MitoHacker 3.0 vs MitoHacker 5.0 – which model for whom?

A lot of buyers google "MitoHacker 5.0" – strictly speaking the 5th-generation successor is sold as the Expert 5.0 in the current Mito Light line-up.

### MitoHacker 3.0 (this panel) Proven 3rd-gen full-body panel, 300 dual-chip LEDs, 660 + 850 nm. Still on sale, still supported, still the value pick if you find it in stock.

### MitoHacker 5.0 / Expert 5.0 (the newer version) Same 660 + 850 nm philosophy, updated 5th-generation LEDs, larger treatment area, higher headroom for daily whole-body sessions. Full review: /en/models/expert-5-0.
