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.”
Backed by Industry Leaders in Wellness Technology Clearlight® Infrared Saunas and Wellness Solutions (“Clearlight®”), the global industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health and wellness solutions, has joined as the documentary’s primary sponsor, furthering its mission to advance evidence-based wellness solutions. Ongoing Support for First Responders
Clearlight is proud to support first responders by offering wellness resources, retrofitting fire stations, and conducting scientific research for their long-term wellness. UCSF is currently using the Clearlight Curve® Far Infrared Sauna Dome to study the effects of infrared heating on detoxifying endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and mycotoxins. Clearlight’s dedicated resource page is available at infraredsauna.com/commercial/infrared-saunas-firefighters. The resource offers educational tools, discounts, and wellness initiatives for first responders, including a free ebook on infrared sauna therapy: [PDF Ebook: Clearlight Infrared Saunas for Fire Fighters: Using Infrared Saunas to Safeguard Your Health & Detoxification].
“At Clearlight, we’ve spent nearly 30 years studying how the body heals itself when you give it the right environment, which includes heat, sweat, and time,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder of Clearlight and pioneer in infrared sauna technology, who appears in the documentary alongside the film’s featured toxicologists and researchers. “What happened with the 9/11 responders wasn’t a miracle; it was physiology: sustained infrared heat mobilizes toxins that get locked away in fat tissue and lets our bodies do what they’re built to do. This documentary puts on screen what we’ve believed at Clearlight since day one, and that is that sweat isn’t just detox; it’s one of the most powerful healing tools our bodies have.”

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.

The introduction of the Clearlight Plunge brings cold therapy into this wellness and recovery ecosystem, enabling thoughtfully designed contrast protocols that further support recovery, resilience, performance, and other key benefits.
“When heat, cold, and light are designed to work together, the body responds more efficiently. The Clearlight Plunge completes this equation,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Founder of Clearlight, who is widely recognized as one of the most significant contributors to technologies for healing the human body and as a leader in advancing the wellness industry.“We know you’re investing your time, which is one of the most valuable commodities we have, so by having complementary wellness modalities, we up the healing potential for your body.”
The Ultimate Contrast Therapy Companion
Unlike standalone ice baths, the Clearlight Plunge is designed and engineered to complement Clearlight’s infrared saunas and award-winning red light therapy systems, both aesthetically and physiologically. Built with a Stainless Steel basin and Canadian Cedar exterior, the Clearlight Plunge reflects the same top-quality craftsmanship, enduring durability, safety, warranty, efficacy, and premium aesthetic for which Clearlight is known.
The Clearlight® Plunge features a 36°F to 104°F temperature range, integrated ozone sanitation with dual filtration, and SmartLife app control (IOS & Android) for effortless operation. The insulated lid helps maintain thermal efficiency and water cleanliness.

The Clearlight Plunge is a seamless addition to your wellness space as it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Simply fill it, plug it in, set the temperature, and plunge.
Its ergonomic design includes a natural seated position, eliminating buoyancy issues. Additionally, it can accommodate one or two people, with an optional removable seat available for purchase. The Clearlight Plunge depth allows for full-body immersion and comfort, supporting consistent and effective cold exposure. “Cold therapy should never feel like punishment; rather, like all wellness solutions, it should feel purposeful and a part of your overall health routine,” added Duncan.
The Science Behind Contrast Therapy
“When paired with Clearlight infrared sauna heat and red light therapy, cold exposure becomes part of a larger recovery protocol which is designed to support both physical performance and nervous system regulation,” Duncan noted.
Research shows that regular cold plunging has health benefits, including:
Better Sleep: Encourages parasympathetic nervous system activation which helps with deeper rest and recovery. Immune System Support: May stimulate white blood cells and enhance immune function.
Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow by causing vasoconstriction during immersion and vasodilation afterward.
Mental Clarity and Focus: Boosts norepinephrine and dopamine, sharpening alertness and improving mood.
Metabolic Boost: Activates brown fat, increasing calorie burn and improving metabolic efficiency.
Muscle Recovery: Reduces inflammation and soreness by constricting blood vessels and flushing out metabolic waste.
Pain Relief: Triggers endorphin release, acting as a natural analgesic.

At Clearlight®, we’ve been leading doctor-designed, science-backed wellness and crafting a fully integrated experience for the past three decades, one where every modality works together.
Tomorrow morning (Weds, 3.25.26), we complete the puzzle because something very COOL is launching!
Costa Mesa, CA. —March 8—Perspire Sauna Studio, the nation’s leading infrared sauna and red-light therapy franchise, announced the launch of Clearlight® HALO ONE® Halotherapy across its entire franchise system nationwide.
Halotherapy derived from the Greek word halos, meaning salt is the controlled inhalation of pure sodium chloride (NaCl) particles in a wellness setting. The modality is designed to mimic the microclimate of natural salt caves and has historically been explored as a complementary therapy for respiratory support.
At Perspire Sauna Studio, Halotherapy treatment is administered through Clearlight’s HALO ONE® technology, a compact halogenerator placed directly inside the studio’s infrared saunas. The device actively breaks pharmaceutical-grade salt into microscopic particles and disperses them into the air. Guests inhale the concentrated salt in the air while enjoying the benefits of an infrared sauna and red light therapy experience.
“Perspire has always focused on making science-backed wellness accessible and intentional,” said Lee Braun, Founder and CEO of Perspire Sauna Studio. “The addition of Halotherapy across our entire system deepens the value of each session by supporting respiratory wellness and further promoting relaxation.”
“We thoroughly enjoy working with Lee Braun, his entire team and the wonderful franchise owners at Perspire; and we share the same vision when it comes to healing people,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, Founder and CEO, Clearlight. “At Clearlight, layering wellness therapies, i.e., combining infrared heat, red light therapy, halotherapy (salt therapy), and other modalities, to maximize the health benefits in a single session is the real secret to elevating your daily health routine. Adding our HALO ONE ® to any Perspire sauna session makes a great deal of sense as it maximizes the therapeutic effects in the same amount of time as a standard infrared sauna session.”
What Is Halotherapy? Halotherapy involves breathing in fine salt particles in a controlled environment. Emerging research has explored its use as a complementary wellness modality for adults with common colds, bronchitis, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory concerns. The latest studies suggest halotherapy may help improve breathing comfort and mucus clearance, contributing to enhanced respiratory function and overall well-being.
Halotherapy may be particularly appealing for individuals managing seasonal allergies, common colds, or respiratory congestion, as well as those seeking a complementary approach to their overall wellness routine.
Unlike traditional salt rooms or standalone salt caves, Perspire integrates Halotherapy directly into its infrared sauna environment. This pairing allows guests to experience:
Infrared heat, which gently raises core temperature and supports circulation
Red-light therapy, which promotes relaxation and cellular support
HALO ONE® salt dispersal, designed to support respiratory comfort
Each halotherapy session is delivered via a Halotherapy device within the sauna. When the HALO ONE® is activated, the sauna temperature is set around 140°F to ensure optimal experience conditions. Guests may notice sensations such as sinus drainage, or increased mucus clearance, which are expected physiological responses associated with salt inhalation.
While research continues to develop, leading health organizations categorize halotherapy as a complementary therapy and recommend consulting with healthcare providers before incorporating it into wellness routines.
“Our goal is to create a wellness destination where guests can build sustainable habits,” Braun added. “Halotherapy strengthens our commitment to offering modalities that support people to feel balanced, clear and restored.”
The systemwide rollout of Halotherapy marks another step in Perspire’s continued innovation strategy. With nearly 100 studios open nationwide and continued franchise development underway, the brand remains focused on elevating the in-studio experience while maintaining consistency across its franchise network.
Clearlight® is the global pioneer and industry leader in infrared sauna technology, red light therapy, and wellness solutions for nearly 30 years.
