The Harm of LEDs

LED light was engineered for efficiency, not for the body’s innate relationship to light. It feels harsher, narrower, and less restorative than natural-spectrum heat and light.

  • Often blue-heavy and visually harsh
  • Flicker creates cellular stress
  • Designed for efficiency, not human biology
  • Limited benefits compared with a full spectrum

"Most saunas just make you sweat—SaunaSpace helps you heal. It combines near-infrared light therapy with zero EMF, zero flicker technology to deliver deep cellular repair without the hidden stressors found in typical infrared units.

I love that it’s made with non-toxic materials like organic cotton and sustainable wood, and the fact that it’s portable means I can take my healing sanctuary anywhere. This isn’t just about sweating—it’s about mitochondrial repair, circadian rhythm optimization, and activating the body’s innate intelligence to detox, heal, and thrive."

"I’ve been using SaunaSpace for years and I’m so happy with it! One of my favorite features is its incandescent bulb, which is perfect since you can’t look at LED lights.

The warmth it provides is incredibly soothing and makes each session so relaxing. Plus, it has zero EMF, giving me peace of mind about limiting my exposure to EMFs, unlike other brands.

I also use it over my thyroid for just 10 minutes every day, and I feel a surge of energy comparable to having a strong cup of coffee. SaunaSpace has truly been a game-changer for my wellness routine!"

“People around the world walk up to me and ask me, ‘Dr Ardis, What can I do to stay healthy? what do YOU do every day stay healthy?’ Well, outside of diet, nutrition, and supplementation and exercise, one of the basic principles of staying healthy is detoxing.

One of the easiest and most efficient ways to actually detox and provide healing benefits is to use a sauna. There are many different saunas in the world. I have only one in my home: SaunaSpace. There’s very few technology devices on earth I’ve ever said I loved. I love SaunaSpace.”

“With this season’s COVID restrictions, NFL players have been unable to use their team’s sauna. That reality, coupled with its unbeatably low EMF levels, make owning my very own FireLight Sauna and Glow a lifesaver. I got the SilverLining. I am grateful for this quality product made by SaunaSpace!”

“Having my SaunaSpace FireLight in my bedroom has been an absolute game changer for me. I love being able to take time for myself, meditate, read, journal, or just sit in there with my thoughts.

Since I got it I have noticed an amazing improvement in how I feel, my recovery time from workouts has been cut in half and my skin is glowing. I also have a Glow and it's so nice and cozy to use that while I work on my computer or read. Also my 8 year old son loves it and will sit by it and do his homework.”

“I believe that near-infrared is the most therapeutic of the sauna options, and I love that the SilverLining not only doesn’t emit EMF or MF, it blocks out all ambient EMF for a completely ‘clean’ detox experience.

I’ve noticed benefits in sleep, mood, energy, and overall vitality after just a couple of weeks of using it. I even put my far infrared sauna on Craigslist because I haven’t used it once since I got the SaunaSpace.”

"Our Glow Light has become a staple in our home. We have it on our coffee table and mornings and evenings in our home are so chillax now. It feels as if we have a warm glowing bonfire that we all gather around. 

It’s funny how kids just KNOW what’s good for them and they crave it just as much as I do. The Glow has helped create a beautiful morning and evening ritual in our home that creates connection with one another and a sense of peace and calm in us all at the beginning and end of our days.

It’s hands down one of my favorite purchases I have ever made for myself and our family."

The FireLight® Infrared Sauna FAQ

How does the FireLight® Sauna compare to a far-infrared (FIR) sauna?

Most saunas heat the air around you. Ours heats you directly.

Far infrared (FIR) saunas use longer wavelengths that warm the skin but don’t support photobiomodulation. The FireLight® Sauna uses incandescent near infrared light (700–1500 nm) that penetrates deeper, raises core temperature faster, and activates true cellular healing.

No LEDs, no flicker, no preheat, just real, radiant heat designed for detox and renewal.

Why does the FireLight® Sauna have a canvas enclosure instead of wood?

Because it’s lighter, cleaner, and built for modern living.

Our natural canvas enclosure is portable, breathable, and tool-free to assemble, perfect for apartments, studios, or anywhere space is sacred. Unlike bulky wooden saunas, it won’t off-gas toxins, trap moisture, or grow mold over time. It’s washable, air-permeable, and naturally resistant to buildup.

But don’t mistake soft for weak. The double-layered canvas insulates like a pro, holding heat beautifully while staying gentle on your senses. With the SilverLining™ upgrade, it becomes a grounded Faraday space, fully shielded from EMFs and static.

It’s a return to simplicity: honest materials, intentional design, and a nervous-system-safe sanctuary that fits wherever you are.

Will the FireLight® Sauna make me sweat? How hot does it get?

Yes, and not just a surface sweat, but a full-body, cellular-level release that feels like the sun wrapping you in its arms.

Unlike traditional or far-infrared saunas that heat the air around you, the FireLight® Sauna uses radiant near infrared light (980–1500 nm) to heat your body directly. This thermal near infrared penetrates deep into tissues, raising your core temperature from the inside out, fast. No preheating required. Just step in, switch on, and the transformation begins.

Most people begin sweating within 5 minutes. In the Classic Sauna (4 bulbs), a full session is around 20–30 minutes. In the SuperSauna (7 bulbs), it’s even faster, closer to 15–20 minutes.

It doesn’t feel like steam or stifling air. It feels clean. Grounded. Regenerative. The kind of sweat your body remembers. The kind that heals.

What are the FireLight® Sauna’s electrical requirements?

No electrician required.

Choose 120 V for North America or 240 V for international use. Both Classic and SuperSauna models plug into standard outlets with the correct adapter.

Need more country-specific info? Read our full plug and voltage explanation.

Why can’t I lie down in the FireLight® Sauna?

Because upright posture activates more than just your sweat.

The FireLight® Sauna is designed to engage your whole system. Sitting tall allows for better circulation, deeper light absorption, and more effective detoxification. It opens your breath, aligns your spine, and supports full-body exposure as you gently rotate.

Lying down may feel restful, but it reduces lymphatic flow, collapses posture, and limits the therapeutic reach of the light. Upright, you’re not just receiving warmth, you’re participating in the healing.

It’s not about being rigid, it’s about being awake. Present. Fully lit.

Do I need a special stool or chair in the sauna?

Yes, and it’s included.

The Basswood Sauna Stool supports proper alignment and is handcrafted for comfort, breathability, and rotation. Once you use it, you’ll never go back.

Do I rotate my body during my sauna session?

Yes, and it’s a core part of how FireLight® works.

Our saunas are designed for full-body exposure. As you gently rotate every few minutes, each side of your body receives direct, radiant near infrared light, no need for extra bulbs or longer sessions. Some people turn in quarters, others sway side to side. Let your body set the rhythm.

Rotation also creates natural thermal contrast: while one side warms, the other cools slightly. This activates circulation, enhances lymphatic flow, and drives the heat deeper into your tissues.

In the SuperSauna® (7 bulbs), most people reach a 3°F core temperature rise and release about a pound of water in just 15 minutes. The Classic (4 bulbs) takes closer to 20–30. No preheat, no steam, just real, radiant heat that moves with you.

How much does it cost to operate the FireLight® Sauna?

Surprisingly little, for something that makes you feel so good.

The Classic Sauna uses 1000W, costing around 16¢ per hour.

The SuperSauna runs at 1750W, about 29¢ per hour based on average U.S. energy rates.

That’s less than a cup of tea, and far more rejuvenating.

Can I set up the sauna by myself? How hard is it, really?

Tool-free assembly takes 20–40 minutes. No drilling, contractors, or special skills required.

Watch the Classic Sauna setup video, and also the SuperSauna setup video.

What if I don’t have much space?

You don’t need a spa wing.

The FireLight® Sauna was designed to fit beautifully into real homes, with a compact trapezoid footprint: 52” wide at the front, narrowing to 24” at the back. Whether you tuck it into a bedroom, guest room, office, or studio corner, it’s self-contained and easy to integrate.

Clean, low-profile, and plug-and-play, healing at home has never been this effortless.

Is the sauna loud? Does anything buzz or beep?

Not at all.

No fans, buzz, or beeps, just silent, flicker-free incandescent light. Perfect for meditating or listening to music.

How long does it take to heat up?

Nope.

Flip the switch and step in. The bulbs deliver instant heat and light, zero preheat required.

Can I leave it set up?

Yes. Its aesthetic and footprint work well in any room, and it’s easy to disassemble if needed.

Is it safe for people who are sensitive to heat or EMFs?

Yes, and even recommended.

The FireLight® Sauna heats you directly without stifling air. Add SilverLining™ for full EMF shielding and Faraday protection, ideal for those with EHS and for nervous system healing.

Can I use it while fasting, detoxing, or on a protocol?

Absolutely.

FireLight® supports detox pathways, mitochondrial energy, and lymph flow. Just hydrate, support electrolytes, and ease in gently.

Should I wear clothing?

Less is more.

Nude or light cotton is best. No synthetics, they block light and can off-gas.

How long do the FireLight® Bulbs last—and what happens when they burn out?

The FireLight® Bulb is rated for 5,000 hours and typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on use. When it eventually burns out, replacing it is simple. It screws in just like a standard bulb, no tools needed.

If it burns out within five years, we’ll replace it for free under our warranty. After that, you’ll still get a special replacement price of $95.

Long-lasting, easy to replace, and always backed by us.
