Description

The Sunlighten Amplify II is a two-person indoor full spectrum infrared cabin in basswood with five SoloCarbon far infrared panels and three full spectrum halogen heaters. The spec sheet gives 2,270 W in total, and it needs a dedicated 120 V 20 A circuit with a NEMA 5-20 outlet.

The brand rates it to 170°F "in ideal conditions", and the manual says the preset is the maximum setting. It measures 50.9 by 45.9 by 77.7 inches outside and 45.4 by 39.9 by 70.3 inches inside, and weighs about 456 lb.

A double-pane glass door, fabric heater covers, chromotherapy lights, a Bluetooth receiver, app control, a timer and a reservation mode come with it. Eucalyptus and Obsidian finishes cost $5,999.00 each on the same store. Backrests, cushions and comfort packages are sold separately.
