Our Take
SaunaSpace Photon 3 is a near-infrared sauna in a vertical tent form factor, uses incandescent near-infrared bulbs (instead of carbon panel heaters) for a different IR delivery mechanism. Some users prefer the radiant heat from near-IR bulbs; others find the bulbs uncomfortably bright. The trade-off: significantly cheaper than a full cabin sauna, but the bulb-based heaters draw a lot of current.
Pros
- Near-infrared bulb heaters (vs panel heaters)
- Vertical tent form factor, tight footprint
- Lower entry cost than a cabin sauna
Cons
- Bright bulbs can be uncomfortable for some users
- Higher electrical draw (~1500W) than carbon panel saunas
