      Hey. I have covered this in numerous videos/posts. Platinum did have a rapid growth peroid a few years back which is where a lot of these bad experiences came from. I'm not defending them - but this did happen. They have since expanded their customer service dept and I have only heard good things from people who have purchased their panels of late.

    Alex you should be aware that there is no way to turn off the RF emissions on the Biomax lights, when they are paired together. They include a cable giving you the impression that you can link the panels together without Wifi emissions, but the cable does nothing and there is no way to turn off the Wifi in the menus. I contacted Platinum tech support and they seemed very dismissive about this, just saying that the 2.4ghz radiation was harmless. I would like to hear what Mark thinks about this, as I am sure the tech support people will not bring this to his attention. Hopefully he will add a software update for this rather than continue to sell the panels with a cable that gives the false impression that you can link panels without Wifi radiation.

      @Zoni3gurl I am posting a few places as I was one of the buyers that just did business with them against my better judgement of seeing the ratings and I want to save others from the same mistake. Over $5,000 worth of business . It is the most dishonest and horrid customer service company I have ever done business with. You can see the review of what happened on BBB (where they have an F score) and Trust Pilot (where they have the lowest score possible) for details. Reviews on a customer website are easily fabricated - they have endless negative reviews on 3rd party sites, but none on their own site, which should give people a sense of how valid the positive reviews on their site are. They cancelled my order the day its was finally scheduled to be delivered, a month late with no notification, no refund receipt, I found this out day of delivery from Fed Ex when it didn't arrive. The Rep at Platinum LED hung up on me when I inquired and my number is blocked from calling the customer service line for resolution.
      The good news is we're finding alternatives we wouldn't have learned about otherwise - Hooga - particularly their new HG ULTRA (stronger specs, far better price and customer service reviews), GembaRed, MitoRed - all that have far superior reputations. Of course there's Joov & others as well, but most people who know of Platinum LED, work with them or know of them as well.

    I'm new to health apps using light - doing my due diligence on led panels etc. In this interview, the BIOMax owner, Mark S. poo hoos the benefit of pulsed wave (PW) vs continuous wave (CW - BioMax tech). Two points - 1) He is right in saying that pulsing light from higher powered LASER devices can reduce the burning of tissue due to decreased "thermal effect" (sic). However, he suggests that lower heat generating LEDS don't "require" pulsing due to an acceptable & tolerable level of "thermal effect" on the body, and therefore HIS product line doesn't have UNNECESSARY pulsing features like other companies' product offerings - suggesting that pulsing is a worthless gimmick. Studies on skin, dating back to 2010 (D.Barolet et al) illustrate real benefits to pulsing LOW Level Light Therapy compared to continuous wave. More recent head and brain studies tout the benefits of 10Hz & 40Hz pulsing vs continuous wave LED's, due to native brain wave oscillations in the corresponding bands of alpha & gamma brainwave frequencies. 2) He ignores that pulsing, thereby lowering the duty cycle of the LEDS, will actually increase the durability and product life of the LED/Panel. I welcome any input from more learned EE's or scientists in the field.

    Alex I hope you update your review to have accurate information on the Biomax RF output. In your review you state that the RF function is not a requirement for linking multiple panels. That is incorrect. The ONLY way you can connect multiple panels is when the 2.4Ghz RF radio is on, the cables that come with the unit to connect them do nothing, and there is no way to disable the RF radio when the panels are linked together.

    I would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge you, and the wonderful things you do for us. I am dumbfounded at the level of hard work you put in to simplify things for us…the links you’ve created…all the hard work behind it. I never even saw that before.
    Thank you so much for the questions that you asked tonite. Every time I thought of something -you would ask it. It just shows how connected you are with the people and what they need. I felt that you were asking questions for me because I would’ve asked the question about the migraine all of them. It was very informative and now I have to go back to the drawing board because I changed my mind again :-)
    I am sorry I did not see or know about the other links. I mentioned I was visually impaired and that is the truth.
    It’s difficult for me to search on sites that are not familiar to me. The websites from the red light therapy are especially hard on my eyes but then again, I really wasn’t digging for any links. I had no idea that you had all of that work. Done my goodness I never would’ve bugged you. I can’t thank you enough for answering me and Bart to who by the way is so sweet had you not answered me I just would’ve rolled over in my bed and faced my fate, I literally was barely hanging on by a thread and I so appreciate how quickly you answered me and I’m sorry that I didn’t just go to the links in the first place but like I said, it is now clear to me exactly how hard you work I really didn’t know to what extent you take things and I am really impressed at the amount of work and time you put into it all for us. I am really grateful to have people like you to share this Oxygen with that I breathe in you’re the last of the Mohicans people like you were almost obsolete, and I want you to know that. How do you not being so responsive? I really didn’t have any more fight left in me I was basically done.
    Alex- you are more of a Doctor Who cares about everyone’s situation and wants to help them
    than any doctor (other than two that I know.).
    If you didn’t do that video, which you probably don’t even find that significant probably, but it was a life changer for me that video you did on what happened to me when I stopped I like therapy for 30 days is when the light went off in my head. I never put two into together until then I knew that I felt good when I went and knew that I am bedbound, but never once did it occurred to me exactly to What extreme affected me at? I realize that I am much worse now than I was back then because stress took over many things happened, but I also know that I did not feel that good even before I got sick it was like jumping in the swimming pool of the movie cocoon.
    Well, then circumstances changed. I stopped red light therapy and my health declined.
    Stress is a big factor because of what I’m dealing with
    it’s all political so you can imagine
    but I am fighting for my rights and I will
    the law needs to change.
    I couldn’t help stop thinking about these frail old people who can’t speak for themselves
    and how they must be treated if I was treated the way I was.
    It would be a disservice to humanity for me not to, but I’ve set out to change the law and I will.
    You know, when I left the hospital I was given a stack of papers on things that they wanted me to do in my recovery and on top was red light therapy. Then there was acupuncture or acupressure and many other things and I vividly remember as fucked up as I was, I don’t know how I remember that but I do and I allowed to say that? Well, I’m voice texting so it’s gonna have to stay well find out I always get grounded when I speak. Because I have things to say.
    And they are of value.
    You are a better doctor to me than my doctors were. And I’ll tell you why. Not one of them bothered, making my appointment starting my treatment with red light… However what they did to you as well. I was under anesthesia and all fucked up. They had me sign something to take this non-FDA approved drug that I later found out did not match with a very serious drug. I was on before that you would think that they would make sure considering it was in the system, and then not only that they had me make out another list when I came in at 5 AM. But to give me a dragon, it’s not FDA approved that I later found out did more damage to me than Good instead of the right thing to do, which is exactly what they didn’t do none of the treatments recommended because you see the drug companies won’t make money that way and they will go down and under and less they give them to us and those old frail people are going to take them because they don’t know any better. And saw the Law absolutely needs to change. They make revisions to their rules and regulations that they’re not even following to begin with when I saw USDA on the list it’s all a front when I saw the HH ass on the list I had to laugh out loud they are hypocrites. It’s just for show as long as you guys can get money out of them to do research on red light then more power to you but they are nothing but a bunch of corrupt liars and politicians. I’m about to expose them they don’t care about people or they would promote these therapies rather than give a pill that will slowly start killing a person it’s disgusting how they work together the insurance companies with the pharmaceutical companies with the doctors I almost died in my bad Alex and they’re going to pay for that. I want to thank you for doing that video when you live in so much pain that you can’t stand it. It’s really hard to think I can’t fight if I feel sick I don’t know what else to say other than I would’ve been dead in about three months and I have a job to do I didn’t want to go but I was just too sick to get up. I still am I’m ordering a unit and they’re going to pay for it. I’m sending them the fucking bill. I’ve turned into a potty mouth because of them too. I used to be a lady, but they turned me into a monster that I am. I’m so angry at how they treat the vulnerable in the sick did it just angers me to a degree that it fuels me and I am serious. I’m sending them the bill and they will pay for it because it was on my therapy treatment that I never got. You are A better doctor than the one that operated on me and I don’t know if you realize that you saved my life but you did and if you did that can you imagine how many other lives you’re doing this to what a gift Alex what a wonderful gift you are to have such a beautiful purpose in your life. I am truly from the bottom of my heart grateful to you. Your success is going to be so big. You won’t even be able to see the top of it. I am so happy for your baby on the way in for your beautiful wife your family your business you’re gonna be bigger than you can handle because you have a big heart and that’s where it starts, you are a true humanitarian and you have my utmost adoration and respect. I will never forget what you did for me for the rest of my days. I just wanted you to know that and I wanted to say it publicly. Potty mouth and all.
    Warmest wishes, always grateful, (and by the way, what do you do with all of the other panels leaned up against your wall…:)
    Please excuse my typos I’m voice texting this. I don’t see well in closing. I wanted to say something that’s so not my business but I can’t help it. It’s stronger than me. You woke up and activist. I’m gonna fight, and I fight for other people more than myself but I had a problem with the 5% Alex thing… All I can say is they better kick you down 25% more because if they’re just matching that I think you’re getting gypped look at all the business you’re bringing them seriously I did my homework and I know I’m right you better be getting at least 25% Alex or I’m gonna go after them too. I never would’ve gone to their website had it not been for you and remember I’ve been in bed for a year and a half… I’m just saying… OK now you can block me and I’m sure I’ll be grounded, but at least I spoke

      Many studies available, but best to check out this review: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4126803/
      The study is eight years old though, so more recent studies won't be included. And yes, there are many studies on light such as 620 or 630nm and skin health, so the 10% of light going to that part of the red light spectrum is very advantageous. -- Bart from team Alexfergus.
