Vellgus Red Light Therapy Panels: Specs, Irradiance & Honest FDA Status

4 devices in the database · updated October 2026

Vellgus, based in USA/Canada distribution, sells red light therapy panels; 4 panels are recorded here. It positions itself as mid; multi-band Multiwave+. Specs come from the brand's own pages, irradiance is labeled by instrument, and blanks mean the brand did not publish the field.

Honesty check: Claims 'FDA cleared for home use' - actually only registered/listed; no 510(k). No rectangular red light panel is FDA-cleared; the strongest real status for a panel is FDA-registered, which is a listing, not a clearance. See our FDA explainer.
