Sun Home Luminar 2-person vs 5-person outdoor infrared sauna
Both Luminar models are the same kind of sauna in two sizes. The real differences are floor space, the circuit you need and about $2,900 at current sale prices. Here is how the published specs compare.

What actually differs
- Footprint: the depth is nearly the same. The 5-person is about 25 inches wider, so measure the width of your spot first.
- Electrical: the 2-person needs a 20A circuit and the 5-person a 30A circuit, both 240V. Ask a licensed electrician what your panel can take before you choose.
- Weight: only 100 lb apart. Both need a level, solid surface.
- Price gap: about $2,900 at the current sale prices.
Which one?
| If you… | Look at |
|---|---|
| Will mostly use it alone or as a pair | Luminar 2-Person |
| Want room for family or friends at once | Luminar 5-Person |
| Have a tight spot or a 20A circuit | Luminar 2-Person |
Sun Home lists an optional red light therapy add-on for either model at $1,699.
Delivery and setup
Both arrive on a pallet at the curb. Sun Home says to plan on about half a day for two people to assemble one, and you need a plan for moving roughly 1,000 lb of panels to the site.
Health note. Sauna heat isn't right for everyone. If you're pregnant, have a heart condition or another health concern, talk to your doctor before you start.
