Hooga HG1500 Red Light Therapy Panel: Full-Body 660nm + 850nm Coverage in a Single Panel
The Hooga HG1500 is a full-body red light therapy panel with 300 individual 5W LEDs emitting 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light in a fixed 1:1 ratio. The 35.8"-tall panel covers a 55" x 35" treatment area at 6 inches with 115 mW/cm² irradiance, making it the highest-output panel in Hooga's HG series. Built for daily home use with door-mount and hanging-kit hardware included. 3-year manufacturer warranty plus a 60-day return period through RecovAthlete.
✓ RecovAthlete is an authorized Hooga Health dealer. All HG1500 panels are genuine, sourced through official Hooga channels, with full manufacturer warranty.
Hooga HG1500 Red Light Therapy Panel Overview
The HG1500 sits at the top of Hooga's HG series (the entry-level full-size panel line). 300 LEDs operating at 5W each output 1500W of LED power across two wavelengths. 660nm red light reaches surface tissue and skin. 850nm near-infrared light penetrates deeper into muscle and connective tissue. A 60-degree beam angle spreads the light across a 55" x 35" area at standard treatment distance, large enough for full-body sessions in a single setup.
Power and near-infrared switches let you run red only, NIR only, or both together. 5 internal cooling fans manage heat during longer sessions. Zero EMF emission at 6 inches. 50,000+ hour LED lifespan. The panel ships with everything needed for door-mount setup, including hanging kit with adjustable pulley, door mount, and protective eye goggles.

HG1500 vs HG1000 vs HG300 vs HG200: Choosing Within the HG Series
All HG-series panels use single-chip LEDs with 660nm + 850nm wavelengths. They differ in panel size, LED count, and coverage area.
| Model | LEDs | Best For | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| HG200 | 40 LEDs | Targeted areas (face, joints, single muscle group) | Small / targeted |
| HG300 | 60 LEDs | Compact areas, desktop or travel use | Compact |
| HG500 | Mid-tier | Upper back, shoulders, or legs in single session | Mid-size |
| HG1000 | 200 LEDs (95+ mW/cm²) | Upper-body and partial full-body | Medium-large |
| HG1500 (this product) | 300 LEDs (115 mW/cm²) | True full-body home sessions | 55" x 35" |
The HG1500 is the largest and highest-output panel in the HG series. If you want true full-body coverage in a single panel from Hooga's entry-level line, the HG1500 is the right pick. For smaller targeted treatments, step down to the HG500, HG300, or HG200.
HG1500 Wavelengths: 660nm + 850nm
The HG1500 emits two wavelengths in a 1:1 ratio across 300 LEDs. Each wavelength targets different tissue depths and use cases.
| Wavelength | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 660nm | Red light (visible) | Skin, surface tissue, collagen support |
| 850nm | Near-infrared (invisible) | Muscles, joints, deeper tissue support |
| Both combined | Red + NIR | Full-body recovery and wellness routines |
Red light at 660nm is absorbed primarily in the skin and surface tissues. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible to the eye but penetrates more deeply, reaching muscle and connective tissue. Independent power switches let you run either wavelength alone or both together depending on your session goal.
What Does 115 mW/cm² at 6 Inches Mean?
Irradiance measures how much light energy reaches your skin per unit area. The HG1500 delivers:
- 100+ mW/cm² at the surface. The highest intensity when standing close to the panel face.
- 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. The standard measurement distance for red light therapy panels.
- Lower irradiance at 12 to 18 inches. Light spreads across a wider area, reducing intensity per square inch.
What this means for sessions:
- At 6 inches, you get the strongest dose per minute. Use for focused, shorter sessions.
- At 12 to 18 inches, the panel covers more body area at lower per-square-inch intensity. Use for full-body sessions at longer session times.
- Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
- More time is not always better. Red light therapy follows a biphasic dose response. Past a threshold, additional time reduces benefit.
🕐 How to Use the Hooga HG1500
- Mount the panel on a door using the included door mount, or on a wall using the hanging kit with adjustable pulley. Make sure mounting hardware can support 33 lbs.
- Stand or sit 6 to 18 inches from the panel face. Closer for shorter, higher-intensity sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions.
- Wear the included protective goggles. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible but still delivers energy that can reach the retina.
- Choose your wavelength. Switch on red only, near-infrared only, or both together depending on your goal.
- Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build tolerance.
- Increase session length to 10 to 15 minutes once you've established a baseline.
- Treat front and back separately for full-body coverage. Turn around to treat the opposite side after the first session ends.
- Daily use is fine. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week.

HG1500 vs HG1000 vs HG300 vs HG200: Choosing Within the HG Series
All HG-series panels use single-chip LEDs with 660nm + 850nm wavelengths. They differ in panel size, LED count, and coverage area.
| Model | LEDs | Best For | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| HG200 | 40 LEDs | Targeted areas (face, joints, single muscle group) | Small / targeted |
| HG300 | 60 LEDs | Compact areas, desktop or travel use | Compact |
| HG500 | Mid-tier | Upper back, shoulders, or legs in single session | Mid-size |
| HG1000 | 200 LEDs (95+ mW/cm²) | Upper-body and partial full-body | Medium-large |
| HG1500 (this product) | 300 LEDs (115 mW/cm²) | True full-body home sessions | 55" x 35" |
The HG1500 is the largest and highest-output panel in the HG series. If you want true full-body coverage in a single panel from Hooga's entry-level line, the HG1500 is the right pick. For smaller targeted treatments, step down to the HG500, HG300, or HG200.
HG1500 Wavelengths: 660nm + 850nm
The HG1500 emits two wavelengths in a 1:1 ratio across 300 LEDs. Each wavelength targets different tissue depths and use cases.
| Wavelength | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 660nm | Red light (visible) | Skin, surface tissue, collagen support |
| 850nm | Near-infrared (invisible) | Muscles, joints, deeper tissue support |
| Both combined | Red + NIR | Full-body recovery and wellness routines |
Red light at 660nm is absorbed primarily in the skin and surface tissues. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible to the eye but penetrates more deeply, reaching muscle and connective tissue. Independent power switches let you run either wavelength alone or both together depending on your session goal.
What Does 115 mW/cm² at 6 Inches Mean?
Irradiance measures how much light energy reaches your skin per unit area. The HG1500 delivers:
- 100+ mW/cm² at the surface. The highest intensity when standing close to the panel face.
- 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. The standard measurement distance for red light therapy panels.
- Lower irradiance at 12 to 18 inches. Light spreads across a wider area, reducing intensity per square inch.
What this means for sessions:
- At 6 inches, you get the strongest dose per minute. Use for focused, shorter sessions.
- At 12 to 18 inches, the panel covers more body area at lower per-square-inch intensity. Use for full-body sessions at longer session times.
- Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
- More time is not always better. Red light therapy follows a biphasic dose response. Past a threshold, additional time reduces benefit.
🕐 How to Use the Hooga HG1500
- Mount the panel on a door using the included door mount, or on a wall using the hanging kit with adjustable pulley. Make sure mounting hardware can support 33 lbs.
- Stand or sit 6 to 18 inches from the panel face. Closer for shorter, higher-intensity sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions.
- Wear the included protective goggles. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible but still delivers energy that can reach the retina.
- Choose your wavelength. Switch on red only, near-infrared only, or both together depending on your goal.
- Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build tolerance.
- Increase session length to 10 to 15 minutes once you've established a baseline.
- Treat front and back separately for full-body coverage. Turn around to treat the opposite side after the first session ends.
- Daily use is fine. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week.

The HG1500 emits two wavelengths in a 1:1 ratio across 300 LEDs. Each wavelength targets different tissue depths and use cases.
| Wavelength | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 660nm | Red light (visible) | Skin, surface tissue, collagen support |
| 850nm | Near-infrared (invisible) | Muscles, joints, deeper tissue support |
| Both combined | Red + NIR | Full-body recovery and wellness routines |
Red light at 660nm is absorbed primarily in the skin and surface tissues. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible to the eye but penetrates more deeply, reaching muscle and connective tissue. Independent power switches let you run either wavelength alone or both together depending on your session goal.
What Does 115 mW/cm² at 6 Inches Mean?
Irradiance measures how much light energy reaches your skin per unit area. The HG1500 delivers:
- 100+ mW/cm² at the surface. The highest intensity when standing close to the panel face.
- 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. The standard measurement distance for red light therapy panels.
- Lower irradiance at 12 to 18 inches. Light spreads across a wider area, reducing intensity per square inch.
What this means for sessions:
- At 6 inches, you get the strongest dose per minute. Use for focused, shorter sessions.
- At 12 to 18 inches, the panel covers more body area at lower per-square-inch intensity. Use for full-body sessions at longer session times.
- Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
- More time is not always better. Red light therapy follows a biphasic dose response. Past a threshold, additional time reduces benefit.

- Stand or sit 6 to 18 inches from the panel face. Closer for shorter, higher-intensity sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions.
- Wear the included protective goggles. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible but still delivers energy that can reach the retina.
- Choose your wavelength. Switch on red only, near-infrared only, or both together depending on your goal.
- Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build tolerance.
- Increase session length to 10 to 15 minutes once you've established a baseline.
- Treat front and back separately for full-body coverage. Turn around to treat the opposite side after the first session ends.
- Daily use is fine. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product BasicsWhat is the Hooga HG1500 red light therapy panel?
The HG1500 is a full-body red and near-infrared light therapy panel with 300 individual 5W LEDs. It emits 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light in a fixed 1:1 ratio at 115 mW/cm² irradiance at 6 inches. The panel measures 35.8" x 11" x 2.75" and weighs 33 lbs. It's the largest and highest-output panel in Hooga's HG series, designed for home full-body sessions.
What wavelengths does the HG1500 use?
660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light, in a fixed 1:1 LED ratio. Each LED emits one of the two wavelengths. Independent power switches let you run red only, NIR only, or both together. 660nm targets skin and surface tissue. 850nm reaches deeper muscle and connective tissue.
What is HG1500 irradiance at 6 inches?
115 mW/cm² at 6 inches from the panel face. At the surface (closer than 6 inches), irradiance reaches 100+ mW/cm². Lower at 12 to 18 inches where the light spreads across wider area. 115 mW/cm² is the highest irradiance in Hooga's HG series.
How many LEDs does the HG1500 have?
300 single-chip LEDs at 5W each, for a total of 1500W of LED power. Half emit 660nm red, half emit 850nm near-infrared. Each LED is a single-chip design (one wavelength per LED), versus dual-chip (PRO series) or quad-chip (ULTRA series).
What is the Hooga HG1500 price?
Pricing varies based on promotions and current financing offers. The HG1500 sits at the most affordable tier of full-body Hooga panels. RecovAthlete offers free US shipping, 0% Affirm financing, and a 60-day return period. Call 866-861-6317 for current HG1500 pricing.
Is financing available?
Yes. 0% Affirm financing is available on qualifying purchases at checkout. Monthly payment plans. View all financing options.
Is the HG1500 eligible for HSA or FSA?
Hooga Health red light therapy panels are generally eligible for HSA and FSA funds. Contact us at 866-861-6317 to confirm current eligibility and processing options for your situation.
Is HG1500 good for full-body red light therapy?
Yes. The 35.8"-tall panel covers a 55" x 35" treatment area at recommended distance, large enough for full-body sessions in one setup. 300 LEDs deliver 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. Most users treat the front of the body in one session, then turn around to treat the back.
What is the difference between HG1500 and ULTRA1500?
The HG1500 uses 300 single-chip LEDs with 2 wavelengths (660nm + 850nm) and on/off power switches. The ULTRA1500 uses 300 quad-chip LEDs with 4 wavelengths (630nm, 660nm, 810nm, 850nm), touchscreen control, brightness adjustment (1-100%), pulse mode, and panel sync. The ULTRA1500 also delivers higher irradiance (165 mW/cm² at 6"). Choose HG1500 for value. Choose ULTRA1500 for full feature set and wavelength control.
What is the difference between HG1500 and HG1000?
The HG1500 has 300 LEDs and 115 mW/cm² irradiance at 6 inches. The HG1000 has 200 LEDs and 95+ mW/cm² irradiance. Same 660nm + 850nm wavelengths on both. Same 3-year warranty. The HG1500 is larger and delivers higher dose per minute. The HG1000 is more compact and at a lower entry price.
Does HG1500 come with a door mount?
Yes. The HG1500 ships with a door mount and a hanging kit with adjustable pulley. You can door-mount the panel directly or wall-mount it using the hanging kit. The 33 lb panel requires solid mounting hardware.
Does the HG1500 include goggles?
Yes. One pair of protective eye goggles ships with the panel. Wear during all sessions to protect against direct LED exposure.
How far should I stand from HG1500?
6 to 18 inches. Closer for higher-intensity, shorter sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions. Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
How long should I use HG1500?
2 to 15 minutes per session depending on distance and goals. Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build up gradually. Skin and surface treatments need less time. Deeper tissue work benefits from longer sessions. The panel auto-runs as long as it's powered. Use a timer to enforce session length.
Is HG1500 safe for daily use?
Yes. The HG1500 is designed for daily home use. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week. Wear the included protective goggles. Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, taking photosensitizing medications, or have a history of photosensitive conditions.

Financing Questions
What are Affirm's rates?
Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four interest-free payments charged every two weeks. Monthly installments spread the cost over a longer term, with rates from 0% to 36% APR depending on your credit profile. You see the exact terms before you agree to anything. No origination fees, no prepayment penalty, no late fees.
Will applying hurt my credit score?
Prequalification does not. Affirm and Acorn Finance both run a soft check to show you offers, which has no impact on your score. Proceeding with a monthly installment plan or a business loan may involve a hard inquiry. That is why it pays to prequalify with more than one lender first and only proceed with the best offer.
Can I finance equipment for a business?
Yes, and for most business buyers it is the better route. Brickhouse funds up to $250,000 on a one-page application with no financial statements. Reliant approves in 2 to 4 hours. Business financing is usually tied to the business rather than your personal credit report, and financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm the tax position with your accountant.
Should I finance each machine separately?
No. This is the most common and most expensive mistake. Separate applications mean separate hard inquiries, separate payments, and a worse rate on each, because every individual ticket is small. Get one quote from RecovAthlete covering everything you are buying, including freight, and put that single number on one application.
Does Section 179 apply to financed equipment?
Financed equipment can qualify. Section 179 lets US businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, and financing the purchase does not by itself disqualify it. The equipment must be in service, not merely ordered, within the tax year. Annual limits and eligibility rules are set by the IRS and change year to year, so consult your accountant.
Can freight and installation be financed?
Freight, yes. On Affirm it is part of the order total at checkout. On business financing, put freight on the RecovAthlete quote and the whole quote amount goes on the application. Installation and room construction are harder, because some equipment lenders will not fund non-equipment costs. Ask the lender before you sign.
Can I pay off early?
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Not sure which option fits?
Tell us what you are buying and whether it is personal or for a business. We will point you at the right two lenders and quote freight and install as one number, which is also the number that goes on the application.

| Panel Sync | No | Yes (wireless multi-panel sync) |
| Best For | Buyers wanting reliable 2-wavelength therapy at value pricing | Advanced users wanting 4 wavelengths and full control |
| Price Tier | Most affordable full-body Hooga panel | Premium tier |
Choose the HG1500 if you want a reliable full-body panel with the standard 660nm + 850nm wavelengths and don't need brightness control or pulse mode. Choose the ULTRA1500 if you want 4 wavelengths, touchscreen control, and the ability to sync multiple panels into a larger setup later.
HG1500 vs HG1000 vs HG300 vs HG200: Choosing Within the HG Series
All HG-series panels use single-chip LEDs with 660nm + 850nm wavelengths. They differ in panel size, LED count, and coverage area.
| Model | LEDs | Best For | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| HG200 | 40 LEDs | Targeted areas (face, joints, single muscle group) | Small / targeted |
| HG300 | 60 LEDs | Compact areas, desktop or travel use | Compact |
| HG500 | Mid-tier | Upper back, shoulders, or legs in single session | Mid-size |
| HG1000 | 200 LEDs (95+ mW/cm²) | Upper-body and partial full-body | Medium-large |
| HG1500 (this product) | 300 LEDs (115 mW/cm²) | True full-body home sessions | 55" x 35" |
The HG1500 is the largest and highest-output panel in the HG series. If you want true full-body coverage in a single panel from Hooga's entry-level line, the HG1500 is the right pick. For smaller targeted treatments, step down to the HG500, HG300, or HG200.
HG1500 Wavelengths: 660nm + 850nm
The HG1500 emits two wavelengths in a 1:1 ratio across 300 LEDs. Each wavelength targets different tissue depths and use cases.
| Wavelength | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 660nm | Red light (visible) | Skin, surface tissue, collagen support |
| 850nm | Near-infrared (invisible) | Muscles, joints, deeper tissue support |
| Both combined | Red + NIR | Full-body recovery and wellness routines |
Red light at 660nm is absorbed primarily in the skin and surface tissues. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible to the eye but penetrates more deeply, reaching muscle and connective tissue. Independent power switches let you run either wavelength alone or both together depending on your session goal.
What Does 115 mW/cm² at 6 Inches Mean?
Irradiance measures how much light energy reaches your skin per unit area. The HG1500 delivers:
- 100+ mW/cm² at the surface. The highest intensity when standing close to the panel face.
- 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. The standard measurement distance for red light therapy panels.
- Lower irradiance at 12 to 18 inches. Light spreads across a wider area, reducing intensity per square inch.
What this means for sessions:
- At 6 inches, you get the strongest dose per minute. Use for focused, shorter sessions.
- At 12 to 18 inches, the panel covers more body area at lower per-square-inch intensity. Use for full-body sessions at longer session times.
- Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
- More time is not always better. Red light therapy follows a biphasic dose response. Past a threshold, additional time reduces benefit.
🕐 How to Use the Hooga HG1500
- Mount the panel on a door using the included door mount, or on a wall using the hanging kit with adjustable pulley. Make sure mounting hardware can support 33 lbs.
- Stand or sit 6 to 18 inches from the panel face. Closer for shorter, higher-intensity sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions.
- Wear the included protective goggles. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible but still delivers energy that can reach the retina.
- Choose your wavelength. Switch on red only, near-infrared only, or both together depending on your goal.
- Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build tolerance.
- Increase session length to 10 to 15 minutes once you've established a baseline.
- Treat front and back separately for full-body coverage. Turn around to treat the opposite side after the first session ends.
- Daily use is fine. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week.

HG1500 vs HG1000 vs HG300 vs HG200: Choosing Within the HG Series
All HG-series panels use single-chip LEDs with 660nm + 850nm wavelengths. They differ in panel size, LED count, and coverage area.
| Model | LEDs | Best For | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| HG200 | 40 LEDs | Targeted areas (face, joints, single muscle group) | Small / targeted |
| HG300 | 60 LEDs | Compact areas, desktop or travel use | Compact |
| HG500 | Mid-tier | Upper back, shoulders, or legs in single session | Mid-size |
| HG1000 | 200 LEDs (95+ mW/cm²) | Upper-body and partial full-body | Medium-large |
| HG1500 (this product) | 300 LEDs (115 mW/cm²) | True full-body home sessions | 55" x 35" |
The HG1500 is the largest and highest-output panel in the HG series. If you want true full-body coverage in a single panel from Hooga's entry-level line, the HG1500 is the right pick. For smaller targeted treatments, step down to the HG500, HG300, or HG200.
HG1500 Wavelengths: 660nm + 850nm
The HG1500 emits two wavelengths in a 1:1 ratio across 300 LEDs. Each wavelength targets different tissue depths and use cases.
| Wavelength | Type | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 660nm | Red light (visible) | Skin, surface tissue, collagen support |
| 850nm | Near-infrared (invisible) | Muscles, joints, deeper tissue support |
| Both combined | Red + NIR | Full-body recovery and wellness routines |
Red light at 660nm is absorbed primarily in the skin and surface tissues. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible to the eye but penetrates more deeply, reaching muscle and connective tissue. Independent power switches let you run either wavelength alone or both together depending on your session goal.
What Does 115 mW/cm² at 6 Inches Mean?
Irradiance measures how much light energy reaches your skin per unit area. The HG1500 delivers:
- 100+ mW/cm² at the surface. The highest intensity when standing close to the panel face.
- 115 mW/cm² at 6 inches. The standard measurement distance for red light therapy panels.
- Lower irradiance at 12 to 18 inches. Light spreads across a wider area, reducing intensity per square inch.
What this means for sessions:
- At 6 inches, you get the strongest dose per minute. Use for focused, shorter sessions.
- At 12 to 18 inches, the panel covers more body area at lower per-square-inch intensity. Use for full-body sessions at longer session times.
- Session time scales with distance. Closer means stronger exposure per minute. Farther means lower exposure per minute and longer sessions for similar total dose.
- More time is not always better. Red light therapy follows a biphasic dose response. Past a threshold, additional time reduces benefit.
🕐 How to Use the Hooga HG1500
- Mount the panel on a door using the included door mount, or on a wall using the hanging kit with adjustable pulley. Make sure mounting hardware can support 33 lbs.
- Stand or sit 6 to 18 inches from the panel face. Closer for shorter, higher-intensity sessions. Farther for wider coverage at longer sessions.
- Wear the included protective goggles. Near-infrared at 850nm is invisible but still delivers energy that can reach the retina.
- Choose your wavelength. Switch on red only, near-infrared only, or both together depending on your goal.
- Start with shorter sessions (2 to 5 minutes) and build tolerance.
- Increase session length to 10 to 15 minutes once you've established a baseline.
- Treat front and back separately for full-body coverage. Turn around to treat the opposite side after the first session ends.
- Daily use is fine. Most users see best results from consistent 3 to 7 sessions per week.
