The verdict
Mito's pitch is modularity: start with one panel and link more until you cover your whole body. The full-body setup is where it becomes a genuine home light station, mixing several red and near-infrared wavelengths. Pricing across configurations is confusing, so pick the size first and the sale second.
Why we like it
- +Modular panels scale to full-body coverage
- +Multiple red and near-infrared wavelengths
- +HSA/FSA eligible (per brand)
Worth knowing
