A warm-white, dimmable strip rated for sauna heat – for a low, indirect glow under the bench.

Light does a lot of the work in a guided session. A bright overhead fixture keeps people chatting; a low, warm glow from under the bench makes a room go quiet on its own. This SuperlightingLED strip is built for that job: 16.4 ft (5 m) of 3000K warm-white LEDs in a silicone cover, rated IP68 and, per the maker, for temperatures from −13 to 212 °F (−25 to 100 °C).

It is not plug and play. The strip ends in bare wires and needs a 24 V DC power adapter of at least 60 W, which is not included; a dimmer is optional and also sold separately. It can be cut every 1.96 in (50 mm) to match the bench. Mind the 212 °F (100 °C) limit: the air under a sauna ceiling and above the heater can be hotter than that, so this is a light for low down – under the bench edge or behind a backrest.

Tip: Keep the power adapter and the dimmer outside the hot room, in a dry place, and have an electrician do or check the wiring – even at 24 V, a sauna is no place for improvised connections.
