Description
Professional-Grade Sauna Lighting Made DIY-Friendly
Create the perfect atmosphere with lighting designed to last — and built to code.
Every component is engineered for extreme heat and humidity, delivering soft, even illumination where most LEDs can’t keep up.
Why This Kit Exists
Many standard LED strips are rated only to 60 °C and may fail prematurely in saunas or steam rooms.
Poor thermal transfer and trapped moisture often cause flickering or early failure.
This kit solves that problem — providing a complete, inspection-ready system built with ULC-recognized components and rated for high-temperature, high-humidity applications.

🚫 Power supply installs outside the hot room
Ideal Applications
- Under benches → warm floating glow
- Behind backrests → soft indirect illumination
- Change rooms and cool-down spaces
- Steam rooms and showers (IP67 waterproof)
Tip: To maximize lifespan, avoid mounting near heater elements or high ceiling zones.
What’s Included
- 16.4 ft (5 m) COB LED strip (3 W/ft, cuttable)
- 24 V DC 60 W 5-in-1 dimmable driver (Triac, ELV, 0–10 V, 1–10 V, PWM compatible)
- Silicone mounting clamps & stainless screws
- 2 silicone end caps for sealing trimmed strips
- Installation guide
- 7-Year Driver Warranty + 3-Year Limited LED Strip Warranty (when installed as recommended)
What You’ll Need (Not Included)
To ensure full lifespan and warranty coverage, mount the LED strip to a thermally conductive heat-sink surface to dissipate heat.
Common options include aluminum channels, flat bars, or metal surfaces with ½″ thermal transfer tape.
Avoid mounting directly to wood or other insulating materials.
You may also need:
- 2-conductor low-voltage cable (24 V DC), in-wall rated as applicable
- Low-voltage junction block if extending wiring
Installation Notes
- Mount each strip to a thermally conductive surface using thermal tape.
- Power supply must be installed outside the hot room (change room or mechanical space).
- Run 24 V DC low-voltage wire to each strip (one 16.4 ft run per driver).
- Keep LED strips away from heater elements and high ceiling zones.
- Seal cut ends to maintain IP67 rating.
- Electrician required for 120 V AC connection.

Most sauna lighting kits aren’t built to withstand true sauna heat.
This one uses rated components designed and tested for that environment.
Why It Costs More (and Lasts Longer)
Many lighting kits are cheaper upfront — but they fail within months in sauna conditions.
This kit uses high-temperature-rated components, continuous COB lighting, and ULC-recognized parts, ensuring years of consistent performance.
Your investment isn’t just for brighter light — it’s for peace of mind.
No rewiring. No replacements. No flickering.
Just reliable, beautiful light built to last.
When safety, longevity, and craftsmanship matter, this isn’t a cost — it’s a long-term solution.
FAQ
Q: Can I power multiple LED strips from one driver?
A: The included 60 W driver is sized for one 16.4 ft strip (≈ 48 W load). For larger installs, use additional drivers or a higher-capacity 24 V model. These are available. Contact us for custom sizing if you intend to use more than 16.4 ft of total lighting.
Q: What does “5-in-1 dimmable” mean?
A: It means the driver supports five dimming protocols — Triac (forward phase), ELV (reverse phase), 0–10 V, 1–10 V, and PWM — making it compatible with most lighting control systems.
Q: Can the power supply go inside the sauna?
A: No. Always install the driver outside the hot room and run low-voltage 24 V DC wiring to the strips.
Q: Do I have to use an aluminum channel?
A: Not necessarily — mount the LED strip to any thermally conductive heat-sink surface (aluminum bar, metal panel, or similar) using thermal transfer tape for best results.
