Before you order
This page gathers what Sun Home publishes about the Luminar 2, checked Oct 16, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Luminar 2?
The Luminar 2 suits a couple who want infrared out in the yard without building a shed around it. Sun Home sets a red cedar room inside an aluminum shell with nine full-spectrum and far-infrared heaters, rates it to 170°F (77°C) and includes a weather cover.
The five-person Luminar costs about $2,900 more. For stones and steam outdoors at a lower price, Almost Heaven's Salem barrel is built in West Virginia.
What does it take to install?
It measures about 57 by 52 inches, stands 83 inches tall and weighs 970 pounds, so it wants a level pad that can carry it. A licensed electrician runs a dedicated 240V, 20-amp GFCI circuit to a NEMA L6-20 twist-lock receptacle. It arrives on a pallet at the curb, and Sun Home puts assembly at about half a day for two or more people.

The Sun Home Luminar 2-Person Outdoor Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna is an infrared cabin. Its panels warm your body directly while the air holds around 113–140°F (45–60°C), so sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. A traditional sauna heats the air to 176–212°F.
What to know before you buy
Cedar, aluminum, full-spectrum, outdoor, 240V. These decide whether it suits your space and your electrical panel.
- CedarCedar resists rot and insects naturally, and it's aromatic. It conducts heat poorly, so the benches stay cool enough to sit on in a hot room.
- Full-SpectrumA full-spectrum cabin gives you the widest wavelength coverage you can buy, since it adds near and mid infrared to far infrared in one room.
- 240V HardwiredA hardwired model needs a dedicated 240V circuit installed by an electrician. Build roughly $600–$2,500 into your total budget for it.
