1.How do I go about selecting the right type of wood for my sauna?
Generally speaking, wood choice is about personal style and budget. The one exception to this is Hemlock, for those needing or wanting a 100% hypoallergenic option. Cedar is a popular wood option for those who enjoy the natural cedar aroma.

2.Is it ok to use the sauna while breastfeeding?
Please consult with your physician, as this answer is usually yes, but may be no depending upon you specific circumstances.
-
3.How much electricity does a Sunlighten sauna typically use?
Based on the national average of 10 – 15 cents per kw/hr, assume you will use roughly 25 cents per hour long session. Of course, energy rates vary from state to state, but this should give you a good sense for just how cost effective our dry infrared saunas are.
-
4.What time of day should I use the sauna (am or pm)?
It is completely up to you and your lifestyle. There is no data showing more of a benefit in the morning or evening.
-
5.Can my sauna be placed on any floor surface?
Yes, this is a completely self-contained unit and absolutely no water is used so it can go on concrete, wood, laminate, vinyl, carpet, stone, etc.
-
6.How long is a typical session? And how often can I take a session?
Most people partake in a 30-45 minute session, 3 -4 times a week, but it is safe to use every day and at whatever heat suits you best.
What health benefits are associated with infrared heat, and which have been proven and documented?
All of our health benefits have been either clinically shown on our heaters or are based on studies of infrared wavelengths that we precisely mimic in our heaters. Sunlighten saunas are proven up to 99% effective at emitting the highest quality and quantity of infrared heat required for delivery a full range of health benefits.

7.What is EMF? Is it harmful to the body?
EMF (electric and magnetic fields) are waves of electric and magnetic energy radiating through space. High EMF levels are often associated with power lines.
EMF is everywhere in our homes and offices. The electrical appliances we use (an electric can opener at close range emits substantial EMFs), computers, monitors, keyboards and mice, wireless modems, cordless phones, clock radios, hair dryers, mobile phones, microwave ovens and more – all produce EMFs.
Although the current scientific evidence provides no definitive answers regarding EMF, there is enough uncertainty that some people want to reduce their exposure to EMF. For that reason, we have limited the levels of EMF from our heaters as much as possible.
If you are concerned at all about EMF, we have some models with Ultra Low EMF carbon heaters. Our exclusive manufacturing process allows us to cancel out EMF to levels that are virtually undetectable.

8.Does infrared technology interfere with implants (metal, silicone, etc.)?
Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using an infrared sauna.
