Buy the best Infrared Sauna in Christchurch

We offer free delivery to most metro areas, however extra charges will apply for very remote or difficult to access locations. Our sales experts will be able to confirm whether your location will incur any additional delivery costs.

The 5-person Outdoor Sauna has a combined weight of 476kg and 2-person Outdoor Sauna has a combined weight of 350kg. Therefore, as a safety precaution, 3-4 persons may be required for lifting, holding and general installation.

You will need at least 2 people to carry out the installation, however due to the size and weight, it would be helpful having an additional person. The installation itself is not difficult. For all saunas, a level floor is important to get the door alignment correct. Check the flooring prior to installation and possibly level it out prior to install your Clearlight Infrared Sauna.

Your sauna comes with an anchoring kit that gives added protection for the sauna roof in extremely windy weather conditions. This diagram will help you to decide how to fix the anchoring kit to the area which you will be preparing.

‍

The roof cap system is designed to allow water to run off the back of the roof. If the roof is not placed correctly, the water will pool on the roof and may cause damage to the sauna.

A sauna cover will be provided free of charge upon every outdoor sauna purchase and the use of the sauna cover is mandatory for all the outdoor saunas to maintain the warranty. For the warranty to be valid, the following condition must be met:

1. Your Clearlight® Outdoor Sauna is protected at all times by a Clearlight® Waterproof Sauna Cover.

If you choose to not use the provided Outdoor cover, your sauna must be housed under adequate shelter or in a weatherproof structure.

‍

The Sanctuary Outdoor Saunas must be installed on a firm surface that can support the weight, (with or without people in it).

A deck is the ideal surface, as the gaps between the decking slats allow for any moisture to escape, should any rain hit the surface of the deck.

Similarly, if placing the Outdoor Sauna onto a concrete slab, please make sure there is sufficient drainage to ensure any moisture drains away from under the floor.

The sauna must not be placed on any surface that allows for moisture to collect underneath. Select a surface that allows water to drain away to avoid moisture building up and “wicking” up into the sauna from underneath the flooring.

DO NOT position the sauna directly onto grass or any other soft surface where the sauna can settle, and compromise the integrity of the structure.

‍

The Outdoor Sauna is defined as “outdoor” because the walls are thermally insulated and therefore have thicker walls, for colder climates.

While the Sanctuary Outdoor saunas are designed to be placed outdoors, we highly recommend choosing a location without excessive exposure to rain, or that is prone to flooding. The Outdoor Saunas is splash resistant, but not weatherproof.

Please note: By International Standards, the Outdoor Sauna has an IPX WATERPROOF RATING of 4 : “Protected from splashing water from any angle”.

Absolutely. You Clearlight^® Premier Far Infrared Saunas is equipped with our True Wave II Heaters all around you. You have heaters in the back wall, side walls, leg area and in the floor. There’s also an additional heater next to the door to ensure you have heat coming from the front. If you after more intensity from the front you can also get the Full Spectrum Heater Upgrade.

All Premier Clearlight^® Far Infrared Saunas come with our unique True Wave II Carbon and Ceramic Heater Technology. They are low-EMF heaters that produce the majority of the infrared spectrum around the 9.4 microns, which is the ideal wavelength in the far infrared spectrum.

If you are interested in Full Spectrum Infrared heat you can also purchase the 300W Full Spectrum Heater Upgrade, which attaches to the door. No electrician needed to install it, just plug it in and enjoy Full Spectrum Infrared Heat.

‍

The inside of the Clearlight^® Sanctuary Full Spectrum Outdoor Infrared Saunas are made from eco-certified (FSC-certified) Canadian Cedar wood. We use the highest quality wood (Grade A), and colour match the wood prior to the manufacturing process. This ensures best quality and superior aesthetics for all Sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas.

The exterior cabin is made from Cedartec® (engineered wood) to ensure a good durability and high quality.

We use the highest quality wood (Grade A), and colour match the wood prior to the manufacturing process. This ensures best quality and superior aesthetics for all Premier far Infrared Saunas.

For the Premier basswood Saunas we use hypoallergenic basswood of superior quality.

The Clearlight Sanctuary Retreat Sauna features 2 benches that can be effortlessly moved to accomodate a wheelchair, a 12:1 wooden ramp to allow easy and safe access, and the control panel placed at an accessible level from the floor for seated users.

Our indoor sauna range cannot be placed outside for 2 reasons.
‍
1. The heaters will not be able to reach the desired temperatures due to colder outside environments.
‍
2. The indoor saunas are not designed to withstand exterior weather conditions, so any damage to the structure caused by weather factors will not be covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The HALOONE™ is more effective in therapeutic benefits because of the intensity of creating a wide variation of particle sizes due to the different membranes. HALOONE™ salt pods are also more concentrated than the dose you’d get by living on the sea or ocean.

No, third-party salt or mixing your own salt solution can cause contamination or impurities and can be harmful to your body if you breathe in contaminated salt or damage the membranes of the device. HALOONE™ Salt Pods use only the safest medical-grade salt solutions that are used in hospitals and halotherapy research.

When you press the power button, the unit powers up and starts dispersing the salt into the air. You can stop the halotherapy session by pressing the power button to deactivate the HALOONE™ unit. In that case you can use the same pod again in the next session. Keep in mind that one pod only lasts 20 – 30 minutes in total though.

The HALOONE™ can also be used inside a sauna up to a maximum temperature of 140°F (60°C) for no more than one consecutive hour. The HALOONE™ unit is not designed for continuous use in the sauna and should be removed after each use if the sauna is used for multiple sessions in a day.

Unlike most other halo therapy devices our HALOONE™ works with a saline solution and not with dry salt. The humidity helps to dispense the salt particles longer into the air so that there is more salt for you to breathe in. This process also helps to spread the salt more evenly in the room.

The cartridges will last for around 20 – 30 minutes. After that time, you’ll have to replace the pod. The salt in the air inside your sauna will be there much longer though.

The saline solution is a 3% pharmaceutical-grade saline solution. We use 99.99% pure sodium chloride (Pharmaceutical-grade NaCl) salt. The solution contains no fillers or caking agents. Also, the salt comes from a natural source and it’s naturally processed to remove all impure elements. You end up with the same salt that hospitals and halotherapy research uses.

Our Red Light Therapy Tower can be used in conjunction with your infrared sauna, to obtain the benefits of both therapies in one session.

When using Clearlight’s Red Light Therapy Tower while sitting 
on the sauna bench, we recommend 
a 20-30 minute session.
When standing approximatel 
15 cm from Clearlight’s Red Light 
Therapy Tower, we recommend 
a 10-20 minute session.

In the beginning, it is important to maintain consistency in your light therapy treatments. Daily use is recommended, and as time goes on the time can be tapered to three or four times per week. For an area with specific concentrated pain, exposure can be as often as 2 to 3 timer per day.

Eye protection is not necessary when using your Clearlight® Light Therapy Tower however you may find the intensity of the lights uncomfortable. We have included protective eyewear for your convenience and enhanced comfort.

When initially turning on the unit, your eyes will need to adjust to the strong light output. We recommend you look away or close your eyes and then open them slowly so your eyes can adjust. It is not recommended to look directly into the LED’s.

The Red Light Therapy Tower can either be installed directly onto the door of your sauna or used as a stand-alone product outside of the sauna, by purchasing our specially designed stand.

The traditional sauna for thousands of years has been made predominantly from close grain cedar for many reasons:

• Cedarwood is soft wood that resists cracking and splitting caused by the heating up and cooling down in the sauna. No sauna wood lasts longer than cedarwood.
• Cedarwood contains aromatic oils that are known for their healing and cleansing properties to aid detoxification during the sauna. Cedarwood can also help disperse excess fluids throughout the body.
• Cedarwood is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial owing to the unique properties of the cedar oil. This is especially important in the sauna where bodies, moisture and heat combine to make the environment perfect for molds and bacteria.
• Cedarwood is one of the most beautiful woods available ranging from a very light honey to a deep walnut shade.
• Cedarwood smells good and gives you a true experience. Normally a “non-aromatic”cedar is used in sauna construction that is very subtle and satisfying to the senses.
• Cedarwood can be easily sanded inside the sauna to remove any stains caused by perspiration and to bring back the fresh cedar smell.

There is a lot of misinformation about cedar wood on the internet. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) put it best in their September, 1993 report: “EPA believes it is unnecessary to regulate these products because they pose little or no risk to human health or the environment…EPA is not aware of any evidence of injury to human health or the environment due to their use.
Cedar is non-toxic according to the Regulatory Information for Cedar from the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) and World Health Organization(WHO). Please note that an extremely small percentage of the population cannot tolerate the smell of cedarwood. These people have multiple chemical sensitivities(MCS). These people cannot as a rule tolerate any aromatic oils, perfumes, shampoos or herbs. This is unfortunate, but for the rest of us, cedarwood is the sauna wood of choice. We offer nordic spruce models for people with MSC. Our spruce models offer all the therapeutical benefits, as we do not compromise. Nordic spruce is hypoallergenic and it has a nice bright color.

Clearlight® Red Light Therapy Tower can be integrated into all Clearlight® Saunas. Due to the large size of the Sanctuary Yoga and Sanctuary Retreat sauna models, we recommend you position the movable bench seat closer to the Red Light Therapy Tower to ensure maximum benefits from a red light therapy session.

In short, all electrical devices that use electricity to operate will indeed generate some type of EMF as a by product of electrical consumption. However, thanks to its unique and careful design the Red Light Therapy Tower has no detectable EMF emissions at the minimum usage distance of 10-15cm, which is what matters as this is where your body will be.

During a red light therapy session, photoreceptors within our skin called chromophores absorb red and near infrared light. This light is converted into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) in our mitochondria. Think of the mitochondria as power plants of our body and ATP as fuel for our cells.

By converting red light and near infrared into ATP we are essentially able to increase the energy in our cells.
‍
Amongst other things this is for instance used to build new proteins such as collagen and elastin and assist with cellular regeneration.

Red light therapy ensures our cells reach their potential and have the energy to perform optimally and results in a range of therapeutic benefits.

When we think of nutrition for the body, we usually think of food. Food is essential for our survival. We actually also need light on our bodies the same way that we need food for our bodies. Red light therapy can be seen as nutrition for the body. The body especially needs light at certain wavelengths. Our bodies produce important elements from absorbing specific wavelengths of light. e.g. Vitamin D that our body creates when being in the sun. Red light and near-infrared enhance the production of important elements like Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which enhances energy in our cells and drives many processes in the body. Through using RLT frequently we are able to artificially energise the cells in our body. The benefits of this are enormous and the research is profound.

Quality of design and construction coupled with superior and innovative heating technology. We start with the highest quality woods. All saunas are built by hand to our strict 48 point Quality Control. No sauna leaves the factory without being fully tested and approved by two levels of quality control.
With the ETL and CE certification, we are bound to provide a high quality product. We use no toxic glues. Our saunas are hand sanded, the handles and trim are hand crafted, the tongue and groove wood is color matched to look beautiful and all Clearlight® Infrared Sauna modelsare designed to give you a lifetime of health and relaxation benefits.
Almost every other infrared sauna company uses industrial heaters that have been adapted to be used in an infrared sauna. Not willing to settle with industrial infrared heaters, we manufacture our own patented-pending infrared sauna heaters in our factory. We manufacture our TrueWave™ combination Carbon/Ceramic far infrared heaters and full spectrum (near,mid,far) infrared heaters.
Being innovators in the infrared sauna industry, we have always set the trends that have guided the industry:
– Our True Wave™ far infrared heaters are the only infrared heaters on the market that combine both the high output of ceramic with the long wavelength of carbon to produce a sauna session that is unmatched. Our True Wave™ full spectrum infrared heaters deliver more near infrared, mid infrared and far infrared than any other infrared sauna on the market. These heaters are designed specifically to heat the human body.
– We are the industry pioneer of low EMF carbon based infrared heaters and offer the only low EMF full spectrum infrared sauna on the market.
– We are the first company to offer a low ELF infrared sauna. All Clearlight® Premier™ Far Infrared and Clearlight® Sanctuary™ Full Spectrum sauna models include our ELF canceling technology.

Western Red Canadian Cedar is considered by many to be the best wood to use for saunas. Other woods commonly used are spruce, basswood and redwood.
Western Red Canadian Cedar (WRCC) wood is often used for the following reasons:
Western Red Canadian Cedar (WRCC) wood is often used for the following reasons:
WRCC wood contains aromatic oils that are known for their healing and cleansing properties to aid detoxification during your sauna session.
WRCC wood is naturally antifungal and antibacterial owing to the unique properties of cedar oil. This is especially important in the sauna where bodies, moisture and heat combine to make the environment perfect for molds and bacteria.
WRCC wood is one of the most beautiful woods available ranging from a very light honey to a deep walnut shade.
Cedar wood smells good and gives you a true sauna experience. WRCC is considered non-aromatic cedar and has a very subtle smell and is satisfying to the senses.
Cedar wood can be easily sanded inside the sauna to remove any stains caused by perspiration and to bring back the fresh cedar smell.
Sauna users who are very sensitive to smells (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) may want to consider a sauna made of white woods like Basswood. These woods have less of a smell than WRCC and may be more comfortable for people with MCS.

We use Eco Certified grade “A” clear Western Red Canadian Cedar or Basswood. All of our Clearlight® Sauna models are available in both Cedar and Basswood. Our commitment to our customers is to provide the highest quality products. Our Eco Certified woods meet three sustainability standards as part of our green initiative

Our Clearlight® Sauna models are the only infrared saunas designed by a doctor. Dr. Raleigh Duncan has dedicated the last 20+ years to researching and developing technology to help heal the human body and he has been researching infrared therapy and its benefits for even longer.
‍
Our years of manufacturing infrared saunas go into every Clearlight® Sauna model While our sauna cabins are exceptional quality, with hand sanded panels, high quality close grain wood and attention to detail, the therapeutic benefits are our main focus.
‍
Our R&D department is always researching and testing new components for your sauna so when you buy a Clearlight® infrared sauna, you are buying the highest quality, most therapeutic infrared sauna available.
‍
With our limited lifetime warranty for home use, we stand behind our saunas. This warranty covers the entire sauna; the wood cabin, heaters, controls and even the audio system. We will be here next year and five years from now should you need replacement parts or have any questions about the proper use or your sauna.
We believe that by committing to a lifetime warranty for our customers, it ensures that we build a high quality infrared sauna that will last. This informs every manufacturing decision we make as we know we will have to support your sauna for many years to come.

EMF and ELF are important to us. 10 years ago we started producing heaters with the lowest possible EMF levels. Over time we’ve pioneered other technologies in this field and we’re proud to say that the EMF (and ELF levels) are perhaps the lowest on the market. When measuring directly on the far infrared heater the highest EMF level we could measure was 1.5 mG, which is by far below the WHO threshold of concern (3 mG). When only moving a few cm away this level literally drops to 0.
‍
Besides the invention of our True Wave II heater technology, we also use metal conduit wiring, run several grounding wires, and have designed the sauna in a way that the exposure to both EMF and ELF is the absolute minimum possible. When measuring on the two powerful Full Spectrum Infrared Heaters in the front, you will measure a maximum of up to 7-8mG. When moving away only 10cm the levels drop to 0. As EMF reduces with distance, where you are sitting there is no EMF measurable.

There are multiple kinds of wood that we recommend when it comes to building your personal infrared sauna at home. Determining the best wood to use will come down to various factors, including your access to sourcing certain types of woods, and also financial constraints might have you narrowing down your choice even more.
Any of these types of wood are suitable for sauna walls and benches:
• Western Red Canadian Cedar
• Redwood
• Alaskan Yellow Cedar
• Basswood
• Western Hemlock
• Scots & Radiata Pine
• American or White Ash
• Common Aspen
• Black Alder

Not all wood is created equal. Certain types of wood are pressure treated with chemicals to help them withstand the elements, and the test of time. As a result of this pressure treatment, we advise that you do not use treated wood if constructing a sauna at home, to avoid direct contact and inhalation of microscopic traces of chemicals as the ambient temperature and humidity climb.

Determining the best home sauna to buy comes down to personal preference and intended purpose. While you may have a specific lifestyle or family to accomodate for, it may not necessarily be the same for everyone. It’s for this reason that we have multiple different sauna models that vary across a wide range of sizes, price points, styles and in this case even the ability to DIY it.
If you are looking for all the different kinds of home saunas out there and what they intended purposes are, we’ve written a guide to help you decide and figure out which one is right for you. Click here to see the guide.

Again, determining the best sauna for home comes down to personal preference and intended purpose. There are, however, many different ways that you can use your infrared sauna to achieve your health and wellness goals. It is these goals that are going to determine which sauna is best for your home and ultimatley for you.
If you are looking for all the different outcomes a sauna can be used for, we’ve written a guide to help you decide and figure out if any reside with you. Click here to see the guide.
To find out the exact cost of the sauna kit that you would like, please fill in the form below.

The size of your sauna is totally up to you and will be a combination of factors such as cost, space restrictictions and intended use. However, if you are looking for a general overview of how big a 2-person sauna or even a 4-person sauna should be, we’ve written a guide to help you decide and figure out if any reside with you. Click here to see the guide.

There are many determining factors that contribute to the overall cost and build of a sauna. As outlined above in the FAQ ‘How much does a sauna kit cost?’, the size and scale of the sauna space you wish to either convert or build, will ultimatley determine the amount of resources needed to correctly fit-out the space into a fully functioning infrared sauna.
In the above example, we take the perspective of someone looking to convert an exisiting room into a sauna. This is undoubtly going to be one of the cheapest options when it comes to material and build costs. Simply fill out the form with the correct dimensions and our software will do the rest for you.
But what if you’re looking to build a sauna from scratch?
If you’re deciding to go down this route, the cost implications that you must consider include, the cost of materials that we do not provide, ie timber, clatting, equipment etc. All of which will vary depending on the scale of your project, the desired aesthetic of materials and also the suitable materials you can use such as non-voc finishes and non-toxic glues.
Another cost to consider is the cost of a contractor/builder and electrician. Possibly you will build the sauna yourself, if so your time is a factor to consider. If you’re using a dedicated builder, or even having someone to help you, consider their time and hourly rate when deciding the overall cost to build a sauna room.
To find out the exact cost of the sauna kit that you would like, please fill in the form below.

We determine the cost of each individual sauna kit through the use of our preparatory software program that calculates the correct required wattage needed to optimise any given proposed sauna space. This determines the correct amount of infrared heating requirements to achieve optimised therapeutic benefits and ultimatley the cost of the sauna kit.
Let’s look at the following example: Converting an exisiting room roughly the size of a 1-person sauna, with the following dimensions: 100cm wide x 111cm deep x 191cm height.
Using our exclusive software, the minimum wattage needed to support this specific size becomes 1255 Watts, and requires a draw of 7 AMPs.
Utilising our patented True Wave heaters to fulfil the wattage requirements, our technical team then determines the suitable size of the heaters required. This is to meet both the desired aesthetics of the sauna, as well as optimising the placement of the heaters for the most effective and efficient use, drawn from our 22 years in the industry.
For this example, we are using 4x heaters (600mm x 475mm) side panel, 1x heater (1100mm x 600mm) back panel, and 1 heater (600mm x 280mm) seating panel. This estimated cost of the heating components is $2,600 AUD not including freight, insulation, installation, build, contract cost or additional add-ons. This example cost is inclusive of these 6 True Wave heater panels, our lifetime warranty on components, 1 power source, 1 temperature sensor and an installation manual.
To find out the exact cost of the sauna kit that you would like, please fill in the form below.
*Please note this example is subject to change and may not be used as a quote.

The Clearlight^® sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas are made from eco-certified (FSC-certified) Canadian Cedar wood. We use the highest quality wood (Grade A), and colour match the wood prior to the manufacturing process. This ensures best quality and superior aesthetics for all Sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas.

There are no ventilation requirements necessary. Infrared saunas give off dry-heat without any moisture.

Your new Clearlight® Far Infrared Sauna will generally arrive at your home 4 – 7 days from the date it leaves our warehouse if the sauna is in stock. If it’s back ordered the waiting time can be up to 8 weeks.
‍
As part of our commitment to exceptional customer service, we ship every Clearlight® Infrared Sauna with a few higher levels of service.
‍
Our freight carrier will call to schedule an appointment to deliver your sauna, meaning your sauna will not arrive unexpectedly.
‍
Your sauna will be delivered on a truck with a tail lift to ensure that any possibility of freight damage is minimised.
‍
The delivery driver will move your sauna off of the truck and move it to an area of reach. It’s a kerbside delivery which means that the driver cannot carry the boxes inside your home, however the driver will move the pallet to a suitable location, which could be a garage or in front of your door step. Before accepting and signing for delivery, carefully inspect the damage. If there is any visible damage to take delivery but insist on noting this down on the delivery note. After that do contact one of our agents immediately.Take the boxes of the pallet, unpack each box carefully and start the installation using the provided manual. Installation will take between one to three hours, depending on the chosen model and size.

For the 1 and 2-person saunas it will cost you a maximum of $ 0.25 for running the sauna for an hour. If you used it four times a week this will cost you less than $5 for the entire month.
For the larger saunas the costs are approx. $ 0.50 - $0.75 per hour. (Based on 2022 electricity prices)

For the 1-Person Infrared Saunas you need 1-2 people, and it’ll take you approx. 2-3 hours maximum. For the larger saunas you can still do it with 2 people, however due to the size and weight some of the parts are heavier. It would be helpful having an additional person to help with the weights, however the installation is not difficult.

All you need is a simple screw driver for the door handle. All other parts connect together and don’t have to be screwed.

Important: We love the saying ‘You start levelled, you finish levelled’.
For all saunas, a level floor is important to get the door alignment correct. Check the flooring prior to installation and possibly level it out prior to install your Clearlight Infrared Sauna.

Assembly of your Clearlight® Infrared Sauna is quick and easy. It usually takes two people about one to three hours to assemble the sauna. No tools are required for the overall assembly except for standard screw driver for the door handle. An allen key is provided to fit the glass parts for the Sanctuary Saunas. Your Clearlight® Infrared Sauna is pre-wired and made with precision craftsmanship so it connects together with ease.
‍
We build your Clearlight® Infrared Sauna in our factory and every sauna is built and tested to ensure it meets our strict quality control standards. We then disassemble it, box it up and ship it to you. This way we ensure you will receive your sauna in perfect condition.
‍
You will also get a detailed printed manual with the sauna and our support team is happy to assist via phone, Skype, WhatsApp, email etc.
‍
We are also happy to arrange an installation for you. Please get in touch for more information.
‍
The saunas are also easy to disassemble.

Absolutely. Your Clearlight Sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna is equipped with our True Wave II Heaters all around you. You have heaters in the back wall, side walls, leg area and in the floor. You'll also have two powerful Full Spectrum Infrared Heaters that emit to your core. You’re literally surrounded in infrared heat making this your own true Sanctuary at home.

Low EMF Infrared Saunas

Our True Wave™ far infrared heaters are the original carbon based infrared heaters with virtually no EMF (Electromagnetic Fields). We pioneered this technology for use in infrared saunas. More and more research is being conducted into the harmful effects of EMF. That is why our R&D department spent over two years developing both patented and patent pending methods to eliminate virtually all of the EMF from our heaters. Many of our competitors still have EMF levels 20 to 50 times higher than our True Wave™ infrared heaters. With an average EMF level of less than 1milligauss (mg), when tested directly on the heater, it is well below the CDC’s recommendation of a maximum of 3mg.
Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York, believes it is likely that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMF’s. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns “There is reason for concern” and advises “prudent avoidance”.
Martin Halper, the EPA’s Director of Analysis and Support says “I have never seen a set of epidemiological studies that remotely approached the weight of evidence that we’re seeing with EMFs. Clearly, there is something here.”
‍
Some health effects linked with EMF are:
Memory Loss, Depression, Loss of Energy, Irritability, Inability To Concentrate, Weakened Immune System. Chronic Fatigue, Headaches
‍
Dr. Duncan, the founder and designer of Clearlight® Infrared Sauna® models, has always ensured that the therapeutic results of your sauna are our number one priority. Seeing the research and information available on the harmful effects of EMF, we felt that if there was a chance that high levels of EMF can cause health issues, we needed to find a way to bring the levels down as low as possible. We were the first company to accomplish this with our True Wave II, far infrared heaters and True Spectrum, full spectrum heaters.
‍‍

Low ELF Infrared Saunas

ELF (extremely low frequency) is also referred to as the electric fields or dirty electricity. There are some people that are very sensitive to ELF and have various reactions including sleep disruption and agitation and there is some link to cancer as discussed in this Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bulletin: https://www.osha.gov/elf-radiation
All Clearlight® infrared saunas include our ELF canceling technology. While EMF is canceled in the heater itself, we have to go to great lengths to cancel the ELF from our saunas.
We run the electrical wires through metal conduit.
We twist the wires to cancel the ELF and EMF.
We protect all electronics with foil shielding.
We carbonize and ground the fishnet mesh that covers our heaters to ground and cancel the ELF.

All Clearlight Sanctuary Full Spectrum Infrared Saunas come with our unique True Wave II Carbon and Ceramic Heater Technology. They are low-EMF heaters that produce the majority of the infrared spectrum around the 9.4 microns, which is the ideal wavelength in the far infrared spectrum.In addition to those heaters, the Sanctuary Range comes with 2x 500W True Full Spectrum Infrared heaters on either side of the door. The Sanctuary Full Spectrum therefore combine all three types of infrared (near, middle and far infrared), really making this model superior to other products on the market.

The idea behind infrared therapy is to heat your body directly with far infrared heat. In a traditional sauna you are just sitting in a hot room of 80°C-105°C. In an infrared sauna, the heat is heating your body directly and only 20% of the heat is heating the air.

You want to heat your body core, meaning your front core and your back core. Your body absorbs the infrared heat and reacts to it. The gentle infrared heat raise your core body temperature and stimulates your metabolism, lymphatic system, immune system and your cardiovascular system. Your body’s response to that is to sweat profusely. In addition to the infrared heat triggering a profuse sweat, the water in our bodies also resonates with far infrared heat and this also helps with the detoxification process.

With this in mind, you now understand why we stress the importance of having heaters all around you in an infrared sauna. If you do not have front heaters in your sauna, you will not raise your core body temperature as well and you will not receive as much of the desired effect.

All of our Clearlight® Infrared Saunas have heaters all around you… on your front, back, sides, calves and legs. We call this 360° heat.

Infrared heat is completely safe and all objects give off and receive infrared heat. In fact, it is so safe, hospitals use similar heaters to warm newborns. Infrared is a part of nature and essential for life. The human body gives off and receives infrared in the far infrared band. When a mother rubs a babies stomach to relieve pain, it is the infrared heat from her hand that is causing the healing effect. We have tuned our True Wave heaters to give off far infrared in this same range for maximum absorption by your body and for maximum therapeutic benefits.

Far Infrared Heaters

When comparing far infrared sauna heaters you need to look at the size of the heater, the material that is producing the infrared heat, the quality of the heat and the surface temperature of the heater.
‍
The two most common materials used in far infrared heaters are ceramic and carbon. Ceramic is a very efficient, effective material when heated to produce infrared heat. Ceramic has a very high emissivity rating, meaning it produces a lot of infrared heat. The drawback to ceramic heaters is that they tend to produce a shorter infrared wavelength. Shorter infrared wavelengths are not as readily absorbed by the human body so they are less therapeutic.
‍
Generally speaking, Carbon infrared heaters produce a longer infrared wavelength. Carbon is very light so the heaters can be bigger and can run at a lower surface temperature. These low surface temperatures produce long wave infrared heat. Long wave far infrared heat is readily absorbed by the human body and will produce more desirable therapeutic results. The drawback of carbon heaters is that, while they produce high quality infrared heat, they do not produce a lot of infrared – they are weak. In technical terms, they have a lower emissivity rating as compared to ceramic heaters.
‍
Most companies that use carbon heaters extend their heaters well up into the head region and almost to the ceiling in the sauna in an effort to try and get more heat into the sauna. They do this because of the low output of their heaters. This is wasted infrared heat as it is only heating the air over your head and not your body directly. We also believe heating the head directly is not recommended in infrared therapy.
‍
Our True Wave™ far infrared heaters are the only infrared heaters that combine both carbon and ceramic into one heater for a truly exceptional infrared sauna experience. They are built by us and designed to heat the human body. True Wave™ Infrared Heaters produce the long wave infrared heat of a carbon heaters with the very high infrared output of a ceramic heater combined into one heater. It really is the best of both worlds and they are fantastic infrared heaters.
‍
Within seconds of sitting in any Clearlight® Sauna model, you can feel the difference in the quality of the infrared heat. You will not find this heating technology anywhere else. It is exclusive to Clearlight® infrared saunas models.

Full Spectrum Infrared Heaters

A full spectrum infrared heater emits all three infrared wavelengths: near (IR-A), mid (IR-B) and far infrared (IR-C). Some infrared saunas offer a combination of heaters to produce full spectrum infrared heat. The sauna may have one heater that produces far infrared, one that produces mid infrared and one that produces near infrared.
‍
You will also see some infrared saunas that use low wattage (10-40 watt) LED’s to produce near infrared. Our belief is that LED near infrared light therapy is very effective for topical infrared treatments however, it is not suited for the sauna environment. You want to put the LED’s directly on your skin. The DPL Nuve by LED Technologies is a great example of an effective FDA approved near infrared handheld device. With LED near infrared embedded in the wall of the sauna, you would have to climb up on the bench to receive effective therapy as the LED’s should be right up against the area you are treating.
‍
Clearlight® Sanctuary Saunas utilize a halogen full spectrum heater. We have the halogen bulbs built to our specific wavelengths and standards. Our True Wave™ full spectrum infrared heaters emit about 1/3 near infrared, 1./3 mid infrared and 1/3 far infrared and each heater is a full 500 watts of full spectrum infrared heat.
‍
By offering all three wavelengths the infrared heat will penetrate deeper past the Epidermis and Dermis into the Subcutaneous layer offering maximum effectiveness.

Yes. The ideal way to use a Clearlight® Infrared Sauna is to have the infrared heaters on the entire time producing the optimal infrared heat you desire.

Infrared heat is most effective at lower temperatures as sweat oils secrete at lower temperatures and this sweat is different than water sweat. Your Clearlight® Infrared sauna is designed to heat your body more so than to heat the cabin (about 80% of the heat heats your body and 20% of the heat heats the sauna cabin).

Don’t be fooled by other manufacturers that offer constant infrared heat by reducing the output of their heaters. At the reduced output you are not receiving optimal infrared heat

The infrared frequency of any infrared heater is determined by the surface temperature of the heater itself. The lower the surface temperature of the heater, the longer the infrared wave and the more beneficial the infrared heat will be.

Our large True Wave II™ heaters run at an optimal surface temperature producing exceptional quality far infrared heat. This means our heaters produce the majority of the infrared heat in the vital wave range of 5 to 15 microns with a good portion of wavelengths at 9.4, the optimal absorption range of far infrared by the human body.

Only Clearlight® Infrared True Wave II heaters combine the high infrared output of ceramic with long wave carbon infrared heat to produce the most effective infrared heaters available. You can only find this patented combination at Clearlight® Infrared Saunas!
