How long can I use it each day?
40 minutes is the recommended session length. See the sauna protocol on pg. 8.
What is the best temperature to use my sauna?
First, it is important to understand that health benefits are a result of efficient infrared emissivity, not air
temperature. Sunlighten saunas are 95-99% emissive to deliver the highest concentration of infrared.
With that, the optimal sauna experience occurs between 100.4-129°F (38-54°C). During your first few
sessions, start at a lower temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) and gradually increase in later sessions. Everyone
has different preferences and tolerances for heat. The most important thing is to listen to your body. Keep in
mind, if you’re sweating at 115°F (46°C) you’re getting the same benets as if sweating at 151°F (66°C).
What is the micron range of the heaters?
The design of a SoloCarbon® heater allows for most of the far infrared wavelength to be near 9.4 microns, which is
the level at which the human body absorbs infrared energy.
Can I touch the heaters?
No. The heaters will be hot, especially the middle, so it is not safe to touch heaters while on or an hour
after use. We don’t recommend leaning anything against the CELLIANT heater fabric. You can lean
against the wood trim or slats if sitting upright to prevent burning yourself or the fabrics. If you find
this uncomfortable, a sauna backrest is a great option.
How much will the sauna cost to run a month?
The sauna runs on the same wattage as a blow dryer and will cost little to run monthly: typically $.20-.50
(15 to 35 pence) per hour. This varies with the model and local utility cost. Your utility company can help you
understand a more exact per hour cost if needed.
Are the EMF levels safe?
Yes. Patented SoloCarbon panels are 100% quality controlled by Sunlighten to ensure the safety and
effectiveness of each individual heater.
What is the wattage, voltage, and amps of my sauna?
See electrical specifications on page 4.
