You finally get your sauna. You step inside, ready for that deep, soul-melting heat to kick in. But something’s off. Either you’re sitting there barely sweating, wondering if it’s even working… or you’re overheating, dizzy, and thinking, Uh, this can’t be right. Did you pick the wrong one? Choosing between Clearlight Infrared Saunas and Radiant Health Saunas can feel overwhelming. Everyone has an opinion, reviews are all over the place, and the technical details are too confusing. 

You want the best infrared sauna for your health, but you keep getting caught up on the same questions: Will it get hot enough? Is the warranty solid? What about the features inside?

Let’s clear that up.

Today, I break down the three biggest differences between Clearlight Infrared Saunas and Radiant Health Saunas so you can make the right choice (without second-guessing).

I’ll go over how well they heat your body, how easy they are to use and enjoy, and how long they last—and what’s covered.

By the end, you’ll know exactly which sauna is the right fit for you.

Heat Placement & Heating Technology

Not all infrared saunas heat your body the same way. Some raise your core temperature more effectively. Others focus more on warming the airspace, not your body.

Here’s how Clearlight and Radiant Health saunas compare:

Clearlight Saunas

• Uses carbon and ceramic heaters for deep, consistent heat
• Heaters stop at shoulder level to focus heat where it matters, on your core body
• Reaches up to 175°F for those who love high heat
• Designed for far infrared therapy or full spectrum, which penetrates deeper into your body

Radiant Health Saunas

• Uses carbon-only heating panels
• Heaters extend higher on the walls, warming the surrounding air
• Reaches up to 140°F, which may feel gentler but less intense
• Works well if you prefer a slower, more gradual heating experience

If you’re setting up your sauna in a basement, here’s something to consider: Clearlight has in-floor heating under a solid wood floor. Radiant Health, however, uses tile floor, which can get super hot on your feet and very slippery from sweating.

Clearlight used to use tile floors actually, but went away from it many years ago for the reasons mentioned. For a cleaner, safer sauna experience, in-floor heating is the way to go.

Sauna Technology & User Experience

Your sauna should be easy to use, enjoyable, and a smooth part of your routine. But clunky controls? Bad sound? A sauna that’s more frustrating than soothing? No thanks. The right features make all the difference.

Here’s the breakdown:

Clearlight Saunas

• High-end Bluetooth Nakamichi speakers for great sound
• Digital touchscreen controls inside and outside the sauna for convenience
• Sleek glass door designs give it a modern, polished look
• Offers both indoor and outdoor models

Radiant Health Saunas

• Classic wood panel designs, but a bit dated/generic and plain
• Indoor saunas only, not designed for outdoor use
• Basic MP3 player system instead of Bluetooth speakers
• Control panels are placed high on the front, which can be inconvenient

I always say my sauna is my “Jen solo time.”  It’s my space to pray, meditate, decompress, sing along to music, and listen to my podcast or audible book. I tap my phone, sync it to Clearlight’s Nakamichi speakers, and I’m in my little world.

Warranty & Long-Term Value

A sauna is a serious investment. The last thing you want is for it to stop working with no backup plan. 

Here’s what you get with each brand:

Clearlight Saunas

• Lifetime warranty for the original owner
• Covers heaters, wood structures, and all electrical components
• Built for both indoor and outdoor use

Radiant Health Saunas

• 10-year warranty on the heaters and wood structure
• 5-year warranty on the electronic components
• Must be kept indoors at 68°F or higher to stay covered under warranty.

Clearlight Saunas gives you peace of mind that your sauna is fully protected as long as you own it. The only caveat is that the lifetime warranty doesn’t transfer if you sell it or if it gets left behind in a home sale.

CLEARLIGHT®️ INFRARED SAUNA REVIEW

You’ve heard my take, now it’s time for something even better. A couple who took a brave step, made a smart investment, and never looked back.

Here’s what Jenny and Glenn had to say.

“Jen, my husband and I bought a two-person Sanctuary Sauna from you a few years ago, and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. The sauna has truly transformed our health journey in our 60s, after coming back from a severe near-death experience that my husband endured, compliments of allopathic medicine. You were absolutely wonderful to work with back in 2022, and we appreciate all your communication then and since our purchase. Thank you so much.”
