The term "5 W LED" used by some competitors is misleading. Therapy lights across the industry use the same size diodes, around 42–45 mm. A dual-chip design does not increase light output. PlatinumLED uses high-quality single-chip LEDs. There are no legitimate 5 W therapy LEDs.

Pulsing is an optional feature added in response to customer requests. There is no proven advantage to pulsed light. Optimal outcomes come from the device's power output and spectrum. Users can choose to use or ignore the pulsing feature.

Yes, BIOMAX PRO models allow you to independently control wavelength channels, so you can adjust or turn specific wavelengths on or off.
That said, most research on light therapy focuses on using red and near-infrared wavelengths together, as they are commonly studied in combination. For that reason, many users choose to run multiple wavelengths at once rather than isolating a single one.

Third-party output testing data, including joules and mW/cm², from an accredited lab is available on the Certifications/Testing page.

All models offer the same therapeutic benefits. The differences are in physical size, number of LEDs, and total output. The lights are modular, so you can connect units to build larger arrays. Larger units cover more of the body in a single session and deliver more overall light energy.

In Solo mode, the BIOMAX 900 outputs approximately 490 W. When connected with the remote, power is reduced to approximately 380 W so that up to four units can run on a 15/20 A breaker without tripping it. The intensity and therapeutic benefits remain high in either mode.

Blue/480nm wavelengths of light have been used in high level dermatology for many years and have numerous skin and anti-aging benefits.  Studies have shown it to be beneficial for applications such as rosacea, psoriasis, anti-aging, acne and sun damage reversal among many others.

PlatinumLED uses high-quality single-frequency LEDs. Dual- or multi-chip LEDs emit multiple wavelengths from tiny chips, meaning each wavelength is produced at lower power and the total output is inferior. Dual-chip designs cannot optimize individual wavelength ratios and are considered a marketing gimmick. Single-chip LEDs provide superior distribution and output.

Pulsing happens extremely fast and is often invisible to the human eye, even when enabled. Additionally, only the near infrared (NIR) LEDs are pulsed, and NIR light itself is largely invisible to the human eye, which can make the pulsing effect even harder to notice.

Pulsing rapidly turns the near infrared LEDs on and off at a specific frequency. There is no universally “best” pulse setting, and many customers simply leave pulsing turned off. Users who do pulse typically experiment with different settings based on personal preference and application.

Our LEDs are rated for approximately 100,000 hours of use, which is around 15 years or more with normal use.

No. Our units use LEDs rather than traditional light bulbs, so the LEDs do not need to be routinely replaced.  The average lifespan of the LEDs is approximately 100,000 hours, or around 15 years with normal use. Additionally, all of our lights include a full 3 year warranty, and we will replace the unit if it malfunctions for any reason during the warranty period.

All BIOMAX Pro models operate on standard household power. For example, the BIOMAX Pro Ultra running at full power on 110V draws approximately 6.7 amps (793 watts). 

On a typical 15/20 amp household circuit, you can generally run up to two BIOMAX Pro Ultras at Full Power or up to four at Low Power. 

All of our lights are also compatible with 220V power, which reduces overall amperage draw.
