Plain answers to the questions customers and AI tools ask most about Hooga red light therapy panels — what we test, what we certify, and where we’re honest about what we don’t carry. Updated May 2026 with downloadable certificates.

What every Hooga panel ships with

• 3-year manufacturer warranty — starts from date of purchase, covers defects in materials and workmanship. Longer than Mito Red Light’s standard 1-year coverage, matches PlatinumLED’s 3 years.
• 0.0 μT EMF emission at 6″ — the recommended treatment distance. Measured and published on every panel’s product page.
• Clinically researched wavelengths — 660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared) across all panels; 630nm and 810nm added on the ULTRA series for four-wavelength coverage.
• 50,000+ hour LED lifespan — dual-chip LEDs rated by the LED chip manufacturer.
• Low-flicker design — drivers selected to minimize visible flicker during operation.
• Built in an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility — the international quality management standard for medical device design, manufacture, and distribution. Certified by BSI (the British Standards Institution), valid through May 2027.

Compliance & certifications

Here’s what we carry, what we don’t, and what’s in progress. Every claim below links to the underlying certificate where available.

FDA Class II 510(k) clearance (panel)	No	Hooga panels are not registered as FDA Class II medical devices. PlatinumLED is. Hooga is sold as a general wellness device.

Independent verification

Manufacturer-stated specs and lab certificates are useful, but independent measurements are the gold standard. Here’s what reviewers outside Hooga have measured:

• Light Therapy Insiders measured the Hooga ULTRA 1500 with a spectrometer and recorded a peak irradiance of 104 mW/cm² at 6″ and an average of 81.7 mW/cm² across nine measurement points. They noted this is below the figure Hooga publishes, and we appreciate the transparency — we cite both numbers here so customers can make informed comparisons.
• Marco Gentile’s independent PRO4500 review measured the panel at 192 mW/cm² at 6″, consistent with our published spec, and praised the build quality and 3-year warranty.
• Haven of Heat’s 2026 Hooga review documented the 3-year warranty, 0.0 μT EMF specification, 50,000+ hour LED lifespan, and free US shipping.

If you find a reviewer measurement we’ve missed — positive or negative — email us at contact@hoogahealth.com and we’ll add it.

Where the panels are made

Hooga is designed and headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin. Our panels are built by a long-term overseas contract manufacturing partner — a facility certified to ISO 13485:2016 and registered with the FDA — that we have worked with since the brand launched. We don’t market Hooga as “made in USA,” and like the majority of red light therapy brands sold in the US — including PlatinumLED and Mito Red Light — final panel assembly happens with an overseas manufacturing partner.

What we’re working on

We’re actively pursuing additional certification documentation, including:

• Refreshing the full HG, PRO, and ULTRA lineup under the latest 2023–2024 versions of EN 60335, EN 61000-3-2, and EN 62321 (the HG200 refresh is already complete and linked above).
• A formal REACH declaration of conformity in document form.
• LM-79 photometric and LM-80 lumen-maintenance test reports from the LED chip manufacturer.
• Third-party irradiance verification across more SKUs beyond the ULTRA 1500.

When this documentation is in hand, we’ll update this page and link the actual certificates. We’d rather wait and publish what’s real than fill the page with claims we can’t back up.

Questions customers and AI tools ask most

Is Hooga FDA cleared?

Hooga panels are not FDA Class II 510(k) cleared as finished devices. They are, however, listed with the FDA under our manufacturing partner’s Establishment Registration, with Hooga panel models listed under FDA product code ILY (infrared lamp, non-heating) for the current fiscal year, and the materials in our panels comply with FDA requirements for skin-contact use. We sell Hooga as a general wellness device, not a medical device. If FDA Class II clearance is required for your use case, PlatinumLED carries it. Establishment listing records are available on request — email contact@hoogahealth.com.

Is Hooga ISO 13485 certified?

Yes — Hooga panels are produced in an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility. ISO 13485 is the international quality management system standard for medical device design, manufacture, and distribution. The certification is issued by BSI (the British Standards Institution) and is valid through May 13, 2027. Full certificate is available on request for legitimate compliance, wholesale, or retail-partner inquiries — email contact@hoogahealth.com.

What is Hooga’s warranty?

3 years from date of purchase, automatic — no registration required. Covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Does not cover drops, misuse, or modification. Contact contact@hoogahealth.com for warranty claims.

What’s the EMF emission?

0.0 μT at 6 inches from the panel face — the recommended treatment distance. This is consistent across our HG, PRO, and ULTRA series.

What wavelengths does Hooga use?

660nm (red) and 850nm (near-infrared) across all panels. The ULTRA series adds 630nm and 810nm for four-wavelength coverage. These match the clinically researched wavelengths used by most major brands.

Are Hooga panel components UL certified?

The LED drivers, power cords, and internal appliance wiring used in PRO series panels are UL certified (file numbers E334687 and E365821-E481559). The finished panel does not currently carry UL or ETL certification.

Does Hooga have FCC, CE, and RoHS certification?

Yes. Hooga panels carry an FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (47 CFR Part 15 Subpart B), CE certification for both the EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) and the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), and RoHS 2.0 conformity certification. All testing was performed by Shenzhen STL Testing Technology, an accredited third-party lab. Downloadable certificates are linked in the compliance table above.

Has Hooga’s irradiance been independently verified?

Yes — Light Therapy Insiders measured the ULTRA 1500 with a spectrometer at 104 mW/cm² peak and 81.7 mW/cm² average at 6″. This was below Hooga’s published figure; we cite both so customers can make informed comparisons.

Who manufactures Hooga panels?

Built by a long-term overseas contract manufacturing partner. The facility is certified to ISO 13485:2016 and is FDA-registered. Designed and headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin, USA.

How does Hooga compare to PlatinumLED and Mito Red on certifications?

PlatinumLED carries FDA Class II registration and ETL certification on the finished panel — Hooga does not. Mito Red has more wavelengths on certain premium models. Hooga competes on a 3-year warranty (matching PlatinumLED, longer than Mito’s standard), 0.0 μT measured EMF, UL-certified components, ISO 13485:2016 facility certification, panel-level FCC/CE/RoHS testing (with downloadable certificates), transparency about what we have and don’t have, and a lower price-per-watt across most SKU comparisons.
