Can you compare a few other mats/blankets? I'd love to hear how the Mito power output compares to Hooga. Other companies like Celluma also make blankets

Durability is the biggest drawback for mats since they’re flexible the wiring can get damaged. I love small red light pads but treat them as disposable because within 6 months lights start going out.

LED Pod vs Panels. Looking forward to that video.

You are one of the only reviewers on the internet I trust. I don’t know what it says about the world of reviews or possibly me 😂 but I know what it says about you: comprehensive, scientific, and conflict free

Note: you must be nekkid for the light to penetrate through the skin. So, not sure about leaving it out for family night in the living room. 🤣

Thanks for reviewing this product. Of course, this is great for those of us who have issues standing. Looks like a good option to treat widespread sun damage, eczema, psoriasis or the like. Also appealing for those of us living in earthquake zones.

I have bought 6 Hooga products for myself an 2 for Christmas gifts. They have changed my life. 👍 Thank you for all your great info 🤗

I thinknon thing you might have missed in reviewing this, is: yes, you are only getting the light right around one spot next to the LED, but - you can move around on it a bit. And for most people they will probably move a mot in it, during the treatment time. Or you could set timers and deliberately move after a minute. So, I believe the spot-concentrstion may not be that much of a problem...also, if you are using it regularly, you probably won't end up lying in exactly the same spot, so it will average out over several uses anyway.

I like the portability of the mats. I plan on taking my RLT mat, percussion massage gun, and squeeze boots on my ski trips and 24 hour mountain bike races!

The Hooga 300 pro is an excellent unit. They seem to make great products.

Been waiting for this review and Black Friday sales. I get advertised this a lot on Amazon.

Would love to see it compared to the Mito product. It has a higher NIR to red light ratio and more lights.

I have a Magelin and its really awesome after a work out. best red light device outside of the panels

Alex. What would you think about using one of those reflective foil blankets with a regular panel to achieve a similar effect. I'm pretty sure they reflect IR so they should capture light that would otherwise scatter.

I've been thinking about getting one of these, so I'm appreciative of your analysis. I like that the style is packable and doesn't have much space because I'm on travel a lot. But it's also good to know about it's limitations... It would be awesome to see a comparison of different light therapy pods/pads. Prism light therapy makes a pad that rolls up... Thank you for your channel!

Thanks for testing and reviewing this option suitable for travelling and even comparing it to alternatives like a mat!

Hi Alex, thanks for the video! Just to clarify - you said if one is "pressed hard up against the mat (3.45) they effectively would get no light". What does that mean? How would the skin being pressed up against the light see no absorption? The idea of the mat / pod is to lie down hard up against it as you demonstrated, or am I missing something here?

I wonder how many times it can be folded until some wires inside break. Panels have no moving parts (except fans), but no folding wires . And EMF decreases with distance, but most of it comes from power supply.

Alex can you please review the Mito Pod? It is like this, but it is supposed to be 67% NIR. I am considering buying, especially after the Mito 1500 won the best panel in 2022. I love laying down to get red light rather than standing.

Hi, I am new to red night therapy. Do you recommend the mat or standing panel for the newbie? I am looking for a red light therapy device for whole body and struggling between the panel or the mat. Thank you!

I appreciate all of your posts.

Thank you for reviewing this item!

Hi Alex, mito has now made a pod. Can you tell me just based off the descriptions without having to test the mito pod which pod is better? (Hooga vs mito)? Thank you!

Thanks for the awesome review! I'm curious if you'd recommend this for muscle recovery. In the portion of the video where discuss power testing, you say that the light is only powerful for 3-4mm. Does that mean that these lights wouldn't penetrate all the way to the muscle? If so, a panel would be better for muscle recovery?

I am new to your channel and so glad to have found you! I'm in the market for RLT pod and wondering if you have compared the Hooga vs Megelin brand? Or is there another pod in the same price range you could recomend? Thank you!

Alex, great video! You mentioned the light intensity is virtually none when pressed up against the light. Is that the same with panels? I have a Platinum BioMax 450. Sometimes I like to almost lay it up against my back or my legs when sore, it is pleasantly warm too. But would you say the intensity may decrease up against the skin and perhaps better to be 3-4 inches away? Thank you very much with your reviews, I bought mine a couple months back based on your reviews. 😊

GREAT Review. Keep them coming!

Thank you for the review. What is the best option for chronic fatigue syndrome?

How does this compare to the MitoRedLight Mito POD? They look similar, except the MitoPod has more LED chips, more NIR, and the 810 nm. What do you think? I'm trying to decide between the two.

Of the 1800 LED's, there are 945 on the back section and 855 on the front section. Eeach led chip has 1 Red and 2 Near Infrared so you have double the near Infrared than Red.

I noticed the Hooga pod product listing has a few discrepancies on its website. One spot says 61" and another says 63" long. Also, in one spot it says 3 in 1 chip technology (1RL:2NIR) (Each light bead has 3 chips, 2 near infrared to 1 red for superior power output and even light coverage) but later it states the device has a 4RL:1NIR ratio (Clinically proven wavelengths of 660nm & 850nm 4:1 ratio), which is quite different. It also advertises as an FDA listed class 2 device but at the bottom of the website has this disclaimer: The statements on this website have not been evaluated by the FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration).

Alex, thank you for all your red light therapy videos. They are very informative. I purchased the BioMax 900 based on your recommendation a couple of years ago and got 5% off using your discount code. I noticed that Hooga also sells the infrared PEMF mat. Have you look into PEMF as an alternate therapy device? It would be great if you can do a review on the infrared PEMF therapy mat. Thanks!

I’m sold on red light therapy! I have the hookah panel and I like the idea I can get the whole body and relax a little!

I have been waitingggggg

FINALLLLLYYYYY BOOOOOMMMMM 🎉🎉🎉🎉

great review! thank you!!

I bought this. It's not too bad positioning yourself so that your head is covered. Is it "wonderful" having it covering your face? No, but certainly tolerable for 15 minutes. I use a very soft cloth and some mild spray cleaner after every use.

Hi Alex! I'm new to red light therapy and my gym has something called the "Cocoon Deluxe Fitness Pod". It's like a little personal sauna pod you lie down in that uses dry heat, infrared heat, and vibrates like a massage chair! There are a bunch of red light bulbs down the middle in there and I have no idea if they're just for decoration. There isn't a whole bunch of info on it online and there are so many different versions of the pod.. the most I could find on the wavelengths was a single sentence: "Ambient Red Chromo Light Therapy improves cellular function generated by wavelengths (630-850 nm)". Not sure how much I believe it though. I really enjoyed your video on the Beauty Angel and I was wondering if you could also review it but it might be hard to find. If it really works I'd be over the moon!

Hi Alex great video, I was wondering what is your opinion on Led belts? I am looking something easy to use for pain m for my husband, he became paraplegic 13 years ago, and due to no movement from waist down, he has crazy peripheral neuropathy pains. Also by using upper body all the time, he gets some shoulder pains , etc… i was thinking that belt i could just wrap on certain area , just wanted to know if it’s powerful enough, to heal joints, etc…. I see Hooga has one . Is it any good, or should I just get him small panel, for now, cause the big one, we are not ready for it yet… he is in bed, ..thank you and have a blessed day🙏❤️

Great review. I have been researching and researching. Have an upcoming ankle replacement in January and I am hoping this will help with the recovery so I can get my active life back, along with all the other benefits. I am going to order the XL today. Are there specific goggles or glasses one should use?

Hi Alex, do you have a video on the therapeutic values for the various wavelengths such as 610, 630, 650 etc. and why someone would choose one over others. Ditto for the NIR wavelengths, such as 810, 830, and up to 950? Thank you! Also the Red Light Therapy Shopping tool is AMAZING! I absolutely love it. I've yet to buy a panel. Am continuing to research.

Also, so wanted to know about the effect of wearing clothes. You mentioned keeping it in the living room, so I think it should be fine? From my own research, clothes DO make a difference, though, especially with shorter wavelengths. I'm sure you've done videos on this. I'll look through them, but (THANKFULLY) You've done a lot of research and made a lot of videos for me to use and peruse.

So grateful for this information. JuvaPod is more than twice the price, but has more lights (4300 as opposed to 1800 in the Hooga) and 50% 650 and 50% 850. will you be reviewing that pod at some point?

Why do you think the power falls off so quickly with small distances? amA few mm to 1 seems strangely ineffective.

My concern after getting one is that the plastic is going to get minor scratching deflecting light. Does that seem like it could be a concern with you experience

Thank you so much.

Please make a review of Mito Light from Europe, and how does it stand against the leaders from US like Mito Red light ..Many Europeans wondering if Mito Light is real deal …

Hi Alex, many thanks for all your hard work doing these really informative reviews. One question, when you did this Hooga POD review about 6 months ago I think Hooga was literally in the process of updating the model, which they have now done. Each LED is tri chipped (1 x 660nm / 2 x 850nm) which is exactly what you was wishing for in your review. Now the updated POD is available (I receive my new Hooga POD next week) could you kindly do a review on it and also compare it the the MitoPOD? many thanks... Kevin.

Great review 👍

Alex, how often would you use this weekly? 20 minutes every other day? Also, Does the Pulse mode have different benefits than just the highest mode (P5) on the pod? How would you use it, if it were your every day red light? Thanks!

Curious what is more effective red light blanket wrap or the panels?

Did I hear you right? There is virtually no benefit from the light you are laying directly on? 3:44 in the video. A few weeks ago I purchased the LOVTRAVEL (looks almost identical to this) 6 ft, 200W mat (not a sleeping bag like this) - should I be wearing it as a blanket instead? Liked and subscribed - dig the actual measurements and reference to studies and producers. You are producing unique content in this field.

Can u please review the Megelin mat?

Cool product!

One reason I am considering a smaller mat, is as part of my illness, I have light sensitivity. I can no longer tolerate sitting in front of my panel, even with my eyes covered as the light penetrates. I am also in bed a lot. I can't afford, nor do I have space for a fancy stand that goes over the bed, so the portability of a mat is really helpful. I can see why cheaper mats might be an option for people who have mobility issues or spend a lot of time in bed etc if they can't afford a panel with an over the bed stand. Some red light has got to be better than none!

Hi Alex! So what is better -hooga mat with 1800 led lights or mito with 2320 led lights?

Would you rather have an HG300 for $140 or a HG200 for $120? First time buyer. Getting the face and belly is most important. What say you?

This video has me curious about the MitoPod, because it has 66% near infrared and 33% red light. It seems like he would prefer that blanket to the Hooga Pod.

It looks like it would be delicious feeling lol

Can you test the therasage infrared sauna?

Thx Thank you 🙏

Hey Alex, are there any affordable spectrometers that are good enough?

Hi Alex. I have the opportunity to buy the used flexbeam at a really good price. I'll be using mostly for my lower back, but also my shoulder and knee. Does it really work, and is it worth $375 Canadian? Will the flexbeam penetrate the skin in order to treat muscle, joints and ligaments? Should I save my money and buy the kineon?

Can you review the Mito Red Light Therapy - MitoPOD

How is this different from the Hooga infrared sauna blanket? That I’ve already purchased

How do you figure out the timing? How long to do sessions?

Alex can you review a commercial red light therapy unit by INVISA RED unit which is a LASER not LED and has FDA approval for weight loss ! I would like to know if this would be a good investment for my clinic !!!

Hi I am from India only hooga is available that too at a high cost what options do I have ?? I need deep tissue

Celluma makes a body panel as well as a face panel with plenty IR and Red led

How to try these expensive things before wasting a lot of money? 😅 cannot find a clinic in my area

Did it help you with hair growth? That's what I want to use it for too..

I ordered it from your review and just received it and only half of the lights work! Very irritated!

I researched this company, it looks like they use 660 nm "strength" which is the most effect. A lot of the masks and other products out there use a weaker strength. I think this company might be legit.

Are there goggles included

Why would you want to get into the blanked naked? Doesn’t 660nm and 850nm go straight through clothing?

BIOMAX panels seem more powerful

Doesnt the PLASTIC which is TOXIC get absorbed in the skin?

Hows EMF level?

Expensive

Thanks for sharing this. I've been looking at a similar product... Great video... Could be better if you did the review.. Shirtless 😜

Wouldn't the glossy plastic surface stick to your skin, especially in humid climates 🫠
