Our patented heaters combine ceramic and carbon, something no one else does. The result is deeper penetration at the exact 9.4-micron wavelength your body absorbs best.
Learn MoreFrom how infrared therapy works to what sets Clearlight apart, here are the answers people ask most before they buy.
True full spectrum infrared heaters emit all three wavelengths simultaneously: near-infrared (IR-A), mid-infrared (IR-B), and far-infrared (IR-C). This comprehensive approach allows heat to penetrate through the epidermis and dermis layers deep into subcutaneous tissue for maximum therapeutic benefit.
Some saunas claim "full spectrum" by combining separate heaters—one for near, one for mid, one for far—but this doesn't deliver true simultaneous full spectrum therapy. Others use low-wattage LEDs (10-40 watts) for near-infrared, which can be effective for topical treatments when placed directly on skin but aren't suitable for the sauna environment. LED near-infrared therapy works best with handheld devices like the FDA-approved DPL Nuve by LED Technologies, where LEDs contact the treatment area directly.
Clearlight's True Wave® full spectrum heaters deliver more near, mid, and far infrared simultaneously than any other sauna on the market, ensuring you receive comprehensive therapeutic benefits throughout every session.
Infrared heat can be a benefit to almost every lifestyle, whether you are looking to relax, recover, or help find relief. The radiant heat of infrared technology helps increase the thermal energy in joints, muscles, and tissues to temporarily stimulate the cardiovascular, immune, and lymphatic systems. Regular use of an infrared sauna can help promote health benefits such as:
Clearlight's Limited Lifetime Warranty for residential use covers the entire sauna for as long as you own it, including:
Coverage Details:
The sauna is warranted to be free from manufacturer defects, meaning if anything goes wrong due to how we built it, we'll make it right. This comprehensive coverage reflects our confidence in our 48-point quality control process and premium materials.
For commercial installations, saunas are covered by our complete 5-year warranty.
Most competitors offer only 7-year warranties or less. After year 8, they're not obligated to provide parts. Our lifetime commitment means you're protected for decades, not just a few years.
When shopping for an infrared sauna, watch for these red flags that indicate poor construction and potentially unsafe materials:
Smell Test:
Touch Test:
Material Quality:
Safety Standards:
As overseas manufacturing expanded, many upstart companies began selling "wooden boxes with heaters"—saunas with little understanding of therapeutic infrared benefits. These manufacturers cut corners on materials, construction, and safety. Always inspect the sauna carefully, ask about certifications, and choose brands with decades of experience and medical expertise backing their designs.
Many companies using carbon-only heaters extend them high above your head—sometimes nearly to the ceiling—to compensate for carbon's inherently low infrared output. While carbon produces quality long-wave heat, it's weak in terms of emissivity. Rather than solving this fundamental problem, these manufacturers simply add more heater surface area, including in areas that waste energy.
This approach has two major problems: First, it heats the air above your head instead of your body, wasting infrared energy where you receive no therapeutic benefit. Second, we believe heating the head directly is not recommended in infrared therapy—you want heat targeted at your torso, legs, back, and sides where it can penetrate muscle and tissue.
Clearlight's True Wave® heaters solve this by combining ceramic's high output with carbon's long wavelengths, eliminating the need for ceiling-mounted heaters. Our heaters stay positioned low and surround your body at the optimal height for maximum therapeutic benefit with zero wasted energy.
Assembly typically takes 1-3 hours with two people and requires only a screwdriver for the door handle—no special tools needed. Our customers consistently report that assembly is surprisingly simple thanks to our ingenious design. As one customer from Oregon shared: "The sauna was an absolute dream to put together. It took us longer to unpack all the pieces and carry them around the house than it did to assemble." The precision engineering means panels fit together seamlessly, and our detailed instructions guide you through every step. Professional installation service is also available in some areas if you prefer a hands-off approach.
While most infrared sauna companies use adapted industrial heaters in wooden cabins, Clearlight manufactures proprietary heater technology specifically engineered for the human body:

ELF, also called electric fields or "dirty electricity," can affect sensitive individuals, causing sleep disruption, agitation, and according to OSHA research, potential links to more serious health concerns.
While EMF is canceled within the heater itself, eliminating ELF requires comprehensive electrical engineering throughout the entire sauna. All Clearlight Premier™ and Sanctuary™ models include our proprietary ELF-canceling technology:
This multi-layered approach makes Clearlight the only infrared sauna manufacturer offering comprehensive low EMF and low ELF protection.
While research into electromagnetic fields (EMF) continues, some health effects have been linked to prolonged EMF exposure, including:
The CDC recommends maximum EMF exposure of 3 milligauss (mg). Given these potential concerns, Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Clearlight's founder, pioneered EMF-canceling technology to ensure your sauna sessions promote wellness without compromise. Our True Wave® heaters measure less than 1mg when tested directly on the heater—well below safety thresholds and 20-50 times lower than many competitors.
Yes, all Clearlight Infrared Sauna™ models can be used outside with our optional water-proof cover. Because we use high-pressure bindings and precision hand craftsmanship, our sauna cabinetry can endure outdoor humidity and dryness as long as you protect it with our water-proof cover.
Infrared saunas are designed to heat the human body, not the air. Only about 20% of the heat from our heaters goes to heat the air. Because of this, if you live in a place where the temperature gets below 40° F, we don’t recommend putting the sauna outside. It will take much longer for the cabin to warm up and it will not get as hot. Please consult one of our infrared sauna specialists for more information about putting your sauna outside.
Infrared heaters use two primary materials—ceramic and carbon—each with distinct advantages. Ceramic heaters have a high emissivity rating, meaning they produce abundant infrared heat efficiently. However, they tend to generate shorter infrared wavelengths that aren't as readily absorbed by the human body, limiting their therapeutic effectiveness.
Carbon heaters produce longer infrared wavelengths that penetrate deeper and are more easily absorbed by your body, delivering superior wellness results. The trade-off is that carbon heaters have lower emissivity—they produce high-quality heat but less of it overall.
Many companies compensate for carbon's lower output by extending heaters high above your head, nearly to the ceiling. This wastes infrared energy heating empty air instead of your body. At Clearlight, our patented True Wave® heaters solve this by combining ceramic's high output with carbon's long wavelengths, delivering both power and therapeutic quality while keeping heaters positioned low to target your body directly.
Infrared saunas are actually more affordable than traditional saunas despite their advanced technology:
Infrared Saunas: $5,000 - $9,000 Traditional Saunas: $6,000 - $11,000
The final cost depends on several factors:
Operating Costs: Infrared saunas are remarkably economical to run—approximately 20-25 cents per session. The lower operating temperature (115-130°F vs. 170-200°F for traditional) and faster heat-up time (10-15 minutes vs. 30-45 minutes) make them significantly more energy-efficient.
When you factor in the Limited Lifetime Warranty, lower operating costs, and superior therapeutic benefits, Clearlight saunas represent exceptional long-term value for your wellness investment.
Yes, preheat your Clearlight sauna for 10-15 minutes before getting in. This allows the True Wave heaters to reach their optimal operating temperature.
Once you enter, turn the thermostat up to the maximum temperature to keep the heaters running continuously throughout your session. While you may set it to 150°F, the cabin will typically reach 115-125°F—this is by design, as infrared saunas heat your body directly rather than the air.

Yes, infrared saunas can help with pain and inflammation. The infrared heat penetrates deep into your muscles and joints, increasing blood circulation and delivering oxygen-rich blood to problem areas. This helps reduce muscle tension, ease joint stiffness, and decrease inflammation. Many people find relief from conditions like arthritis, sore muscles, and general aches and pains. The heat also promotes faster recovery after workouts by helping your body flush out metabolic waste. For pain management, most users find that regular sessions of 20-30 minutes, a few times per week, provide the best results. As always, consult your doctor before using sauna therapy if you have chronic pain conditions or other health concerns.
The recommended session time is 20-45 minutes, depending on your personal preference and comfort level. If you're new to infrared saunas, start with shorter sessions of 15-20 minutes and gradually increase the time as your body adapts. Some people prefer longer sessions while others find 20-30 minutes is perfect for them. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly, as there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after your session. Most regular users find that 3-5 sessions per week provides optimal health benefits.
Yes, our Clearlight saunas are safe for daily use for most people. Our infrared saunas operate at comfortable temperatures of 115-125°F, which is much lower than traditional saunas, making them gentle enough for frequent sessions. We've designed our saunas with industry-leading ultra-low EMF/ELF shielding that's independently tested and certified, ensuring safe exposure levels. We also use only non-toxic, eco-certified materials in construction. However, it's important to stay properly hydrated before and after each session. If you're new to sauna use, we recommend starting with a few sessions per week and gradually increasing frequency. Always consult with your doctor before beginning daily sauna use, especially if you're pregnant, have heart conditions, or other medical concerns.
Infrared therapy uses invisible light waves to heat your body directly rather than heating the air around you. When you sit in our Clearlight sauna, the infrared heat penetrates 1.5-2 inches deep into your skin, muscles, and tissues, raising your core body temperature from the inside out. This deep penetrating heat stimulates your cells' mitochondria, increasing energy production and triggering your body's natural healing responses. As your core temperature rises, your heart rate increases and blood vessels dilate, boosting circulation throughout your body. This increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues while helping remove toxins and metabolic waste. Your body responds by producing a deep, detoxifying sweat that contains a higher percentage of toxins and heavy metals compared to exercise sweat. Unlike traditional saunas that operate at 180-220°F and only heat the surface of your skin, our infrared saunas work effectively at comfortable temperatures of 115-125°F, allowing you to stay in longer and receive deeper therapeutic benefits.
