 Now, I've just received the new Platinum LED Biomex Red Light Therapy Penal. You can change the power intensity of the red light and the near red light. Hey, guys, it's Alex here from AlexFugus.com. Now, I've just received the new Platinum LED Biomex Red Light Therapy Penal. Pumped to receive this because if you've been following my stuff, you'll know that I'm a big fan of these panels and the Biomex also one came out in first place in my 2019 body panel comparison. So a lot of people have been asking when is Platinum released in their new panels? We know Juve have released the new panels. We know MitoReed have new panels. Red Light Rising have new panels. Platinum LED have been very, very quiet. Even I wasn't too sure what was happening. But here it is, the new panel. So what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna do a quick first impressions unboxing video. We're gonna open it up. I haven't opened it up yet. So we're gonna have a look at it, see what's changed if anything, fire it up, see how it runs. And I'll share my feedback with you and I will then do a full detail review and also a comparison with the other panels later on. So be sure to hit subscribe to check them out. Anyway, let's go get the scissors and open this up. The Biomex 900. Now, on first impressions, I have to say it looks pretty much the same, maybe identical to the previous Biomex. Now like I said, this is the Biomex 900. It is a little bit wider. 900 means there's 300 LEDs in here. The 900 also comes out at 1,150. Of course you can get the 600, which I think is about $900, the 450 and the 300, which is a lot smaller. This, though, I think is a great size for a body panel because you get in the width and the height to get a big portion in the body. Anyway, back to my impressions. Like I said, design-wise, nothing revolutionary there. It's not like the Juve, which was the new hard plastic. It is very heavy, very, very heavy, but solidly built. Let's do a quick tour. We got some stickers on the front there. We got the custom branding on the sides. I mean, the back has those rubber feet. Some nice handhold. The top, we have the modules for expanding the panels, which I have shown you in other videos and I may do another one with this. Couple fans on the back there, four in total. And then your powerpoint plugs and a switch. So yeah, nothing really exciting there, but my understanding is it's all the internal stuff that Platinum have improved in this panel. Actually, I forgot to mention the screen. You can see on the side here, sorry, we have a brand new screen. Bymax used to have the menu timer button with a countdown timer LCD screen, but now we have a full panel screen. I'm assuming that's going to be touch screen because there are no buttons and I can't see any buttons elsewhere. So that is pretty neat. We have the really high quality gloss manual. This is for all of the Platinum LED panels, so the base bio series range and then also the biomex range, which is what we have here. The instructions in here for the control panel refer back to the old biomex with the buttons. So I'm not too sure if this is just an outdated manual or I'm not too sure what's happening there, but I'm sure once we fire that up, we should be able to figure out how it all works. What else did it come with? All the usuals. So we have the same eye goggles, the blackout eye goggles that a lot of these companies use. We have the door hook, that again is too thin for any of my doors here. We have some metal cables that you screw onto the top so you can hang them from the door hook or another hook. The pulley system with the rope and then your power cables. And just to check, yes it does. It comes with my local New Zealand Australian plug, which is great. It means I don't have to get an adapter. All right, that's all plugged in. Now before I fire it up, I did want to run through the key changes in this new biomex range. As I mentioned, so far you can't see too much that has changed from the first gen. Of course, the exception being that screen, which we'll get to soon. So I did reach out to PlatinumLED and asked for a rundown of what has changed internally. And they've told me that the internals have been completely reworked. So that has led to two things. One, they say it's more reliable, better performing units. So whether we will see the change in that, I'm not too sure, but it is nice to know that technology has improved and become more reliable. Secondly, that saying the power output has increased. Now, I'm not gonna test that today in this first impressions video, that's something I'll be saving for my full review. So again, be sure to hit subscribe and check out those videos in the near future. But we knew the previous biomex was quite powerful, well, very powerful. So if they haven't improved on that, then yeah, that's quite amazing. The warranty, price point, all of that remains the same as the previous generation products. So that's good to know. And there's two other things that have changed. Now the first one, to be honest, I don't quite understand yet and I'm gonna have to read it from the email here because it sounds quite technical. So they've introduced complete dimming controls of the individual arrays, which is their patent pending Platinum LED total control system. It's a bit of a mouthful. And like I said, I don't know exactly what that means. I'm assuming it means you can lower the power intensity of certain, of specific wavelengths, because remember the biomex series use five different wavelengths in their red light therapy setup. So typically these panels, when I say these, typically the panels that are in the market use the 660, which is the visible red light and the 850, which is the near infrared invisible light. As for why they've included those other wavelengths, I'm not gonna get into all the details here because I have covered this in previous videos and blog articles over at AlexFigus.com. But in a nutshell, there are some, there is some evidence showing that those other wavelengths have some therapeutic benefits. So I think it's cool that they have introduced, or have incorporated other wavelengths in there. There is one other feature that they have introduced in this new range, and that is their new optional wireless connectivity mode. So again, maybe that's Bluetooth, I'm not too sure, but let's turn it on and see how it runs. Okay, as you can see here, this is the new touchscreen panel. I haven't turned the device on yet, so that's why there's nothing on it. I should mention one thing, is it looks like it's sunken in a little bit. If we get the side on, yeah, you can see that slight gap there. I don't know if that's happened in the shipping. I don't, I hope that's not gonna impact performance and usability. But anyway, thought I'd mentioned that. I wanted to show, I wanted to record the screen rather than the lights for the first time I turned it on, because like I said, we haven't seen this before in any of the red light therapy products. So I'm excited to see how it looks. All right, here we go. It's turning it on, the power's on. Yep. All right. So as you can see from the bottom up, set custom mode timer on off. Stuff it, let's just fire this beast up. So you can see now that there is a countdown timer on there, which is pretty neat. I don't know how you stop it. I guess I press the button. Yep. And that takes me back to menu. And I turn it off. Okay, very cool. So let's go into timer. All right, you've got preset times 10, 15, 20. That's actually pretty neat because most of the times I'm using a 10 or 20 minute session. And what's also interesting is I can go beyond 20 minutes. I can go up to 30 minutes. No other panel that I can think of off the top of my head has allowed me to go past 20 minutes. So that's actually a first. So that's neat. Obviously run will start the lights. But yeah, that screen is definitely loose, which is a bummer. It's still working fine, but you can just feel it. Custom mode. So what's in here? Very, very cool. You can. Well, you can change the power intensity of the red light and the neon for red light, which is very, very neat. So again, if you're familiar with red light therapy panels, most units now you can select between your red light and your neon for red or both, right? So you can have all of them running or just your red light. But this one allows you to customize how much of each you want to run. So you could have 100% neon for red and only 50% red light or 51% if you really want to fine tune it, which is actually pretty neat. I know there'll be some people that will really like that. Again, me, I'm a bit rather basic where I just have them both running at full power and I'm done with it. But I know some people will really like that feature. The other cool thing though with this is you could dim it right down. What's the lowest we can get to? We can go right down 3% and you could use that as an ambient background light, which is cool because you're not drawing a lot of electricity and the brightness is not gonna be nothing like the max intensity. The only downside though, if you're doing that is it's still driving those fans. And I've mentioned this in the Juve video where you can set the Juve as an ambient light, a background light, but the fans still run. This fan's gonna get to you after a while if you're using just the back of the, in the backgrounds. It would be cool if you got below 18 or 20% and it cut the fans out. Obviously the fans are there to call the units and obviously they need calling, but it's just something that I thought I'd mention. So yeah, that is very neat. We haven't seen that before. Well, we haven't seen a touchscreen and we haven't seen that customized intensity selector option, which is very, very neat. And finally in the menu we have the set button, which is for when you connect multiple devices. So hey, so just a quick update. It turns out the Biomax 900 that I have here that I've been testing was a bit of a pre-launch panel and they hadn't quite solidified all their manufacturing and design. And that is what I'm told was why that the control touchscreen was a little bit loose in the unit there. I'm told they're going forward that this won't be a problem. Consumers won't see this problem. And I have been seeing a replacement unit that I'll be using in future tests and reviews as well, including my 2021 comparison. So I just wanted to mention that, in case you watch this and think, oh, that's a bit of a bummer. I have told Platinum LID about this and that was what I heard back from them. All right, cool. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to turn it on and you'll be able to see it from the front. You might be able to see the slight color differences. And while it's running, I'm also going to play around with the wavelength selector menu on the side. One thing I'll notice, I'll mention though, I have noticed when the light intensity drops, so with the new Juve, for instance, it dims down when you turn it off. It'll slowly reduce the power output. When you're standing next to the panel here in person, you notice that, like you can see the power drop off. But on camera, it doesn't really show up. Obviously the camera is adjusting to the brightness and these things are so bright. So I'll tell you when I'm playing around with the settings, but just to hit it up, you might not actually see something on the camera. Anyway, let's go. So that's running at full intensity, both red light and near for red lights running. What I'm going to do now is I'll drop the red light, red lights down to 50%, 25%, 2%, and then we're off. But we still have the near and free lights running there as well. And if I turn the near and free lights off and then the red lights right on, that's one thing I need to check it. Oh God, they're very, very bright. One thing I have noticed with these new generation panels now all these lights have always been bright. You walk into a room and think, well, that's bright. But these new panels are like, you can't look at them. You really can't. It just hurts the eyes way too much. So that's one thing that Juve, and I think there's one other company have incorporated into their new panels where that one LED diode will use both red light and near for red light. Platinum obviously don't have that technology yet because you could still see the streaks of red light and then the streaks of near for red light. Is that a good thing, bad thing? Well, I mean, it may lead to more of those hot spots because you're not getting the even blend of light being produced. It's only certain spots, certain lights. And obviously you can bigger gaps between the red light and the near for red light. All of these sort of things I'll test in my full review and of course we'll be going into great detail in the comparison series. So I wanted to keep this video short. I've already gone way too long. But yeah, that is the new Biomax 900 from Platinum LED Therapy. Overall, design-wise, pretty much the same. Internally, apparently there's some big changes. The new touch screen feature though is very, very cool and the ability to adjust the power density is gonna excite some people as well. So price-wise, warranty-wise, shipping costs, all of that is the same. No changes there, which is always a good thing. They're still incorporating their five wavelengths also a good thing as well. And you get all the standard accessories, which is great. So yeah, it's gonna be really exciting to see how this goes in the 2021 body panel comparison series. So I've discount code Alex on these panels as well, ALEX. So if you do wanna go and buy one of these into that discount code and you'll save, I think it's 5%, so we'll make the most of that. All right guys, talk to you later, bye.
