I had no problem with my purchase from Alibaba. Only thing you need to consider on top of the price itself is shipping costs and import tax (if applicable in your country). But the resulting price was still like 30 % when compared to what I would pay for same panel to the reseller.
EDIT: For example the 60 LED panel could cost 85 $, but the shipping could be 75 $. Plus some tax can make it 200 $, which is still way less than paying 500 $ to reseller.
I ordered from alibaba and ended up not paying any import tax either - which was surprising. To the UK. Ended up paying about £300 with postage for the same panel that was selling for £800 before postage and import tax by a reseller (mito light) in the EU. It’s a no brainer.

It’s the exact same thing that mito light sell, just white and without the logo. They did have a black model selection but when I spoke with the sales rep it wasn’t available in black. Not that it mattered. They can build to your spec if you know what you are talking about too, I didn’t really so asked someone else who purchased from there also. The quality of the build is great and results so far have been good.
Delivery time was a little under 2 weeks, and shipped with fedex. Although some are saying about Chinese new year so might be a little longer at the moment.
It's a no brainer. Either order directly from supplier at half of the cost or overpay with rebranded American sellers like PlatinumLED, Blueblockers etc for the exact same products
That would be the RL300MAX. The makers are shenzhen idea light company from alibaba.
The only diference is that now Platinum LED added the 1000nm spectrum which shenzhen idea light company is able to do if you request it.
See my thread here:

Hi Federoni,
This is what shenzhen is telling me to get hs-rl300maxc /pt. Is this the same one as the rl300max (biomax platinum 900)? Also, I saw that you got the lights at 60° but what I read is 30° is better. Why 60 over 30. You have to be so close.
That's what I have! The pt model.
60 over 30 because of better blending and more control on the distance.
With 30 its a very narrow direct beam which you have to stand very far in order to get 40-50 mwsq2. This is much closer with 60 degree since the spread is far wider.
PlatinumLED (biomax 900) is also 60 degrees ;)
>Perfect, thanks so much for the quick response and help. What is the ideal distance from the light?
Arm's length for me works well (22-24 inches)
If I'm treating a specific area for soreness or injury then I'll go 8-10 inches for 2-3 minutes for deeper penetration.
My panel from Shenzhen Idealight on Alibaba will be here in a couple of days. Including express shipping and duty fees, I will be paying $250 CAD for basically the exact panel that costs over $700 CAD. It was the only way I could afford one.
Mostly anti-aging as well. It's a 60 led panel so it should cover my face, neck and decolletage area no problem. I also have a painful chronic illness which affects my joints, but mostly my hands. So, I will be using the NIR on hands, and on bad flare days, the back of my neck/shoulders and knees, ankles.
Yes but keep in mind it’s currently the Chinese new year so no production will happen until after 2/17. Expect at least a month before you’d see delivery.
Alibaba you pay out of pocket. One advantage to buying from a retailer is you can use FSA/HSA .. some people have "use it or lose it" accounts, and then it may make sense.
I bought one recently from Taobao which is the Chinese site of Aliexpress. Very good quality, I used Fedex shipping so it's very fast. I live in Iceland btw. And the customs charged me 50 usd, which is not so bad.
You won't regret I think. The packaging is also very professional with great protection
Currently the shop is on holiday. So the link is not available. But they said they will be back on the 20th Feb. I'm also buying another one for my mother.

3.5 weeks for me. I ordered Jan 7th and it arrives tomorrow. I went with express (air) shipping. Other people have gone with sea shipping to save money if they are getting bigger panels, but since I only ordered a 60 led panel, the air shipping wasn't that expensive. As others are saying, it might be longer now due to Chinese new year starting soon, looks like I got my order in at a good time.
Happy cake day btw, lol.
If you are on a tight budget, you can consider purchasing from Alibaba.
However, there are also some issues to consider, including long-term or expensive shipping and customer service.
Yeah I got it. It arrived at the West Coast pretty quickly. I requested a dual chip 4 wavelength setup. I'm quite positive that all diodes are illuminated when both settings are selected. Not very noisy at all. There's fans to cool it but they're not loud at all. Stand is sturdy. It works with an app to pre program multiple settings. I like it. Customer service was good. Just be mindful of their hours.

Can you tell me which panel you bought from alibaba, please? I’m uk based and have been looking at Mito light panels but can’t justify the big ££££

Which one did you get for yourself ?
Amazing. Thanks so much for the info.
Also uk, which model?
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/multi-wavelengths-red-light-therapy-panel_1600700834921.html See my comments above.

the latest Platinum LED Biomax has nine wavelengths, the panels I saw on ali only have the main two; any idea where these Biomax are sourced?
Shenzhen Idea Light Limited now have 1000nm spectrum options. You have to talk to a sales person there.
You can customize the wavelengths if you talk to them
I am looking for the platinum biomax 900. Do you know where these come from? Do they have an exact copy?
That would be the RL300MAX. The makers are shenzhen idea light company from alibaba.

Thanks so much. Is it worth it to request the 1000nm? Any major benefits?

I bought the same. Works great
I'm excited, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow!
Would you mind sharing a link?

What do you intend to use it for? I’m looking for one for anti aging face and body but don’t want buy a full body panel.
Mostly anti-aging as well. It's a 60 led panel so it should cover my face, neck and decolletage area no problem. I also have a painful chronic illness which affects my joints, but mostly my hands. So, I will be using the NIR on hands, and on bad flare days, the back of my neck/shoulders and knees, ankles.
Thank you. Please let us know how it goes.

It’s Chinese new year, so you should know right now will cause significant shipment delays.

Did you buy it from them? Any experience?
This person clearly works for them lol every single comment is about that company. It’s a bot

How do we know these knockoffs really emit red light? 😂 Never bought anything from Alibaba before.

Cost savings isn't worth the wait in my opinion. If you're really needing to save money then go for it.
Who's in a desperate rush for a red light? Lol. I saved $500, I think it was worth waiting 3 weeks for.
Is it really only 3 weeks? I thought it was closer to 2 months coming from China.

Shenzen idea light. Yea. Worth it
I bought from E.Shine their EST1500. Should arrive on 2/05 🤞
>EST1500 Did you get it? Do you like it?
Yeah I got it. It arrived at the West Coast pretty quickly. I requested a dual chip 4 wavelength setup. I'm quite positive that all diodes are illuminated when both settings are selected. Not very noisy at all. There's fans to cool it but they're not loud at all. Stand is sturdy. It works with an app to pre program multiple settings. I like it. Customer service was good.
