Rank #6 in Best Red Light Therapy Panels 2026: 10 Ranked, Specs Fact-Checked
HELIOS 2 Series 300W Targeted Red & NIR Panel
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HELIOS 2 Series is a 300W red and near-infrared panel at £199.99, and it sits at number 6 in this guide. It is rated 4.3 out of 5 from 91 reviews, and the histogram behind that average leans hard in one direction: 70 five-star ratings against 6 one-star. The finding on this listing is the warranty. One bullet states "5 Year Warranty included", while the Product Warranty field further down the same page says "Manufacturer warranty 3 years from date of purchase". Both cannot be right, and nothing on the page resolves which one applies.
Unlike several panels in this guide, the HELIOS 2's LED arithmetic does hold together: 60 LEDs at 5W each is the 300W the title claims, and a 50:50 split fits a bullet that names only two wavelengths, 660nm and 850nm. The device measures 31 x 21 x 7 cm and weighs 3 kg. Everything on this page is taken from the HELIOS 2's Amazon listing — we have not handled, measured or tested the panel, so every figure here is the seller's claim rather than our result.
How those 91 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've had this Helios Red Light Therapy Device for a few months now. Before buying it I researched Deep Red Light and Near Infrared Light benefits for quite some time, before then researching various models. I wanted a compact smaller panel, at least to begin with (This Panel comes with a power cable, but also another cable which can connect to other Helios Devices in case you want to upgrade your setup).I settled on this particular model as for its price range and size it is virtually the best one available in the UK. It is made to Medical Grade standard and you can really see the quality of it is exceptional. It also has a huge amount of positive feedback,I didn't want to review it too early on as I wanted to see/feel it's benefits first hand.It can be used with the fitted stand, or the door hanger and pulley system. I tend to use it both ways. The fitted stand is admittedly quite stiff, but I think that is a good thing. If I use the pulley system when I'm using it, I fold the stand against the device as it was when it arrived in the box, it doesn't appear possible to remove the stand but maybe you can?! Either way, it doesn't bother me too much!When using it you can feel the warmth on your skin like the Sun (The device doesn't even get hot to the touch after I've used it for twenty minutes!)The ideal range is between six to eighteen inches from the device. Goggles are provided if you prefer to use them, but they are black out goggles. I tend not to use them anymore, I just don't look directly at the red light. Although apparently red light can be beneficial to eye sight, I just wouldn't recommend looking directly at the light.It has been EMF tested to emit negligible amounts of EMF's, which is good to know. It is also quieter than I expected it be considering the cooling fans fitted.I was using the device daily but with the recent sunny weather in the UK I decided it probably wasn't necessary as I will have had enough natural light from the sun and will resume using it daily again when it ends.I think these devices are definitely beneficial for anyone. Thousands of medical studies Worldwide have been conducted into the subject, and seems to suggest that there is little to no risk but tonnes of potential benefits.Within a couple of weeks of using it, a few people at work remarked on how good my skin looked, before I even told them I was using a Red Light Device.(Red Light can help to rebuild Collagen, which declines as we age).I also had a painful elbow for about a year, which has now completely disappeared. It seems to have also reduced the small amount of belly fat I have, making it look more toned. I think this is because the Red Light/Near Infrared Light stimulates the Mitochondria and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in your body which regulates the energy of your body's cells.I've probably forgotten to include something, but I hope this helps anyone considering buying this device. Honestly it is an amazing device for a very good price!!”
Verified purchase“Good solid build with enough hanging or standing options to put it just about anywhere. I have it mounted in the kitchen where I spend a lot of my time cooking, and now cooking whilst bathing in a warm red glow.My mood feels 'lighter' after just a few days use. I've no doubt more benefits will develop over time.”

Questions people ask
How many LEDs does the HELIOS 2 have?
The bullet says 60 x 5W high power LEDs, which is where the 300W headline comes from. The same bullet says the 660nm and 850nm LEDs are split 50:50 between the two wavelengths.
What warranty comes with the HELIOS 2?
The listing gives two different answers. The bullet says "5 Year Warranty included"; the Product Warranty field says "Manufacturer warranty 3 years from date of purchase". It is worth confirming in writing before you buy.
What size and weight is the HELIOS 2?
The listing gives product dimensions of 31 x 21 x 7 cm and an item weight of 3 kg.
Is the HELIOS 2 dimmable?
The listing does not say. There is no brightness or dimming control mentioned in the bullets or in any of the specification fields, so the page does not confirm one way or the other.
What does the HELIOS 2 claim to be used for?
The recommended uses field lists skin rejuvenation, skin discomfort, muscle, tendon and bone pain, hair and scalp health and regrowth, and general energy and wellness. The bullets add post-workout recovery.
Where is the HELIOS 2 made?
The Country Of Origin field lists China. One bullet describes the brand as a "UK Company" with "5 Years Trading". The listing does not reconcile the two, and no manufacturing location is given in the bullets.
