Luminar Outdoor Sauna Information

Luminar™ Outdoor Sauna Information

Congratulations on the purchase of your new sauna. The Luminar Outdoor models are without a doubt the best outdoor infrared saunas on the market and will provide you with a lifetime of wellness. 

Below contains important information regarding weather restrictions and your outdoor sauna. 
 

The Sun Home Luminar sauna requires at least 2 people to assist with receiving the shipment.

If the sauna cannot be unpacked right away, the crate must be stored indoors or in a dry, covered area to protect it from precipitation and moisture. Exposure to the elements can cause damage, and unfortunately, we cannot be held liable for issues resulting from the crate being left uncovered in unsuitable conditions.
Taking these precautions will help ensure the sauna remains in excellent condition until you are ready to assemble it. If you have any questions or need assistance with storage or assembly, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope you enjoy your sauna experience!

It is also very important to note that the delivery arrives on a large pallet curbside, so please ensure you have multiple people present at time of delivery to accept the package. The freight company will de-load the pallet from the truck and place curbside for you but will not bring the pallet into your driveway or home so we recommend having multiple people available to transport the pieces into your desired location. 

Once the sauna is on the ground, you'll be responsible for moving the sauna pieces to where you want to install it. Luckily, most sauna pieces are light enough for 1-2 people to carry. To make things easier, we recommend having at least 2-4 helpers and a dolly or cart to move the heavier pieces.

Below are the dimensions of the Luminar 5 and Luminar 2 pallets: 

 

1) The outdoor infrared saunas are rated to stand up to about a foot of snow only. Please ensure snow is removed from the base and roof of the sauna. 
 
2) The sauna needs to be placed where there is never standing water, so building it directly onto dirt or grass is not recommended but up to your discretion. We recommend an elevated concrete or wood base if possible. 
 
3) Naturally, sauna heaters will take longer to reach optimal temperature in climates where the outside ambient temperature is 40°F or lower. In such conditions, allow approximately 60 minutes for the sauna to reach your desired temperature and keep your protective cover on to help trap heat. Please expect reduced heat near the floor in these circumstances, this is normal. To ensure optimal performance and prevent potential damage or safety hazards, ensure that snow does not accumulate on the roof, around the base, or near the sauna. Using the included premium cover will provide additional insulation and decrease the time it takes to reach your selected temperature. 

4) All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified and licensed electrician with complete knowledge of local codes and regulations. Costs of hiring an electrician can vary greatly depending on several factors such as your sauna’s distance from your electrical service box, the state you live in, and the cost of materials. We recommend you get quotes from 2 to 3 different licensed electricians before you begin the installation. The heater requires 240V power and is equipped with a NEMA plug for your convenience.
5) The freight delivery is CURBSIDE only - they will not bring the pallet to your door. Please be prepared for this.

6) We recommend cleaning the inside of your sauna regularly to keep it looking and working its best. Never use chemicals inside your sauna! They can damage the wood and you may breathe them in when the sauna heats up. 

7) After you’ve used the sauna, wipe up and perspiration with a dry towel and leave the door open so the inside can dry out. At regular intervals give the interior a sweep or vacuum. If you notice stains from dirt or perspiration, use warm water and gently scrub the spots, or a low-pressure washer with a wide-pattern nozzle and spray the spots. You can also buff away stubborn stains and scuffs with a piece of fine-grit sandpaper.

8) This product may cause excessive happiness - proceed with caution.
