How to use our Red Light Sauna

Quick Setup

After unpacking our sauna panel gently screw bulbs into sockets. Don’t use force.

To start a session:

  • Plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
  • Place it on a table, chair, floor, or hang it on a door / wall.
  • Use 3 switches to control which bulbs are turned on .

Local Use

Use the panel on one area of the body, for example your back, neck, shoulders or knees.

  • use 1, 2, 3 or 4 bulbs depending on the size of the area
  • application distance: as close as feels comfortable (about 40–50 cm)
  • application time for one spot: 5–10 minutes 

Home Sauna Use

During sauna sessions, you make full use of the infrared panel’s potential. It warms and relaxes your whole body while you are also bathed in red and near infrared light.

Since infrared light heats you from the inside, the surrounding temperature required to achieve a sauna effect is low. Many users start sweating after few minutes even if the panel is placed in the living room. If you are not one of them or want to sweat more, place the panel in a smaller room, such as a bathroom, which you can preheat with the panel or a heater.

NIR Sauna Protocol

Before Session

  • Drink at least 300 ml of still water/mineral water at room temperature.
  • Remove as much clothing as possible (light passes through skin, not clothes) 

During Session

  • Stay as close to the bulbs as is comfortable – usually around 40–50 cm
  • Rotate your body 90° to expose multiple sides (front, back, left, right)
  • Wipe off sweat with a towel.
  • Session length: 15–45 minutes (start shorter, extend over time). 

After Session

  • Finish with a cool or cold shower if you like. Many sauna users find the contrast refreshing.
  • Drink at least 300 ml of still water/mineral water at room temperature.
  • Rest for at least 10 minutes and enjoy the after-effect.

Most users have 3–7 sessions a week. Listen to your body and take a break if you feel unwell.
