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:
Because infrared saunas provide dry heat, they require very little cleaning. The interior – including the sauna bench, floor, walls, and heater – can typically be cleaned with a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth. A light cleaning after every use can help prolong the life of your infrared sauna. Aim to do a slightly more thorough cleaning with a sauna cleaning solution every two weeks or so to maintain optimal cleanliness.

For larger maintenance concerns outside of normal wear and tear, additional infrared sauna service and support may be available.
There are typically no side effects other than the taste of salt and potentially thirst, or a scratchy throat. However, if someone is on any medications or suffers from any serious medical issue please seek medical advice before any therapy.
Halotherapy is a natural therapy, however any clients who have any serious health conditions or women who are pregnant should always seek proper medical advice before using the HALOONE®.
Contraindications include:
99.99% pure sodium chloride (pharmaceutical grade salt). It contains no fillers or caking agents. It comes from a natural source and is naturally processed to remove all of its impure elements. It is the same salt that hospitals use and is the same type of salt used in Halotherapy research.
20 million years ago, Eastern Europe was partially covered by a shallow sea. With the disappearance of the sea, large amounts of layered salt were left behind. In the 14th century, people started to mine salt for their own use and for sale. Large salt mines were developed in the south of Poland, near Krakow, leaving huge chambers deep in the mountains. Over time, it was discovered that salt miners, as a result of working in the salt mines, had very few respiratory conditions, looked much younger than their age, and rarely got sick.
In the 1840s, a Polish doctor named Feliks Boczkowski noticed something interesting while treating workers in the Wieleczka Salt Mines. Unlike other miners who routinely experienced lung problems from breathing in the pollutants in the mines, he found that patients rarely had respiratory issues. Boczkowski attributed this to the high salt content in the cave’s microclimate, and he published a treatise detailing his theories in 1843. Several years later, one of his pupils opened the first salt inhalation clinic in Poland.
This was not the first time people had drawn the connection between salt content in the air, and improved respiratory health. Catholic monks in Europe regularly brought people with respiratory issues into salt caves, and then crushed the salt with their feet to release it into the air. Salt therapy was also used in the days of ancient Greece and Rome.

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:
Innovative Heating Technology:
Premium Construction:
Industry Leadership:
With Clearlight, you're not just buying a sauna—you're investing in three decades of innovation, clinical research, and manufacturing excellence.
Every Clearlight sauna undergoes our rigorous 48-point Quality Control inspection before leaving the factory. This comprehensive process ensures:
This attention to detail is why we're confident offering a Limited Lifetime Warranty—something few competitors can match.
Because infrared saunas provide dry heat, maintenance is remarkably simple. You will have what you need at home, but Clearlight sauna cleaning and care products are also available.
After Every Use:
Every Two Weeks:
As Needed:
This minimal maintenance routine will help prolong your sauna's life and maintain its beautiful appearance. For larger concerns beyond normal wear and tear, additional infrared sauna service and support may be available through our customer care team.
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.
Every Clearlight sauna comes equipped with essential features:
Standard Features:
Optional Add-ons Available:
Electrical requirements vary by model size. Smaller Clearlight saunas plug into standard household outlets, while larger models need upgraded circuits.

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.
A cold plunge tub is a specially designed container filled with cold water, used for immersion therapy. It helps with muscle recovery, circulation, and overall well-being.
Cold plunging has several advantages:
Optimal cold plunge temperatures range between 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 15°C). Some experienced users may go even colder, but it's best to start at a moderate level.
Beginners should start with 30 seconds to 1 minute and gradually build up to 3-5 minutes as their body adapts. Listen to your body and exit if you feel discomfort.
Most people benefit from 2-4 times per week, but advanced users may plunge daily. Consistency is key to gaining long-term benefits.
Yes, cold plunges may not be suitable for everyone. Avoid them if you have:
After exiting the tub, allow your body to naturally reheat instead of jumping into a hot shower immediately. This enhances circulation and metabolic benefits.
Cold plunges and saunas serve different purposes. Saunas promote heat therapy, relaxation, and detoxification, while cold plunges focus on recovery and stimulation. Many enjoy alternating between both for contrast therapy.
To keep your tub fresh:
Change the water regularly every 1-3 months depending on frequency of use.
Keep your filters clean:
By Weekly: Rinse the Pre-filter with clean water to remove surface debris.
Every 1–3 months: Replace the sediment filter entirely to maintain optimal performance.
Keep it covered to prevent debris from falling in.
Clean the tub occasionally to remove buildup. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh chemicals and chlorine-based products. Comment end

It’s important to tailor your usage to your health and lifestyle. For most people, 3-4 sessions per week is ideal and safe.
Start with shorter sessions of about 10-15 minutes, then gradually increase to 20-30 minutes as your body adjusts to the heat. Make sure to stay hydrated before, during, and after your sessions.
Listen to your body and avoid overdoing it. If you start feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or uncomfortably hot, it’s best to exit the sauna and cool down.

One of the most important questions as it determines the size of the infrared wavelength and the overall effectiveness of the heater. The two scientific principles that govern infrared emissions are called Planck’s Law and Wien’s Law. Both of these scientific laws have an equation with several constants and the only variable is the surface temperature of the heater. In short, the lower the surface temperature of the heater, the longer the infrared wave will be and the more effective the infrared heat will be for you.
A key difference between sweating and effective detoxification in an infrared sauna is increasing the thermal energy in your body. The goal is to find a sauna that heats both the back and front of your body, so you can reap as many benefits without increasing the thermal energy in your body. Many saunas on the market today leave the front heaters out or have very small front heaters for aesthetic reasons. Our Clearlight True Wave™ heaters are positioned so that they cover your full back area whilst the front heaters are positioned directly at your front core. By positioning heaters correctly, your sauna is able to warm your body core and increase thermal energy.
Traditional carbon heaters, while they produce high quality infrared heat, they lack enough concentration of that heat on your body. These particular heaters work well within a few inches of your body but not in a large sauna cabin. The heaters are also often times positioned over your head and are predominantly heating the sauna cabin air. Due to the fact that infrared heat travels in a straight line, your sauna heater should direct heat toward your body core, not just into the air around you.
Maybe you have seen many heaters on the market that have a thin, single rod with a metal reflector behind it. Generally, these heaters produce low quality far infrared heat when compared to a large flat panel far infrared heater. First, a single rod heater must run at a much higher surface temperature than a large flat radiant heater to produce sufficient infrared heat. The higher the surface temperature the less effective the far infrared heat will be. Our heaters are built with the structure, the design, and every detail in mind, so you can focus more on absorbing quality heat.
It’s important to tailor your usage to your health and lifestyle. For most people, 3-4 sessions per week is ideal and safe.
Start with shorter sessions of about 10-15 minutes, then gradually increase to 20-30 minutes as your body adjusts to the heat. Make sure to stay hydrated before, during, and after your sessions.
Listen to your body and avoid overdoing it. If you start feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or uncomfortably hot, it’s best to exit the sauna and cool down.
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.
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.
Choosing the right sauna depends on your space, budget, and wellness goals. Consider how many people will use it—we offer 1-person models for compact spaces up to 5-person saunas for families or shared use. Think about whether you want far infrared only (our Premier line) or full spectrum infrared that includes near, mid, and far infrared (our Sanctuary line) for enhanced therapeutic benefits. If you're placing it outdoors, explore our Sanctuary Outdoor models built specifically for weather resistance. Our sauna specialists are here to help you find the perfect fit—call us at 1-800-798-1779 to discuss your needs, available space, electrical setup, and budget. We'll guide you through the options and help you select the model that's best for your lifestyle and wellness journey.
