Spec-driven buyers who've researched red light therapy independently, want clinical-grade irradiance at value-tier pricing, and don't need brand-validation premium.
You want the most-validated brand (go Joovv), modular upgrade architecture (go Joovv), or smaller form factor for face-only treatment (go Bon Charge).
