Block Blue Light PowerPanel MAX vs Rouge Pro G4
The PowerPanel MAX is the cheaper of the two at $1099.95, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Pro G4 packs more emitters (288 against 240), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose. The Pro G4 covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

PowerPanel MAX
The most methodologically honest spec sheet we have found. They show you both numbers and let you draw the conclusion, which tells you something about the brand.
Pro G4
Rouge discloses more honestly than almost anyone, publishing both measurement methods with distances. Even so, an independent tester came in a third below their own spectrometer number.
