✅ Sunlighten infrared sauna review emf test
Video Transcript (AI Generate)
Alright, so today we’ve got portable sauna mayhem.
A lot of people have been asking for this stuff.
We’re going to do the dome first.
We’ve got a relaxed sauna over there.
Got another one, can’t remember the name of it, we’ve got to put together over there.
Let’s take some ambience before we even turn this on.
This is going to be the Sunlighten Dome sauna.
And so we just want to get some ambience for the room before we fire up the sauna.
We’ve got about, looks like 100, although the way this particular sauna is set up, there’s going to be power cords and stuff basically all around you in close proximity.
So that could be contributing to a little bit of the electric fields.
But we’re right about 100 volts per meter, about .8 there.
And double checking it, .7.
Double check electric.
Yeah, not quite as accurate, but we’ve got some on the screen there.
So now I’m going to throw this on the tripod and let’s get started.
So all right, we should be able to see the baseline levels there.
Let’s go ahead and turn everything on.
Make sure that you guys can see what I see.
Whoa, breaking it already.
Breaking it already.
Not super thrilled about these wires and stuff everywhere.
I guess if you had it figured out a certain way, it would get easier and easier every time you use it.
Let’s see.
Okay.
Let’s go from there.
See if you guys can still see that.
Probably not.
Okay.
So let’s make sure we’re on.
Magnetic fields look pretty good.
Magnetic fields at the opening are less than .5 milligauss throughout the whole thing.
Hopefully you guys can see this.
It’s going to be hard.
So from my understanding, there’s heaters in the pads and heaters in the dome.
I’m going to take the camera off the tripod and take you inside the dome.
I just don’t think you’ll be able to see very much in there.
Magnetic fields look good.
Electric fields do not appear to be mitigated.
We’ve got about 1,000 volts per meter.
This is going to be in close proximity to you.
Let’s try the other side where…
So one of the things, one of the reasons that this side is higher, right, is because we have this and then also the power cord from the controllers that runs down the side of the sauna here.
I’m going to have to show this to you guys.
The power cord that comes out of the controller that you use when you’re in the dome plugs in on this side.
So everything’s on the right hand side.
So the right hand side is going to be higher than the left.
It’s just the nature of the beast.
And so let me take this off the tripod and go inside with you.
All right.
Let’s see if we can get you guys in a bird’s eye view.
So there’s this LED system here.
They’re within arm’s reach of the controller and you’ve got this one too for the heating pad.
We’ve got them maxed out so it is at full temperature.
I don’t know what the temperature is in here.
Obviously I’m not in there.
I can’t be in here and filming and taking measurements.
So but just so you guys can see, magnetic fields look pretty good.
Magnetic fields are under 0.5 milligauss, which is pretty good.
There are some hot spots over here, but you get that in any sauna.
So you bring it out about two inches.
Well, it doesn’t drop off as much as I’d like to see.
But keep in mind, you’ve also got heaters here and here.
So you’re basically surrounding the body.
Let’s double check that.
Yeah, so, you know, this is what I’m not a huge fan of.
The electric fields are pretty high, 1500, 1600 volts per meter.
Let’s come out a little bit.
We’re still about a thousand, 800, 900.
Let’s come out a little bit more.
We’re still over 500.
So I can already tell as soon as I get in here, the body voltage is going to be kind of high.
I’m going to do my best to go further down the dome because that’s what a lot of people have asked.
If I’ve checked this sauna, you know, head to toe or however you want to say it.
And that can be pretty difficult, I would imagine.
So let’s split the dome and let’s take some electric field measurements, which we can’t see.
There we go.
Focus, focus.
Let’s see if I can get some.
That’s pretty good for being right next to the plug.
So it’s the heaters themselves that are giving off the electric fields.
It’s the carbon heaters in the dome.
It’s not the power.
So I was wrong about that earlier.
And you can see the difference.
I mean, I’m right on the cord.
And then if we go into the heater, you see the spikes.
So that’s where that’s coming from.
Those are electric fields.
Let’s check magnetic.
Magnetic is fairly high right next to the cord, but it’s going to drop off significantly where your body is.
Now let’s try.
That’s a little higher than I’d like to see.
Okay.
So we’re going to have to do something unorthodox here.
Obviously, this is not how you would use the sauna, but I’m going to go ahead and flip it up so that we can check it with the alpha labs.
Cause this is the only gauss meter that I really trust in this day and age.
And so, yeah, that’s a hundred milligauss there for a second.
Not what I’d like to see.
However, I’m right on the heater.
So let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and come out a couple inches.
So that’s a hot spot.
There’s obviously a connection there or something that’s going on behind there because the cable itself is less.
So let’s give it the benefit of the doubt and check it in other places.
Point five, point nine five.
I like to see that.
So it’s basically just this side.
There’s either the wiring is connecting to the heater back here or something.
Now let’s come out four inches or so, which is most likely point of body contact.
And we’ll go down.
I know this is shaky.
I know this isn’t the best, but this is really hard to test.
I can see why no one has done this up until this point.
So let’s go to the hot spot.
Let’s come out.
I mean, that’s a solid eight inches out from the heater.
I mean, we’re almost in the middle of the dome, so it’s not like…
Let’s see.
So it just depends.
I mean, it’s anywhere from one to two in the middle of the dome.
So I would say your shoulders or the width of your body would be over here.
Not the greatest, not the worst I’ve ever seen.
Let’s do that again on this one.
Don’t know why that’s so high.
Let’s check electric on this one.
So electric fields, 400 volts per meter.
Off the charts high.
A thousand.
Let’s double check.
The gigahertz.
Yeah, it’s going to be over a thousand.
So it’s 500 towards the middle of the dome, 300.
So let’s get me in there and find out.
Let’s double check everything with the actual body voltage levels and see what happens.
I’m going to put this back together and hop inside.
Now that I think about it, I should probably take this shirt off.
Sometimes YouTube randomly selects a thumbnail for videos, and I don’t want them to do that and people think that this is a certified sauna.
Based on the email levels that I’m seeing right now, it will not be a certified sauna.
But I am going to get in it and see.
Holy shit.
This is not really for big people.
So just so you guys know, you got to take my opinions on portable saunas with a grain of salt because I don’t really like portable saunas.
Doesn’t matter what the brand is.
It’s just, you know, it’s not for big people.
They’re not for big people.
So let’s do a little body voltage.
And yeah, that’s worse than I was thinking.
So we’re at 29 volts, which is 29,000 millivolts.
Hopefully I’m not changing it too much by moving it around, but I can’t see what that is, but hopefully you guys can see what it is.
It should be around 30,000 volts.
So compare that to the certified sauna list.
This is about 30 to 40 times higher, which is what we kind of want to avoid.
So now let’s do one thing.
I’m not going to move that, but I am going to turn off the sauna.
So I’ve turned off the sauna because we want to confirm that the body voltage is really coming from the sauna itself.
And so this happens sometimes.
I was just at 35, 36, but I’ve also got my arms in a different place and they’re draped over the heaters on the back of the heater.
So I’m going to move it back to where it was.
You guys will have to tell me what the measurements are.
28.
It’s starting to go down.
However, I would imagine that the body voltage levels are going to stay the same because the sauna is still connected to power.
So what I’m going to do is disconnect that.
If I can.
This is so hard.
I’m going to have to get out.
I’m butchering the test.
I like to have some type of a control.
I think you’re supposed to be able to slide this.
Yeah, I’m not using it right, am I?
You’re supposed to be able to slide that back and forth so that it’s easier to get in and out, which is still kind of weird to me.
I mean, whatever, right?
Yeah.
And let’s plug that in there so I can reach it and get back in.
And seal this up.
OK.
Now let’s see what we’ve got.
We’ve got about the same 30,000 millivolts or so.
Now let’s unplug the sauna completely and see how we’re doing.
That’s better.
We’ve got one and a half volts or so, about a thousand millivolts.
So the higher level is indeed, I mean, 30 times, 25 times the level that you see on the screen right now is being generated from the sauna in some fashion.
So either one of two things is happening.
Either I am missing some of the EMF somewhere in the sauna, and that’s why we do body voltage checks to make sure we see what the body is subjected to because, you know, there is an element of human error.
And so I don’t want people to think that people don’t make mistakes either.
People do.
So the reason to do body voltage as a backup test is to make sure that I’m not missing some electric field or some type of EMF in the sauna itself.
I don’t think I am, but I think I’m not hitting on all the hot spots because to get body voltage over 30,000 volts, it has to be pretty intense.
But one of the things with portable saunas, and the reason that they test so bad for EMFs most of the time, is because it’s the nature of the beast.
Usually in a wooden sauna, things aren’t so close to you.
When you’re in a dome like this, you’re laying on a pad that has power in it.
So if magnetic and electric fields aren’t mitigated, it’s going to be intensified because of the close proximity.
And then you’ve got the dome over the top.
And so it’s my opinion that this dome sauna has, it does in fact have, let me unplug this.
It does in fact have low magnetic fields on the panels.
It does not have electric fields mitigated.
There are some, I shouldn’t say that, there are some hot spots that are high enough to where the magnetic fields really should be mitigated better.
So personally, this is not a low EMF sauna to me.
This is not a certified sauna.
You will not find this on the certified sauna list.
And then there are some other things like, you know, these are going to be personal preference things.
There’s some stuff that I don’t personally like.
For instance, let’s zoom in here.
For me, I personally don’t like that type of particle board and stuff in the saunas.
It’s not to say that it’s toxic or any of that stuff, because those crazy people, you know, out there will say, you know, toxic.
But this is particle board and it’s painted black.
Not really my favorite.
I don’t know anything about the VOC testing for this sauna.
So I don’t want to speak out of turn about that.
The main thing is the body voltage levels are too high for me for it to be a certified sauna.
What else?
What else have people been asking?
People have been asking, you know, do I, are there any portable saunas, any of the domes that are low EMF?
To me, that’s not low EMF.
I mean, you can go back and read, but you have to do some research and understand exactly what we’re measuring, but it’s just not comfortable.
So I’m not a person that likes portable saunas because it’s just too hard for me to get in and out of.
But anyway, hopefully that helps somebody.
I know it wasn’t a comprehensive test, very difficult to do, but have a great day.
See you in the next one.
All right, let’s do another angle here.
I want to make sure that you guys can see the EMF measurements.
Just do a quick test and get some ambience, electric fields, double checking everything.
Let’s see.
So we’ve got 0.75, got hardly anything, and we’re in pretty good shape.
So let’s also take a preliminary body voltage measurement.
We’ve got about 0.9, which is pretty high, but keep in mind we’ve got a lot of wires and all kinds of stuff to hook this thing up.
So that has a lot to do with close proximity stuff.
And now let’s plug the sauna in and see what happens.
I’m hearing some clicking, but not severe clicking.
So let’s double check it, and we’ve got five volts with the sauna off.
We’ve got not much.
We’ve got some electric fields already showing up, just having the sauna plugged in.
So now let’s turn the sauna on.
Turn it up.
And let’s try that.
All right, now the meters are starting to get some action.
Let’s see what we’ve got.
Let’s check for magnetic fields first.
Pretty good, 0.5.
We do have some over here at the controller, which is 80, 90, but that’s normal.
Come off of it a little bit, we got four or five.
We got four or five in the sauna too, which is fairly high.
Magnetic fields are pretty high.
Not the best.
So this was just a way to double check.
I don’t even have my body in there, so we’ll double check the body voltage.
And we’re at 24,000 millivolts, so that’s pretty ridiculous really, without my whole body being in there.
You can watch the other video.
This was just a backup test with my body in there, and it’s even higher.
So there is no doubt that it makes you sweat.
It is getting hot.
However, this is not a low EMF sauna that most people are looking for.
You know, I don’t know.
It just depends on what you’re looking for.
