Both are full-spectrum infrared cabins in the same price band, and both post independently-verified low EMF — so this comes down to heat, extras and brand backing. The Sun Home Equinox is the value-forward newcomer with the highest heat output and integrated red-light and chromotherapy. The Clearlight Sanctuary 2 is the established premium, Jacuzzi-backed with a strong warranty. Newcomer features vs premium pedigree.
