What is Infrared?

What is Infrared?

Watch this video to “see” infrared in action.

Animation helps make what’s invisible visible, so we created this 2-minute video to help you better understand what infrared is and how our bodies interact with it. Our bodies are like solar panels designed to absorb infrared light, which activates our body’s cells to produce the energy that boosts health and slows aging. Watch to learn more!

Purest Frequency

Only Sunlighten technology delivers specific infrared wavelengths that are dialed in to what our cells need to repair biological aging, like tuning your radio to the clearest channel, or like choosing supplements that are pure and free of extra fillers.

Science-Backed

We led the infrared sauna industry by being the first to combine light science with published studies of how infrared affects the body; other companies followed us. We have the patent on our heaters and NASA-inspired LED panels which means only ours emit precise wavelength combinations.

Proven Technology

Studies are costly and complex. Not many sauna companies have had clinical studies done on their saunas. Sunlighten has three studies using our technology that have proven ours temporarily lower BP, reduce waist size and increase flexibility.
