At‑home devices fall into a few clear categories: lamp/panel units (large panels or lamps for full‑face and body use), wearable masks (flexible or rigid face masks), and handheld devices or smaller panel lamps that often include stands or mounting/hanging options for targeted use.

Common recommendations are sessions of about 10–30 minutes for panels, used roughly 3–7 times per week. Masks and some smaller devices often offer shorter presets (around 10, 15, or 20 minutes) with suggested use about 3–4 times per week.

Listed wattages in the product set range from about 5 W up to 82 W, with several devices showing intermediate values such as 24 W and 60 W. Expect higher wattage for larger panels and lower wattage for small or wearable devices.

Most panels list red and near‑infrared wavelengths, commonly 660 nm (red) and 850 nm (NIR); some also include 940 nm. Wearable or multicolor masks frequently add visible wavelengths such as 460 nm, 500–520 nm, 590 nm and 630 nm depending on the model.

Common features include adjustable stands or holders, height and angle adjustment (including wide rotation), options to hang or place flat, and curved or flexible panels and masks that conform to the face for more even coverage.

Large panels and lamps are mainly powered by AC/DC adapters. Smaller wearables and some masks use batteries or rechargeable/power‑bank designs, making those models portable and suitable for travel.

Some products include protective goggles in the kit. Product descriptions commonly include warnings such as 'Adult Use Only' or advise adult supervision in certain cases.
