Clearlight Saunas
Clearlight is a California-based infrared sauna company offering premium indoor and outdoor sauna models across full-spectrum and far-infrared collections, with options ranging from compact one-person cabins to larger multi-person saunas.
Buyers looking for a premium infrared sauna with low-EMF heating, full-spectrum options, smartphone control on selected models and extensive residential warranty coverage.
Is Clearlight a good sauna brand?
Clearlight is a premium infrared-sauna specialist with a residential lineup built around two distinct indoor ranges plus dedicated outdoor models. Sanctuary saunas use full-spectrum infrared, while Premier models focus on far infrared. That separation makes the catalog easier to compare than a broad multi-format sauna lineup, but buyers still need to decide which infrared approach, capacity and wood finish best fit their space and budget.
Current residential sauna pricing documented for this profile runs from $5,499 to $9,899. The lowest current price is the Premier 1 in Basswood, while the highest is the Sanctuary Retreat in Mahogany. Clearlight also offers custom sauna projects, but custom pricing is not included in the published residential model range below.
Clearlight makes the most sense for buyers specifically shopping for a premium infrared sauna rather than a traditional heater-and-stone sauna. The strongest reasons to compare it are the clear distinction between full-spectrum and far-infrared lines, indoor and outdoor options, multiple wood choices on most indoor models, and unusually long published residential warranty coverage.
Who Clearlight is best suited for
- Buyers specifically looking for a premium infrared sauna rather than a traditional Finnish-style sauna
- Shoppers comparing full-spectrum and far-infrared heating within one established brand
- Buyers who want compact one-person models through larger multi-person cabins
- Homeowners who want indoor or purpose-built outdoor infrared sauna options
- Buyers who value long published residential warranty coverage
- Shoppers who want Basswood or Mahogany choices on many indoor models
Clearlight is a focused infrared brand, so it is less suitable for buyers whose priority is a traditional high-temperature heater-and-stone sauna.
- You specifically want a traditional Finnish-style sauna with an electric or wood-burning rock heater
- You want a low-cost entry-level infrared cabin
- You want a barrel sauna or broad traditional outdoor cabin catalog
- You want every wellness add-on bundled into the base sauna price
- You do not want to compare electrical requirements, capacity and wood finish before ordering

Confirm these details before ordering
These are practical checks we'd recommend before placing an order. Requirements vary by model and installation.
Confirm whether you want Sanctuary full-spectrum infrared, Premier far infrared or a Sanctuary Outdoor model.
Confirm the exterior dimensions, interior capacity and required clearances for the exact model.
Confirm the electrical circuit and voltage requirements for the selected sauna before installation.
Confirm whether Basswood or Mahogany is available for the model and how that choice changes the current price.
Confirm which optional upgrades, accessories or wellness features are included versus sold separately.
Review the current written warranty, delivery requirements, return terms and installation responsibilities before ordering.
Understanding the Clearlight sauna lineup
Clearlight’s residential catalog is easier to understand when you separate it into three groups: Sanctuary indoor full-spectrum saunas, Sanctuary Outdoor full-spectrum saunas and Premier far-infrared saunas. The main decision is therefore heating type, installation setting and capacity rather than sorting through a long list of individual models.
Current documented residential pricing runs from $5,499 to $9,899. Prices can vary by model, wood finish, promotion and optional upgrades.
Sanctuary Indoor
Clearlight’s main premium indoor range, using full-spectrum infrared heating across several cabin sizes with Basswood or Mahogany available on most models.
Sanctuary Outdoor
Purpose-built exterior infrared saunas for buyers who want Clearlight’s full-spectrum heating in an outdoor installation rather than an indoor cabin.
Premier
Clearlight’s far-infrared residential line, with one- to three-person cabins and a lower entry price than the Sanctuary full-spectrum range.
