Our Verdict
The highest disclosed irradiance in the consumer category at 50 mW/cm² combined (26 mW/cm² red + 24 mW/cm² NIR). HigherDose did the one thing almost no one else does: they published their irradiance, broken out by wavelength. That's substantially higher than Omnilux's 30 mW/cm² and means more photons per minute of treatment. Whether that matters clinically is a fair question — Omnilux's 30 mW/cm² is what's been clinically tested. Brand evidence is lighter than Omnilux or CurrentBody, but the hardware math is more honest than most competitors.

About HigherDose
HigherDose did the one thing almost no one else in this category does: they published their irradiance broken out by wavelength. For a buyer comparing spec sheets, HigherDose has the cleanest, most honest hardware story in the category, and it's $46 cheaper than Omnilux. The gap is clinical validation — they don't have a published study on their own device.
