Other benefits an infrared heater offers you: Unlike a radiator, it will not dry out the air inside the room after hours of usage. This prevents damage on the mucosa in nose and pharynx that require a certain level of humidity. This problem does simply not occur when using an indoor infrared heater! Another advantage: UV lamps do not only produce heat, but also light (except blacklight heatpanels). This creates a wonderful ambience in the evening! However these special lamps are not suitable for lighting an entire room and cannot replace a ceiling light.

Infrared heaters are perfect for outdoor areas, smaller models are great for bathrooms, above changing tables and in living rooms.

We generally recommend fan heaters for enclosed rooms or flammable surroundings!

In terms of power consumption the heaters are cost-efficient heat source: They are only switched on if it is actually required. Unlike other devices they do not have a start-up phase and do not need to heat up the surroundings before humans can feel an increased temperature. The service life of the lamps is outstanding, some manufacturers produce tubes with up to 5,000 hours life – this corresponds to 10 -15 years with average use.

Lamp types and replacement

Our range includes near-, mid- and far-wavelength heaters. However, there are many different types of heaters and IR lamps that can be applied in many different situations.

The producers in our range have come up with a couple of brilliant inventions amongst the UV lamps, so that sometimes there smooth transition from near- to mid- to far-wavelength heaters.

Overview of the lamps in our range:

Gold lamps: Visible red light emitted by IR-A heaters is not always desirable. A gold coating subdues the visible light, whereas the heat energy stays the same.

Fiore lamps emit a yellow light that is similar to the light of an incandescent bulb.

Ruby lamps contain red colour pigments inside the glass, resulting in an orange-red light.

Solastar, the lamps by producer Solamagic, promise a reduction of the visible light by 92 %.

Near-wavelength Low-Glare lamps made by CasaFan have a special coating which reduces the light output by as much as 70%, meaning they are ideal for use in workshops and production facilities as they have less dazzling light.

Mid-wavelength quartz lamps are suitable for use at home because their radiation does not penetrate skin as deeply as their near-wavelength counterparts.

Usually the tubes are easily accessible when the device is turned off, so that replacing the lamps can be done within a matter of minutes. Consulting a specialist is only required in very few cases, for example if the lamps are integrated into the structure of the device.

Our accessories

Portable devices for use at home are often very easy to transport, meaning they can be set up in many different places. The mounting can be supported by pedestals, tripods or additional wall brackets.

Radio remote controls and transmitters make it much easier to use the heater from afar! In restaurants for example, this allows you to regulate heat without attracting attention or disturb the privacy of your guests. A dimmer module comes in handy during sudden changes of the weather.

Safety instructions

Please do adhere to the safety distance stated by the manufacturer! This prevents accidental touch, burning of clothes and a “sunburn“ on your skin. Do not look directly into the lamp and keep away pets and small children. Device that are put on the floor need an even, stable foundation! In places with fire hazards, such as wooden sheds or industrial environments with explosive gas only heaters with special certification can be used.

Products in our range are usually low-maintenance or maintenance-free. The place of application and the coverage should be coordinated with the item’s specifications. We recommend reading our guide about safety measures.
