HG500
The HG500 is Hooga's half-body red light therapy panel — a mid-sized device designed to cover the torso, back, or a large section of the body in a single session. It delivers 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared wavelengths through 100 × 5W LEDs , producing an irradiance of 94 mW/cm² at 6 inches. At 500W with an 18.9" × 8.2" footprint, the HG500 is a common choice for people upgrading from a tabletop panel to something that covers more of the body per session. It ships with a door mount and hanging kit with adjustable pulley , and has red / near-infrared power switches for red-only, NIR-only, or combined sessions. Who the HG500 Is For The HG500 is a good fit if you want half-body coverage without the price step up to the PRO or ULTRA line. It gives you the same core red-light and near-infrared wavelengths as every Hooga panel. If you want higher irradiance per session, look at the PRO750 ; for full-body coverage in the same HG line, see the HG1000 or HG1500 . Download the Hooga HG Series user manual (PDF) Backed by a 3-year warranty and easy 60-day returns, the HG500 is a straightforward step up from tabletop red light therapy.

Capability score
31.6 / 100
How much this panel does: coverage area, light output and the warranty behind it. It is not a quality grade. A targeted panel scores lower because it covers less, not because it is built worse.
| Criterion | Weight | This product |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 43% | 0 / 100 |
| Irradiance (manufacturer reported) | 14% | 14 / 100 |
| LED count | 14% | 7 / 100 |
| Warranty (capped at 5) | 21% | 100 / 100 |
| Return window | 7% | 100 / 100 |
Each criterion is scaled across every product in this category, so 100 means the highest figure we hold and 0 the lowest. A value we do not hold, or hold only as placeholder data, scores zero rather than being guessed.
