Sauna Twins Podcast Episode #29: Walter Langstedt (SAAS Instruments) | Finnmark Sauna

On the 29th episode of The Sauna Twins podcast, hosted by Jake and Max Newport, we welcome Walter Långstedt, Export Sales Manager at Saas Instruments Oy, a Helsinki-based, family-owned lighting manufacturer that's been perfecting the art and science of illumination since 1978.While many focus on timber, heaters, and insulation when building a sauna, lighting remains one of the most underestimated elements of authentic sauna design. Yet for those who've experienced a truly well-lit sauna, the difference is unmistakable. The right lighting doesn't just help you see – it fundamentally shapes the atmosphere, influences your relaxation, and enhances the entire ritual.Walter brings a uniquely Finnish perspective to this conversation. Growing up in a culture where winter darkness stretches for months, and summer light barely fades, the people at SAAS understand light as something precious, almost sacred. This isn't about lumens and colour temperatures alone – it's about understanding how light affects wellbeing at the deepest level.In This Episode:- Walters' Journey into Saas, and his passion for lighting and sauna.- How specialist sauna lighting differs from standard fixtures.- Saas’s commitment to sustainable, long-lasting design.- Choosing the right illumination for your sauna space.- What 'Made in Helsinki since 1978' really means.As always, Jake and Max, along with the rest of the Finnmark Sauna team, would like to extend our gratitude to Walter for making the trip from Finland to visit our HQ in Spennymoor, Durham. It’s a true honour for us at Finnmark to tell these excellent products, crafted by Saas.
