The Red Without The App, Or The Long Warranty

The Lyte is Revian's lower-priced cap: 102 LEDs at 620 and 660 nm against the Red's 119, in the same soft shell, with no app, so a sensor on the cap starts the 10-minute session and beeps to mark it. Its 510(k), K242441 from September 2024, names the Revian Lyte (10011) and describes it as a model in the Red's family, cleared on bench testing. Revian gives its dose as 1.3 J/cm2 against the Red's 1.0 despite the fewer LEDs, publishes no irradiance, and no independent tester has measured it. The warranty is 12 months against the Red's 3 years, and the guarantee returns 60 percent of the price, claimed in the 12th or 13th month, with no usage condition because nothing logs use. No owner, editor or video reviewer has written about the Lyte by name, so its social reading leans on the Red and on Revian's small review files. It is $1,295 on revian.com, $1,050 at Bosley and $995 on Amazon, where Revian sells it.

The Revian Lyte is a cordless soft cap with 102 LEDs, 52 at 620 nm and 50 at 660 nm, run for 10 minutes a day by a sensor on the cap that starts the session and beeps, with no app. It shares the Red's shell, its 0.34 lb weight and its fit of 21.26 to 25.20 inches, runs on a lithium-ion battery and comes with a headliner adjustment kit, an AC adaptor kit and a clear support base. Revian covers it for 12 months, and its guarantee refunds 60 percent of the price to a buyer who asks between the 12th and the end of the 13th month.

Brand-level

Revian is the trading name of Revian, Inc. of Morrisville, North Carolina, a Delaware corporation formerly named PhotonMD, Inc., which describes itself as an operating subsidiary of KNOW Bio, LLC; PhotonMD filed the REVIAN trademark in February 2016 and the Red began shipping in April 2019. FDA's establishment records list Revian as the specification developer and name Tutamen de Mexico of Tijuana and Opulent Solutions of Penang, Malaysia as the makers; the same records carry two private-label versions of its caps, the GetHairMD Hair Growth System under the Red's clearance and the LOCKrx Red Light Cap under the Lyte's. FDA's databases hold no Revian recall or adverse-event report. Independent review files are small: Trustpilot holds 2 reviews of revian.com on an unclaimed profile that has never invited reviews, one 1-star and one 2-star; SmartCustomer (formerly Sitejabber) holds 1 at 2.5; the BBB rates Revian, Inc. A+, not accredited, with no complaints and no customer reviews. Revian's own review widget, its YouTube channel and its clinic partners' pages count in no pool. Revian pays a $100 Amazon gift card for each referred Red sale and gives clinics and salons referral codes, and each tie is named where a source carries one. Amazon US lists only the Lyte, sold by Revian itself, with 2 ratings, under the 10 a pool needs, so the Amazon pool is blank. Bosley and dermatology practices resell both caps without review files, so the retailer pool is blank. On this row three pools are populated: Reddit and YouTube read the Red, the model the Lyte's own 510(k) names as its family, and the web reads Revian as a brand.
