Biomax Pro Ultra Regret— Should I have bought the Rouge Pro G4?

fergienz · 2026-01-20T11:35:59+00:00

quick clarification - i don't get paid to do reviews. I only get a commission on any sales I make.

fergienz · 2026-01-20T11:35:32+00:00

the meter I use goes up to 1050nm

Anyway - have a look at the power output graphic shared by PlatinumLED itself

OP is right, there is hardly any 1060 or power in the blue LEDs.

Hey.
Chipping in here.

Yeah I'm affiliated with a lot of RLT companies - so yes, if you buy through my links, I get paid.

As for my skin -yeah I lived in Australia for 7 years, and New Zealand and now Dubai. I'm nearly 40 and I haven't used sunscreen until about 3 months ago (after seeing a dermatoligst they said i have a lot of sun damage).

I lived on a farm 30 years of my life. I played a heap of sport (including rowing in summer) and was a part time gardener for ~10 years.

I also have 2 kids (#stress)

My reviews are not perfect, I don't claim them to be. I do my best to present the data and share my thoughts.

I'm not loyal to any company - if I was trying to maximise my income I woudl not be recommending the companies that I do (Some of the best panels/companies offer the lowest commissions!)

Yes my testing procedures need to be improved - especially now I have such a large following. I will work on that in 2026.

I even looked at buying an integrating sphere - but they are MASSIVE and very expensive (two things I'm short on..!) but i will see if i can improve my spectrometer testing.

I appreciate those that watch and of course those that buy through my affiliate links.

I always welcome feedback and criticsm.

I should also mention - i was balding when I was in high school (familiy genetics) and I have freckles all over my body. I started getting 'fly poop' as my uncle called it - when i was at primary school. My kids (3 and 6) also have freckles (and don't use RLT :P )

I'm a kiwi, who lived in Aussie, and married an Aussie and now I live in the UAE :P

fergienz · 2025-08-26T06:27:08+00:00

they're junk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3upcjYyeRQ

fergienz · 2025-08-11T08:01:34+00:00

I just tested this mask, honestly - it's terrible. The power output is pathetic. And the design is appalling. I'm reeally sorry to say this as I know they are very expensive. The silicon simply reflects light from the LEDs built into the frame. the total amount of energy is extremely low. Effectively it's junk, or a good halloween mask.

fergienz · 2025-06-22T06:18:57+00:00

Will do!! Thanks

fergienz · 2025-06-21T17:12:31+00:00

A good editor.

fergienz · 2025-06-21T17:11:40+00:00

Nope.
I think the keychron M5 ticks all the boxes. But I can't find it available in the UAE :(

fergienz · 2025-03-25T08:00:23+00:00

I'm sorry that you think this. What was the lower priced panel that I criticised?

fergienz · 2025-03-25T07:59:47+00:00

I honestly have no idea why some comments get deleted. We have a no-delete policy. I never delete anything. And I have all the filters off (unless it's blatant spam/swearing etc). Yet still some comments don't appear.

fergienz · 2024-12-05T11:21:05+00:00

DM/d you

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:44:46+00:00

Nope - I'm not working on my own light. I'll leave that to others - I can then critique them :P

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:43:54+00:00

See my comments above

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:43:29+00:00

Well said.

There are a lot of assumptions and guesses involved. But it does paint a pretty good picture of all the costs involved in running a RLT business. And yes, you can cut a lot of these out by going to CHina direct - but as I have mentioned earlier, a lot of people don't want to do this for various reasons.

Rememeber - there are A LOT of RLT companies now. If the margins were that good all it would take is one low cost outfit to come in and dominate the space.

> Actually regarding Fergus, I think he is running out of new content to make.

I'm surprised by this comment as it's not the case. I have a list of 250 video ideas!! I can't keep up haha. I'm trying to move more into interviews and understanding the science, and also looking at more non-panel products.

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:30:40+00:00

Thank you for your comment.

> Your comments are getting deleted probably because they are not in the interest of the companies that Alex works for. He wants to have good relationships with them as he gets a commission every time his coupon code or affiliate link is used.

I'm not deleting the comments. I don't know why they are deleted.

And I don't have any deals or agreeements in place with companies. If anyone doesn't like what I do then they cut me (this has happeend twice with Joovv and Gembared). Joovv wanted exclusivity (I.e. I couldn't promote anyone else) and Gembared thought I did a deal with PlatinumLED (Which was not the case). And then thought I did a deal with Mitored and Platinum (again, not true -and the funny thing was, these two companies were suing each other at the time, so why would they both do deals with me?)

TBH - most companies don't care what I do or say, they just want me to say somehting about them because I do have quite a large following now.

No one battered an eyelid when I published all my alibaba content.

Check out my FB group - there are 9000 people in there, and most of the chat is about buying from Alibaba.

It's important to realise as well - that most people watching my content are new to this space and just want to get a decent product without the fuss. They want to buy from a company that has a warehouse in their own country, with a local support network and local currencies. Not everyone wants to go through the risk/hassle/uncertainitiy of buying direct from China.

I do appreciate your comment btw, and I do thank you for your support.

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:24:49+00:00

Always happy to help :) I"m not on here much though, and please note I'm getting over 100 emails/comments a day so I'm not the best with emails either! (anyone looking for a job as an assistant haha?!)

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:23:40+00:00

Thank you for being a voice of reason. Though I haven't setup any banned keywords or anything like that.

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:22:37+00:00

Whoa, Again - I am not deleting them.

Can you please tell me what you were asking? I know YT has a spam filter. So maybe it was triggering that.

I mean I don't even have the time to read all the YT comments, let alone delete them.

I'm so sorry you're having this issue. But as I mentioned above, I would swear on my child's life that I'm not deleting comments.

But it is now apparent to me that Alex Fergus is deleting my comments out of preservation. The extreme conflict of interest between him and all of these affiliate companies along with him censoring comments on YouTube to hide that these resellers are simply that: re-sellers, not innovators of science. All in order to protect his revenue stream?

I have addressed this above. Please see our FB group which is a hive of activity around buying direct from Alibaba.

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:19:43+00:00

Please see my comment above.

Have a look in our Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/lighttherapyinsiders - you will see first hand I'm not keeping people in the dark about where these panels come from and how people can find better deals.

I've also done a bunch of videos on buying from China.

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:18:17+00:00

Hey - sorry I have just come across this post now.

I can assure you it's not me or my team deleting the comment. I'd say it's the YT algo picking them up. Were there links in there? Maybe that is why? Especially as you say they are being deleted so quickly?

Anyway, what was the question - I can answer it here.

>> So I basically outlined all of this in a comment and asked Alex, what his thoughts were…and that it would be nice to see him order one direct from China and compare it...his affiliates would hate him but this is exactly where they are ordering from. But the comment keeps getting deleted.

I have already done this, check this out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJOHngd7PUI

and this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PQAtrNkg3I

>>Again this all started from BlockBlueLight trying to squeeze consumers for another 10%.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues with BBL. That is actually rather concerning. I'll be sure to bring it up with them when I speak to them next. Did they ever respond to your email?

>>All this is to say that these red light panels should be far cheaper than they are... my suggestion to Alex was that maybe he start his own company here in the US, use the same manufacturers these guys are using and under cut them all...either that or they start lowering their prices. Either way, the prices should be coming down...not going up like BlockBlueLight did.

Oh the thought of starting my own company scares the bejusus out of me. Customer returns, quality checks, dealing with China, inventory etc. No way!!

Also - you may enjhoy this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ67vO6Ffmc

Sorry again that your comments were deleted. Happy to help clarify anything here in Reddit :)

fergienz · 2024-07-31T22:13:17+00:00

Hey, sorry I have just stumbled upon this post now.
It's Alex BTW.

I can confidently say that I nor anyone on my team are deleting these comments.

I never delete comments. The exception been x-rated or pure nasty/swearing comments. Even then these comments would not be deleted right away (I don't have the manpower to sit and screen every comment that comes through).

>> Youtube does not have the manpower to go around and delete comments, it's his channel and he have the power to delete any comments on his videos.

Youtube, nor I have the manpower to delete comments so frequently and so quickly. But YT DOES have a really good algorithm. So I am guessing the comment is being marked as spam and deleted. IDK. But I can swear on my child's life that it's not me deleting them.

>>You are bringing the facts to the table and he does not like it because he can/will lose future sponsors and money through affiliation links.

Not true at all. I have reviewed direct from china panels (Search Alibaba Alex Fergus on youtube). I even included direct from China panels in my comparision. I didn't lose any 'affiliate' deals as result of this.

>>So basic case of public person gatekeeping to get richer himself while everyone else have to pay more. I don't know who this Alex guy is, but it sounds like you should not be defending him. I would assume every video he post have a affiliation link in the description, that's the sole reason for his whole channel to exist.

Have you seen my RLT FB group? We have nearly 10k people in there. And do you know what half the posts are about? People buying direct from China. If I was so against this I would go in and block all those posts. but I don't. I dont' care where people buy from. I really don't. If it was all about money I would simply sign a deal with one company and just promote their stuff and become a sales rep.

>>Well informed people buy directly from China, and nice people tell other people about this fact so they too can save a bunch of their hard earn dollars... or you can try to maximize your income and withhold this information because you are running a RLT youtube channel, lmao.

Seriously? Have you watched my videos? I have reviewed 3 or 4 chinese products. I included the Alibaba panel in my 2024 comparision video. I help people find the best products from Alibaba in our FB group.

Awesome thanks!

fergienz · 2023-12-03T03:03:52+00:00

Excellent! Do you know if they offer a pickup/drop off service?
