Sauna Lighting for the Perfect Atmosphere

Yes. All sauna lights in the Finnmark collection are specifically designed and engineered to withstand both heat and humidity, meeting rigorous Nordic sauna lighting standards. Most carry an IP65 rating or higher, ensuring reliable performance in the intense humidity and fluctuating temperatures of a genuine sauna. Our Ledify and SAAS sauna lights are tested to function safely at temperatures of up to 120 °C. However, as not all models are designed for the same placement, it’s important to always check the specification for each product to ensure suitability – some are intended for use lower in the sauna where temperatures are reduced.

Whether you select sauna spot lights, LED sauna strip lights, or wall-mounted fittings with a crafted shade, each product is built for safe, enduring use. Please check the specifications for individual products and follow installation instructions to ensure optimal performance.

While some experienced DIY builders may feel confident installing wall lights, corner lights, and LED sauna lights, we strongly recommend engaging a qualified electrician to guarantee both safety and compliance. This ensures the installation complies with safety standards for high-heat, high-humidity environments, and safeguards both the longevity and performance of your sauna lighting.

The driver you need for your sauna lights depends on the type and wattage of the lights, as well as the power supply. For LED sauna lights, choose a driver compatible with the total wattage of your lights and suitable for high-temperature environments. Ensure it matches the voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V) of your lights.

The power (W) of the driver can be calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) with amperes (A).

Example: 6.25A x 12V = 75W

If you want to install a 9.6W/m LED strip, divide the power of the driver by the power of the LED strip.

Example: 75W ÷ 9.6W/m = 7.81m (So you can connect 7m of 9.6W/m LED strip to a 75W driver.)

Always opt for a driver specifically designed for sauna use to ensure safety and reliability. Dimmable lights often require a TRIAC driver.

Yes, we provide specialised lights, controllers and dimmers, allowing you to adjust the ambiance to your preference. Not all of our standard sauna lights are dimmable, so please check the product description for dimming options and whether they apply.

In smaller saunas, lighting should open up the space without overwhelming it. Subtle spot lights or strip lights along the benches can create warmth and depth while maintaining an intimate atmosphere.

In larger saunas, layered lighting works well – combining small ceiling lights with strip lighting along bench lips or walls to accentuate key features and create a warm, inviting ambience. In all cases, choosing fixtures designed for high-heat, humid environments ensures they perform beautifully for years to come.
