FAQS
Can I use my sauna every day?
For most people, daily sauna use is okay after your body has become accustomed to
infrared therapy. Drink increased amounts of water to stay hydrated. Listen to your body
and stop your session if you feel any discomfort.
How long can I use it each day?
40 minutes is the recommended session length. See the sauna protocol on pg. 17.

emissivity, not air temperature. Sunlighten saunas are 95-99% emissive to deliver
the highest concentration of infrared. With that, the optimal sauna experience occurs

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

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 mid-infrared section in the middle, so it is not
safe to touch heaters while on or recently on.
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 15 to 35 cents 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.
