Light Output▼7/10

Hooga panels measure 40–65 mW/cm² at 6 inches in independent tests. The HG300 and HG1500 land near the mid-range. Output is real but not leading for the category.

Value for Money▼9/10

Among the lowest cost-per-LED in the category. The entry-level HG200 at $149 makes red light therapy accessible to buyers priced out of mid-range options.

Product Lineup▼6/10

Panels in multiple sizes (HG200 through HG1500) but no portable, no wearable, and no targeted device. The lineup is panel-only.

Build & Support▼5/10

Plastic housing on entry models and inconsistent fan noise across units are real drawbacks, but Hooga backs its panels with a 3-year warranty. Longer than most competitors reviewed here. Support response times are slow per documented community complaints.
