Red Light Therapy Sauna: Far Infrared Heating Tube

In modern wellness management, introducing red light therapy sauna has transformed the traditional sauna experience. Combining the benefits of both heat therapy and red light therapy, this innovation offers users a dual therapeutic effect.

This article explores the benefits of red light therapy saunas and compares the Effects of traditional saunas and infrared saunas before and after incorporating red light therapy. Finally, Alpha Sauna manufacturers will address common questions about red light therapy saunas, providing expert insights to help you choose the perfect sauna for your needs.

What Is a Heat Therapy + Red Light Therapy Sauna?

A red light therapy sauna is an innovative wellness solution that combines the high temperatures of a traditional sauna with the benefits of far-infrared light therapy. It achieves a dual therapeutic effect—”heat therapy + light therapy”—through the synergistic combination of sauna heat and far-infrared rays emitted by red light tubes.

The microcrystalline glass carbon fiber far-infrared tubes are versatile and can be used not only in infrared saunas but also in traditional indoor and outdoor sauna rooms. Additionally, they can be applied for targeted treatment of specific areas of the body in daily life, offering a convenient and effective approach to health and relaxation.

Alphasauna Supplier Red Light Sauna: Basic Information

Heating Tube

Our red light therapy sauna is equipped with high-quality carbon fiber heating tubes, delivering 100% far-infrared therapeutic effects. In contrast, most heating tubes on the market use quartz heating tubes, which do not produce pure far-infrared radiation and offer relatively lower therapeutic benefits.

Hardware Materials

Bottom Shell: Made of flowerless galvanized steel, a matte or silver-white galvanized sheet known for its high corrosion resistance and superior surface quality.

Reflector: Constructed from high-quality stainless iron, which surpasses ordinary steel in corrosion resistance and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance, making it ideal for dry environments.

Panel: Crafted from 304 stainless steel, ensuring durability and all-around performance.

Glass: Uses polished microcrystalline glass, which is highly durable, resistant to bending, and features an elegant appearance. It also provides excellent acid and alkali corrosion resistance.

Tip: All materials comply with RoHS and other environmental protection standards.

Polished microcrystalline glass is available in two color options: black and white. Each type of glass offers a different light perception—black polished microcrystalline glass emits red light, while polished microcrystalline glass emits orange light. (Tip: Both colors of light far-infrared radiation.)

Infrared Sauna: Before and After Using Red Light Sauna

Many customers of Alpha Sauna have consulted two common issues:

1. The sauna room has insufficient power and heats up too slowly. What should I do?

2. During winter, environmental factors slow down the overall heating speed of the sauna. How can I improve it?

Both questions concern heating efficiency. If replacing the sauna room is not an option, we recommend using a red light therapy sauna!

Professional Tips: Reasons for Insufficient Heating Power
To enhance the aesthetics of an infrared sauna, many customers opt for more glass doors, which reduces the number of heating plates. Increased glass surfaces in the sauna room accelerate heat dissipation, making it difficult to reach the desired temperature within a set time.

Real-Sauna Testing for Reliable Data

To provide customers with accurate insights, we conducted a practical test using one underpowered sauna: 1800×1800 cm infrared sauna (4.5 kW power)

Additionally, we introduced two 500W microcrystalline glass carbon fiber far-infrared tubes and used five thermometer-hygrometer dashboards for comparison.

Testing Setup & Method

Five temperature and humidity dashboards were placed in different locations inside the sauna to simulate temperature variations. （Near the sauna’s temperature probe、On the floor、On the stool、In the middle of the sauna wall、On the top of the sauna）

This setup allowed us to measure the sauna’s heating speed under normal conditions and compare it with the results after incorporating the microcrystalline glass carbon fiber far-infrared tubes. Below are our findings.

1800×1800 cm Square Infrared Sauna Room (4500W Power)

Under normal conditions, the 1800×1800 cm infrared square sauna room should be equipped with a 6 kW heating plate. It operates within a temperature range of 40℃-65℃ with a humidity level of 15%-30% and can reach the set temperature within a specified time.

As shown in the data above, when the outdoor temperature was 9°C we added two 500W microcrystalline glass carbon fiber far-infrared tubes. Despite the low outdoor temperature, this addition significantly improved the heating efficiency inside the sauna room. Additionally, the infrared square sauna room can reach 65°C within one hour, with a maximum temperature of even up to 74°C. (The temperature drop after one hour in the figure is due to the sauna room’s internal system being set to operate for only one hour.)

As shown in the figure above, when the outdoor temperature is 26°C, the heating efficiency of the 4.5 kW square infrared sauna room can generally meet customer needs. However, due to insufficient power, the overall temperature of the sauna room struggles to reach between 60-65°C. (The temperature drop after one hour in the figure occurs because the infrared sauna’s internal system is set to operate for only one hour.)

Conclusion

Adding carbon fiber far-infrared heating tubes to the sauna not only enhances heating efficiency but also provides localized infrared therapy, offering the dual benefit of improved warmth and light therapy. This solution is especially effective for underpowered infrared sauna rooms, making it a perfect upgrade.

Are the Red Light Sauna Tubes manufactured by Alphasauna waterproof?

Answer: Our sauna red light therapy has an IP54 waterproof rating, effectively preventing water splashes from all directions. Despite being in a dry steam sauna with humidity levels between 10%– 20%, it is designed to avoid short-circuit issues caused by excessive steam exposure.

What is the Difference Between a Carbon Fiber Heating Tube and a Quartz Heating Tube?

Carbon Fiber Heating Tube:

Provides 100% pure infrared heating and strong far-infrared therapy function. It heats up instantly (1-3 seconds) and offers high impact and corrosion resistance. Average has a long lifespan (5,000–10,000 hours) with no oxidation issues.

Quartz Heating Tube:

It uses a mixed heating method (far infrared + convection) rather than being 100% far-infrared, resulting in average thermal efficiency due to heat loss through air convection. The quartz heating tube requires 5-10 seconds to heat up as it needs preheating (using a resistance wire).

Additionally, it has a shorter lifespan (2,000–5,000 hours) and is brittle and prone to breakage. While quartz itself is corrosion-resistant, the metal resistance wire may oxidize over time.

Professional Tip:

Carbon fiber heating is ideal for those who need fast heating, high efficiency, long service life, and strong therapeutic effects, while quartz heating tubes are a more budget-friendly option suited for general heating needs.

How Long Should I Use a Red Light Therapy Sauna?

If you use it in a traditional sauna, the duration depends on your body’s adaptation. Due to the high-temperature environment, it is generally recommended to stay for no more than 15 minutes.

In an infrared sauna, where the temperature is typically maintained at 40–65℃, sessions can last between 30–60 minutes. （Always listen to your body—if you feel uncomfortable, leave the sauna immediately.）

Is Ted Light Therapy the Same as Infrared Sauna?

Although far-infrared light therapy and red light therapy are both forms of light therapy, they differ in penetration depth, heat generation, and treatment applications.

Far-infrared light is invisible and can penetrate 0.5–2 cm into the skin, generating warmth through molecular resonance. It has a strong therapeutic effect on deep tissues and is commonly used for pain relief, improved blood circulation, muscle recovery, and relaxation.

Red light therapy falls within the near-infrared spectrum and is visible light. It has a shallow penetration of 1–5 mm into the skin and does not produce significant heat, providing a cool and comfortable sensation. It primarily targets surface and shallow tissues, offering stronger direct stimulation for cell production. It is commonly used for skin health, collagen production, wound healing, anti-aging, and inflammation reduction.

Both types of light therapy have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your specific health goals.
