Why are therapy lights so expensive?
Last Updated: 28.06.2025 00:15
After a ton of research, I decided to buy the “Hooga HG24 bulb” with the cord and I also purchased a stand separately. Grand total: $60.
Slightly less convenient for facial use since it doesn’t conform to your face and you have to be somewhat stationary with the bulb.
It’s AFFORDABLE at just $40 for the bulb+cord+power switch itself
I’ve been in the market for a red light therapy device and, like many of you, I’m dismayed by the pricing on every product that’s actually legitimate.
Cons:
3-year warranty, 60-day satisfaction guarantee
It has the very close technical specifications to the Omniluxe (Bulb 650 nm 850 ni, Omniluxe 630 nm 830 ni) MINUS the number of lights
Hope this helps others :)
Pros:
Comes with a cord attached so it’s basically its own complete lamp when you buy the stand
Hooga is a reputable Red Light seller
You can shine the bulb anywhere on your body (beauty-specific masks are limiting). I’ll be treating my face as well as my alopecia areata on the top of my head.
Yes, there’s a huge difference in total number of LEDs, but to put it in context, the Solawave has about five and this bulb has 12. The ones on this bulb are BIG. It casts light on my entire face when I’m up close.
It has its pros and cons but the pros vastly outweigh the cons in my opinion…
