FlexBeam review
Class II exempt, not cleared, despite an FDA Cleared badge appearing elsewhere on their own site. The NIR-heavy configuration is genuinely well suited to joints.
DISCLOSURE — we earn commission on purchases made through our links, at no extra cost to you. Rankings come from specifications and measurements, never from commission rates.
What we like
- Five year warranty, by far the longest here
- Six of its nine LEDs are 814nm near-infrared, the right bias for deep tissue
- Genuinely wearable, battery powered, strapped hands-free
What to know
- The 110 mW/cm2 claim has no stated distance, so it is unverifiable
- Only nine LEDs in total for $599 is poor emitter value
- Their own site carries an FDA Cleared badge while their FAQ correctly says Class II exempt, which is not clearance
