Sun Home Eclipse™ 2-Person Red Light & Infrared Sauna Review

Is This More Than a Sauna?

A home sauna can already feel like a major purchase. Add full-spectrum heat, red light therapy, smartphone controls, and a lifetime warranty, and it becomes even harder to tell which features matter to you and which ones are simply expensive extras.

You may be asking practical questions. Does the Eclipse heat evenly? Can two adults sit comfortably? Is the red light therapy documented well enough to justify the price? And can you install a 600-pound cabin without turning the project into a headache?

For this Sun Home Eclipse™ 2-Person Red Light & Infrared Sauna Review, I compared the supplied specifications with customer feedback and independent research. I’ll explain what the product appears to do well, where the information is inconsistent, and who might be better served by a simpler sauna.

Product Overview

The Sun Home Eclipse 2-Person Red Light & Infrared Sauna is an indoor sauna combining full-spectrum infrared heat, far infrared panels, and integrated red light therapy. It is made from Canadian Hemlock according to the detailed specifications supplied for this model.

The product page displays a 4.9 out of 5 rating based on 29 reviews. The review section supplied for this article shows 27 reviews at 4.8 stars, so the displayed rating and review count may change; check the live page before publishing the final figures.

The Eclipse is designed for two people, but its 42.8-inch interior length and 42.2-inch interior depth make it a compact cabin. Several reviewers said two adults fit, while others noted that the interior can feel tight or that assembly requires more help than expected.

Infrared heaters: Six far infrared heaters and two full-spectrum infrared heaters.
Red light: 360 medical-grade LEDs using 650nm and 850nm wavelengths, with two 900W panels according to the listing.
Temperature range: 0-165°F.
Wood: Canadian Hemlock in the supplied specifications, although one page summary describes Canadian Red Cedar. Confirm the exact finish with Sun Home.
Controls: Smartphone app, remote operation, and guided breathwork content.
Audio: Built-in Bluetooth surround sound system.
Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty on heaters and cabinet, according to the product information.

Features and Practical Benefits

Full-Spectrum and Far Infrared Heating

The Eclipse uses six far infrared heaters on the side walls, calves, and floor, plus two full-spectrum heaters on the back wall. This gives the cabin multiple heating zones rather than relying on a single rear panel.

The practical benefit is coverage. Heat from the floor and calf areas may be useful if your legs and feet often feel left out of smaller infrared cabins, while the back-wall panels provide direct heat behind you.

One reviewer said the heaters felt powerful and distributed heat evenly. Another reported that the sauna reached its promised high temperature, unlike other units they had tried that fell short.

Independent evidence supports the idea that far infrared heat can affect circulation, temperature regulation, and post-exercise recovery, but the research is not a guarantee of a particular result from this model. A small study published in PMC found that far infrared sauna exposure appeared favorable for recovery after endurance exercise, but its sample size was only ten healthy people.

Integrated Red Light Therapy

The Eclipse includes 360 LEDs at 650nm and 850nm wavelengths. These fall within the red and near-infrared ranges commonly studied in photobiomodulation, a term for using specific light wavelengths to influence cellular activity.

This may appeal to you if you want to combine heat exposure with a separate red light routine. Several customers said they enjoyed the red light panels for recovery, appearance, or general wellness.

However, the product information does not state the irradiance, dose, treatment distance, or exposure time for the red light panels. Without those measurements, you cannot determine whether the system delivers the same dose used in a clinical study.

Research on photobiomodulation is promising in some skin and recovery applications, but outcomes depend on wavelength, power density, distance, and treatment schedule. A systematic review of photobiomodulation shows why those technical details matter.

Low-EMF Testing

Sun Home states that the Eclipse was independently tested by Vitatech Electromagnetics and measured below 1.0 milligauss at seated distance. That is more useful than a vague “low EMF” label because it identifies both a test provider and a measurement location.

Even so, ask for the complete report if EMF is a primary buying factor. Find out whether the reading is an average or maximum, what frequency range was tested, and whether it was measured with every heating and lighting function operating.

Low EMF does not mean zero EMF, and it does not by itself establish that the sauna is medically safer for every user.

Canadian Hemlock Construction

The detailed specifications identify Canadian Hemlock as the wood type. Hemlock usually has a lighter appearance and a milder aroma than cedar, which may suit you if strong wood scents are distracting or irritating.

There is one inconsistency in the supplied product information: a key-takeaways section refers to Canadian Red Cedar, while the specifications state Canadian Hemlock. Ask Sun Home which wood is used in the exact Eclipse configuration you will receive.

The smooth wood finish and enclosed design received positive comments from customers who wanted the sauna to fit into a basement or home gym.

Smartphone App and Breathwork

The app allows remote operation and preheating. That could make the sauna easier to use after work or exercise because you can start warming it before entering the room.

Customers generally liked the remote control, but one reviewer said app pairing was tricky. Another appreciated the app’s relaxation content and the ability to listen to guided audio inside the cabin.

Because the app is part of the experience, confirm that the current version supports your phone and that basic sauna controls still work if app connectivity fails.

Bluetooth Surround Sound

Bluetooth audio lets you play music, podcasts, and meditation tracks through the built-in speakers. The feature could help you stay relaxed during a longer session without bringing an external speaker into the hot cabin.

Reviewers generally praised the sound system, although one customer found Bluetooth touchy. Keep your smartphone outside the sauna unless Sun Home confirms that it can safely tolerate the cabin temperature.

Weight and dimensions:

Exterior dimensions: 51.5 inches long x 47.2 inches deep x 76.7 inches high.
Interior dimensions: 42.8 inches long x 42.2 inches deep x 71.5 inches high.
Weight: 600 pounds.
Temperature range: 0-165°F.
Electrical requirement: 120 volts, 2,820 watts, 23.5 amps.
Plug: NEMA L5-30P.
Cord length: 9 feet.
Recommended clearance: 4-6 inches around the sauna and 12-14 inches above the roof.
Seating capacity: Two people.

The electrical specifications need special attention. The listing mentions a 120V/20A dedicated circuit in one section but also lists 2,820 watts, 23.5 amps, and a NEMA L5-30P plug elsewhere. Those details do not align neatly, so confirm the exact circuit and outlet requirements with Sun Home or a qualified electrician before ordering.

Pros and Cons

The Eclipse offers more technology than a basic infrared sauna, but its price and installation requirements make accuracy important. A small specification mismatch can become an expensive problem after delivery.

Things We Liked:

Combines far infrared, full-spectrum infrared, and integrated red light therapy.
Six FIR heaters and two full-spectrum heaters provide multiple heat zones.
Red light panels use 650nm and 850nm wavelengths commonly studied in photobiomodulation.
Independent seated-distance EMF testing is stated in the product information.
Remote app control can make preheating more convenient.
Bluetooth surround sound and guided breathwork add useful relaxation features.
Limited lifetime warranty is stronger on paper than many shorter sauna warranties.
Customers frequently praise build quality, appearance, heating power, and support.

Things We Didn’t Like:

Electrical specifications conflict between 20 amps and 23.5 amps, and the NEMA plug requires confirmation.
The supplied product details conflict on Hemlock versus Red Cedar construction.
Two adults may fit closely inside the compact cabin.
At 600 pounds, delivery and assembly require planning and help.
Some reviewers wanted a simpler user guide and clearer function documentation.
The red light listing does not provide irradiance or dose information.

Verdict

The Eclipse could be a strong choice if you specifically want integrated red light therapy and full-spectrum heat in one premium cabin. I would not place an order until Sun Home clarifies the electrical requirements, wood type, warranty terms, and red-light dosing information.

Who Is This Product For?

The Eclipse might suit someone who wants more than heat alone and is willing to pay for integrated red light therapy, full-spectrum infrared, app control, and a premium cabin. It could also fit a couple who will use the sauna together occasionally but does not need a spacious commercial-style interior.

People interested in combining sauna heat with red light therapy.
Home gym users who want remote preheating and guided relaxation content.
Buyers who value a long warranty and responsive support.
Users with enough space and help to install a 600-pound cabin.
Less suitable for buyers who want a simple plug-in sauna, a large two-person interior, or completely documented red-light dosing.

What Customers Say

Customer feedback is strongly positive, with the supplied product page showing a 4.9 rating based on 29 reviews. Owners often praise the powerful heat, red light panels, appearance, comfortable seating, app control, and Sun Home’s customer service.

The main concerns are limited but important. Reviewers mention difficult or heavy assembly, touchy Bluetooth pairing, damaged shipping parts, unclear documentation, and a close fit for two adults.

One owner said the heat and red light were outstanding, while the app and Bluetooth performed well. They wanted better documentation explaining all the functions.
Another customer praised the red light, strong heat, comfortable seat backs, and remote preheating. They said assembly needed help and the Bluetooth connection could be sensitive.
A reviewer reported a stripped door handle screw and difficulty getting a replacement part, although the rest of the experience was positive.
One buyer said the sauna was easy to assemble with two people and provided even heat, attractive lighting, and a good sound system.
Another customer said the sauna took longer to heat than expected but liked using the red light and running it at the same time as the infrared system.
A reviewer said the walls were heavy and difficult to grip during assembly. They also wanted a simple user guide for operating all the features.
One customer described shipping damage to several parts but praised Sun Home for sending replacements and maintaining communication throughout the repair process.

FAQ and Additional Tips

How much does the Eclipse cost?
The price may change with promotions, delivery charges, and optional service or accessories. Check the official Eclipse product page for the current price and available options.

What electrical circuit does it require?
The supplied information is inconsistent. One section says 120V/20A, while the specifications list 120 volts, 2,820 watts, 23.5 amps, and a NEMA L5-30P plug. Ask Sun Home for the exact circuit, receptacle, and installation requirements for the current Eclipse 2 model before hiring an electrician.

Is it a full-spectrum infrared sauna?
Yes, the listing describes two full-spectrum heaters on the back wall and six far infrared heaters elsewhere in the cabin. Full-spectrum refers to near, mid, and far infrared ranges, but the listing does not provide detailed wavelength output or independent performance data for each heater.

Does it include red light therapy?
The product details describe 360 LEDs using 650nm and 850nm wavelengths. Ask whether the red light panels are included in the base price or whether any specific therapy modes require an additional purchase.

Is the red light therapy clinically proven?
Photobiomodulation has promising research in certain skin, pain, and recovery applications, but results depend on dosage, irradiance, distance, and treatment time. Because the supplied listing does not provide irradiance or dose figures, it is not possible to compare the Eclipse directly with clinical protocols.

Can two people use it comfortably?
The sauna is rated for two people, but the interior measures 42.8 inches long by 42.2 inches deep. Several reviewers said two adults fit closely, while others found the seating comfortable. If you want room to stretch, a larger model may be a better fit.

What is the warranty?
The supplied information describes a limited lifetime warranty on the heaters and cabinet. Confirm whether the warranty covers red light LEDs, app hardware, Bluetooth components, glass, labor, shipping, and normal wear before buying.

How difficult is assembly?
The process is manageable with help, but the 600-pound weight and heavy wall panels make it more demanding than a typical flat-pack cabinet. Have at least one strong helper, clear the installation route, and assemble it where it will remain.

How should I use the sauna safely?
Start with a shorter session at a moderate heat setting, drink water, and leave if you feel dizzy, weak, nauseated, confused, or unusually short of breath. Avoid alcohol before or during use.

Heat exposure can affect blood pressure and hydration. If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, kidney disease, or use medication that affects sweating or fluid balance, consult a healthcare professional before regular use.

Do sauna sessions burn hundreds of calories?
The product page promotes that claim, but sweating is not the same as substantial fat loss. Any temporary weight change after a hot session is largely fluid, and sauna use should not replace exercise or nutrition.

Do sauna studies prove dementia prevention?
Some observational Finnish studies found an association between frequent traditional sauna use and lower dementia risk. Those findings do not prove that this infrared sauna prevents dementia, and they do not establish cause and effect.

Final Verdict

My conclusion from this Sun Home Eclipse™ 2-Person Red Light & Infrared Sauna Review is that the Eclipse offers an appealing combination of red light therapy, full-spectrum and far infrared heating, remote app control, Bluetooth audio, and premium support. Its main weaknesses are the conflicting electrical and wood specifications, the absence of red-light dose data, the heavy installation, and limited space for two adults.

If Sun Home confirms the technical details and your room and electrical system can handle the installation, this might be worth considering for a combined heat-and-light wellness routine. If you mainly want a straightforward sauna, a less complex model could provide better value and fewer setup questions.
