Sunlighten
The most clinically researched infrared sauna platform in the residential market
Key Features
mPulse 3-in-1 Infrared Heaters
The mPulse series is the only residential infrared sauna delivering individually controllable near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths from a single heater panel, with intensity programmable per wavelength on a touchscreen interface.
Clinically-Backed Wellness Programs
mPulse includes six preset wellness programs developed from over 37 third-party clinical studies, covering detoxification, cardiovascular conditioning, weight loss, recovery, relaxation, and skin health — the deepest published research base of any consumer infrared brand.
SoloCarbon Low-EMF Heater Technology
Sunlighten holds patents on its SoloCarbon heater design, which independent testing shows produces ultra-low EMF and a high emissivity rate above 95 percent for efficient far-infrared delivery.
Smart App Integration and Voice Control
mPulse cabins integrate with the Sunlighten mobile app and Amazon Alexa for remote pre-heating, session scheduling, and program selection — the most polished smart sauna experience currently available.
Strengths
- Largest clinical research footprint of any residential infrared brand with 37+ published studies
- mPulse delivers truly independent near, mid, and far infrared control on every heater panel
- Smart app and voice control enable remote pre-heating and program scheduling
- SoloCarbon heaters combine low-EMF readings with above 95 percent emissivity ratings
Considerations
- Sunlighten saunas are not stocked locally and ship via freight only — long lead times are common
- Premium mPulse cabins quickly approach $10,000 once full-spectrum and shipping are factored in
- Warranty coverage is shorter than Clearlight on the cabin shell — limited rather than lifetime
Our Verdict
“Sunlighten built the strongest clinical research moat of any consumer infrared brand and the mPulse platform delivers genuinely differentiated wavelength-by-wavelength heater control that no competitor has replicated. The wellness programs, app integration, and patented SoloCarbon panels make a credible case for the premium price tag for buyers who will use the technology to its full extent. The friction is on logistics and warranty — freight-only shipping with multi-week lead times is real, and the cabin warranty is meaningfully shorter than Clearlight at a similar price point.”
