Good
- Irradiance comes from a signed LightLab International report using a spectral irradiance meter, not a solar meter
- The tested unit used Mean Well drivers, the driver type EMR-TEK now reserves for its Pro models
- Stands on its own pegs or hangs from a door; goggles included
- Built-in 110/220 V converter
Not so good
- The report tested an "Inferno" in 2023, so it covers the Pro only as far as the hardware is unchanged
- The report lists 630, 670 and 850 nm LEDs, while the product page says 630, 660 and 830 nm
- $1,899.99 sale price, more than the measured BioMax 900 and MitoPRO 1500X
- No 510(k) clearance, and a powered-on unit cannot be returned
The Inferno Pro is a tall panel for the torso, with five 200 W COB modules down the middle and 132 smaller LEDs around them. Its strongest point is paperwork. EMR-TEK posts a signed report from LightLab International, an independent lab in Pennsylvania, that measured 138.39 mW/cm² at 6 inches and 67.22 mW/cm² at 12 inches with a Gigahertz-Optik spectral irradiance meter. Few panel brands publish anything like it.
Read that number carefully. LightLab measured a single point directly below the centre of the panel, which sits under a COB module. The figures for other panels on this page are averages across the face of the panel from reviewer Alex Fergus, so the two are not directly comparable. The report also covers a 2023 unit sold as the “Inferno”. It used Mean Well drivers, which EMR-TEK now lists as the Pro upgrade, and its LED list (630, 670, 850 nm) does not match the current product page (630, 660, 830 nm).
Both sets of wavelengths fall in the red and near-infrared ranges used in skin trials. The panel has no blue channel, so it suits evening use. EMR-TEK recommends 5 to 10 minutes at 16 to 24 inches with goggles on.
The price is the problem. At a $1,899.99 sale price (regular $1,999.99) it costs more than the PlatinumLED BioMax 900 and the MitoPRO 1500X, which both have independent spectrometer readings. EMR-TEK sells the same panel with its older drivers as the standard Inferno for $1,699.99. For the face alone, an FDA-cleared mask like the Omnilux Contour Face is the better buy. For a first panel, the Hooga HG300 costs a tenth as much.
