Short answer
The five systems solve different problems. The RedWave bed delivers full-body red light with over 4,400 LEDs in 10–20 minutes and maximizes throughput. The HaloCab combines five modules in one cabin and is the strongest signature experience. The HaloRed® salt and red light booth offers multi-person versions for up to three people. Lumivera is the modular photobiomodulation system that grows with you. Consumer panels suit home use, rarely a business.

The five systems at a glance
| Criterion | RedWave | HaloCab | HaloRed® | Lumivera | Consumer panel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Principle | full-body bed | 5-in-1 cabin | salt + light, booth | modular PBM panels | small wall panel |
| Light | over 4,400 LEDs, red + NIR | 480–1060 nm | 630–660 nm + NIR, 4 sides | 9 wavelengths, 480–1060 nm | usually few wavelengths |
| Other stimuli | none | salt, oxygen, frequencies, aroma | salt | none | none |
| Session | approx. 10–20 min | presets approx. 10 min | approx. 10–20 min | protocol-dependent | long per region |
| People per session | 1 | 1 | 1–3 by size | 1 | 1 |
| Staff effort | low | low | low | low to medium | low |
| Role in the offer | frequency anchor | signature experience | experience + multi-person | expandable module | home use |
All technical data comes from manufacturer documentation. Session lengths are guidelines and depend on the program.
RedWave: when throughput counts
The RedWave is a full-body system with over 4,400 LEDs combining red and near-infrared light that covers the whole body in one pass. It has quiet cooling, won the German Design Award and fits wherever many short sessions need to be sold: gyms, centers, spas. It isn’t an experience cabin but a reliable frequency anchor. Details in the red light therapy operator check.
HaloCab: when the experience sells
The HaloCab combines salt inhalation, red and near-infrared light, ionized oxygen, frequencies and aroma. Six voice-guided presets of around 10 minutes make it easy to understand, and custom signature programs can be saved. Its strength is recognition on little space, not maximum throughput. More in the HaloCab operator check.
HaloRed®: when several people book at once
The HaloRed® Vitality Booth combines salt and red light from four sides and comes in three sizes for one, two or up to three people. The Large version can be combined with a cardio machine. Automatic UV disinfection and no need for external ventilation simplify operations. More in the salt and red light therapy operator check.
Lumivera: when you want to start small and grow
Lumivera is a modular photobiomodulation system with nine wavelengths from 480 to 1060 nm, dual-chip LEDs and over 1,400 W/m². From a single panel for local applications to a full-body configuration, the system grows with you. Especially suited to practices that combine PBM with existing treatments. More in the photobiomodulation operator check.
Consumer panels: when they are enough
Small panels cover only one body region, lengthen sessions and rarely look premium in a business. They can be enough for home use but hardly carry a business model. Background in Red Light: Professional vs. Consumer Panels.
Which system fits which facility?
| Facility type | First choice | Good addition | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gym | RedWave | HaloRed® Large | post-workout throughput, multi-person for groups |
| Longevity center | HaloCab | Lumivera | signature experience plus program-ready PBM |
| Hotel & spa | HaloCab | HaloRed® Medium | recognition, couples application |
| Beauty salon | HaloRed® Small | Lumivera | skin-focused series, flexible on the bed |
| Practice / physio | Lumivera | RedWave | combined with treatments, later full body |
| Private | Lumivera panel or HaloCab | – | depending on budget and routine |
Example: capacity per hour
Simplified illustration based on assumptions including changeover time, not a statement about revenue or prices.
| System | Session incl. changeover | People per session | Possible people per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| RedWave | approx. 30 min | 1 | 2 |
| HaloCab | approx. 20 min | 1 | 3 |
| HaloRed® Large | approx. 30 min | up to 3 | up to 6 |
| Lumivera (local) | approx. 20–30 min | 1 | 2–3 |
| Consumer panel (full body in stages) | 60 min or more | 1 | less than 1 |
The calculation shows why the choice depends on the revenue model. If you sell frequency, you need throughput. If you sell an experience, you need recognition. If you target groups or couples, you need multi-person capacity. How to derive break-even from this is shown in The Utilization Trap.
HF Concepts Check: how we rate the five systems in a longevity center
In the HF Concepts Check, we score nine criteria from 1 to 5. Here we compare the five systems for the same facility type, a longevity center. Select the system you are interested in within the scorecard.
Our assessment after reviewing the technology, based on typical facilities of each type. No guarantee for any individual case.
RedWave (38): highest throughput per person and easy delegation, but little differentiation.
HaloCab (38): the same score for different reasons: strongest experience and highest differentiation, lower throughput.
Lumivera (37): program-ready and modular, ideal for growing with demand.
HaloRed® (34): an experience with salt and a multi-person option, less program-ready in a center.
Consumer panel (21): cheap, but without perceived value or revenue in business.
Common mistakes we see in projects
- Deciding by color and design: capacity and revenue model matter more than looks.
- Confusing experience with frequency: a signature cabin doesn’t replace a throughput bed, and vice versa.
- Consumer technology in business: cheap panels cost time and perceived value in daily operation.
- Copying manufacturer claims: for all five systems, communicate experience and technology, not medical effects.
Conclusion
There is no single best light system, only the one that fits your business model. RedWave is the frequency anchor, HaloCab the signature experience, HaloRed® the multi-person solution with salt, Lumivera the modular entry into photobiomodulation and the consumer panel a home device. Decide by throughput, experience, space and revenue model, and test the systems in the showroom first.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HaloCab and RedWave?
The RedWave is a full-body red light bed with over 4,400 LEDs for short, high-throughput sessions. The HaloCab is a cabin that combines red light with salt, ionized oxygen, frequencies and aroma and works mainly as an experience.
Which is better: salt and red light booth or HaloCab?
The HaloRed® focuses on salt and red light and offers multi-person sizes for up to three people. The HaloCab combines five modules with presets for one person. The choice depends on whether you want to serve several guests at once or sell an individual experience.
What sets Lumivera apart from a red light panel?
Lumivera is a professional, modular photobiomodulation system with nine wavelengths and high irradiance. Consumer panels usually use few wavelengths on a small area.
Which light system has the highest throughput?
Per person, the RedWave bed; per session, the HaloRed® Large with up to three people at once.
Can I test the systems beforehand?
Yes, many systems can be experienced and compared live in the HF Concepts showroom in Berlin.
