 Focus.com and this is the Biomax 600 from Platinum LED Therapy Lights. I'm going to review it today. I have done a preview video in unboxing First Impressions video. You can check that out if you haven't already. It's been a couple of months since I did that preview video and I've been using this device most days now and also have been doing a lot of testing, playing around with it, looking into the specs, etc. And so yeah now I want to bring you a comprehensive review and my thoughts on this device. Real quick if you don't want to watch the whole video I highly recommend this panel. In fact it's now my go-to panel. My wife is using it. I'm using it and I will probably get another one or two or three since it has got the modular design and fit out a whole body panel for my family. It's really really good. Power-wise amazing. Absolutely no EMF issues which is great. Price is awesome especially I've got a discount code it's alex8lex that saves you I think 5% so that brings price down really good. They've got awesome shipping options and shipping channels so it's free shipping in the States for instance. They ship out of the US and Europe so you know you're not waiting. If you live outside America you're not waiting. Huge amount of time to get this panel built in a little timer over here which I'll show you soon. Options to alternate between the red light and infrared or of course have both running which is what I just done before and they go beyond the standard 660 and 850 nanometers which is becoming like a gold standard in the red light therapy space. So they still have those wavelengths but they've also got a few others which we're gonna look at soon. I'll use this spectrum data I've got and we'll see exactly what wavelengths this thing is admitting. So yeah like I said very impressed highly recommended great price point all around just takes all the boxes. It is still more of the premium products given this is the Biomex range is there 2.0 second generation range with a few more bells and whistles updated or upgraded internals so that's why there's absolutely no EMF which is crazy actually I couldn't believe when I tested it but yeah so it is a little bit more pricier than their standard bio series range so for instance the Bio 600 same size as this only does 660 and 850 nanometers. You don't have the built-in controls you don't have the advanced internals so they might be a little bit higher EMF levels and you don't have the modular design as well but of course it's a cheaper price point. Anyway so I thought I'd run down and run through a few things with you today. Test its sound, test the wavelengths, test the EMF reading. I do want to test the power radiance as well because I do have a meter for that but there have been some problems with that which we'll get to soon and I'll go through everything that's included with this device. So let's start with the size of the panel. This the Biomex 600 is what's known as a body panel. You may have seen the smaller target panels like the Juve Go and the red light rising handheld device. This is obviously a panel it's meant to hang on the wall or you can get a frame for it and it's meant to treat a large portion if not all of the body. It's not the biggest panel that Platinum LED do. They actually have one that is the same height I don't know if you can see the bottom of this here I would just lift it up slightly. It's the same height as this one but it's slightly wider. All right so you get a few more LEDs on there of course that's going to mean a much bigger treatment area. Personally in hindsight I think the 900 series Biomex 900 would have been a better option than the 600. Yes it is a couple hundred dollars more expensive but I think the benefits you're going to get if you're using this every day like I am are going to be worth it. Though it's important to remember even though the panel is I don't know how wide that is I mean 20 or 25 centimeters the treatment area is actually wider than that because the light does come out on an angle and the further away you stand the wider that treatment area is and this is a good thing about the Platinum range the Biomex Platinum range as well they have very very high powered LEDs so you can stand further away from the panel and still get a very good dosage unlike some other companies which have more well less less powered LEDs meaning you have to be closer to the panel which means you miss out on that wider treatment area and it also means the closer to the panel you are the more exposed you're going to be to the sound and also the emf issues which is one thing we'll look at with this. So from a size point of view it is again their body panel but it's not the biggest one. It does have the modular to sit up though so you can add on more to this. I think for me since I have this now my next choice or next step will be to get another one and clip it on side and then maybe one or two below eventually you have all four which would be pretty cool alternatively though you could get the 900 series the wider one and then stick just get two 900 series for instance and have them top and bottom and then you've got a pretty good treatment area for your front and then back the ultimate though I think is to do that on one side and then off to the side here you have another one or two panels so you get in front or front or back and then one side and then you flip around and do the same and that cuts down treatment time drastically. So let's now look at the wavelength and the power for that I'm going to get my spectrometer device. Alright so here I've got my spectrometer device from Hoopo Color technology. It cost me a lot of money to get this and I'm still trying to figure it all out but it's very very cool. What I can do with this device now is I can put this up to any light source and see the breakdown of light. Let me show you I'll just use it in the room here which is mainly natural light from outside plus a light bulbs on and you can see there's not too much you can see the wavelength you can see the peak wavelength which in this case is 750 nanometers you can see the flicker you can see the power radiance and all that other cool stuff. So what I'm going to use or what I'm going to do now is I'm going to use this device I'm going to turn this on and we're going to test the peak wavelength the full breakdown of wavelengths to see what this panel is emitting because Platinum LED actually have a patent pending wavelength formula blend I don't know what you what you call it I mean the wavelengths are everywhere in the sun and whatnot but their their pattern their formula their mix is patent pending so they don't reveal what's in it we do know though the 660 and 850 are included in there but we don't know those other particular numbers so we can actually get a pretty good look as to what's going on here um we will also be able to see the power radiance the power output now I want to mention one thing because I thought this would be the ultimate device and be able to compare all these panels and see which one is the best in terms of the power and performance and then do some cool calculations and work out you know which one is going to be the cheapest based on you know dollars per power output right unfortunately I'm not getting the best results with it there's just too much variability at one point I'll get 100 milliwatts per centimeter squared and then another time I'm getting 300 and then drops down to 40 it's literally all over the place and for that reason I just can't trust the data which is a shame because I wanted to do some really cool stuff with it again though I'm still figuring out this device maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm trying to keep all the variables um or eliminate all the variables and just turn it on and and test the device but I'm getting all these other readings so big shame there so um we'll still have a quick look at that but we're not going to go too deep into the actual numbers so let's fire it up and we'll we'll test the light using this fancy meter all right so I've turned the panel on you may be able to see already that there are a few different colors here it's not just the standard red and then the uh infrared one which is hard to see uh it looks like there's a bit of a yellow uh orange tinge as well so anyway I've got my spectrometer here you probably won't be able to see this so I'll turn the panel off afterwards after I take a reading and then we'll look at the data it's meant to be about six inches away I've done this so many times now so I got a pretty good idea of where six inches is it's not going to be perfect though all right and it's taking a reading it's taking a while let's do that again all right so I turned that off so we can see the screen now as you can see uh the bottom line here peak nanometer 660 so like I said there's a lot of power coming in through the 660 nanometer range um and then we scroll over here let me can see the uh oh sorry I should look at the camera screen and then we scroll over here we can see the other peak at about 847 850 so like I said you've still got the 850 and the 660 which are the the two sort of gold standard numbers all right but then over here you see another reasonably high peak and that's at the 830 around range and then it's quite wide down the bottom here so we're coming all the way down to about 780 it starts coming up and then it starts dropping at around 870 so you've got a massive amount of near infrared in there which is really really cool um and then the 660 is a pretty standard peak I should mention though that um this was changing like every second or two which is why I don't know how reliable this is going to be um I thought it would just show me one clear reading but it doesn't seem to be doing that which is very frustrating and see the other thing up here is this EE number that's the radiance 450 I was quite you know it was probably within four or five inches of um taking this reading at some point but that's like four times higher than what the manufacturer's claiming at six inches so it just it's just way too high and which is why I'm kind of like I don't know this device is a bit of a letdown anyway so what's the takeaway from that one it still has 660 and 850 nanometer light which is the two like I said gold standard the most research most popular are wavelengths to be used in these red light therapy devices which is great um but also using some other wavelengths as well even though I couldn't get a hundred percent reading using this device we do know it there's a lot more like near infrared um light coming out of this device than your typical 660 and 850 nanometer light such as the juve so is this a good thing or a bad thing to be honest it's a tricky tricky question to answer because there's so there's so much science in the red light therapy space but there's also a lot we don't know okay so you can take a look at some of the papers out there and you find that you know 780 is useful for a certain disease or healing a certain um injury for instance but then you can find the same thing showing like 580 or 660 or it's crazy there's so much out there but then you have so many variables at play like maybe the sample size was really small um the dosage time was it a high dose protocol was it a concentrated light source you know for instance the laser or was it a full body therapy therapy device it's so messy out there and in all honesty I think it's going to be another 15 years before we really truly know all right this is the best this is not worth worrying about however we do know that 660 and 850 work all right and there's no reason why these other wavelengths don't work as well I do know that I've personally experienced amazing things from using red light therapy and that was only using 660 and 850 and I'm still experiencing those things using this device um could there be other benefits as well sure have I noticed them not really but I don't really have anything to notice it's not like I use this and then all of a sudden I had an eight that's disappeared because I don't have an eight so that's why it's so tricky to answer it but the guys from Platinum LED have come up with this because they think it's the best uh the best wavelengths to use given the current science the current knowledge so anyway there's something to look into I'm not going to say it's a good thing or a bad thing I think it is good that doing something a little bit different however they're still sticking close to those 660 and 850 numbers as for the power irradiance like I said I can't trust that four or five hundred reading on my device I'm going to stick with the manufacturer's claims of 129 milliwatts per centimeter squared and that's at a six inch mark which is very very high which is great all right next up we're going to look at the EMF levels this is something I can trust um I can rely on with this device I got a cornet smart meter uh smart meter it's the last thing I want a cornet electro smog meter here um this tests electric field magnetic field uh and your microwaves all right I've tested this already uh on my own and everything is rock bottom like rock bottom I almost couldn't believe it um it's crazy because no other device has done that but I'll quickly do a test now and then show you the numbers we're getting all right so first up I'm going to test the microwave fields which is what you get from like bluetooth and wi-fi and um smart meters so I'll turn it on and I should say that there's absolutely no wi-fi anything going on at the house right now so the readings are rock bottom anyway okay so make sure we've got the right side hold it about six inches out and the number hasn't even changed I'll hold that so you can see so I hope you can see that now that was the figure when I pressed hold when the device was going you can see on the right there this is a safety level and we're rock bottom in the green uh you can see the number point zero zero zero six to put that in perspective if I turn on like my cell phone and have this next to it it'll be like 15 50 even like points so like that's thousands hundreds of thousands times higher than what I was getting there pretty much there's nothing coming out you can also see in the bottom right corner there that graph those are the readings over time so there was no spike at all even when I turned it on let's check the other two all right so now I'm testing the low frequency field this is the more damaging one um from a distance all right so there is a little bit of an uptick here but we're still very very low and what I'm going to do is hold this so you can see so point one one and you can see the graph on the side how it was very very low for that period as well and that was in the green though it did flick up to the yellow at one point so again very safe uh that's at about five six inches I'm not being very precise with it but that's compared to some other panels I've tested this is extremely low other panels have gone straight up to the yellow so given you might be standing there for like 10 20 30 minutes a day um this is a very important number because if that was a high figure you're putting a lot of stress on the body and I can show you when I turn that off it drops down to 0.03 with nothing going so um what do we get up to like point one one I mean it's nothing if I went and put this next to a power point or like a computer screen it would it would spike up to like five ten or something crazy numbers even overload all right let's test the final one which is electric field okay I held that number there and again rock bottom you can see the graph on the side hasn't even shown any data and that's in the green uh I'll turn this off to show what it's like without it on so we're at we're at 12 and then now we're up to six well it's dropped a little bit but still this is very very low so that's testing the performance of the panel uh what else do we want to cover let's cover what's included so here I've got everything that came with the biomex 600 we have a pulley system to hang this panel from the door or the wall you can put a nail in or screw uh and you can adjust the height which is actually really good because if you've got like a startup high or um you've only got one place to hang it from and it's too low too high you can use this to adjust it it's pretty heavy duty I haven't even used this one uh because I haven't needed to but it's a very heavy duty system because some of these other ones I've used from other companies I won't mention names are quite flimsy and I'm like it's a lot of money hanging from that system um we've got a door hanging hook though it's the same issue I had with the juve ones it's very narrow uh maybe it's a New Zealand thing but all the doors here uh much thicker than this so I can't fit it over any doors which is a shame uh you have some goggles for eye protection again this is something I still don't know what the deal is like if it's safe to look at it or not um but they give you these goggles which is great and then these two cables are for the modular system so if you get another panel um you connect this one in for information transfer and this one for the power but anyway that that came with it and then there was of course the power cable uh which is plugged in to the device this one all right so that's everything you need to know about the power performance uh what it comes with and how it looks one last thing I should mention is the inbuilt climate here which is pretty cool so I'll turn this on and it will kick it will turn on the screen will flick on little logo and then here you can change the timing and whether you want red light and for red light or both running the timing function is between one and 20 minutes you can't go beyond 20 which is sometimes annoying um I don't know why they're limited at 20 and then down here you can alternate between red light and for red light or both to start it you just simply hit okay and it will show which which lights are working here so obviously both are going as for installation it was very easy up the top here with some screws it came with these steel cables I simply screwed the steel cables onto the screws and then hang it on a hook simple as that again you could use the pulley system you could use the door hand hanging system if it fits on your door or you can just lean it up against the wall because it does have these thick rubber feet which one little side no I should mention here see how it sticks out a little bit it doesn't fit flush because this is too wide I think it matters too much but maybe it's just a bit of a design over thought um anyway so that's ease of use installation what about the admin side of things the cost shipping warranty all that so the price for this particular product the biomex 600 was 900 dollars however if you if you use discount code alex alex you'll save five percent so that does bring down to about a hundred and fifty which is very very competitive especially given this is the new gen two version with all the improved metrics inside the low emf and the more advanced leds in comparison to that you can get the original first gen product which is the same size the biomex 600 and that is 700 dollars again you can use the discount code and save on that as well however I think you're better off spending a little bit extra money getting the advanced internals and improved power plus this is the modular design so if budget is tight you can get one now and then maybe next year you get another one and stack them together or clip them on on this side which is very very cool and I think that's going to be a great selling point for these devices what else do you need to know warranty three year warranty which I believe is the best in the in the space for this uh for real life therapy I know other companies do one maybe two years these guys are doing three which is great and another thing you should know about this company is they've been in the led business for eight years yeah eight years now maybe even nine so they played them led started off as a grow light company they've done a lot of research they know everything there is to about everything there is to know about leds they even have their own warehouse and um factory in china like producing all the parts just for them using their strict guidelines which is something they they're very proud of and even when I was looking to buy in these devices you know something they keep bringing up saying they're not just a knockoff company they've been around for many years they know this stuff they've got the supply chain they've got the warranties they've got the support all in place which is a good good feature because the red light therapy space is growing very fast and there are a lot of companies popping up and sometimes you don't really know much about these companies you're working with support is great uh the blog is awesome they've got some great information over there they also have an app to be honest I'm not too much of a fan of the app it's it's just a glorified sort of calculator and timer and it doesn't even work that well though hopefully it does improve with time the idea behind the app is you can get treatment um recommendations based on different issues and it'll tell you how far we should stand and everything like that shipping shipping's free in the us and there are some pretty good rates for international shipping as well which is great so I think that's everything that I don't want to talk about today with the platinum led by a max 600 series panel overall I do like this panel I think it is perhaps the best panel no actually it's not the best panel the best panel you could get would be the bigger brother to this the biomex 900 simply because it's slightly bigger and from a price point of view you're not spending you're not spending a huge amount extra to get the bigger panel and the benefits you're going to get are a lot lot uh I guess the benefits you're going to get from the bigger panel are worth that extra expense something because you're going to get a larger treatment area so when you're face on you get in the whole body coverage this you may not get shoulder to shoulder especially if you're quite a broad person you mainly get like more of the core in the middle which is not a bad thing but hey if you've got a couple hundred dollars extra and you're already looking at an eight nine hundred dollar pop product why not just spend the 1200 or whatever it is for that for the biomex 900 and get something that's going to last and cover everything so so sizing aside I think this particular product and their panel range the biomex panel rig I think is very very cool the emf issues non-existent high power um the wavelength 660 850 plus they're doing a little bit extra in the near infrared they're very very cool the built-in timer no fancy gizmos or gadgets like emf sorry like the built-in the bluetooth or or wifi to be honest I don't think you need them and they're just bringing an extra emf exposure which is something that most people don't need or no one needs but most people don't even need from a function point of view um and then it's got the modular modular design so overall very impressed I have tested a lot of red light panels I've still got a lot to test in fact I've literally got three sitting there in a box that haven't even opened yet I hope to test them in the coming weeks maybe months because it takes a lot of time for me to learn what there is to know about these panels but so far this is my go-to panel if you are looking for one panel to buy or multiple panels to buy for the modular sit-up I would recommend the platinum LED panels there's nothing extremely bad about these panels price point they're good great service great warranty great technology you know there's really nothing to fault them on so again if you have any questions ask me below if you want to purchase this panel head over to platinumled.com if you want to save a few dollars enter discount code elixalex yes I do get a commission for that but you save as well so it's all in win I'll leave it there if you want to know more head over to elixavigus.com and I hope you enjoyed this video
