Hooga PRO300 vs Hooga HG500
The PRO300 is the cheaper of the two at $299, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The HG500 packs more emitters (100 against 60), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose.

PRO300
The cleanest product page in our entire catalogue: no internal contradictions, wall draw separated from rated LED power, and a full distance curve. Whatever you think of the hardware, this is how a spec sheet should read.
HG500
The sensible step up from the HG300 if you want to cover a back or both legs in one session rather than treating one area at a time.
