How much should I spend on a red light therapy panel?

The reviewers we read repeatedly stress that expensive does not always mean better. Budget tabletop panels around $150-300 (BestQool, Hooga) earn strong value praise in specialist communities, while $1,000+ quad-chip and full-body units add coverage and wavelength options that casual users may not need. Several community members explicitly warn against overpaying for branding when power output is comparable.
