Artsauna's Product Range

Artsauna is a specialized online shop where you can find whirlpools, Finnish saunas, and more, in addition to infrared cabins.

The German company advertises a large product range, favorable prices, and a customer-friendly ordering process.

For easier understanding, the different sauna models and infrared cabins are named after Scandinavian cities. While there are barrel-shaped saunas for outdoor use, no dedicated outdoor model can be found among the infrared cabins.

However, all heat cabins are equipped with a radio and speaker. In addition, all models feature built-in LED color light therapy, a reading lamp, and an ozone ionizer. This is intended for disinfecting the cabin interior and also has a fragrance function for pleasant aromas.

As a customer, you can choose between infrared cabins made of high-quality cedar wood or the more affordable hemlock option.

The size of the cabins varies with the model. The largest infrared sauna offers space for up to 4 people, while the smallest is a 1-person infrared cabin.

Interestingly, Artsauna offers infrared cabins with reclining functions and corner cabins. The reclining cabins are equipped with 1-2 wooden loungers each, so up to 2 people can comfortably enjoy the warmth while lying down.

Corner cabins are considered the largest models and can accommodate up to 4 seated people.

How much does an Artsauna infrared cabin cost?

At Artsauna, infrared cabins are available from around €1,500. These affordable products offer all the mentioned features and provide space for one person.

For 2-person cabins, you should budget from €2,500. Infrared cabins with a reclining function for up to 4 people are also available from this price.

However, depending on the equipment, the costs for the heat cabin can vary. For example, Artsauna offers the choice between full-spectrum and ceramic heaters.

According to their own statements, the two differ mainly in the area of radiation that hits the skin. While ceramic heaters emit pinpoint, concentrated infrared radiation, the full-spectrum heater at Artsauna is also known as a surface heater.

For those who are undecided, Artsauna offers the option of purchasing an infrared cabin with a dual heating system. This is a hybrid version and thus includes both types of heating elements.

In addition, there are also infrared cabins with a triplex heating system, which uses three different heating elements and thus integrates not only pinpoint and large-area irradiation but also comfortable underfloor heating.

The so-called B-ware is also interesting in terms of price. Unlike new goods, this is offered at a heavily reduced price and is therefore not always available. However, the products are thoroughly checked for defects and damage before sale and are only released for sale in good condition.

And what Clearlight offers you

Clearlight Saunas International stands for high-quality and health-promoting products. Clearlight also offers maximum comfort for an exceptional wellness experience.

Unlike Artsauna, Clearlight focuses purely on infrared and therefore offers a correspondingly large range of these cabins. There are 4 product categories for infrared cabins, a mobile infrared sauna, and a DIY kit.

The 4 main categories are divided into:

• Sanctuary Infrared Cabins

The Sanctuary models are state-of-the-art full-spectrum infrared cabins that offer space for at least one person and up to a maximum of 4 people in various sizes.

In addition, the largest heat cabin can also be used for yoga exercises in the sauna.

• Outdoor Infrared Cabins

The currently only outdoor model from Clearlight offers space for 2 people and can withstand any weather thanks to robust Cedartec® exterior walls.

• Premier Infrared Cabins

These products offer a classic sauna experience and are the ideal choice for far-infrared cabins. Here there are models with space for 1, 2, or 3 people who can use the cabin simultaneously.

• Essential Infrared Cabins

The Essential models are very similar to the Premier infrared cabins in their functionality and design. The size is also the same, as there are 1-, 2-, and 3-person heat cabins of this type.

Additionally available is the mobile infrared sauna, which can be used lying down. It is made of organic hemp, easy-to-clean memory foam, environmentally certified wood, and includes the True Wave™ infrared heater.

Clearlight also offers a DIY kit that allows you to build your own infrared cabin or convert an existing one. You receive extensive support from the provider, but you can also design your heat cabin very individually.

Unique Infrared Heater Technology

While carbon heaters produce long-wave infrared rays but little heat energy, ceramic heaters are known for emitting a lot of infrared heat at shorter wavelengths and thus less therapeutic effect.

To combine the advantages of both types of heaters, Clearlight relies on a hybrid of carbon and ceramic heaters, which has the efficiency of carbon heaters and the power of ceramic heaters.

Clearlight True Wave™ technology uses micro-thin carbon fibers and our patented micro-fine ceramic blend for higher infrared output.

This means the heaters offer the highest possible thermal emissivity and performance. These are available in 2 versions:

• True Wave™ far-infrared heaters, which are the central heating elements in all infrared cabins.
• True Wave™ full-spectrum heaters, which are used in all Sanctuary™ models for immediate heat and additional therapeutic benefits.

360° Heat Supply

The placement of the heaters is important for the effect of infrared waves on the body.

The more body parts are hit by infrared radiation, the better our body can realize its potential.

Therefore, Clearlight offers a 360° heat supply in its infrared cabins, which enables the full effect and gives you maximum freedom of movement.

The Lowest EMF and ELF Values

Clearlight is a pioneer when it comes to reducing electromagnetic fields.

Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and extremely low frequencies (ELF) have been extensively researched, and it is clear that they can negatively impact our health.

EMF and ELF emanate from every electrical device and are generated as soon as current flows. This means they are, to a certain extent, our everyday companions.

Clearlight's True Wave™ far-infrared and full-spectrum infrared heaters have by far the lowest EMF and ELF values on the market.

Clearlight's experts have developed the first and only practically EMF-free and low-ELF combination in their infrared heaters. This eliminates all electromagnetic fields. This way, you can enjoy the safest and most beneficial infrared cabin experience at home.

This means that when you buy one of these infrared saunas, you don't have to worry about electrosmog, as the heaters produce virtually none, thus creating no additional burden in the household.

Lifetime Warranty

The warranty reflects the quality of every product. That's why Clearlight offers a lifetime warranty on all products for private individuals.

This product warranty not only eliminates a major purchase risk but also shows that you are acquiring the highest, long-lasting quality and will therefore not incur any additional, hidden costs.

Extensions for Infrared Cabins

As for accessories, Clearlight offers a variety of devices, while Artsauna has only a few additional extensions in its range.

At Clearlight, you have various options to upgrade your infrared cabin. For example, you can expand it with various technical features to turn your infrared cabin into a 360° health system.

Additional options include red light therapy, halotherapy, vibrational resonance therapy, and an additional full-spectrum heater. A mobile ergonomic backrest provides additional comfort.

Artsauna, on the other hand, primarily offers spare parts and smaller accessories for infrared cabins. There you can find, for example, extra ceramic heaters, fragrance pads for the ionizer, radios, or various LED lamps and colored lights.

Since the infrared saunas already come with solid equipment as standard, you will find fewer expansion options with this provider.

Prices of Clearlight Infrared Cabins

Compared to other infrared cabins, Clearlight products are among the higher-priced offerings. This means that the initial costs are higher. However, here you are primarily paying for sensational quality, durability, and exceptionally good service.

Thanks to the lifetime warranty on all products for private use and the unique technology of the heaters, follow-up costs are avoided.

The heat cabins cost between €3,000 and €10,000, with the price depending on the size, model, and features.

This price is made up of various components. A major factor, for example, is the wood used. The robust products are made with cedar wood, spruce wood, hemlock, or Swiss pine. All of these types of wood are high-quality, stable, and have their very own special properties.

The Online Presence of Artsauna and Clearlight

Artsauna is an online provider, which means you can purchase their products through their online shop.

Clearlight, on the other hand, markets its products through its own website, but you won't find a classic online shop here. The acquisition of infrared cabins is based on personal contact with experts.

However, this does not mean that you have to do without any advice from Artsauna. While Clearlight offers comprehensive personal advice upon request, Artsauna's website provides a detailed written guide.

But even with Clearlight, online FAQs and a buying guide are easily accessible.

Overall, Clearlight's online presence impresses with its elegantly modern appearance and high user-friendliness. All product information is clearly visible. In addition, there is a detailed e-book, an informative blog, and references to scientific studies on infrared cabins and health.

Artsauna also has an extensive blog or guide that deals with various topics related to infrared saunas. There you will find detailed checklists for proper care, valuable tips for use, and additional information about health, wood types, infrared radiation, and more.

The two websites could not be more different in design, yet each speaks for itself. They are characterized by ease of use and well-founded information about the offerings.

Conclusion

Both Artsauna and Clearlight have been popular with sauna lovers for years. In tests, Clearlight infrared cabins and comparable products from Artsauna consistently perform well.

Ultimately, you have to decide for yourself which is the best infrared cabin.

While Artsauna stands for affordable products for every household, a Clearlight infrared sauna offers you a luxurious, high-end experience with a corresponding guarantee and longevity.

The decision should always be based on your wishes, requirements, and budget.

If you would like to know more about infrared cabins, we at Clearlight would be happy to advise you.
