Wavelengths and output
The MitoADAPT MAX 4.0 uses 8 wavelengths, 590–940 nm on 288 TruDUAL LED packages (576 chips); the PlatinumLED BioMax 900 7 wavelengths, 480–1060 nm on 300 LEDs.
On output, Mito Red Light lists over 140 mW/cm² at 6 inches on a consumer solar meter and over 60 mW/cm² at 6 inches in third-party spectroradiometer testing. PlatinumLED gives no single headline number on the page; it publishes lab charts and links third-party verified lab intensity testing for every model. A lab (spectroradiometer) figure is the one to compare: consumer solar meters read much higher.
EMF, flicker and controls
Mito Red Light says the panel "emits no detectable EMF" at 6+ inches; Bluetooth can be switched off. Mito Red Light says the MitoADAPT 4.0 "is flicker-free". PlatinumLED says there is no readable EMF at 4 inches or further (0.0 μT at 4 in). It doesn't say whether the PlatinumLED BioMax 900 is flicker-free.
Controls on the MitoADAPT MAX 4.0: eight circuits you can run independently, 11 modes, touchscreen, Bluetooth app, multi-panel arrays with a wireless remote. On the PlatinumLED BioMax 900: integrated digital control panel and timer, included touch-screen remote, modular multi-light linking. No pulsing (PlatinumLED reserves it for the BIOMAX PRO).
