panel is enough.
However, when they compare the models, they quickly realize that a larger treatment area provides significantly greater flexibility.
A larger panel makes it possible to treat the back, shoulders, legs and other larger areas without having to move the panel as often. This saves time and makes use much more convenient.
For people who plan to use red light therapy regularly, this is often one of the biggest benefits.
IT900 or IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE?
It is one of the most common questions we receive.
Both models offer a significantly larger treatment area than the IT300 PRO MAX, but the IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE takes the concept one step further.
| Model | Best suited for |
|---|---|
| IT900 PRO MAX | Back, shoulders and larger areas |
| IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE | Large treatment areas and maximum coverage |
If you know you will be using red light therapy regularly, many customers choose the IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE right away. The larger surface area makes the treatment easier and more comfortable over time.
The most common mistake when buying a red light panel
The most common mistake is not buying a panel that is too large.
The most common mistake is buying a panel that later feels too small.
Once users have started using red light therapy, it is common for them to want to use the panel on more areas than they initially intended. In this case, a larger treatment area is often appreciated much more.
Therefore, we often recommend thinking long-term when choosing a model.
Infracenter's recommendation
If you primarily want to use red light therapy for the face and smaller areas, the IT300 PRO MAX is a very good choice.
If you want to treat larger areas of the body, the IT900 PRO MAX is a strong option.
If you want maximum flexibility, the largest treatment area and a solution that you are unlikely to outgrow, we recommend the IT1800 PRO MAX WIDE.
For many customers, it will be the model they wished they had chosen from the start.
