Two Mats and 2,520 LEDs, With No Output Test

The Red Light Therapy Blanket is a full-body LED mat in two halves that zip together or work apart, 70.9 by 31.5 inches with 2,520 LEDs at 660 and 850 nm, mains-powered with two controllers, a pulsed mode and a timer, and Bon Charge gives 20 minutes a day. No measurement of it exists, so light output is not scored; Bon Charge states over 170 mW/cm2 from a 270 W blanket. FDA lists it as a lamp exempt from premarket review, made by Sunglor Technology, with no 510(k) and no safety listing, so it scores 2 on verification. Six editorial testers like lying on it and splitting it in two, and three call it heavy and hard to store. It is $1,999 on boncharge.com.

PROS
  • 2,233 square inch treatment area

CONS
  • No independent output measurement
  • No safety listing in Intertek's or UL's directories
  • Heavy at 22 lb and hard to store, per three testers
  • Several cables and no printed manual, per one tester
  • One 2025 review gave 600 LEDs against 2,520 now
  • 1-year warranty, claimed by shipping the blanket to Australia at the buyer's cost

The Red Light Therapy Blanket is a full-body LED mat in two halves that zip together or work apart, 70.9 by 31.5 inches together and 22 lb, carrying 2,520 LEDs at 660 and 850 nm in an SBR shell. It plugs into the mains through two adaptors and two controllers, with adjustable intensity, a pulsed mode at 10 or 40 Hz and a session timer, and Bon Charge gives a 10 to 30 minute protocol and 20 minutes a day. Bon Charge rates it at 270 W and states over 170 mW/cm2 with no distance or instrument. Goggles are included, and a replacement adaptor is $79. Bon Charge's warranty covers it for 1 year from delivery.

Bon Charge is the trading name of BLUblox Pty Ltd of Osborne Park, Western Australia, founded in 2017 as BLUblox by Andy and Katie Mant and renamed Bon Charge in 2022. FDA lists BLUblox as an exporter of devices made by others: GUDID records name Sunglor Technology Co., Ltd. of Shenzhen as the maker of its panels, Mini, blanket and both masks, and Light Tree Ventures Europe B.V. of The Hague as the maker of its cap. It sells direct from boncharge.com and ships US orders from abroad. Amazon US lists no Bon Charge light device, only three reseller listings for its glasses with 0 or 1 rating each, and no US retailer sells its light devices with a review file of their own, so those two pools are blank on every row. Its Trustpilot profile, under the blublox.com domain, reads 3.7 from 1,659 reviews, 73 percent five-star against 21 percent one-star; Bon Charge claimed it in September 2020, invites reviews and replies to 67 percent of negative ones. Complaints there and on Reddit cover late deliveries, unanswered email, store credit only on orders bought with a code of 25 percent or more, and returns and warranty claims shipped to Australia at the buyer's cost. The BBB holds no file on the company. FDA's recall and adverse-event databases hold no Bon Charge entry, and a federal class action filed in Delaware in January 2025, King v. Bon Charge, concerns its marketing text messages. Bon Charge pays creators 15 percent through an ambassador programme, so most write-ups of its devices carry a Bon Charge code or link, and each is named with its tie where it is used. The review widget on boncharge.com is first-party and counts in no pool, nor do Bon Charge's own channels, its ambassadors' and advisers' posts or The Chalkboard Mag's partnership pieces; Nick Engerer's and Dr Carrie Rigoni's reviews count nowhere because their sites carry codes for competing brands. Every Bon Charge red light device carries a 1-year warranty from delivery, and items may be returned within 30 days at the buyer's cost. On this row three pools are populated: web coverage reads the blanket itself, and Reddit and YouTube read Bon Charge at brand level, YouTube a point lower because its coverage holds no blanket.
