Question 1

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Infrared saunas use infrared light to generate warmth within the sauna space. Infrared light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is invisible to the human eye. It is a naturally occurring form of light commonly associated with heat.

Unlike traditional saunas, which rely on heating the surrounding air, infrared saunas use radiant heat to create a gently warmed environment.

Question 2

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Infrared saunas typically operate at lower temperatures, usually around 60–70°C, compared with traditional saunas, which often run between 80–90°C. This creates a gentler heat environment that many people find more comfortable.

As with any sauna experience, individuals should listen to their bodies, stay hydrated, and leave the sauna if they feel uncomfortable. Sessions are offered as part of a wellbeing experience and are not intended to replace medical advice.

Question 3

Why is an Infrared Sauna better?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional saunas, which mainly heat the surrounding air, infrared saunas use radiant heat to create a gently warmed environment within the sauna space. Many people find this type of heat more comfortable and less intense than high-temperature saunas.

This creates a different sauna experience that some people prefer for relaxation and personal wellbeing.

Question 4

What type of lamps do we use?

Accepted Answer

Our sauna uses proprietary infrared bulbs made with tungsten filaments and red-stained glass, produced through a combination of traditional manufacturing techniques and modern engineering.

These bulbs are designed to emit a broad spectrum of infrared light within a controlled sauna environment, contributing to a consistent and comfortable sauna experience.

Question 5

Is this the same as red light therapy?

Accepted Answer

Red light therapy typically refers to the use of specific red wavelengths of light in dedicated light therapy devices. The SaunaSpace system uses full-spectrum infrared lighting, which includes red, near-, mid-, and far-infrared wavelengths within a sauna setting.

This reflects a design choice that focuses on providing a balanced sauna environment rather than replicating a single light-based approach. The experience is different from standalone red light devices and is intended to offer a gently heated, comfortable space for relaxation and self-care.
