90 cm vs 150 cm Red Light Panel: Which Should You Buy?
Last updated
A 90 cm class panel lights about half of an adult's body in one position, while a 150 cm class panel lights most of it at once. Choose 90 cm if you mainly want one area per session or have limited space and budget; choose 150 cm if you want your whole body in one position and have a door, wall or stand that can hold about 25 kg.
Note: "90 cm" and "150 cm" are panel heights, not use distances.

Coverage, in plain numbers
A panel lights roughly its own height in front of it, a little more as you step back.
| Your height | 97.5 cm panel lights about | 153 cm panel lights about |
|---|---|---|
| 160 cm | 61% of your height | 96% |
| 175 cm | 56% | 87% |
| 190 cm | 51% | 81% |
Panel height ÷ your height, rounded. With the 90 cm class you cover the rest by moving the panel or yourself; with the 150 cm class one position covers most of you.
Time per session
If you light the front and back of your whole body:
- 90 cm class: 4 positions (upper front, lower front, upper back, lower back).
- 150 cm class: 2 positions (front, back).
At the same minutes per position, the 150 cm panel halves the total time for whole-body sessions. If you only light one area, there is no time difference.
Space and set-up
| 90 cm class | 150 cm class | |
|---|---|---|
| Fits on | Door, wall hook, small stand | Door (about 200–210 cm), wall, floor stand |
| Load to plan for | about 12 kg | about 25 kg |
| Handling | One person | Two people recommended |

Quick decision
- Choose 90 cm (Half) if you light one area per session, have a smaller room, or want to stay under €1,000.
- Choose 150 cm (Full) if you want whole-body sessions in fewer positions, share the panel with people of different heights, and have a fixing for 25 kg.
