Who should buy which
Buyers prioritizing ultra-low EMF, lifetime warranty, and Jacuzzi-backed long-term support - particularly those installing in smaller rooms where EMF accumulates.
You want Mayo Clinic-cited heater research (go Sunlighten), or you need outdoor installation (Sun Home Luminar is the better fit).
Buyers with backyard space committing to a paired sauna and cold-plunge install from one vendor, who value outdoor visual impact and a weatherproof aluminum-and-steel build backed by a lifetime warranty.
You only have indoor space (look at the Sun Home Equinox, Sunlighten, or Clearlight), or you specifically want the deepest published research base (Sunlighten).
