This May, Finnish spa and wellness engineering company Cariitti Oy will launch Sauna Ultra Ambient, a new type of LED strip designed specifically for saunas.

“We created Sauna Ultra Ambient to offer a reliable and durable LED lighting solution for saunas,” explained Peter Ruokonen, CEO and owner of Cariitti Oy.

“The new lighting system will be capable of withstanding temperatures between -40 and + 125°C and drastic temperature fluctuations within saunas.”

Sauna Ultra Ambient has been designed and tested for sauna use, even for the sauna ceiling where it’s traditionally been difficult to have any long-lasting LED lighting solution.

Available in side- and top-lighting models, the flexible strips will be cut and finished to the desired size. They will be manufactured in either a 2- or 6-metre strip ready for installation.

As well as saunas, the LED lighting solution will be able to be used to illuminate terrace edges, outdoor stairs, outdoor railings and any furnishings that need to withstand large temperature fluctuations.

The new LED lighting product will be the first of two new Cariitti Oy products launched in May as the company has announced plans to launch the wall-mounted Eclipse sauna light, powered by Sauna Ultra Ambient lighting.

The new decorative circular luminaire will include a set of three 20-, 23.5- and 26.5 cm diameter lights. The trio of lights will be covered in Finnish birch plywood and available with either a Hemlock or Birch top veneer.
