Full-Spectrum vs. Far Infrared
Full-spectrum delivers near, mid, and far infrared in one session. Sun Home's Equinox, Eclipse, and Luminar are full-spectrum. Far-infrared only — limited spectrum coverage; generally lower cost. Sun Home's Solstice is far-infrared. Red light therapy is a separate technology from infrared heat, and research on skin health and recovery is ongoing. Eclipse includes built-in dual-panel red light therapy (650 nm + 850 nm). Pod includes integrated red light therapy. Luminar offers red light therapy as an add-on. Equinox and Solstice do not include red light therapy.
How Sun Home Compares
Sun Home publishes independent EMF testing (Vitatech) and cabin-air testing (VERT Environmental), and the Luminar reaches up to 170°F. Editorial recognition includes Fortune, Forbes Vetted, and Garage Gym Reviews.

Infrared Sauna Terminology
- Full-spectrum infrared: Combines near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths in one session. Sun Home's Equinox, Eclipse, and Luminar lines are full-spectrum.
- Far infrared (FIR): The longest infrared wavelengths, felt as radiant heat at lower air temperatures. The Solstice line uses far infrared heaters.
- EMF (Electromagnetic Field): Low-level fields from electrical devices. Vitatech measured 0.3–0.9 mG at three feet from the heaters in a tested Sun Home unit (January 2025).
- Dedicated circuit: An electrical circuit serving only one appliance. All Sun Home saunas require a dedicated circuit — never a shared household outlet. Circuit size is model-specific. 20A: Equinox (120V), Solstice 1–3P (120V), Solstice 4P (240V), Pod (120V), Luminar 2P (240V). 30A: Eclipse 2P (120V, L5-30P), Eclipse 4P (240V, L6-30P), Luminar 5P (240V, L6-30P).
- ETL certification: An independent safety mark from Intertek. Applicable Sun Home infrared saunas are ETL Listed for relevant United States and Canadian product-safety standards.
