Designed around spectrum, not just two wavelengths

Most red light panels are built around a very narrow definition of red and near-infrared light. Typically, this means one visible red wavelength (commonly 660 nm) and one near-infrared wavelength (commonly 850 nm), driven hard to maximise quoted output.

This approach is simple to manufacture and easy to market, but it treats light delivery as a blunt tool. The body does not interact with light at a single depth, and different tissues respond differently depending on wavelength and penetration.

NovaThera panels were designed around layered spectral coverage rather than relying on two headline values. Multiple red and near-infrared wavelengths are used, each selected for how deeply it penetrates and how it complements neighbouring wavelengths.

This broader spectrum allows light delivery to be distributed across surface tissue, muscle and deeper structures instead of concentrating output into one narrow band.

Importantly, NovaThera panels allow independent wavelength control. Rather than grouping all wavelengths together, each part of the spectrum can be adjusted individually.

For a detailed explanation of how each wavelength is used, see the 9-Wave Spectrum overview.

Control designed for repeatable, real-world use

A panel is only useful if it can be adjusted easily and used consistently over time. Many panels offer basic on and off control or limited presets, which encourages experimentation rather than repeatable sessions.

NovaThera panels are designed to behave predictably from session to session. Independent intensity control, adjustable session timing and the ability to store presets allow users to return to the same settings without constantly reconfiguring the panel.

Pulse control is treated as a practical tool, not a novelty feature.

Rather than being fixed or imposed, pulse frequency can be adjusted across a wide range or disabled entirely, allowing the user to decide how light is delivered.

Performance measured where it actually matters

Output figures are often presented in ways that look impressive on paper but have little relevance to how a panel is actually used. Quoting diode wattage or peak readings taken at unrealistic distances tells you very little about real exposure.

NovaThera panels are designed and calibrated around practical usage distances. The focus is on delivering consistent, meaningful light density where the user actually stands or sits.

Beam angle plays a significant role in how light behaves once it leaves the panel. Many panels use wider 60° optics to increase apparent coverage, but this also causes light to spread too quickly, reducing usable irradiance at practical distances.

NovaThera panels use a 30° beam angle as a deliberate balance between coverage and intensity.

This narrower optic concentrates light more effectively, maintaining meaningful irradiance without excessive scattering, while still providing broad enough coverage for full-body and multi-area use. The result is light that performs consistently in real sessions, rather than appearing wide but weak in practice.

Even light distribution matters just as much as raw intensity.

Uneven delivery leads to inconsistent exposure across the body, which is why output uniformity is treated as a core design requirement rather than an afterthought.

Built as long-term hardware, not disposable devices

A red light panel is a piece of hardware that users return to repeatedly over years, not a disposable wellness accessory.

NovaThera panels are built with this in mind, from iron construction and thermal management to system protection designed to maintain stability over extended use.

Gen 6 safety logic continuously monitors operating conditions.

This helps prevent overheating or unstable behaviour, protecting both the user and the longevity of the panel itself.
