New 295 nm UVB Wellness Lamp Designed Around a Wavelength Studied for Supporting the Body’s Natural Vitamin D Production
BERKELEY, CA. – October 8, 2026 –Clearlight®, The Original Red Light Infrared Sauna™, global industry leader and early pioneer of infrared sauna technology and integrated wellness solutions, today launched the SUN ONE® Wellness Lamp, a new medical-grade wellness solution that easily delivers UVB light for general health and wellness. SUN ONE adds UVB light into anyone’s daily routine and is especially useful for those who may not otherwise get enough time in the sun. SUN ONE is designed for use as a standalone wellness experience or integrated into your Clearlight infrared sauna session, along with Clearlight’s other wellness therapies such as red light therapy, halotherapy (salt), and aromatherapy. Stacking modalities optimizes the healing potential when these therapies are used together during a normal infrared sauna session.
The SUN ONE Wellness Lamp delivers targeted UVB light at 295 nanometers (“nm”), which is a wavelength range studied for its role in supporting the body’s natural production of vitamin D and healthy inflammatory responses. UVB light has also been widely studied in dermatology for its effects on skin and in connection with conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. Designed with precision LED technology and integrated safety features, SUN ONE makes targeted UVB light easy to incorporate into a modern wellness routine.
According to data from the National Institutes of Health and national health surveys, about 42% of U.S. adults are clinically deficient, while nearly two-thirds have overall insufficient levels.(1) It is estimated that over a billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient.(2) Vitamin D is a key component for building muscle, keeping bones healthy, and maintaining and optimizing immune function. While spending time outdoors can be a good source of Vitamin D, that option is not always available.
“Over the last 30 years, Clearlight has built its reputation by engineering and manufacturing the highest quality infrared saunas,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder of Clearlight. “We have spent the last decade researching, testing, and refining SUN ONE, and with its debut we can now offer a greater range of wavelengths along with our leading therapies, which include red light, salt, and aromatherapy, as well as other offerings for healing.”
Why Vitamin D Matters
Vitamin D has earned the nickname “the sunshine vitamin” for good reason. Unlike most vitamins, it’s primarily produced by the body itself, triggered when skin is exposed to certain wavelengths of ultraviolet B (UVB) light. While it can also be obtained through certain foods and supplements, sunlight remains the body’s most efficient natural source of vitamin D production. Vitamin D acts like a hormone in the body, regulating calcium absorption, bone mineralization, and immune function while also regulating protein synthesis, growth, and performance in skeletal muscles.
Precision Where It Matters Most
Unlike broader-spectrum devices on the market, SUN ONE uses advanced, narrow-band LEDs with a peak wavelength of 295 nm, the specific UVB wavelength most effective for supporting the body’s natural process of producing Vitamin D.
SUN ONE’s proprietary, patent-pending design uses solid-state UVB LED technology engineered around a precise 295 nm peak. The LEDs allow for a compact, rechargeable design and skip the ongoing cost of replacing fluorescent bulbs, so the wellness device is precise, long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free.
“SUN ONE provides the exact wavelengths that the body requires without producing adjacent UVB and UVA wavelengths that the older devices deliver,” noted Dr. Duncan.
Built for Safety and Simplicity SUN ONE was designed with guided, built-in safety features that make it very approachable for first-time users as well as experienced wellness enthusiasts to use at home or for business:
Distance sensor: alerts users if they are too close or too far away for a usable dose. This keeps every session in the optimal range
Skin-type selection with voice prompts, based on the Fitzpatrick Skin Type scale, automatically recommends the appropriate session according to the user’s skin type
Protective eyewear reminder: Voice reminder to always wear the protective eyeglasses included with the SUN ONE device
One-session-per-day design: safe, structured use rather than open-ended exposure
Portable and rechargeable: ergonomic handle with multi-position stand offers flexibility for tabletop/flat surface use or inside a Clearlight infrared sauna
Multiple languages: Instructions are audible and can be set for up to 10 different languages

Designed to Stack With the Clearlight Sauna Wellness Suite
SUN ONE was designed and engineered to work independently or inside a Clearlight Sauna. The articulating arm and rechargeable design make it easy to bring directly into a sauna session, allowing anyone to combine a SUN ONE session with their infrared sauna. The whole concept has evolved to allow the stacking of many therapies while in the sauna without requiring more time for each therapy to be enjoyed.
“We deeply understand how heat, light, cold, salt, aroma, and vibration work together as we’ve been doing this since the day we started,” said Dr. Duncan. “It’s the intentional layering of complementary modalities that produces a feeling of well-being. We built SUN ONE so people could add this remarkable therapy into their healing session, combining light and heat therapy to get more out of the time they’ve already set aside for their wellness routine.”

Featuring Leading Voices in Detoxification Science, including Infrared Sauna Pioneer Dr. Raleigh Duncan, the Film Reveals How Sauna Therapy Could Transform Modern Healthcare
BERKELEY, CA., and NEW YORK, NY – August 27, 2026 – A groundbreaking new documentary is set to reveal one of the most powerful yet overlooked healing methodologies in modern medicine: a therapeutic protocol that helped 9/11 survivors recover from catastrophic toxic exposure when conventional treatments failed.
More members of the New York City Fire Department have now died from illnesses linked to 9/11 than were killed on the day of the attack itself. According to the FDNY Foundation, more than 400 FDNY members have died from World Trade Center-related illnesses as of September 2025, surpassing the 343 FDNY members lost on September 11, 2001. This is a truly sobering reminder that the health toll of that day is still being counted a quarter-century later, and the backdrop against which “SWEAT: The Untold 9/11 Story” is making its case.
“SWEAT: The Untold 9/11 Story,” produced by Justin Glaser, author of the acclaimed book Sweat: Uncovering Your Body’s Hidden Superpower, investigates the comprehensive niacin-sauna detoxification protocol and its remarkable success in treating those exposed to the toxic aftermath of September 11, 2001.
Through intimate interviews with 9/11 survivors, leading toxicologists, medical doctors, and pioneering researchers, this compelling documentary explores:
The hidden crisis of environmental toxicity and its profound impact on neurological and physical health
Why sweat-induced detoxification represents a critical missing component in contemporary wellness approaches
The rigorous science validating sauna therapy now being embraced by medical innovators, performance scientists, and longevity experts worldwide
A Paradigm Shift for Preventative Medicine “The implications of this protocol extend far beyond helping 9/11 responders—it represents a fundamental shift in how we might approach chronic illness, environmental medicine, and mental health treatment,” explains Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson, a prominent environmental medicine specialist featured in the film. “We’re witnessing the revitalization of an evidence-based approach that challenges our current healthcare paradigm.”

Newly Published Paper Explores the Relationship Between Heat Exposure, Thermoregulation, and Alzheimer’s Disease Resilience
BERKELEY, CA.,—July 15, 2026—Emerging research is shining new light on the potential relationship between thermoregulation, which is the body’s ability to regulate temperature, and long-term brain health. A newly published paper authored by researchers affiliated with University of Montpellier, University of Laval, Washington University and NYU Grossman School of Medicine explored how lifelong heat exposure may contribute to resilience against Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative conditions.
The paper, titled: “Lifelong heat exposure as a potential contributor to Alzheimer’s disease resilience,” was authored by Dr. Geoffrey Canet and colleagues, and published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. The findings examined the extraordinary case of an individual carrying a rare genetic mutation that would almost inevitably lead to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease but who, despite exhibiting a high amyloid burden, maintained cognitive function and displayed only limited tau pathology. Researchers identified lifelong occupational heat exposure as one possible contributing factor warranting further scientific exploration.
As part of ongoing research investigating thermoregulation and tauopathy risk factors, Clearlight® Sanctuary™ 2 infrared saunas,manufactured byClearlight®, the industry leader in infrared sauna and pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, were selected for use in the home-based portion of a clinical research project led by co-author Dr. Esther Blessing, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She and Dr. Emmanuel Planel, a pioneer in the study of how sauna range temperatures affect cellular pathways involved in Alzheimer’s disease, and Dr. Canet are leading efforts to understand how thermal treatments can prevent disease development.
The paper adds to a growing body of scientific interest surrounding the connection between heat exposure, circadian biology, sleep quality, metabolic health, and neurological resilience. Researchers explored how elevated body temperature may help support the body’s natural cellular repair and protein-clearing processes, including mechanisms associated with “proteostasis” or the body’s own ability to manage and clear proteins such as tau, which can accumulate abnormally in neurodegenerative disease.
“We are in the early stages of understanding how thermoregulation and body temperature rhythms influence our brain health and resilience against neurodegenerative disease,” said Dr. Blessing. “This area of research is opening up important scientific questions about how heat exposure may interact with our sleep, metabolism, and cellular pathways associated with healthy aging. Precision methods for delivering and timing thermal treatments are essential to advancing our understanding together with advancing clinical treatment. ”
Researchers selected Clearlight Sanctuary 2 infrared saunas for their ability to provide a controlled, and consistent heat exposure within a wellness setting as part of the study’s broader exploration into thermoregulation and neurological health.
“For nearly three decades, our team at Clearlight has been committed to advancing the science of infrared and other key wellness modalities, and to supporting researchers who are exploring the critical role of heat in human health,” said Clearlight Founder and CEO, Dr. Raleigh Duncan, an early pioneer in infrared sauna innovation and aDoctor of Chiropractic. Dr. Duncan is widely recognized for his expertise in infrared therapy and as a leading contributor to technologies that support healing the human body. “We are encouraged to see leading academic researchers investigating how thermoregulation and heat exposure may contribute to healthy aging and our overall wellness. Supporting evidence-informed research like this is a vital part of our mission.”
Importantly, while researchers emphasized that the study does not establish that infrared sauna use prevents, treats, or cures Alzheimer’s disease or any other medical condition, the findings do contribute to an emerging scientific conversation around heat exposure, thermoregulation, long-term cognitive resilience and preventative wellness.
