PlatinumLED's Older Switch-Operated Panel, Being Discontinued

The BIO 450 is PlatinumLED's older 150-LED panel at 480, 660 and 850 nm, 19 by 11 inches, run from two on-off switches with no timer, and PlatinumLED is discontinuing the series. FDA's device identifier database carries BIO records from 2020, but no 510(k) exists, the BIO is missing from the importer's current registration listing and Intertek's directory carries no listing, so it scores 2 on verification. PlatinumLED publishes no output figure for the current build, and Light Therapy Insiders' 59 mW/cm2 average is for the smaller BIO 300, so light output is not scored. Reddit owners are mostly content with it, while the same tester advises buyers who can afford it to take the BIOMAX. It is $499 on platinumtherapylights.com, and PlatinumLED's open-box page sells new BIO 450s at $299 while the series is cleared.

PROS

  • Simple on-off switches for red and near-infrared
  • Real power draw published: 184 W
  • 209 square inch face
  • 3-year warranty
CONS
  • No safety listing in Intertek's directory
  • No output figure published for the current build
  • No timer or dimming, and the blue cannot be switched off without the near-infrared
  • Being discontinued
  • Its FAQ still describes red-only, infrared-only and 50/50 versions no longer sold

The BIO 450 is a panel from PlatinumLED's older, simpler BIO series, 19 by 11 by 3 inches and 17 lb, carrying 150 LEDs at 480, 660 and 850 nm. Two on-off switches run it, one for the 660 nm LEDs and one for the 850 and 480 nm LEDs together, with no timer or dimming; it draws 184 W from the mains and hangs from an included over-door hook, and PlatinumLED's guidance on the page is 10 to 20 minutes per treatment area. PlatinumLED is discontinuing the BIO series; the BIO 600 lists at $769. PlatinumLED's warranty covers the panel for 3 years.

Brand-level

PlatinumLED is the trade name of Platinum LED Holdings LLC of Lake Mary, Florida, run by its founders Mark and Michelle Sawyer. FDA's registration lists the company as developing specifications rather than manufacturing, and E.Shine Systems Limited of China lists the BIOMAX and BIOMAX PRO panels under its own FDA registration; US customs records name E Shine and suppliers in Thailand and Malaysia. PlatinumLED sells direct from platinumtherapylights.com and pays affiliates 5 percent through a referral programme. Amazon US carries only its link-out listings for multi-panel sets, with 0 reviews, and no US retailer sells a PlatinumLED device with a review file of its own, so those two pools are blank on every row. Its Trustpilot profile reads 4.0 from 198 reviews, 151 of them in the last 12 months; PlatinumLED claimed the profile in October 2025 and invites reviews, the profile read 1.9 from 47 before it was claimed, and in September 2026 the split was 61 percent five-star against 32 percent one-star. Complaints there cover the 20 percent restocking fee, buyer-paid return freight, refused warranty claims and combative replies. The BBB holds three files on the company, rated F, F and C, none accredited, with 21 complaints in three years between them. FDA's recall database holds no PlatinumLED entry, and its adverse-event database holds two injury reports on the BIOMAX 900, from 2022 and 2026. Joovv's patent suit against Platinum LED Holdings ended in a consent judgment for Joovv in March 2023, and Mito Red Light's false-advertising suit against PlatinumLED's companies and its marketing contractor closed in September 2023. The review widget on platinumtherapylights.com is first-party and counts in no pool, nor does PlatinumLED's own YouTube channel, and Fuel Health & Wellness counts in no pool because the channel carries Mito and Kineon codes. Every PlatinumLED device carries a 3-year warranty for its original buyer. LED panels may be returned within 60 days less a 20 percent restocking fee and return shipping, a panel counts as open box once delivered, and stands and accessories are final sale. On this row three pools are populated; Reddit reads the BIO 450 itself, and web and YouTube read the BIO 300, the same design with fewer LEDs.
