🔥 Infrared sauna, not infrared - are you being deceived?!

🔥 Infrared sauna - not infrared! Are you being cheated?

📚 Background
Infrared and red light technology – such as panels, mats, sleeping bags, face masks, caps and more – has become very popular. Everyone "wants it", but most people know little about the technology and often end up making bad choices.

Uno Vita AS and spring Clinic for integrated medicine are pioneers in the industry. We were the first in Norway to participate full-spectrum infrared saunas (Sunlighten), earthing products (Earthing), advanced red light therapy systems, and we have developed Luci Phi – pulsating light therapy, which is now implemented in our most advanced panels. We also offer frequency therapy, PEMF (pulsating magnetic field) and professional light therapy for clinics and home use. We have over 15 years of experience with electromedical technologies and now shares this knowledge with you.

Founder Jan Fredrik Poleszynski has in-depth specialist knowledge of light, electricity, magnetic fields and health, and is an international lecturer in electromagnetism and integrated medicine. You can watch his lecture "Let There Be Light" on YouTube (Germany, 2018, 700 participants from 26 countries) – free and in English.

🚗 Infrared sauna - as imprecise as saying "car"
When you buy a car, you know that there are big differences in function, quality, safety and lifespan. A small Skoda and a Rolls-Royce are both cars, but represent completely different values. This is also the case with saunas. Many consumers are deceived because they do not understand the technology behind the term "infrared".

💸 Cheap is cheap - and cheap does not mean good
The market is flooded with affordable "infrared" saunas and red light devices on social media. For the inexperienced, it is difficult to distinguish quality from advertising. This article explains the difference between cheap far infrared saunas and professional ones Sunlighten full-spectrum saunas - and why the effect in the body cannot be compared.

❓ Infrared that is not infrared?
Yes, it sounds strange - but the headline is meant to attract attention.
Most cheap infrared saunas only emit far-infrared light (FIR), i.e. pure heat radiation, in the range 5,000–25,000 nanometers (nm). A regular sauna actually emits similar radiation (3,000–20,000 nm), but additionally heats the air. Far-infrared provides more direct heat to the body, but only covers one part of the infrared spectrum.

💡 What exactly is infrared light?
Infrared light (IR) is invisible heat energy that everything warm emits – from the sun and your body to a fireplace or sauna heater. It is right after red light in the light spectrum, and although we cannot see it, we feel it as heat when the wavelength is long enough.

But not all infrared light is heat! There are three main types:

🔹 Near-infrared (NIR, 700–1400 nm) - Shortwave, acts more like light than heat. Penetrates deep into tissues and stimulates the cells' energy turnover (ATP) without creating noticeable heat. Used in photobiomodulation (red light therapy).
🔸 Mid-infrared (MIR, 1400–3000 nm) – Transition between light and heat. Gives a slight feeling of warmth and contributes to better circulation.
🔴 Far infrared (FIR, 3000–20,000 nm) - Pure heat radiation that is absorbed by water in the skin and tissue and provides deep, comfortable heat without heating the air as much.

📍 Briefly summarized:
• NIR and MIR are mainly light energy, not heat
• FIR is pure heat energy – the kind you know from the sun, the fireplace and the sauna
• Everything that is hot emits infrared radiation, but only FIR gives off noticeable heat

👉 Infrared light (NIR, MIR and FIR) is nature's own energy radiation - vital, invisible and the basis for all heat in nature.

🌈 Full spectrum means the entire spectrum
The Sunlight delivers true full-spectrum infrared heat, i.e. light in the entire IR range (NIR, MIR and FIR), in addition to red light and adjustable color therapy. It provides a unique combination of light and heat effects that no affordable FIR sauna can offer.

💎 Briefly explained: health benefits of red, near and mid-infrared light

🔴 Red light (600–700 nm)
• Reduces inflammation and redness
• Stimulates collagen and improves skin elasticity
• Accelerates wound healing and reduces scarring
• Relieves muscle pain and increases the cells' energy production

🌕 Near-infrared (NIR, 700–1400 nm)
• Penetrates deeply (5–10 cm) without feeling hot
• Increases blood circulation and oxygen supply
• Promotes repair of muscles, joints and nerves
• Improves cognitive function and brain energy
• Reduces inflammation and supports the immune system

🟠 Mid-infrared (MIR, 1400–3000 nm)
• Provides mild heat and superficial circulation
• Supports muscle relaxation and well-being

✨ In short: Red light + NIR provides a deep cell effect, energy and regeneration, while MIR provides circulation support and light warmth. You only get this in one full spectrum sauna - not in a simple FIR sauna.

⚙️ Function, quality, lifetime and safety - this is where Sunlighten is unique

🌞 Full spectrum technology: Sunlighten is the world leader and the only manufacturer that offers true full-spectrum heat – NIR, MIR and FIR in one cabin. The body receives deep, balanced heat and light-based cell activation.
🔥 Solocarbon 3-in-1 heating elements: Patented technology that converts almost all energy into infrared heat. Provides fast, even heating and maximum effect without loss.
🌈 Smart control and programs: Touch screen and app with seven preset programs (detox, cardio, pain relief, weight reduction, relaxation, recovery, skin care). Integrated color therapy (16 colours), Bluetooth sound and vibration massage.
🌳 Building Materials: Solid wood of basswood (fragrance-free and hypoallergenic), eucalyptus or Canadian cedar - stable woods with low outgassing. The unique one The Magne-Seal construction provides tight joints, fewer screws and a long service life.
⚡ Low EMF radiation: The radiation from the panels is lower than in ordinary household appliances - safe for daily use.
💡 Integrated Luci Phi Pulsed Light Therapy: Combines precise light and frequency pulses to stimulate cells and mitochondria. Provides synergy with PEMF and grounding for a deeper biological effect.
