 Platinum LED Biomax 600 and away you go this particular panel is what I call a body panel okay so we're up to the fun part of the review you can see straight away the two peaks here as I move the panel further away you can see how it does blend Hey it's Alex here from AlexFingerStock.com and today I am testing and reviewing the new Platinum LED Biomax 600 now this is the Gen2 2021 version of the Biomax 600 I have reviewed the Gen1 2018 or 2019 panel before but this is the new and improved version so I'm very very excited to test this I'm going to be doing a deep deep dive looking at all aspects of this panel we're going to look at power irradiance we're going to look at EMF we're going to look at sound what wavelengths are emitting we're going to look at the side the new features of this panel everything I've been using this for the last few weeks now so I'm also going to incorporate my feedback and thoughts on using this panel and the benefits I have received from it and we're going to crunch some numbers as well look at value price pretty much I want to answer any question that you may have about this panel and hopefully yeah provide some insight and some some feedback that you wouldn't otherwise get about this panel of course at the end of the day you can then take all this advice and compare it to other panels or watch other videos and make your own comparisons or decide whether it's what you want to spend your money on and speaking of money I do have a discount code from Platinum Therapy Lights it is alexalex that will save you five percent if for some reason that doesn't work check the description below in case it has changed and be sure to subscribe because I'll be reviewing a lot more panels like seriously I have so many panels in my office that um it's getting ridiculous first things first what do you need to know about the Biomax 600 well it is produced by a company called Platinum led therapy lights bit of a mouthful Platinum led therapy lights have been around for some time now I think they've been in the led space for nearly 10 years um originally they started in the grow lights business and then they moved into the therapeutic red light therapy never read um panels which is obviously what we have now I am a big fan of their panels um I have done a lot of testing on their previous generation panels and uh if you haven't watched my stuff or been involved in the red light therapy space for a while you would have seen my 2019 comparison series where the gen one version of this panel the Biomax 600 actually came out on top um they also have tested for really good power low EMF and really good value as well so that's why I guess I'm really excited to see how the new gen 2 version uh stacks up they also um Platinum led therapy lights sell bigger panels the 900 and smaller tabletop panels they also do a budget line which is their bio series um which don't have as many bells and whistles as this panel has speaking of bells and whistles I'm going to get into that soon I'm going to reveal all the changes I'm going to reveal all the features um everything you need to know about this panel so sit back relax and uh let's get started first things first though let's look at the price so this particular unit sells for 899 us dollars now like I mentioned earlier I do have a discount code is it is discount alex alex that will save you five percent so for the sake of this video and all my comparison pieces I'm going to use the discounted price when I'm doing comparisons and um value calculations just because I mean that is the price that you can purchase it for so remember alex will save you five percent so that brings this panel down to 855 us dollars which is a good price for a body panel of this size and with these features now as for shipping you have free usa shipping which is great and you have an 80 worldwide shipping rate I put in uh addresses in Canada Australia and the UK and it all came out to be 80 so I don't know if it applies to every single country but if you're in a main western country then I'm I'm guessing you'll get the $80 rate you can head over to Platinum LED therapy lights and um put your address in for a calculated shipping rate anyway speaking of shipping you can also go into the shipping page on the Platinum LED website and you can see ETAs for particular units and where you are in the world so um you know given all the supply shocks shocks we're seeing at the moment and also the demand of these new panels you can go in and see how long it's going to take before this particular unit will arrive at your doorstep I just did a quick check before filming and if I ordered one of these here in New Zealand it's only about one or two week wait so that's that's not too bad so to sum things up if you're in America and you want to get one of these units shipped to your door $854 is going to be the total amount you'll pay that includes shipping and it is after the discount code as for financing yes Platinum LED do offer financing they offer a zero percent financing plan again there's going to be terms and conditions so kids the website to find out more about that but that is good to know especially if you do want to get a couple of these or a larger panel for instance all right next up we look at look and feel and design so the cool thing is the Platinum LED box ships with the branding and the logo on the outside box so as soon as it arrives you know exactly what it is and who it's from some companies just have a blank box and um it's not until you open it up until you you realize what it is I like the fact that that branding is there it shows it is a little bit more premium and some thought and care and time and investment has gone into the packaging which typically translates to the product as well so that is a good start once you open that external box up you get an internal box which also has the packaging and of course you open that up nice package case which obviously has the panel and a few other bits and pieces which we will look at soon this particular panel is what I call a body panel it is 200 leds 36 inches tall nine inches wide and three inches deep it is you know if you look at the juve solo as a benchmark for a for a body panel this is you know similar size though this has more leds than the juve solo we'll talk about comparisons later on in this video it does have a solid middle case and it has four fans on the back power the power plugs go into the back here pretty um full proof you have one plug for the supplied power cable and another one if you are connecting up multiple devices you know you can't stuff that up and then you have a big bright power switch which glows when it's on um the neat thing about these new panels is you have grips at the top which is really cool because this particular panel weighs 22 pounds so they you know there is a bit of weight here obviously for me it's no issue but you know if you're getting this for your grandmother or something if you are getting this for your grandmother you should be setting it up for her but if you are if someone is a little bit frail or a little bit weaker or you're getting a bigger unit it is nice now having those hand grips in there because otherwise you just had to pick them up from the side and you know it just makes life a little bit easier so it is good seeing that on the side you will see the open vents and you'll see the platinum led logo in the previous generation this was actually etched out just like these holes here so that is a slight change i actually like this better with the red logo in here it's good to see on the front no real changes you have the same sort of led layout here um yeah oh one other thing on the back as well is you have these rubber feet for um protecting your walls if you're leaning against the walls that is good to see on the top you have some screws for screwing these metal hanging cables on or um for connecting this panel to another panel because this is modular expansion supported which is neat and then lastly we have this side with one of the biggest changes well the most noticeable change between the gen one and the gen two biomex series is this touch screen display um so there's no physical buttons here it is all touch screen very very cool and um i'll be firing it up soon and we'll be showing you how that works and what features are built into this particular unit biomex range only come in the white design i know some other companies now are doing red and black and even allowing you to choose which color which is nice um personally though i i like this design i mean it's it's simple uh nothing really has changed from a front on look compared to the gen one panel um the gen one biomex panel but that's not that's not necessarily a bad thing it doesn't look dated uh there's nothing wrong with it i mean i think it actually looks quite nice some people might be disappointed hoping that there was a total refresh but um hey at the end of the day i mean it there's nothing wrong with how it looks and um yeah it's not going to look out of place or anything like that some panels out there are quite ugly you know they're quite chunky or you know they don't have necessarily a nice design with the led layout or they've got a you know the controls on the top or on the front and it kind of looks a little bit um i don't know tacky in a way maybe that's the wrong word but i can see why platinum led didn't worry about overhauling the design because it would have been a lot of work and money and investment to change that when hey there's nothing really that needed changing obviously the new control panel on the side and the grips on the back some change has happened from a manufacturing point of view but um the big changes i'm told are all internal and um new power outputs so we're going to test all those soon okay so what's included in the box obviously you get the panel um you get a quite a nice manual um if you saw my unboxing video first impressions video of the biomex 900 you would have noticed that um the manual i think was the older manual because it didn't have instructions for the new panel this one does have um instructions for how to use this touchscreen panel so that is good to see but yeah it's really informative and nicely printed manual which is good to see um you have some my goggles in a little case you have the door hook door hanging hook so that slots on top of the door and you can use the pulleys or the middle hooks i know you'd have to use the pulleys for this let's go over there unfortunately though i can't test it on any of my doors because my doors are too wide for that little gap which is the same for all of these panels i test this it's not just a criticism of platinum that every panel i get seems to have a door hook that's too thin you have some cables um for daisy chain in modelable panels so if you get a second one and attach it to the top or an extra couple panels comes with all the cables for that which is great but i won't need that today um you have this pulley system so that that allows you to connect these middle um cables on the top you can then hang and adjust the panel um from the hook so you can adjust the height you can have it up nice and high for your for the top half of your body then you can lower it for the lower half lower half for the body or if the hooks you know really really high maybe it's in the ceiling you can use this to drop it down to an adequate height which is good um and then you have the main power cable now this is actually the first thing i notice about this is the gauge it's a very thick heavy duty cable which is good it is a very thick cable it's probably the thickest cable i have seen with any red light therapy panel so um that should result in even better emf levels when we test that soon as well so um yeah it'll be interesting to see how it stands up so that's what you get in the box uh now what other things can you purchase for the biomex 600 well there's two stands firstly you can get the mobile rack stand which is for mounting two four or six biomex panels uh in a you know wall fashion uh vertical fashion sorry so you can connect any of the biomex panels you can connect a 600 with a 300 or a 900 you know you've got various options there um so why would you do that obviously if you wanted a higher um you want to head to toe coverage you could get two biomex 600 put them on top using the modular designs and the cables that um i showed you before you with this stand you can also put them two side by side so you get a wider or even three side by side so you get a wider treatment area you could even go three side by side and three on top so you'd get a massive um surface area so that is cool that particular stand cost 300 i believe you can still use discount code elix to save on that as well platinum melody also sell their horizontal stand which is for mounting one or two panels overhead um so shining down so you'd use this if you're you know a clinician or something and um you want you know you're treating the patient whether it's massage or acupuncture and you want to overhead or perhaps you are doing you know you want to mount them above you not too sure why you'd do that but i guess it's more for using it over a treatment you know you can have someone lying down and have it shining down on top of them which is which is cool that also sells for 300 dollars and like i said that's for one or two panels only the biomex 600 has a three-year warranty the warranties i've seen in the red light therapy space range from one year which is typically for the handhelds right up to five years i think red light rising has a five year warranty period most of them are around the two three-year mark i think three years are good you know it's a good mark for a warranty period on a electronic device you know around that $1,000 price point you you want a good warranty so that is nice to know that um platinum led do you have that three-year warranty they also have a 60-day return um trial period so pretty much you can purchase this if you're not happy with it you've seen it back no questions asked obviously you have to pay freight return freight which can be expensive especially if you live here in New Zealand you know freightiness all the way back to america or wherever it has to go is going to add up um secondly they platinum led do have um uh policy we they may charge you up to 20 percent for a restocking fee i'm assuming what they're doing there is looking at the condition of the panel looking at the box what accessories are still there in there and um that's how they come up with that figure and i do know some people have had to pay that which is you know well then don't necessarily have to pay it they're just not getting the full amount back so you know there's something to keep in mind uh hopefully though with all my content and blog articles and uh these videos you know you can you can watch watch you can gather a lot of information and um it'll help you make informed decisions so you don't have to go out and purchase it and trial it and return it but still that that policy is there 60 days with a potential 20 percent restocking fee in regards to set up these are super simple to uh get up and running you obviously take the panel out of the box you find the one and only power cable plug that into the back plug this into the wall turn the big red power light on on the back that glows once it's on you would have hung this up or mounted this on the stand or just lent it against the wall like i'm doing now to get the position you want if you're screwing in these and using the pulley system it's very straightforward so there's no real issues there but once you've done all that you plug it all in once it's turned on you will see the timer on the side come on the screen on the side you can certainly hit on off and away you go so like i said it is very easy to take it from the box to the wall and get it all plugged in there's no um the instructions cover cover everything but it is very simple cable was two meters long which is six and a half feet which i think is a good length adequate length and like i said before it is it is a second heavy duty cable and you do have the door hanging hook the pulleys and um these cables as well as the soft rubber feet on the back so you can lean it directly against the wall and like i said if you want to stand those are optional extras okay so we're up to the fun part of the review here we look at power and performance now i've got my big trometer here and i'm going to be testing the power output of these leds speaking of leds the biomex 600 has 200 single chip 3 watt leds um which i believe is the same as the original gen one biomex 600 however these the componentry inside has been improved on the gen one which is which apparently is led to improved power output and we'll be able to test that very soon um the beam angle on these leds is 90 degrees i believe i may be wrong on that i have to double check i'll put a correction below if i am and the biomex range the gen 2 biomex range continues to use the five wavelengths which is 630 and 660 in your red light range and 18 830 and 850 nanometers in the near infrared range so this is obviously a little bit different to your standard 660 and 850 um but it is the same as the previous gen one biomex all right so the first test what i'm going to do is look at the wavelength a minute um so i'm going to fire this up and we'll pull the camera around onto my laptop here and you'll be able to see the um the data that this device is collecting all right so what i'm going to do is i'm just going to test the red light first so i've disabled the near infrared uh let's start this now i'll get a couple readings you can see straight away the two peaks here uh the main peak is coming in at essentially where we six six three at the top there a little bit more than the listed um 630 but you're still getting the heap of power over here at 660 so it's still a lot of power there and then when i come over here about 632 which is yeah like again only one or two points above the listed so the claim numbers were 630 and 660 so pretty much pretty much bang on there all right now we'll test the near infrared all right so i've got the near infrared lights going here and as you'll see the graph actually moves a little bit now there's three wavelengths in the near infrared range here so you can see as i move around well you can't see me moving around but i'm moving the meter and the um breakdown of wavelengths changes quite a lot so i want to explain that i'll try to get a reading just to see it's a bit tricky because obviously the leds are all spread out in this panel and i know not it's not an even spread of power between all in the infrared that's a good one between all in the infrared lights with this graph here you can see that yes there are multiple wavelengths present so over here we're banging on 810 so that lines with platinum claims they say 810 838 850 so yep there's definitely a peak there the other one is 830 which is there so i mean power wise you're getting the same amount of power as 810 and then the final reading was 850 which is yep bang on up there but what's interesting as i moved around it wasn't you weren't always seeing the same pattern and that's because the leds well no sorry i know for a fact that there's more power going to 850 than the 810 or at least that was true for the gene 1 and it appears to be the case here as well but as i moved around every now and then i'd actually see a relatively higher peak in the 810 to 850 and that means i'd come across an led that was emitting the 810 so it is a bit tricky um to get an even spread like one snapshot that shows the total power output across different wavelengths but the main thing i wanted to show is yes there are three wavelengths admitted here well the thing is you're actually getting power all the way here from what 780 right across to what's that probably high 800 i mean you're getting a ton of radiance through that whole spectrum it's not these aren't lasers where you just get one spike at a particular wavelength which is good because you are getting power across all these other wavelengths as well but yeah there are definitely peaks in the in the wavelengths listed um but i did also want to show that if you're standing in front of this panel it's not like every part of the body is getting the same balance of wavelengths you know the radiance of different wavelengths and that's not just the castle platinum that's true for any panel unless every single led had exactly like the exactly same chip you're not going to get an even spread so that's just you know that's why um quantifying red light therapy in terms of how long you should use it and all that is so tricky uh and most of the studies are done using like lasers and very precise um treatment uh protocols and equipment now we're going to test peak power at the center of this panel we're going to test it across uh the red light spectrum and then the near and free but before we do that i want to test the overall peak power and compare that to the gen one biomex so i pulled up my data the gen one biomex had a peak power of 66 milliwatts per centimeter square so just just remember 66 that was um the highest reading i found as i moved the monitor the meter across the front of the panel all right straight away we're up to 74 78 82 92 86 so there's definitely a lot more power 82 a lot more power here um that 92 was quite a big peak though yeah well that was as soon as i had it going like i wasn't even in front of the whole panel and i was already in the 60s so yes the biomex generation 2 2021 vision is a lot more powerful way more powerful like that's you know 40 50 percent more powerful so um i was getting lots of 80s or 70 high 70s into the 80s and then you'd get the occasional spike into 92 so 92.8 or 92.9 was the highest reading i saw so you're looking at that ee line where it says 92.89 uh just over here sorry this is hard to see so that was peak power and the peak wavelength there is 853 uh and you can see the breakdown there so you've got power in both the red and the narrow for it so massive peaks there i mean there's no wasted power here there's none coming in you know like uh too low or too high here uh so that's that's huge that's for a sixth inch reading um 92.89 that is by far the highest power panel i've tested to date i mean i haven't tested the power on a lot of these new panels i will be so now what i want to do is test the peak power for red light and then narrow for it so i'll do the same thing again i'll just read out the readings try um pause it at one of the peaks and show you on screen and i'll read out what i say 42 47 43 i'll read out if the number goes higher 49 51.9 i think that's going to be as good as we get all right so 51.9 was the highest reading i got cool there we go remember you're looking at that ee the mw so over centimeter squared 55.6 on this one and you can see the light there in the red light okay well let's do the same again for narrow for it all right 31 36 39 41 49 50 so i'm seeing ranges from my 30s into the 40s into 50s that's a lot of red light uh so that's peaking at your 850 yeah 62.3 that's um yeah these numbers are quite amazing really so there you go uh 62.4 and that's peaking at 853.7 nanometers definitely a lot more power going on in these platinum biomex generation two panels uh quite amazing one thing though like and you may have picked up on this as i was moving around i was just saying the highest number i saw but there was quite a bit of fluctuation and that is going to happen with the panel that doesn't have an even spread of leds uh emitting the same wavelengths so for instance uh i'm just making this up here but you know this panel here could be your 660 this one could be your 630 this one could be 18 this one 830 850 right so each line is going to be different um more powers going to your 660 and 850s compared to the other one so that's why as i move around you're seeing different um wavelengths graphs and also different numbers because um yeah i mean it's just it's just how it works so uh what these peaks show though is not necessarily true representation of the overall uh irradiance from the panel it's it's very hard to do that um but people want to know what the peaks are and it's hey it's fine i mean you can see that absolute the absolute highest peak so that's why i've done that what i want to do next though is show the estimated total power output so what i do here is i measure nine points for total irradiance across both spectrums nine points uh i then average them out and then i um multiply that by the area of the leds to get a total power output in watts and we can use that figure to then calculate you know price per watts and then uh compare it to other panels for instance 66 63 65 i've got my nine readings and this is where i took the readings uh if this is the outside leds i come in one and try to get a reading in front of that so i do six in the corner uh six around the edges and three in the middle now what you'll notice though is all these figures are well below the peak power peak overall of 92 93 um so i just take a snapshot i just go there the first number i see why let it settle and then i just take the reading when i was looking for that peak in the 92 93 i'm moving around trying to find the absolute highest number i could find all right so let's um average these out so we get an average of 71 point so after crunching the numbers getting the average irradiance and then applying that to the um service area or the led service area i get a result of 101.2 watts uh so that's the total output output coming from this panel uh which is you know it's a it's a big number um and i remember this is just an estimated estimated guess well no it's not estimated guess there are there's a bit of math and and calculation involved but um you know it's not super accurate and it's not scientific as such in the sense that everything's done precise but it gives you a good indication as to what power is coming from this panel and be being able to compare it to other panels so now that we know that we can look at a couple other things so first thing is the hotspot test and then the next thing is the wattage draw actually let's do the wattage draw first so for the wattage draw i have a power meter here i'm going to plug this into the panel and see how much um watts the unit is drawing all right that is done so for the red light i had a wattage draw of 371 watts for the near infrared 270 and a total wattage draw of 627 watts okay next up i want to look at the hotspot so i set the panel up six inches from the wall and i'm going to turn it on have both the near infrared and the red light running now what you can see is the concentration of light on the um on the wall here which would be your body right so you can see the different colors here and this is what i'm saying obviously we can only see the red light we can't see the near infrared light but the red light will give a good indication of how the leds work so you can see these different colors here these will be the six what was it 630 i believe it was and then the other red will be the 660 and you can see how there's more power more energy going to the 660 and this is what i said before like you can stand in front of this panel but this particular area here is only getting 660 plus whatever near infrared light i mean yes you're going to be getting a little bit of um 16 or 630 whatever it was but not not what you're getting right there and that is the downside with panels not just with the platinum one but um all red light therapy panels now um the reason why i've included this is to compare i'm going to do this test for all the panels i review going forward and it will it'll be interesting to compare how this looks compared to other panels because ideally if it was well engineered i don't even know if it's possible but in an ideal situation what you'd see is a nice blend of red you wouldn't see these hotspots as i move the panel further away you can see how it does blend now with this power this increased power in this panel um you can easily stand a foot away from the panel if you're wondering if this particular unit has the pulsing feature feature no it doesn't all right so there's no pulsing in the biomex range uh only juve and light path led use pulsing at the time of videoing um but now that we've got all that data we can work out some values we can work out some math so the price per led here using the discounted price um per led you're paying four dollars thirty seven um per led more importantly though the price per total watt is um is quite a useful figure because you can compare how how much power you're getting per dollar right so i just did the math based on based on the 101 wattage so i just did the math and it comes out to eight dollars 45 eight dollars and 45 cents per watt that you're buying uh that you're getting with this particular panel now the only other panel that i've done this calculation for today is the light path panel and i think dollar per led figure was pretty much the same as the biomex 600 i think it was four dollars thirty but the dollar per total watt output was a lot more expensive well not a lot more expensive was more expensive it was like nine dollars thirty so that figure is implying is you're getting better value just purely from an estimated wattage output you're getting better value with the biomex 600 all right so emf i've got my cornet electric smoke meter i'll put a link to this below um if you want to get away now this tests microwave electric and magnetic fields i'm going to test the microwave first at six inches then the magnetic then the electric um all right so so first up for the magnetic there is no change compared to the background noise so that is good and that's not um surprising because this doesn't have wi-fi or anything built in next we're going to look at the uh magnetic so there was a very tiny movement uh but was still well and truly in the green zone it was a zero point zero nine uh micro tesla all right and then lastly we will look at magnet uh electric fields and there was no change there absolutely no change from baseline um as i turned it on and the numbers were rock bottom in the green zone here so that is all very very good um so yeah i mean from the emf point of view i don't have the previous generation emf numbers on me but i know it was really good this is same i mean it's great there's no concern at six inches in fact i wouldn't be surprised even as you get closer um there'd be pretty much minimal emf exposure at all uh all together so very very good numbers there on the emf right so next up we're going to look at sound level again this will be at six inches and i've got a decibel meter here it was at about 52 but it dropped down just as i had hold there 51.8 so i'm going to call it 52 decibels so that was safety actually one last thing in safety this is an fda class 2 medical device and made in an fda registered facility so that is good to know if you are into um you know wanting fda approval here we have a big screen a big oled touchscreen now if i show you this it's all touchscreen all right and it's quite easy to use i was playing around with it just before and um you can just go into timer select your pre-defined time hit run where you go um all that cool stuff but the real magic the real magic is here so i can go into custom mode now look at this i can change the intensity or the amount of power that goes to each wavelength so if i want 100 red and only 10 now infrared i can do that or i want 50 now infrared and 50 red light i can do that so that is very very cool and it's very easy to use just using your fingers on quite a you know it's a simple control panel it's not overly complex or anything like that so that is a massive change of course uh to the old panel over here so very very cool i do like that feature um the main thing is they haven't over complicated it they've just kept the basic fun functions in there all the buttons work really good work really simply as well so that is really cool as for how fast you can get this up and running i mean it's super easy and super quick you literally turn the back power switch on hit on and off and it will start working i mean it is super super simple uh if you want more advanced controls like custom time and custom um power level again turn the power uh on at the back custom mode change the intensity hit okay and away you go it's it's a couple clicks and anyone should be able to figure that out it's it's pretty foolproof uh so i do like the new control panel it is i mean the functions are quite neat as well but it is nice you know it's something different we haven't seen this before in red light therapy panels um typically they were or originally they were big chunky switches like we see on the back and you just turn that on then it came uh the little lcd screen with the buttons for red and there for red and then the timer built in um but now we see this really cool uh inbuilt screen i didn't know some other units have bluetooth connectivity and you can do it through the app personally though i'm not a fan of that i'd rather have it all on here so i think platinum have done a really good job with this little lcd screen built in uh and with the options to change the power levels as well okay so we are coming out towards the end of this uh review i wanted to share now with my thoughts and my feedback after using this panel for a few weeks i've got my notes here uh what do i what have i got i do like the control panel it is nice i like the ability to change the power levels and the ratios that is cool um personally i use a hundred percent for both though so um it is nice to have that and i know some people really like it i typically just leave them all on there the ability to drop it right down to one percent and use it for lighting up a room in the evening though it's pretty cool that is something that i have done before but i hate having full power going into it so that is neat i did like the gen one biomex and it was my go-to panel over the last few years for health and recovery and all the good things that red light therapy office and i really do think the extra wavelengths that are in the biomex series including this one are beneficial as well so i do like that that's still here in the new generation biomex panel um of course this one is the same but better i mean it's just got more power coming out and obviously a nice control panel and i think the mf levels might be lower as well so yes i would be i will be using this panel over the other ones but um they're both going to do the job knowing that the power is higher means that you can stand further from the panel and get the same dose or stand the same distance and get and use it for less time so that is cool as well and uh finally the handles on the back are nice it just makes things makes life a little bit easier when you're moving it around or setting it up so now that we've gone through all this you might be thinking okay cool should i buy this should i not well before i give my overall summary i do want to run up through a few alternative products that you could buy instead of this first i want to look at other platinum led therapy panels uh that you could look at instead of this biomex 600 first one is the biomex 900 this is the the bigger brother it's 250 more and for that price you're getting 100 more leds and that comes in a wider panel it's the same height but there it's a lot wider for that 200 extra it does mean the price per led does come down so you're getting more value uh and i would assume well yeah it is the same technology i'm assuming the power is the same might even be a little bit higher um so when you do all the numbers you're probably getting a lot more bang for your buck plus that treatment area is a lot wider back in 2019 the biomex 600 was what i used in the in my comparison series in my body comparison series and it did come out number one afterwards though i did a comparison between the biomex 600 and the biomex 900 and i see the look the biomex 900 is the better panel i'll put a link to that below you can go and watch that um comparison if you want to i think it'd be the same again with the 600 and the 900 the 900 being just the better buy uh of course if you're tight on money then yeah you may not want to spend that extra 200 bucks and and settle on the 600 you're still getting a very good panel very good high-powered low emf uh multi-wave panel and this year for the 2021 comparison i will be using the 900 instead of the 600 so be sure to subscribe to see that alternatively alternatively though platinum do have a budget bio series and that is the bio 600 that is 200 cheaper than this panel but it only comes with two wavelengths the 660 and the 850 simply controls less power doesn't have the modular support uh doesn't have stand support so you could why could i argue that this biomex 600 is really unnecessary in the platinum led product range if you're looking to save money you get the bio 600 if you want a good valued high powered high packed a high feature packed panel you get the biomex 900 but the fact that platinum offer it is nice because it does give people options and people do like options personally though i think um if you're on a tight budget really tight budget uh you know maybe get the bio 600 um but otherwise really try and stretch for this or the biomex 900 what about competitors products well mitre red and juve would probably be the two main rivals to this biomex 600 um the juve because they are the main red lights therapy player in the game and mitre red because of how similar they are to platinum led so let's look at the juve solo panel first so the juve solo is $500 more than this biomex 600 but you get less leds and you only get two wavelengths as well 660 and 850 with the juve you get a whole new design you get all the marketing and branding um and status that comes with owning a juve i guess i haven't tested the power and the emf on that unit yet but i would i would guess that it's going to be a decent high power whether it's the same as this i don't know we'll have to stay tuned because i will find out um and the juve also does that does have that pulsing recovery mode again though there's a lot of a bit of controversy around that as as to whether it's a gimmick or not but hey some people like that still though $500 more for a smaller unit that only has two wavelengths i don't know i would still recommend the biomex as for the mitre red they have got a few potential competitors because they've got their base mitre range they've got their mitre mod range and then mitre pro range their mitre mod 900 is probably the direct competitor it is uh only 180 leds compared to the 200 um that the biomex has and it only has the 660 and 850 but it is a couple hundred dollars cheaper you can look at the bigger mitre mod also mitre pro 1500 but that is a bigger panel which is probably more of a competitor with the biomex 900 finally we could throw in the lesson known light path led panel and i have reviewed this on my channel so i'll put a link to that below it's quite interesting because um it's similar priced to the biomex 600 it's only like $20 more expensive it also comes with five wavelengths such as the biomex though the wavelengths are a little bit different i think you get up into the 900s with the light light path led panel and you do get some neat features like a follow-up call and stuff it is a new up-and-coming company so it's a little bit different though the downside with that panel is i hate the control panel it's just so frustrating and just check out my review and you'll see what it means all my first impressions it drives me nuts so with platinum led you're getting a company that's been around for a long time you're getting a really nice to use control and uh i believe the power yes the power was much higher in this compared to the light path as well so probably better off just sticking with biomex over light path led but all right so in conclusion what do i like about the biomex 600 well i do like the new touchscreen panel i think that is really cool it makes it easy to use i do like the fact that the power is way higher and it was already i think it was the most the highest powered panel i've tested uh or maybe the second one i can't remember exactly but it's gone up even again so that is massive the emf levels are great um design wise hey look i like it sure some people might be a bit disappointed there's nothing new but i mean these are panels we like therapy panels not cars or i don't know phones so you can't really critique that uh again i like it though you get all the same great features that were included in the gen one biomex like the multi wavelength and um the three year warranty and all those good things what i don't like uh the hotspots may be an issue for some you know knowing that you you're not getting the even blend but you could argue that the increased power means you can stand further away and uh you are getting a nice blend and you're still getting that good irradiance and some people still are a bit hesitant to go with platinum because of the the bad six months or 12 months they had on the support side and again that was and again it wasn't every single order it was just the odd order but it only takes one or two people to put some stuff online and you know that gets picked up but i know some people are still hesitant about that but uh hey like the recent comments i've seen come through in the last six months or so um have not been like that at all and now that uh platinum are aware of it they're putting more time and energy into the support team so i don't think it'll be an issue going for so overall what do i think well i like it i mean it's an improvement on the best panel from 2019 so how can you not like it i mean it's a great panel there's more power emf levels are great the new touchscreen is awesome uh though you probably i still think that the biomex 900 is a bit of blight just from a value point of view so i would say stretch the credit card and spend a few dollars extra and get the 900 if you can afford it but even then you're not getting the multi wavelengths that the biomex has if you do want to buy one of these panels head over to platinum led therapy lights or platinum led lights dot com uh and use discovery at alex alx and it will save you five percent on their whole entire product range not just this panel um and if you did like this video give me a thumbs up and leave a comment below if you want me to do this for more panels please let me know as well because um a lot of work and time goes into this i have to test it i have to research and get all this facts um doing the testing today uh you know i need a couple weeks for each panel so i don't want to do it if no one enjoys them if you are enjoying them and you want want me to do it with other videos uh sorry with other panels please let me know otherwise i'll i'll go do something else with my time otherwise if you've got any questions if there's something you want to know about this panel and i haven't tested it or you just want my thoughts on it leave a comment below and i'll do my best to answer it all right guys uh i'll see you later
