Installation	It needs a dedicated 240 V, 20 A circuit and a NEMA 6-20R outlet for its 6-20P plug. Sunlighten tells you to book your electrician early so the outlet is ready on build day. Its FAQ says a power strip or converter voids the warranty. The warranty page also rules out extension cords and non-dedicated circuits. It requires at least 5 ft between the sauna and any source of water or vapor. The product page doesn't mention GFCI protection or clearance around the cabin. Freight arrives in two to three large boxes on a pallet, left in your garage or on a flat, paved driveway spot. The carrier calls first to schedule. The panels lock together with Magne-Seal corners, without screws or nails. Sunlighten says two people take about 2 to 3 hours. Its guides page has manuals and assembly guides for the standard Amplify II, III and IV, but none listed under Amplify RED.	It needs a dedicated 120 V, 20 A circuit and outlet.

Materials	Eucalyptus tongue-and-groove boards on solid wood framing, which Sunlighten calls sustainably sourced and non-toxic. Basswood and Obsidian finishes were marked not available for this model. One line on the page says its saunas are made of basswood, which conflicts with the eucalyptus selection. Sunlighten says the glue on its boards was third-party tested by Franklin International.	It's eucalyptus in Sunlighten's black Obsidian finish. Plain eucalyptus costs the same, and basswood is $200 less. It comes with a CELLIANT heater cover. Sunlighten says its eucalyptus is sustainably sourced. It also says the glue on the tongue-and-groove boards is non-toxic and was third-party tested by Franklin International.
Warranty	Sunlighten's warranty page groups Amplify with its other cabin saunas. For home use, the cabinet and heaters get 7 years, the controls 3 years, and the glass door and audio 1 year. Cabinetry includes benches, floor grates and heater cover frames. Controls include the control pad, in-sauna tablet and power box. Commercial use gets 5 years on the cabinet and heaters and 1 year on everything else. The cabin terms don't single out the red-light heaters. The general terms cover replacement parts only. Labor and technician costs aren't covered. You pay all freight, including on parts shipped for service. Coverage is for the original buyer only and ends if you sell the sauna. It's void on a power strip, extension cord, converter or non-dedicated circuit, or within 5 ft of water. Outdoors, the plastic sheet of the sauna cover (sold separately) must stay on at all times, even during sessions. The sauna must be bought and put into use within a year of its manufacture date. The page shows no version or effective date.	Sunlighten's warranty page groups Amplify with its other cabin saunas.
