Sauna Lighting and Ambience














Saunas can be and, for the most part, are tailored somewhat to the space you have to work with. From layout and shape, to windows and wood choice people really want to make it their own. Lighting the sauna and creating the ambiance that best fits your tastes or mood is just as important. Saunas vary from using very basic wall lights to strip lights and in most recent years colored lighting has been introduced. Saunas.com offers an array of lighting choices in our sauna packages. For someone who simply wants light to be able to see what they are doing and perhaps do some light reading you can install a moisture proof wall light and dress it up with a shade. A more contemporary look would incorporate a strip light with a wood valence along your bench walls...this softens the lighting of the sauna without compromising the areas where the user(s) sits or lays. Many opt for color lights like the Spectra-light package we offer. This provides color light therapy which is the latest trend as well as white light for reading or maintenance. These lights provide different colors which really capture a mood. Many believe there are psychological and therapeutic benefits to different color lighting. A red setting might help stimulate circulation, as some believe it arouses passion and generates enthusiasm. Yellow is believed by some to help stimulate intellect as well as aid in toxin processing. While Green, and Blue offer a more calming and relaxing effect. Finally, Violet is believed by some to neutralize emotions. While this is not the answer to real medical issues, there is no doubt you can set the lighting to tailor your mood and further allow you to relax and forget the busyness of your day. Lighting is definitely a way one can personlize their sauna even further and it deserves as much attention to the design as layout and wood choice.
