Enlighten Sauna Review, Benefits, & Popular Models

If you are looking for a sauna for your home or business, chances are you’ve come across the name Enlighten Sauna. In this article, I’ll go over company details about Enlighten infrared saunas, compare the different models they offer, take a look at the prices, and suggest some alternative models and brands.

Enlighten Sauna Review

For private use or commercial use, Enlighten produces infrared saunas. All you need are standard household tools to assemble one of their modular home saunas. They also do custom sauna designs for businesses and individuals who want something special for their homes.

One of the few sauna manufacturers in the United States that is involved in every stage of production is Enlighten Saunas, which began producing its infrared saunas in the early 2000s. Inevitably, this causes the price of the final product to skyrocket along with its quality.

Instead of using laminate or fake wood like some other manufacturers, Enlighten sauna uses the highest quality dry wood to make their infrared saunas. As a result, the finished sauna is nearly twice as heavy and considerably more sturdy than its rivals.

Machine learning is used to make precise cuts in the wood, which are then outfitted with modern lighting and electrical components that have been tested and approved by the Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL). The sauna is assembled one last time before being shipped to the customer to ensure that all parts fit together and function as intended, so you know you’re getting a quality product when it arrives at your door.

Health Benefits of Enlighten Saunas

Enlighten sauna uses infrared technology instead of heat or steam traditionally thought of with saunas. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate the skin without heating and offers a feeling similar to sunbathing. However, unlike sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is safe, and will never cause your skin to burn. Check out some amazing benefits of infrared saunas for home below:

Detoxification

Doctors will tell you, one of the best ways to naturally detox is through sweat. Sweating is a natural, healthy, and safe way for your body to expel excess toxins and leave you feeling refreshed and more energized. Enlighten infrared saunas result in the average person sweating out 20% toxins and 80% water, compared to 3% toxins and 97% water in a traditional sauna.

Weight Loss

Along with sweating as I mentioned above comes weight loss. The heat in the sauna leads to an increase in heart rate and a higher internal body temperature. This results in burning up to 500 calories in a 30-minute session.

Pain Relief

Heat has been well known to assist with pain relief, relaxation, and recovery time. Enlighten infrared saunas combine heat, and infrared light to treat pain and speed up muscle recovery.

Blood Pressure Reduction

Enlighten saunas were shown to lower pressure after using three times a week for 30 minutes in a clinical study by the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2005.

Improved Circulation

Enlighten saunas heat your muscles with infrared rays and increase blood flow like regular exercise. Blood flow during infrared sauna use has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.

Blood flow during infrared sauna use has been shown in some studies to almost double to 13 quarts per minute while in the sauna. Using the sauna regularly throughout the week can result in this increase in blood circulation becoming healthy even when not in the sauna.

Cell Health

Enlighten infrared saunas stimulate your body’s cellular system, causing toxins to flow from a cellular level to the skin’s surface. This improves cell health, aids in muscle recovery and strengthens the immune system.

Enlighten 5 Person Barrel Sauna

The sleek and practical barrel shape of this Enlighten sauna makes the most of the available square footage. You can speed up the heating of a room by decreasing the amount of air in it. To protect the wood and ensure a stable base for the sauna, weatherproof cradles were installed beneath its four corners. The glass door was tempered so that it would not break when exposed to extreme temperatures and would add to the peaceful ambiance. For heat, the sauna makes use of an electric sauna heater.

This superior Enlighten sauna Finnish heater is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and comes with a stone guard. The included bucket and scoop are meant to be used to add water to the hot stones, increasing both the temperature and the humidity of the room. Your heater’s temperature is easily and conveniently adjustable within a range of 158 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit thanks to the dial control.

As an additional bonus, this wood has a minimal scent, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive noses. The sauna’s door is made of tempered glass, which is resistant to sudden temperature swings.

Sunlighten Sauna Prices

If you are looking for a sauna for your home or business, Sunlighten Sauna prices are quite a bit higher than its competitors, with prices starting at over $2,000 for its base model. However, this results in a great quality sauna.

If you are looking for a home sauna, chances are you’ve come across the name Sunlighten Sauna. In this article, I’ll go over company details about Sunlighten infrared saunas, compare the different models they offer, take a look at the prices, and show you some alternative models and brands.

Who is Sunlighten Sauna?

Sunlighten manufactures infrared saunas for home use or for businesses. Their home saunas come in modular designs that are easy to put together in your home with basic tools. If you are a business or want something different for your home, they also offer custom sauna designs.

Sunlighten Saunas started manufacturing their infrared saunas in the early 2000s and is one of the few USA-based sauna manufacturers that is involved in every step of the production. This results in a high-quality product, but also a high Sunlighten Sauna prices.

The company selects the highest quality dry wood and uses this to make Sunlighten infrared saunas instead of laminate, or imitation wood, like some other manufacturers. This results in a sauna that is almost twice as heavy, more insulated, and much more durable than its competitors.

The wood is cut precisely using machine learning, then equipped with the latest ETL-certified lighting and electrical components. Before the sauna is shipped to the customer, they are put together one last time to make sure all pieces fit together and are working properly, ensuring a high-quality product is delivered to your door.

Sunlighten Sauna Prices For Its Popular Models

Unfortunately, Sunlighten Sauna prices are not public in the USA, you need to call and ask directly to get the most accurate Sunlighten Sauna cost. However, we can estimate the price based on the prices in other countries where dealers can sell directly to customers. The following prices are the starting prices for the floor models.

Are Sunlighten Saunas Worth the Price?

While I think the saunas are quality products, I don’t think the quality permits such a high price tag. Overall, I think most customers would not be able to tell a difference between a Sunlighten Infrared Sauna and some of the alternative brands I’ll list below. Additionally, the sales team can be very pushy when you call them to ask about prices, and not overly helpful when it comes to customer service.

What Are Some Cheaper Alternatives?

Health Benefits of Golden Designs Saunas

Golden Designs uses infrared technology instead of heat or steam traditionally thought of with saunas. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate the skin without heating and offers a feeling similar to sunbathing. However, unlike sunbathing, infrared heat therapy is safe, and will never cause your skin to burn. Check out some amazing benefits of infrared saunas for home below:

Detoxification

Doctors will tell you, one of the best ways to naturally detox is through sweat. Sweating is a natural, healthy, and safe way for your body to expel excess toxins and leave you feeling refreshed and more energized. Golden designs infrared saunas result in the average person sweating out 20% toxins and 80% water, compared to 3% toxins and 97% water in a traditional sauna.

Weight Loss

Along with sweating like I mentioned above comes weight loss. The heat in the sauna leads to an increase in heart rate and a higher internal body temperature. This results in burning up to 500 calories in a 30-minute session.

Pain Relief

Heat has been well known to assist with pain relief, relaxation, recovery time. Golden Designs infrared saunas combine heat, and infrared light to treat pain and speed up muscle recovery.

Blood Pressure Reduction

Golden Designs infrared saunas heaters were shown to lower pressure after using three times a week for 30 minutes in a clinical study by the University of Missouri Kansas City in 2005.

Improved Circulation

Golden Designs saunas heat your muscles with infrared rays and produces an increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. Blood flow during infrared sauna use has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute.

Blood flow during infrared sauna use has been shown in some studies to almost double to 13 quarts per minute while in the sauna. Using the sauna regularly throughout the week can result in this increase in blood circulation becoming more healthy even when not in the sauna.

Cell Health

Golden Designs infrared saunas stimulate your body’s cellular system, causing toxins to flow from a cellular level to the skin’s surface. This improves cell health, aids in muscle recovery and strengthens the immune system.

Build Quality and Design

One of the first things you’ll notice about Maxxus saunas is their sleek, modern design. The saunas are made from high-quality materials, including Canadian hemlock wood and tempered glass. The wood is untreated, so you don’t have to worry about any harmful chemicals or off-gassing. The glass is thick and sturdy, providing a clear view of the interior of the sauna.

The saunas are also designed to be easy to assemble. The panels are pre-fabricated, so all you need to do is fit them together and secure them with the included hardware. Depending on the model you choose, the assembly can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.

Heating Performance

Maxxus saunas use either traditional or infrared heating elements, depending on the model. Traditional saunas heat the air in the room, while infrared saunas use special heaters to directly heat your body.
