Built in or add your own
- Built in is tidy, sized for the cabin and covered by one warranty.
- A separate panel can cost less and can be used outside the sauna too. Check that the panel maker allows use at sauna temperatures before mounting one inside.
What to compare
- Wavelengths in nanometers, not just "red light"
- Number of LEDs and total wattage
- Where the panels sit: front only, or front and back
- Whether the red light can run without the heat
We do not make health claims for red light. Ask your doctor if it suits you.
Questions people ask
Is red light therapy the same as an infrared sauna?
No. Red light uses LEDs and does not heat you much. An infrared sauna uses heaters to warm your body and make you sweat. Some cabins combine both.
How much more does red light add to a sauna?
In Sunlighten's range the red light version of the Amplify started $2,000 higher than the standard one on November 11, 2026.
