At a glance
What the numbers on the box mean.
This panel publishes its five wavelengths, its 187 mW/cm² at six inches and its 30 degree beam angle, so you can compare it with any other panel on the same terms.

01 · Spectrum
Five bands, named.
"Full spectrum" on a listing tells you nothing until the bands are named. Here are all five, 630nm to 850nm, across roughly 300 LEDs. Scroll through them one at a time.
Reading660nm vs. 850nm: what the two numbers on a red light panel actually mean
Visible red
The first of two red bands.
- 630nmVisible red. The first of two red bands.
- 660nmVisible red. Visible red, slightly longer.
- 810nmNear-infrared. Beyond visible red. The first of three near-infrared bands.
- 830nmNear-infrared. The middle of the near-infrared cluster.
- 850nmNear-infrared. The longest band on the panel. The 1500 Pro continues to 960nm and 1060nm.
02 · Distance
One distance, published.
A brightness number with no distance attached tells you very little. Red Nova publishes the Compact 900 at one: 187 mW/cm² measured at 6 inches. That is the number to set up against. Closer raises intensity over a smaller area, further back covers more of you at less.

03 · Session
Ten to twenty minutes. No appointment.
No booking, no drive, no waiting room. It stands in the corner of a room you already use, and a session fits before the first call of the day.
-
01Position
About 6 inches from the area you are targeting. That is the distance the 187 mW/cm² figure is measured at.
-
02Set
Brightness and timer from the included remote. Nothing else to configure.
-
03Run
10 to 20 minutes. The timer switches the panel off, so there is nothing to keep track of.
Floor stand sold separately. It is wheeled and lockable, so the panel moves between rooms without lifting it.
04 · The honest comparison
Do you need more than this?
Probably not, unless you want to control the session. The two Red Nova panels are close in size but not in control. Here is the difference, stated plainly.
Compact 900
$499- 5 wavelengths, 630nm to 850nm
- 187 mW/cm² at 6 inches
- Remote with brightness and timer
- 17.6 lbs (8 kg)
For switching it on for ten minutes without configuring anything.
1500 Pro
$1,129- 7 wavelengths, adds 960nm and 1060nm
- 212 mW/cm² at 3 inches
- Pulse frequency adjustable from 1 to 999 Hz
- 12 preset modes
For setting a pulse frequency and running a specific protocol.
View the 1500 ProOverview
38.4 inches (975 mm) tall despite the name - 300 LEDs across 5 wavelengths, 187 mW/cm² at 6 inches, remote included.
"Compact" refers to where this panel sits in Red Nova's lineup, not its size - at 38.4 inches (975 mm) it's taller than the company's own Pro300-class competitors and long enough for full-body sessions lying down. 300 LEDs run 630nm and 660nm red light alongside 810nm, 830nm and 850nm near-infrared.
Compact 900 or 1500 Pro
The two Red Nova panels are close in physical size but not in capability. The Compact 900 is the simpler, lighter device with a remote; the 1500 Pro adds two deeper wavelength bands, higher peak irradiance and manual pulse control.
| Compact 900 - this panel | 1500 Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Wavelengths | 5 | 7 - adds 960nm & 1060nm |
| LEDs | ~300 | 308 |
| Peak irradiance | 187 mW/cm² at 6" | 187 mW/cm² at 6" (212 at 3") |
| Power | 900W | 1,500W |
| Dimensions | 38.4" × 9.2" × 3.75" | 37.5" × 12.6" × 3.5" |
| Weight | 17.6 lbs | Heavier |
| Pulse control | N/A | 1-999 Hz adjustable |
| Controls | Remote, brightness + timer | 12 smart modes, live display |
| Matching floor stand | Sold separately | Sold separately |
Shared: 2-year limited warranty, low-EMF design, and a dedicated wheeled floor stand available for each panel. The stands are model-specific and not interchangeable.
The practical difference is control. If you want to switch it on for ten minutes without configuring anything, that is the Compact 900. If you want to set a pulse frequency and run a specific protocol, step up to the 1500 Pro.
