	The experience of a far infrared sauna is similar to sunbathing, which gives you the radiant heat that is all your own.
	Infrared light is part of the Sun's invisible spectrum of light that has the ability to penetrate the human tissue.
	Infrared heat therapy uses these far infrared light characteristics to heat the body directly rather than just the air.
	Unlike sunbathing, far infrared heat therapy is completely healthy and safe. You can relax in a far infrared sauna and it will not cause your skin to burn.
	Far infrared saunas increase the body's core temperature thus resulting in a much deeper, more detoxifying sweat from the cellular level of the skin where many toxins are housed.
	Conventional hot rock/steam heat saunas heat the air with steam, which can often be unbearably hot and will cause you to only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breath.
	A far infrared sauna uses soothing dry far infrared heat that is well ventilated and extremely comfortable and relaxing.
	Far infrared heat therapy has also been shown to assist with weight loss, pain relief, improved circulation and skin rejuvenation.

	Solocarbon® is exclusive technology used only in Sunlight Saunas™.
	Solocarbon® is the only far infrared saunas heater to be clinically tested by an accredited University.
	Solocarbon® has shown to emit MORE far infrared which promotes a deeper sweat.
	More credible doctors recommend saunas with Solocarbon® than any other heating technology.
	Our Solocarbon® saunas heater uses organic carbon due to the effectiveness and efficiency of carbon.
	Solocarbon® saunas heater provides a better sauna experience because of the higher quality.
	Solocarbon® saunas heater provides continuous and evenly distributed far infrared heat so the customer will receive a constant flood of heat. Constant, high quality, organic carbon equates to better relaxation, pain relief, weight loss, detoxification, skin purification and lowered blood pressure.
	Conventional and other far infrared saunas heaters operate at a surface temperature between 300° F and 1000° F. Solocarbon® saunas heaters operate at a low 100° - 200° F. More of the vital far infrared light energy is emitted at a lower surface temperate.
	Our saunas manufacturing process is quality controlled with ISO 9001 quality systems.
	With Solocarbon® saunas heaters, the carbon panel is applied as a liquid to ensure even distribution and quality. After it is allowed to dry the panels are sealed by a heat lamination process.
	Again, this means Solocarbon® saunas heaters have NO UNHEALTHY GASES released during heating.
	So why pay more? You will get what you pay for. At Sunlight Saunas™, we inspect each carbon heater and sauna separately and guarantee our quality – for a lifetime. You will not have to replace your Sunlight Sauna.
