LUMEBOX 2.0 vs Vital Elite
The LUMEBOX 2.0 is the cheaper of the two at $629, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Vital Elite covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

LUMEBOX 2.0
The best portable option if you travel or want to treat specific areas. Not a substitute for a panel if you want full-body sessions.
Vital Elite
The weakest evidence quality of the panels we track. A big number with no distance attached and an unnamed testing lab is a claim, not a measurement.
