An honest, side-by-side look at all three panels — what you'd pay at retail, what community pricing brings it down to, and how to pick the right one.

Shopping for a red light panel usually means wading through a maze of specs, inflated "was" prices, and marketing language designed to make comparison difficult. We'd rather make it easy. Here is a straightforward comparison of our three panels — what they're built for, what they actually cost at typical industry retail, and what community pricing brings them down to.
Radiance Spark — $493 USD / $680 CAD price (typical retail $799+). A compact, travel-friendly desktop array built for targeted facial radiance and localized sessions. It carries our full 9-wavelength spectrum in a footprint small enough for a desk, nightstand, or suitcase.
Radiance Rise — $1,196 USD / $1,650 CAD price (typical retail $1,680+). An extra-wide torso panel built for deep, systemic recovery sessions. It adds independent pulse sequencing up to 10,000Hz and built-in Bluetooth soundscape playback, so a session can double as a few minutes of genuine stillness.
The wellness industry is used to 300–400% markups on light and frequency devices — a habit built on the assumption that shoppers won't compare. Community pricing exists because we route around that assumption. We work with the same manufacturing partners as premium retail brands, but we sell direct at close to our own cost, because the mission is a healthier, happier world — not a wide margin on hardware. Every purchase also helps keep the Weekly Wave and the rest of the community free for everyone, always.
If you're starting out, or your space is small: the Radiance Spark is the natural entry point. It provides targeted coverage for a daily facial and upper-body routine without committing a room to it.
If you want full-torso coverage for recovery: the Radiance Rise is built for exactly that. It stands on its own and covers significantly more surface area per session.
Both panels run our full 9-wavelength spectrum — the main difference is coverage area and output, not wavelength quality.
A panel isn't a purchase you make once and revisit — it's a fixture in a daily practice, ideally for years. When comparing retail prices across brands, look past the sticker and ask what a difference of even $0.50 a day adds up to over three years of consistent use. At community pricing, the Radiance Spark ($493 USD / $680 CAD) works out to well under a dollar a day across a three-year window. That's the math worth doing before comparing brand logos.
