@karol I also made a video about this topic :D But I believe we have some experts in the group that have more experience in this topic. I know it's our favorite topic in the chat.

I use the Bestqool BQ60 but I would recommend the Bestqool Pro200. I belive it's the best price-performance ratio.

I can also recommend my cheap BQ60 panel if you are not willing to go all in with a more advanced panel from e.g. Mito Light as a first step: https://newzapiens.com/brands/bestqool

How about I introduce you to our light therapy education, and then you will know everything you need to know and can make a decision.

When I first became interested in red light therapy, I was looking for a product with similar requirements- affordable device for home and easy to use while being still trustworthy brand focused on quality. I came across a company called Mito Light . I purchased their bulb 4.0 model which is quite flexible for transporting, and directing it to any part of your body.

Pro

• I have it for 1.5 years easily, it works seamlessly

• It was affordable relative to other brands I checked

• I am seeing results - muscle soreness recovery, tighter skin, improved energy and mood too (hard to prove causality here as I do other things that target those areas too)

Con

• The bulb , while it is cheaper and flexible, it is not UX friendly . You need to hold it if you cannot place somewhere.

• It is small, so it cannot cover your whole body.

Small insight in how I use it: I always wear the goggles that come with it, I place it as instructed not too close. I started by using 5 min and slowly increased. I actually received a headache using it without goggles so I would recommend to be careful and read instructions. These days, I use it for 10-15 minutes multiple times a week

@karol what’s your primary goal? is it more about local effects like facial regeneration, glow, skin tone, and wrinkle reduction – or are you aiming for systemic effects on muscles, mitochondria, and overall energy?

I’m very interested in the topic myself and still wondering which type or size of device is best suited for covering both goals effectively – without going straight into a full red light sauna setup. Would love to hear what’s worked for the community and what you’d recommend for someone starting out!

🔴 Facial Panels (small, localized use)

🟥 Mid-size panels (e.g. chest, back, partial body)

🔥 Full-body panels or red light saunas

Did anyone transition from facial use to full-body – and feel a real difference? And is there a “sweet spot” setup that balances efficiency, cost, and systemic benefits without jumping straight into a sauna?

Appreciate any feedback, links, or thoughts! 🙏

@john-graham-harper sounds great, thank you! I’ll DM you my email.

Beyond your academy, what would you recommend as the most important areas to focus on when diving
deeper into red light therapy?

Also, what are your top 3–5 criteria you’d check before buying any product?

Thank you so much for your feedback, @fabian-praschl, @heiko-bartlog, @sofiya-popivanova

@andy, my main focus is on recovery and energy. Great question about the ideal size for a beginner panel.
Sofiya shared some helpful pros and cons from her experience with a smaller bulb.

Anyone else in the community have experiences to share on panel size or setup? Would love to hear more
perspectives!

@karol for me the BQ60 is a bit too small. That’s why I would recommend the Pro 200.

Hi @karol, red light is not my biggest area of expertise but in terms of local recovery, I've found the near IR light of FlexBeam to actually make a difference. https://recharge.health
