The Sun Home Luminar 5-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.
